    World of Warcraft: Classic

    classic died after WOTLK, cataclysm + is just the WoW TLP server. They tried to hide the failure a bit by releasing SOD and fresh start Classic2 at the same time they rolled to cata so that the hit to subs was obfuscated a bit but shit is dead.

    i'm not really sure I follow? if you are fusing hydrogen as fuel for the energy that hydrogen is fusing into helium, and that matter is contained within your reactor to maintain fusion mass anyway so you aren't using it as a propellant? Maybe you can bleed it off somehow with constant influx...

    Health Problems

    Shit I think I'm cooked then. Had a surgery consult, female surgeon...she couldn't do the surgery so referred me an hour away to another practice up in dc... New doctor is black, but at least he's a man? Surgery is scheduled for next month. Pray for me

    I mean its all speculation anyway, it's physically impossible to accelerate to the speed of light, to fuel a ship to even approach it, to find a source of energy that can produce infinite power, etc. It's all perpetual motion machines, matter replicators, infinite energy machines, magic. But...

    I'll let her clarify her position i'm still confused on it, well particular this: It sounds like she thinks you can just keep turning it off and turning it back on and continue to accelerate past c, which is false. Whether you describe it as time or mass approaches infinity doesn't really...

    That's great to explain what you the star ship passenger experience but it's actually not what is being discussed. You are limited in how much you can accelerate regardless if you are an outside observer or not. Closing your eyes doesn't change how much you can accelerate or the energy...

    If you are still seated when the row before you is deplaning your ass is getting skipped and your whole row is gonna be pissed, better be sitting in that window seat and not blocking anyone. 1. Never stand up until you are parked at the terminal and the fasten seat belt ding goes off. 2...

    Yes, it is. That's an easy one. Closing your eyes doesn't make your ship go faster. Neither does painting them red. But you could give it a shot and see which one helps more 😀 To give a shitty analogy that doesn't match the physics but is easy to visualize, take a car to the top of a really...

    welp I just finished season 2 and I was correct. Ep 1-3 was absolute unnecessary filler, there was no essential world building based it, there was no build up, no payoff, just fluff filler bullshit. In fact season 2 is better if you skip these episodes. Knowing that bix's retarded ass flees...

    I said what I said. but seriously. I get lactose intolerance in adulthood. We're not really meant to digest milk after the infancy/breast feeding age, much less the milk of other animals. I understand it. But not being able to digest fruits and vegetables? How the fuck are you alive? You...

    what are you talking about? A normal portion is 1 watermelon. 2 if you are black? I looked it up, It's 92% water, and 7% sugar (sucrose, fructose, glucose). 1% dietary fiber with some weak antioxidants and vitamin content. if your body can't digest sugar water you need to uninstall life

    ok screamfeeder try not to sperg out any more defending the most pointless story arc of any SW media. I'd say the acolyte was more important than that first arc. Andor is great, season 1 was good with consecutive story arcs that build upon each other. Season 2 is different. Each story arc is...

    who's saying it's rushed? I'm saying so far having watched 6 episodes that the first 3 didn't need to exist, that's the opposite of rushed. it drags on with needless filler. uh what? I didn't learn any of this in episodes 1-3. Pretty much everything on this list happened in episode 4...

    so, so wrong. Gravitational affects propagate at the speed of light, they are not infinite speed. We wouldn't feel the sudden loss of gravitational pull or shift in orbit until 8 minutes, because gravity's speed propagates at the speed of light. If gravity was this super fortune teller with...

    ok now you are just trolling, what's next brazillian power crystals? the only thing even suspected to be faster than light is the expansion of the universe itself, spacetime. Nothing in all of science in the heavens or earth requires FTL to be a thing in order to explain it.

    Here. Right here is where you did. Are you confused? Do you not understand you are basically saying you'd use an infinite energy generator to power your matter replicator to make fuel out of nothing so you can power your perpetual motion machine? Because that is exactly what you are stating...

    woah i'm not even sure where to start with this one. You think the answer is a perpetual motion machine combined with an infinite energy machine and a matter replicator, so like the trifecta of magic disguised as "science" I regret to inform you that matter cannot, in fact, be created, nor...

    And fusion runs off of? Oh that's right, fuel. matter. Whether you are taking big atoms and making smaller atoms or taking smaller atoms and making bigger atoms, you need fuel. Again the answer is always magic. And the time required is a product of distance and velocity? You guys truly do...

    I did watch the video. It's click bait, it's sci-fi. This super rare thing that only happened once? Of course the video then admits and glosses over that it happened multiple times. Hello, Chlorophyll. So that super rare thing has happened more than 100% of the time. 100% of the time it...
