Add it to the pile over there… gestures out of the window to a heap that closely resembles mount Everest

• You still have the extra bloat in memory.
• it shows a lack of focus on core issues rather than adding “cool” features.
• Can you actually trust that switching it off will disable it in every place they’ve incorporated it, not just now, but also in future?

There are undoubtedly other issues too.

Mid-flight, or do they wait until after landing?

Someone needs to post this running track on the War Thunder forums and claim that it could’nt be real as the deck is 5m shorter than the distance he ran between turns. They’ll have a full set of blueprints for the ship by lunch time, not to mention classified information about the ship’s speed and manouverability, armaments and navigation to disprove the assertion that it cant go that fast.

Hmm. I’m not sure how well that would handle the lumps. The advantage of using a vacuum is that the lumps can be up to the size of the flask neck. I’d expect that a syringe would have a much smaller bore, so would only really be suitable for broths and smooth soups. I’m not a vetinarian though, so I could be underestimating their size however.

“glitch”

The first time they rerun a storys it should be referenced as a “new olds” or “new old news”, the secon time as “old new olds”, and so on.

That’s a very good point. The problem with your average hip flask is that it’s really quite small, which means there is really not much space inside the flask to work with. The mechanism that springs to mind is the same as you find in a twist-up stick deoderant. Namely, you have a twistable knob on the base of the flask, which rotates a screw which runs up the centre of the flask. Mounted on the screw, inside the body of the flask, is a plate which, due to the geometry of the flask, can’t rotate, and will thus be forced to move up and down. Whilst ensuring the reliability of the seals may take some experimental work, this woild allow the user to retrieve the soup simply by twisting the knob, thereby compressing the soup, causing it to exit via the neck of the flask.

Ok, you start by fabricating a funnel that screws to the neck of the flask. It’s a bit of time on the lathe, but you only need to do it once.

Attach the funnel to the flask, and fill it with you soup of choice. Then place the entire contraption in your vacuum chamber and pump it down, slowly, to the lowest pressure it’ll manage. Don’t go quickly, or the soup will bubble out of the funnel, unless you made it particularly deep. Once you’ve evacuated the flask, and let the soup settle back down in the funnel, bring the pressure back up. At that point, the vacuum will suck the soup in to the flask. Once you’re back up to ambient pressure, detach the funnel, give the flask a wipe, close it and go about your day with a loaded soup flask.

Simple really.

It’s only going to matter to them when it’s their kids or grand-kids coming home with a flag draped over them.
