  • probably not.

    unless the planet is water all the way down, I don’t think it’s possible to have life or even submerged landmasses that don’t have the chemical elements that can create salts. dead things would dissolve in the water and chemicals in rocks will leach into water over time.

    now if this water planet is far enough away from the sun to freeze, sure. the frozen ice should be all fresh. I’m not aware of any salts that stay in frozen water ice. the stuff underneath the frozen stuff most definitely will be salty.

    not a chemist or chemistry major but I’m using the word “salts” deliberately. there’s more types of salt than NaCl.





  • I’m not really a fan because in a lot of cases it forces you to download stuff you might not want just to establish and maintain an acceptable ratio so eventually you can get the stuff you do want.

    if I wanted something obscure and not really interested in the popular thing I’m either wasting bandwidth and/or server space starting out or searching for that thing on a public tracker.

    the one private tracker I do use is extremely generous with upload credits for newbies and I was able to take advantage of that plus contribute something right away so I didn’t and still don’t have any issues but I know that’s not the case with some people.



  • not to me.

    I stayed in a college town for a summer in a state college prep type program, so I would have been at the perfect age to really enjoy the “college town” experience. it’s not really for me. and it doesn’t really have much of anything to do with the town itself. I liked the place that I stayed in. however driving over 30 minutes to go to a place as middling as a japanese restaurant was not so appealing. having services around is important to me, so unless it’s a giant college town like lexington, ky I’m not going to be interested.

    ps. I’m not going to live in lexington because lexington sucks.
