I believe when you swallow the muscles lining your esophagus contract in sequence to push the substance within down - it is not done by gravity. That said, I would still be difficult with water I should think. Although it doesn't explain how it is done, this shows an astronaut drinking seemingly normally (and explains how to make a cup in space) - http://www.neatorama.com/2008/11/25/drinking-coffee-in-space/

I drink the same way as Duke - by sucking the water into my mouth and then swallowing it from there. That said, I can (though usually don't) drink by pouring the liquid into my mouth and then swallowing, the way you might drink if you were drinking from someone else's drink (not wanting to touch the cup). Interestingly, if I pretend to drink, I notice I breath in as I tilt the glass. I've tried pouring the water in, and seem completely incapable of doing so.

8/10 Unique and interesting, but a bit plain visually.

US 10.5-11 A fairly common length, but my feet are too wide for regular 10.5 shoes, so I either get wider versions or go a little larger.

What do you think about Apple and their products?
CHR replied to Gamma4815's topic in Current Events
I find it interesting that people think Apple is massively innovative. Most of Apple's designs are not new, or much better than the competition, it's just that Apple seems to be popular. Take for example, this Motorola, it was a touch screen phone, similar in many ways to the iPhone, which was out in 2004. There have been plenty of touch screen tablets around before the iPad. I remember looking into Atom based tablets a few months before the iPad even had been heard of, and similar products had been around long before, the likes of Archos and Viliv spring to mind. I think what happens when Apple makes a product, is everybody jumps on board and has to have one, and they discover that the gadgets are actually worthwhile getting. Then all manner of companies start making their own versions because it has been popularised, and people will start to drift away from buying the Apple versions. Even now, there are plenty of popular alternatives to the iPhone, and I wouldn't be surprised if Apple finds sales start to drop off over the couple of years -
Noel Feathersbridge International Airport Pt. 2: Cargo & Expansion
CHR commented on Treason04's City Journal Entry in The City of Noel
I love the pictures, the airport looks wonderfully realistic. The only slight criticism I would add is that in some of the pictures I think you have done just a bit too much blurring, to the point where it starts to lose too much of the picture. But great work, I am looking forward to some more updates. -

CHR replied to Gamma4815's topic in Current Events
I haven't used Apple products much (certainly not owned any). While I think that Apple products look very attractive, and usually are in the upper end in terms of features, they are considerably more expensive than comparable products. I can appreciate that Apple make nice gadgets, but I really don't think that it is worth the extra money (or the lessened feature set compared to something of a similar price) to buy stuff made by Apple. I have to say that the new iPhone is quite tempting, and looks like it is probably one of the best phones out there, but I just don't know if the price is good enough to justify getting one. -

I really like the city. The curving roads look great. It looks just like the kind of ambitious projects they build in the Middle East!
-
I love the the RHW-6 and the HSR (especially that first bridge!). The neighbourhoods also look very pleasant - lots of greenery. The NWM roads fit in really well.

9/10 I like the haunted stare and the coldness of the picture. It looks almost emo... I think my avatar is due for a change soon...

The eye candy airports do not service the people in your cities. You can, however, find airport bus stops (such as the one here). This is considered by the game to be an airport, however it only looks like a bus stop in game - the idea being people can "catch a bus" from there to you pretty RMIP airport in another town.

Very pretty pictures. I have to agree that it is all very detailed. I love the docks in the second picture.
-
I love that first picture, with a a tiny little town on top of the hill. The industrial area looks very pleasant with all the trees and nature around it. Wonderful pictures again!

Eastwall and the University of Eastwall
CHR commented on iGod's City Journal Entry in Abbey-Upon-Tyne
I love the waterfront area, you have done the trees, rocks and paths wonderfully, and the apartments overlooking them look quite good too. The only problem I really had was that the houses are a bit too griddy/repetitive, maybe try to put in some more diagonals and keep the roads shorter. -
I like how you've shown the construction with the logs around the walls. You're doing a great job of giving everything a Roman look, which is quite difficult in SC4. It will be interesting to see what is going into the walled city! As a suggestion, can those gates be edited in LE to remove/change the road textures - if not to the dirt road texture, maybe to some kind of stone.

Rain Rain... (Part I)
CHR commented on _marsh_'s City Journal Entry in Royal Gansbaai Kingdoms [v.2]
Very nicely done. Everything seems to fit in wonderfully with the tropical look. I can really get a feel for the place.
