I must say, the way this journal is phrased strikes me as awfully impolite and passive aggressive. I certainly hope that the entire site hadn't adopted such an attitude back then. Also,
Anyway, it's pretty cool to see such an old map for HL2, most of the custom content I really have experience with is for GoldSrc. I'll have to try and find some to play.

I don't think even pressurised flights are kept at ground pressure, as I still remember my ears popping. A good trick for if your ears hurt at landing is to pinch your nose and 'blow out' through your closed mouth (increase the pressure in your air passages) and this will force the pressure in your ears to equalise. For some flights the pain can be quite intense so it can be a good trick to know.

I don't like the way it seems to be based on votes, rather than physical and psychological vetting. If I want to go to space, I'll go the harder but more rewarding route. I'm doing aerospace engineering and I'm interested in perhaps trying to work at NASA or ESA when I graduate (after experience of course), perhaps in 15 years with luck I might actually end up in a rocket as a flight engineer?

His last bit about the heart wrenching artsy film that features a fight between two brothers and a nude, erect one armed juggler was certainly mad. And I think by this point I've seen most of my favourite QI regulars, but there are still a few more for the future.
