You leave earth orbit into a solar orbit that is slightly shifted depending on which direction you were facing when you left earth's orbit

Orbital decay isn't just friction from particles, you also have imperfections in the orbit and other objects influencing the eccentricity over time. The moon has gravity too for instance.

Yeah, in space there's nothing to push against so all turning the sail would do would be presenting a smaller surface to be pushed directly away from the sun

And if you want more complicated orbital mechanics there's a ksp mod: Principia which adds n-body orbital mechanics over ksp's relatively simple patched conic orbital simulation.

I prefer palette because tastes are kinda like colours.

I always thought discs were optical and disks were magnetic

Rastamouse is pretty old now

A lot of conspiracy theories seem to hinge on the idea that anyone engaging in the theory somehow has access to information that most people don't, at least that's my theory.

Yeah I'm on the verge of blocking ml as well as hexbear, it's insane the level of mental gymnastics that's happening. Like what do they think Russia is going to do any less damage to the world than America if they get the chance?

Well the way you said "we don't need to play anything on Linux" implies that you're against the idea, my response was asking what you'd be doing instead. I'm not lost, I was wondering what headspace you're in that you're against that entirely. However it looks like you meant it in a purely literal sense. Most games aren't exploiting children though, so that's why I'd draw a line there.

Maybe they're doing work that involves moving a bunch of furniture around and they get a portion of it from IKEA?

Well if you'd rather nobody plays anything on Linux then you obviously have something else in mind so it has everything to do with this. You're the one insisting that it should only be used for some other purpose.
