Well…… damn. I suddenly feel depressed.
Is it because we don't get your joke or because you identify yourself with the first and second husband in mine? :P

Re: Outsider humor thread

I don't get that one. That's because it's not a joke. Sarah, Miyuki and Fatima were talking about educating their husbands. "I told my husband that he had to wash and iron his own laundry from now on. First week, I saw nothing. Second week, I still saw nothing. Third week he finally started doing i...

Re: Is the comic dead?

This hiatus does have a new, rather unsettling quality to it. The newest page here is 218, which was posted on Patreon more than a year ago. Then, we have 26 half-finished pages behind a paywall. Will they ever be finished? When will they appear here? Only time can tell. You know, with all the mone...

Re: Expedition

By the simple rule of elimination, we have the highest tech level out of all the known civilizations. :P Well, maybe except for the ones which built the vimanas . :ugeek: A formal scale is a bit difficult to implement, since no sane civilization would disclose enough information about them for such...

I did enjoy it. You should write more and it definitely deserves a follow-up.

So one question that occurs to me: can you freely "steal" the AI generated art?
Yes.
Or is that product copyrighted itself?
Copyright means that you have the right to copy it. :)

Can't wait to download and 3D print a Ferrari.

Re: Particle Beams

It's been a long time since high school physics and engineering school, but I don't think that math is quite correct. Looking at the formula they use to calculate acceleration on the page you cited, I come up with dimensions of m/s after a dimension check (a method I learned way back in e-school to...

Re: Particle Beams

That's because you're using the wrong units in these equations. F=ma | Force = Mass * Acceleration, where force is measured in kg⋅m/s² (Newtons) F=ma Yes. Newton's second law. And I wrote E=ma... OMFG. I really did that, didn't I? Please let me buy you a ticket to the Canaries so you can hit me on ...

Re: Merry Christmas

Well, anyone could see that was coming. Fifty pages later, Alex is spooning with Stillstorm. Rather... it would be quite the feat explaining how such an improbable thing could happen. You mentioned cake. That works. Tempo baked a space cake and both had a slice. Things were awkward when they woke u...

Re: Particle Beams

Nice calculations... but there is more. The Tempest... like other Loroi warships... and she is an older model, can do 30g for 100 hours before exhausting their fuel supply. So that is ultimately more energy than I reckon some ENTIRE countries produce in a year lol. It is safe to say that Loroi do n...

Re: Particle Beams

Such weapons will require a lot of power, but the actual mass of the beam is fairly small, so I think the power requirements of the weapons will pale in comparison next to the power requirements of the drives, if they can push a massive starship at high accelerations. The figures are absolutely min...

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oh-My-God_particle When I came across this years ago, I spat my coffee back in the cup. 51 joules for a single particle. Try to imagine it: a single, minute particle like a proton having this amount of energy. Kinetic energy = 1/2 * mass * speed^2 If the mass is one ...

Kind of figured. I mean she never got her own character section in the Extras section on the website. Don't feel too bad. If Arioch can make us like someone with relatively little time on the panels, then he can easily make more. Now I am concerned for other fan-favorites. I have a strong feeling S...
