IIRC, Kepler 22-b was the first planet found where water is likely to be liquid that isn't also a gas giant. A number of sci-fi entries reference it as a result. It's probably still not habitable by people though, given that its gravity is ~2.5 times that of Earth and is furthermore probably...

Considering that unless the Eagles get their act back together, the only NFC teams I consider contenders are all in the West, I expect some great playoff games on that side of the fence.

Lots of chatter Nvidia is cutting production, in part due to slower sales and in part due to memory costs - https://www.pcmag.com/news/nvidia-might-cut-rtx-50-gpu-supply-by-up-to-40-in-2026-due-to-memory-shortages Specifically, cutting production on the lower end 16GB cards (5060Ti and 5070Ti)...

The obvious interpretation is that it is House, with the 'old stomping grounds in Vegas' comment... ... except the back half of that sentence is 'where you all left off'. Who would the "all" be in this context? And why would House need to copy someone else's work for tech he either invented or...

That's really rude to spoil that without mentioning Hank using the Zetan Resuscitator on her he got from the Shi in San Francisco.

Hank walked into a room marked Global Comms for his radio message, there's no need for it to be a local branch - obviously the Enclave had significant resources in the DC area in the Fallout 3 DLC, for example.

In regards to whom Hank is talking to on the phone - I'll assume whomever the Enclave president / leader is now. The show did introduce the Enclave in season one when Michael Emerson / Wilzig escapes from them with Dogmeat and the cold fusion chip, but I have a hard time imagining the show will...

Since the internet seems to be confused: House was not recast. Justin Theroux, the guy at the bar, is the real Robert House. Rafi Silver, the guy in the pre-war meeting Cooper spied on last season, and who was on the TV at the bar this season, is a fake House. He's likely Robert House's...

That wasn't particularly exciting. And not only going with Novac, but playing Big Iron right off the bat? Boy, Bethesda / this show is going to mine someone else's work to the bedrock this season, aren't they. I am somewhat surprised they admitted the Reds are actually Chinese (nationality was...

That clip was all I've seen online. Looked legitimate, to be honest - ironically, that third world angled cam-recording makes it seem tougher to AI fake, in my opinion. I would also think someone faking the footage would make more interesting footage, to be honest.

Apparently they've given up on actual movie reviews at this point.

Clue came out in 85, it was only 14 years old when EQ launched, and only 19 years old when WoW launched. I would assume that most board (pr predecessor) members from those respective launches were alive when Clue came out, though given that WoW has been running for 21 goddamn years, many newer...

The public argument was at Conan O'Brien's Christmas party, not too outlandish to imagine someone else brought a little something along to a Hollywood party, the kid partook / acquired some, and the dad went ballistic when he found out, adding public embarrassment to whatever drug fueled...

Tua has a right around $100M dead cap hit if released next year - I don't think the Dolphins want him gone enough to even do that as a June 1st cut. I do expect them to draft another QB, though I am sure the 'wins' they've had recently will keep them out of being able to draft any real QB...
