    I'm trying to figure out that Scooby pic... Scooby communicates via emoji Velma is a gamer dwarf that uses drones Shaggy is a hipster And Fred and Daphne are the muscle who fight with alien tech? Speaking of which, they're in an Alien hive? Yeah, not liking it

    I never tried AA Zeratul, but wasn't AA + Shadow Assault viable in the past? I always went Void Prison for the utility, but I guess I could see SA working if cc is already covered via Mosh Pit or Devouring Maw.

    Virtual Reality

    With the specs being what they are, you'll probably need a Mac Pro to do any VR related rendering with an Apple product. If anything, they'll probably do something from the consumer / iTunes perspective: Apple TV compatible headsets or something.

    Baltimore city traffic was pretty hosed this morning for rush hour. The streets are passable, but all the two lane roads were down to one lane and left turn lanes were non-existent. Not looking forward to the commute home.

    It definitely makes more sense than Gathering Power and you'll be punished less from dying. Loving the changes to Rehgar too. The level 20, 30% auto-attack heal makes Bloodlust more viable, since they increased the heal amount of his Chain Heal. Lunara / Raynor / Hammer / Butcher with that...

    Saw this via StarTalk, but more fitting here than in the astronomy thread: Anthony Bourdain watching Bob Kramer make a knife from a meteorite. Kind of expecting the knife to glow when bad guys are around.

    I usually use rosemary and garlic when butter basting steak. But I haven't done that technique in years. Throwing them in the sous vide bag is much easier.

    Heroes of the Storm

    All her abilities refreshing on a kill probably means they had to tune her numbers down. In general though, her abilities don't look like they have the same oomph as D3. But that's probably for tuning sake. I'm more interested to see pros make some plays with her kit. I'm kind of doubting I'll...

    Heroes of The Storm on Twitter Balance patch is nice, but still not sure about the second voice. Necromancer maybe? edit: I'm gonna go w/ Zayl (talking about balance in second vid) + Humbart (laughing in first vid) based on this video (6:10)

    The Astronomy Thread

    Thanks (+1). I asked the question about "why water landings" to begin with. But to summarize, the goal is to colonize Mars, and to slow down a rocket there, you have to get good at landing via rockets (and not say wings and wheels like the shuttles, bc there's no landing strips on Mars). I...

    You're right. The second voice could be any number of characters, but he sounds more undead to me.

    If your landing platform is moving up and down by 13 ft, you'd think they'd postpone the test. I haven't really been following their efforts too closely, but why are they trying to land over sea versus over land? The benefits don't seem that obvious to me.

    Extra virgin olive oil has one of the lowest smoke points (i.e. starts smoking at the lowest temperature). Plus, it breaks down and starts tasting funny at high temperatures, so it's not great for pan searing. If you blend it with a bit of vegetable/canola oil though, it'll raise the smoke point.

    More oil isn't going to help the chicken not stick to the pan, but getting the pan hotter before you add the chicken will. Gotta get that Maillard Reaction going to form a crust on the chicken which will help it release from the pan better. Also, not sure if this applies or not, but I...

    Pasta + pesto, sure. But kale doesn't fit into the equation other than as a side dish, imo. Saut? some onion w/ the garlic and cook down the kale? The only other way I personally use kale is in soups.

    Well, Greymane is supposed to drop this week. If he's tuned properly, his kit seems like he could make a viable competitive assassin, which is something we haven't gotten since KT. AA poke in human form and then jump in to get the kill.

    That's true. I guess your scenario would be a better use of the combo, team fight winding down and a squishy is out of position.

    I mean, the video is just what he does to warm up before an important match. It requires a lot of accurate button pushing. But I mean, if you can consistently do this combo, why wouldn't you to try to blow someone up in an organized fight? He does a similar combo with Valla too (2QW13R at 5:28)...

    Louis CK and Bill Burr are both on Apple Music. But I think the selection might be incomplete? Only two albums for Louis CK: Hilarious (2011) and Chewed Up (2008), and three for Bill Burr: Let It Go (2010), Why Do I Do This (2008), and Emotionally Unavailable: Expanded Edition (2007).

    Oh oops. I did read it wrong. It's 0.11, 0.13, and 0.73 cents per play, so tenths of a penny per play. Still not great for the artists though, I'd have to play a song 10 times to get them a penny.

    I tried the Sylvanas combo a few times when I got home and could not pull it off. Tried the Kerrigan thing too of blinking around and comboing Arthas, but that's a lot easier than the Sylvanas combo. That's probably why he's a pro and I'm scrub tier though.

    You can throw Sylvanas in there with Gazlowe. I don't know why, but at the shit tier ranks, they only seem to want to split push and get picked off.

    It's a little weird that Leia and Han named their son Ben, no? Han didn't really believe in the Force in ANH and Leia only really knows him from her father / R2. Every time Obi-Wan shows up after ANH it was as a force-ghost to Luke.
