We don't even have enough active members to fill out a Fenris cruiser anyway.

Does anyone know how many people would crew a Fenris? I checked the wiki, but couldn't find any such information. I certainly can't remember anything about crew.

A couple dozen in FS1, 'thousands' in FS2. If you go with a crew density similar to a modern warship, or even quite a bit below, thousands makes more sense (even if it feels ridiculous).

Could you even fit thousands into a Fenris?  The model is pretty small :P

Fenris is larger than a Nimitz, remember?

The model is not small. It's bigger than an aircraft carrier with some 6000 aboard. I think a lot of us are of the opinion that the crew spaces are a comparatively small part of the actual hull, but still, you've got a ton of room.

Let's see, this thing got started on May 3rd, 2008, or 1872 days ago. With this post, there are 24957 posts in this topic, which averages out to 13 1/3 posts per day, which means that in order to break a million posts, it would have to run for another 73141 days, or roughly 200 years.
It should be noted that HLP as a whole only has slightly over 1.6 million posts.

Then here's to HLP lasting for at least two centuries.

WRT the Fenris, note that Freespace is pretty terrible at convincingly portraying scales. I mean, the Perseus is longer than the average house, but it certainly doesn't look like that ingame.

Saw a feminist(?) poster, supposedly about "cat calls" but featuring the text "women do not owe you their time or conversation".

But... but... but...



No. That applies to strangers, not friends who happen to be female. :doubt:

 
Re: W-H-I-Y-L It's over 24000!!!!! (pages)
There is a fine line between "feminist" and "misandrist".

I've found the more strongly a "feminist" feels about their beliefs, the more they tend to cross that line.

I have an interview at New Covent Garden Market, working in HR for a wholesales firm in 10 hours.

All their job are belong to me.

Edit: I've also been added to someone's favorite author list on FF.net, despite my complete lack of any stories posted. It seems that my scathing reviews and witty comments have garnered me some attention outside of entertained and/or indignant authors.
My sphere of influence grows.  :drevil:

There is actually a gaping gulf, as if separating two nearly opposite poles

Indeed, it is aimed at strangers, though if you are also having trouble with your female friends, it could be that you're being a creep!

I'm a natural born creep. Generally I would just casually walk up beside people and say "Evening" and gals would jump
This is why I don't have relations with the opposite sex (amongst a long list of other things)
"No"

Well, I'm thinking about the same group of six female "friends" I'm always thinking about.

Like ... there are an infinity of possible futures. There must be at least one where I end up being friends with at least one of them again. Or even get a "goodbye" from one of them.

Happens to me with either sex. Which is why I don't have any relations.

I kinda like it better that way.
Fun while it lasted.

Then bitter.
