    The Astronomy Thread

    It's more about those few hundred jobs in very specific congressional districts and their congressmen who keep NASA afloat. Though the going story is that the funds for the SLS were allocated years before SpaceX even came along.

    A.C.E.C, the disruption of normal human cognition.

    That's one shitty global conspiracy if they can't even keep the UN and Western Europe from shitting on Israel on behalf of Palestinian Terrorists.

    The Expanse

    Drummer is in the books but not at this point in the story. She appears later but the show wanted to establish her earlier and her character more or less fills the role well.

    The USAF just certified the Falcon Heavy for launch contracts AND just signed up for a FH launch in 2020. That's like shockingly quick...NASA still hasn't committed so much as a cargo SLS mission for the Heavy. DOD contracts are literally ULA's mealticket and they cannot HOPE to outbid...

    The Best Year for Movies from 1970-1999?

    This is a sneaky way to get people to reveal their ages. It's obviously 1982 though. Blade Runner. ET. Conan the Barbarian. TRON. The Dark Crystal.

    Aww you gonna do the no-text gif posting thing? I thought you were the ADULT in this conversation? You want more charts and arrest reports? Ooh maybe you disbelieve Chuk's chart about the ineffectiveness of Obama's Pedophile prosecution track record? How about you just stick to more...

    A.C.E.C, the disruption of normal human cognition.

    Misbehaving is actually hilarious tho. I only cited the ones that were relevant to titan's post about confirmation bias and cognitive reflection. Cialdini's Pre-Suasion would actually be good too, and not too technical.

    They took it off actually hahaha. They've taken IQT's money before, I dunno what they were expecting which vendors they'd find for Boston Dynamic's robots too.

    A.C.E.C, the disruption of normal human cognition.

    If you're experiencing that particular shower-thought a little too often I'd suggest reading Thaler's book on choice architecture and nudge theory (for which he won the Nobel Prize) Also Kahnemann's Thinking Fast and Slow should prolly be required reading for everyone who wants to deal with...

    The Expanse

    Miller tells Holden what he's looking for in the show so it's not much of a spoiler... he's there to investigate what happened to the "civilization" that built the protomolecule billions of years ago. So when Holden finally does as he was asked he got exactly what Miller said they'd find...

    RIP Bourdain

    I liked Burnt. Actually if you liked Burnt there's a documentary on Netflix called 42 Grams, based on the startup Chicago restaurant that won TWO Michelin stars in its first year.... then flamed out shortly after because the Chef is as abusive (even to his wife/manager) as he is brilliant...

    So has anyone found screens/archives of Asia Argento's instagram posts about "fuck everyone" or something? She deleted them after they found bourdain dead.

    Top Gun (1986)

    That's almost entirely identical to my gritty HBO near-future reboot of Robotech except the female lead Minmei figure is actually a MtF tranny.

    LOL if you're rolling with KC's and Stalkers by then the rest of the campaign will be trivial. It's kinda like in Skyrim when you've outlevelled everything.

    The Expanse

    It's actually cool that they leave ambiguity about whether Holden is having hallucinations about Miller in the show. In the book they clearly describe the whenever he sees Miller. I'm sure that'll come but it's another layer of tension that IMPROVED on the source.

    What did you just read?

    If you haven't read The Expanse series, that's the closest thing. There's also David Weber's Honorverse, which loses gas a few books in like everything else David Weber. And Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan series, which isn't as serial as Commonwealth or the Expanse but has a couple...

    The Expanse

    At least she actually TRIED it this eps. She's definitely gonna need to work on it since there's gonna be a whole season about her shitty vagina choices. I hope they bring Jared Harris back as Dawes too... his creole is like the bar everyone had to aspire to.

    The settlement/base building thing was the best thing about Fallout 4. Anyone who disagrees is categorically retarded.

    The Expanse

    They already cast Basia from the previous season and they showed Katoa this season. So if they were follow the pattern of finishing the next book and going from there mid-season, they can already do that.

    Fallout 76

    Actually there wouldnt be too many mutants yet if it's only 25 years after the war. In fact there would be another fifty years of nuclear winter. That would pretty cool though...it would be set in the origin story for all the mutations that would eventually become Fallout staples. Play...
