1. You stop using the brakes in your car and simply lift your foot off the accelerator to coast to a stop at junctions.

2. You can fit a shoebox into your letterbox without touching the sides.

3. Your computer chair has developed new creaks from leaning into banked turns.

4. Your spouse/partner/significant other can now sleep trough a D-Scan Honk, with the subwoofer switched on.

...CARRY ON, COMMANDERS!

It's been a bit 'dark' and there have been many cross words in the forum recently, so I thought I'd start a little light-hearted fun-banter.

5. You close your eyes and feel like you are inside a clothes dryer. (Haven't been able to shake this completely since I turned off rotation assist for 15 minutes last weekend.):p

When you convert the time it takes to do something into cr/hr.
"this 10 minute walk would have netted me 260000cr! "

7. You Immediately accelerate if you see a police car behind you in case he scans you and issues a disproportionately large fine for the booze in the back of your car.

8. You photograph and scan your supermarket receipts and upload them to Slopey's BPC tool

OCD
sitting in a traffic snake at night on the motorway and trying to use the wiper control to target switch to see who's behind you in SC
or hitting the horn to interdict the idiot infront of you doing 65 in the outside lane
or your skin is paper thin from the heat coming from 2x780's and the 'lecy bill must be so high as wife has had the cheek to use the dryer

Btw coming off m-ways/dual carriageways, I do come off the throttle long before needing to brake to save fuel (assuming I won't be slowing down a load of traffic behind me), I do brake of course ;).
.
And lol @ post 9 & 13 :), sorry I can't think of 1 atm :(

You start lowering the gear (undercarriage to you Brits) approaching the gas station/c-store- and the gear lever isn't there. And, looking for pad numbers.

When in a rotating station your ship stays relative with the station.. U rotate around center axis with station... If u turn it off and stand there inside the ground will rotate from under u. Makes landing a pain because you have to match station rotation .


I find myself looking up at stars and saying .. I'm gonna travel there

You tell your wife, who is driving and complaining about traffic while you are trying to take a nap in the passenger seat to, "just deploy the beam lasers and kill all these <expletive deleted>".

After capsizing a rowing boat you start complaining that the inertial damping was broken and the rotational assist deactivated.
