We need a âthrow rotten fruitâ gesture, get outta here stu!

âI know the killer toxic fog is coming for me, but I really gotta take this photo.â
Are they still called Doughnuts if youâre doing them in a ship over water and not a hatchback in an empty shopping centre car park?
Score another point for power lines over buried cable.
This flying snake thing sends their appreciation, @BoomstickJoe.
When I saw this, and @toddumptious response, I almost askedâŚwho the heck is Stu? I didnât, becauseâŚwellâŚI just didnât. Anyway, tonight I did a Nexus mission (we are over 40% BTW) and it sent me to a system that was discovered by, yes, Stu.
So now I really have to ask, who the heck is Stu?
As an aside, the âweekend specialâ of going to a system that is a whole lot more âgalaxy centralâ than I generally go and killing a mere 15 plants for 1800 QS and a circuit board seems too good to be skipped.
Stu seems to have some sort of magical ability to race ahead of everyone during Expeditions and claim systems and planets. His powers must be fading though. I did not notice any claims during this current expedition but then again, I skipped a lot of systems
Well, he was first to the weekend plant killing mission planet at the nexus, so his powers are not completely dissipated.
Itâs almost as if thereâs some way to change your system clock and⌠No. No. Thatâs impossible. You canât change time. Itâs the other way around.
Stu is indeed magic. And weâre humans so⌠Burn the witch!
Before an expedition starts, the necessary files are downloaded to your computer. In the past, this download has varied between hours and days before the expedition actually starts.
The actual start begins when an unlock code is sent to your computer. I believe they do this to stagger the downloads, and ensure (as far as possible) that everyone can start at the same time.
When the last expedition downloaded, I opened up the game, and tried to start the expedition. It wasnât yet time, and the game told me that a new expedition would start soon. Then the screen flickered, and the expedition started. I wasnât ready for this - I had intended to take materials through the anomaly - so I shut it down.
I put my materials in the anomaly, and tried to start the expedition again, but I couldnât. It wasnât time yet, and the unlock code hadnât been sent. It was another two hours before the expedition officially started. I had somehow managed to glitch my way into starting the expedition two hours early, but I was unable to repeat the feat.
And the whole point of all this is that it is possible to start an expedition hours before the official launch - Iâve done it. I did it by accident, but I bet thereâs people who know how to do it on purpose.
This struck me as some sort of very strange symbiosis. The bright lights on stalks are so much like the âbaitâ sprouting off the snout of an anglerfish that it seems like they serve to draw in victims for the tangly looking plants. But they sprout off of the big rock in the middle and I canât think how drawing in prey for the plants does anything for the rock. This grouping is common all over this ocean.
A cynical person might think this was just a game, and not the result of genuine evolution at all. 
Thank you. This seriously made me laugh loud enough to wake up my dogs.
Thank you both. This seriously made me laugh loud enough to wake up my cats
