I set times of the day I have to eat by. If my lunch time limit has come and I haven't eaten yet, I gotta stop and eat. Makes me be aware of what time it is too, so double good. Last night, I had no intention of eating because the kitchen was busy and my stomach was hurting, but I had promised myself I would eat no matter what, so I got take-out.

Also, because I'm pretty out of it for a bit after eating, it makes me divide my day into smaller sections so I can plan better.

I'm not believing that. The shortest distance between Earth and Mars is 35.8M mi (57.6M km). The average speed would need to be ~50k mph (80 kph). Top speed would need to be much higher to account for acceleration and deceleration. That would also mean we'd need enough fuel for constant acceleration the whole trip.

Even then, that's considering a perfect straight line if both planets are going the same speed and have no gravity. But, orbital flight doesn't work like that. First, we'd have to leave the Earth's gravity well. Then, float along between the two while orbiting the Sun in an arc, which would make the distance longer since it's not a straight line (see image below). Once at Mars, we'd need to decelerate (accelerate in the opposite direction) much more than on Earth because of Mars lower gravity meaning slower orbital speed.

Also, Russia can't tell the truth. It's part of their psyops. Always lying teaches people that truth is whatever they say, not objective reality.

KDE is an organization that makes a desktop environment and associated apps. The DE is called Plasma, but was initially called KDE and many still call it that. I think the joke is that since the rocket uses actual plasma and KDE is popular lately, they're saying the rocket uses KDE Plasma.
