The first orbital racing game Slingshot Speeders now has cosmetics and an extreme difficulty rotating map and refueling system It’s free to play in browser without an account. Feel free to ask me any questions, happy to talk about it! The next update will be the Season Zero which won’t be wiped. I plan on creating many more maps through the in-game map making system once is fully live to ensure there’s plenty of challenges along with weeklies. slingshotspeeders.com/changelog

I'm in Chicago, I just recently put in my 2 weeks at work because I was given additional responsibilities with no raise in pay. I told them I expected $25 an hour up from $19.50 an hour because I would effectively be taking on the responsibilities of an entire other role in the company which was being integrated into my workflow. They couldn't do it. So now I'm looking for a job that actually pays $25 now because that's the bare minimum for a living wage today.

I assume the NHTSA will pay for it? Good luck, fuckers.

This may be a joke now, but it's actually what's going to happen.

Thank you, it's been an awesome learning experience/hobby over the last month. I've been enjoying some very tasty salads and adding the greens to other dishes. My mom has also been enjoying the ones I've been giving her.

Speckled peas, one of the most ideal plants for microgreens because they are strong growers and cheap. Even at that height/age, some people don't like them because they're a bit tough, but still very edible if you chop only the top half.

The bubble is actively breaking. Next couple months are going to be awesome. Along with oil prices making people think about getting an EV.

Answering some concerns:

The V2 I'm planning solves the bending issue, using a wider shelving unit with more shelves in less height with two of those lights per shelf directly above each tray. The mylar I'm going to place on each shelf to ensure absolutely no light from below penetrates through the bottom of the trays which I've noticed confuses the sprouts direction of growth.

I am using these which seemed really cheap for what I need, and allow for some automation. They are on the weaker side, but even a single one seems to be enough (although causing bending because not dispersed enough evenly). By using two per shelf, I'll probably be able to dim them more, using only the exact energy I need from each one.

Interesting, I tried it with DeepSeek and got an incorrect response from the direct model without thinking, but then got the correct response with thinking. There's a reason why there's a shift towards "thinking" models, because it forces the model to build its own context before giving a concrete answer.

They are highly nutritious and chefs and health food people pay a lot for them. They are primarily used as a garnish or addition to main dishes. Compared to full grown vegetables they are more nutrient dense, and they're typically eaten raw so you don't miss nutrients lost from cooking.

I have started measuring it out in quarter cups before soaking, still figuring out how much to use exactly. Depends on seed as well.

My electricity bill is negligible compared to my overall rent and other expenses. I think I pay roughly $65 a month average, higher in summer because air conditioner about $100 at hottest month, lower in winter because heating is radiator and free at $55. Basically my air conditioner consumes over $30 a month just to keep myself from roasting.

Here are the lights I'm using, should help do the calculation for you. I have to run them for about 8-10 hours a day, 8 of them. But yea, for me these lights are nothing compared to other things like my refrigerator and air conditioner in summer.

I solved three issues with the previous setup. One was not enough space for two trays on each shelf slightly overlapped on the previous shelf, solved by having a slightly wider shelf. Two was a single light in the center causing bending during growth, solved by putting two on each shelf. Three was light bleed beneath the trays which was confusing the sprouts at early germination stage, many were going down towards the light bleeding from underneath, solved with mylar. Downsides is I only have 4 shelves now instead of 5 previously for a total of 8 trays at a time which I think is perfectly fine because I'm not yet at the point of scaling. Also, the shelf takes up slightly more horizontal space because it's larger. The shelving unit has a fixed position for each shelf because of holes in the poles where each piece fits to hold each shelf. So ideally I could fit another shelf in it and lower the amout of space. This shelf was only $33 so I'm willing to trade that off. The entire upgrade I estimate to be about $75. The trays I'm using now are slightly bigger as well so it was necessary, they didn't fit on the previous shelf at all so it's nearly worthless for this purpose, but I will use the old shelf for storage.

It's easier than you think, I just recommend finding good videos on YouTube and following the rules they mention. Anaerobic conditions are the biggest problem you need to avoid, otherwise a whole bunch of bad stuff happens.

Here are the roots under the lid.

And here's what the image looks like rotated 90 degrees for fun.

Being a billionaire in this economy should be risky af.

They'll be fine, the competition shouldn't hurt. We just watch them grow from here and make sure water is swapped at least once every two days.

Tropaeolum growing hydroponically deep water culture. LEDs provide side lighting rather than above so they don't grow inward and over shadow each other. More vertical space down the sides for them to naturally hang down. These have been growing rapidly now that they are properly rooted and I have the nutrients and acidity balanced.

What do you want to know specifically, here's what they are.

Thanks for asking, these are what I'm growing right now in the DWC: tropaeolum 2 empress of India, 1 Alaska mix, 1 Jewel mix, 5 lacinato kale, 1 genovese basil. Microgreens I'm growing speckled peas, daikon radish. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

I checked again today, reservoir became basic again so added even more pH down. This is why you soak the rock wool to neutralize, because it's very basic and raises the pH drastically.

Great questions and thanks for asking. I grow them further to the microgreen stage, and yes I've moved to a complete separation of the initial complete blackout soak in water, and then the move to the tray about 48 hours later like you said. Soaking the radish seeds also enlarges them so they don't fall through the tray holes. Here are some closer photos of the harvests.

Thanks, yea I'm going to consider it. I'm already selling to a family member, they're helping prove the model. The idea being that I'm going for minimal waste, near zero packaging waste, selling the tray with the live young greens, and the customer returns their old harvested tray and I bring them a new one for reduced cost, milk man style for microgreens.

Seriously thank you for the feedback and I’m glad you like the idea. Scaling should work if you go to settings, and rebinding R to something else. I have made the adamant decision to never add time controls to the core simulation for multiple reasons, but I encourage you to try to map making system to make tighter faster maps. Most maps are already under 2 minutes to complete, but indeed the easy once involve only two major maneuvers unlike the hard ones. The ship size I will be scaling up by about 20% on screen, along with adding a white arrow that points in the direction it’s facing, similar to the yellow force arrows which can be toggled on and off, and I’ll add a feature to separate the toggle so you can turn off force arrows while keeping the direction arrow. The point of QE to rotate is to provide meaning and skill to ship main thrust vectoring, which is much more realistic similar to a game like Rocket League. You can use RCS but it’s only 50% as powerful and doesn’t have afterburner. Did you have issues choosing increasing the scaling in the settings? On my phone I typically do 150% and it allows for up to 200%. Thanks again for playing!

Skill issue.
