Who’s to say that Ai Hoshino isn’t also blind?

There was an assassination attempt on Trump recently. He barely escaped being shot in the head and managed to get away with only a graze that damaged his right ear

No, the point is that trump wouldn’t use the right airpod, so it will always be at full charge

Level1Tech did mention your exact issue as one of the common symptoms that would occur on degraded 13th/14th gen parts. It’s looking like it’s the CPU’s error, not the SSD

Not sure if you saw Level1Tech’s recent video on the topic, but he speculated that it could be the area connecting the cache to the cores, as that was apparently changed to accommodate for more cores in the 13th/14th gen parts. The change was speculated to have made the connection weaker and more prone to degradation, especially when the connection was expected to communicate with a lot of cores (hence why this occurs mainly on high core count parts)

Flying is definitely the first challenge that players tend to meet. Just use autopilot. You can cancel the autopilot mid-flight, and you absolutely should cancel the autopilot if you start to see that a planet is getting in your way. Most people just fly with the autopilot, and that’s really my biggest advice.

If you really insist on flying manual, don’t treat it like driving a car. Spaceships (both real and in-game) drift most of the time. You want to get up to speed (400 m/s is a good top speed most of the time) and then drift the rest of the way to your destination. Do you see the white dotted arrows coming out from the planet that you’re targeting? You want to get those arrows to be as short as possible. If the arrows are visible, that means you’re not lined up with the planet and you’ll miss the planet

That’s slightly untrue. The physics is in fact accurate. It’s just that the ship engine is so powerful that you can effectively ignore the gravity. If you’ve ever tried to land on the ___ _______, you’ll know that by far the easiest and safest way is to utilize orbital mechanics

Yeah, people tend to have that problem, especially if they’re treating it like driving a car. If you want to fly manual, never fly more than 400 m/s, because then you won’t have enough time to slow down.

My actual advice though is to just use autopilot. People seem to forget that you can cancel autopilot. If you start to see that there’s something getting in your way, cancel the autopilot and push the ship to the left or right (it’s easier to go around the planet than to slow down). Once you’re clear, resume autopilot.

Seconding lockpocking. Easy to learn, tactile feedback (very kid friendly!), can absolutely annoy parents. But be careful to teach children not to do anything that’ll seriously get them into trouble

There’s a technique in science that’s commonly used called blotting. It is basically exactly what it sounds like. You transfer a biological sample to a sheet of paper by pressing the paper into your sample.

The person who first developed blotting was a guy with the last name Southern, and he did it to transfer DNA into paper. So that became known as a Southern Blot.

Then someone else decided to try the same thing with RNA, and so they called it Northern Blot, because ofc North is opposite of South. Then someone else tried it with proteins, and that became known as a Western Blot. I think now there’s even Northeastern Blots
