    The Astronomy Thread

    http://www.slate.com/blogs/bad_astro...g_so_many.html Go down to the section, "Cosmic Shooting Gallery." Phil Plait explains it in pretty good detail. The tl;dr version is that DA14 was moving south-north and the Chelyabinsk meteorite was moving east-west. They were on different orbital paths.

    Pears are my kryptonite. I make tons of shit with them. Helps that Oregon is basically king in them. Plain, or with a bit of sharp cheddar. Slice them thick and pop them on the grill and serve them over pork chops. Broil them with a little butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. Dice and stew them...

    Die Hard 5- A Good Day to Die Hard.

    Enjoyed it. Was on par with 4, imo. And if you need to know my order, it's 1>=3, 2, 4=5. As all real fans should have it. That's not to say I dislike any of them, really, but thereisa proper hierarchy.

    No. They'd all come from the same general direction. These came from completely different directions. Not related.

    It's not "outside of known technology." That's a retarded thing to say. We know how to do it. We just haven't put any resources into realizing the process.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    It's Darwin Day, bitches. I'm going to a talk by Massimo Pigliucci. If you have any questions you want me to try and ask him (if he allows for questions), put em up here. And if you're in Portland, he's at PSU in the Student Rec Center at 7pm. It's free. Edit: And if you don't know who...

    Path of Exile

    Now that the servers are pretty much rock solid, I'm trying to decide what kind of HC character to make. It's haaaaaaaaard. Edit: Hard to decide, I mean. Edit2: My penis, too.

    Some more on it. http://www.universetoday.com/99750/a...ing-on-mars-2/ And those rocks would be no trouble to navigate. The scale on that picture is deceiving: it's small stuff.

    Vanguard - I don't give a fuck if it's dead, It's still brown as fuck (Download link in 1st post)

    Don't bother playing. It's better, but it's still shit. And I'm convinced that the only people still playing it are ass burgers. No one talks. At all. I'm already uninstalling it.

    Vanguard - I don't give a fuck if it's dead, It's still brown as fuck (Download link in 1st post)

    Still not "great," but certainly not the MMO shitstain it used to be. They really did kind of turn it around. Not horrible, for a F2P game. Will be giving it a go for a while.

    Vanguard - I don't give a fuck if it's dead, It's still brown as fuck (Download link in 1st post)

    I beta'd Vanguard with the last guild I was ever really an active member of. We were going to move to VG from EQ2. We were all so disappointed. I think it lasted a month before the guild dissolved. Vanguard killed my guild, and I'll never forgive anyone that was involved. Fuck it, I'm bored...

    Path of Exile

    The nice thing about Cold Snap is that it does complement a melee build, if used for that purpose. A fight typically goes: Round up monsters, get them packed together, then Cold Snap and then mop them up with Double Strike. It has pretty high damage and a high freeze rate, and it casts fast with...

    Weight Loss Thread

    There's something even easier you can do: go for a fucking walk. Super happy anecdote time! I used to weigh over 400 lbs.. I'm now at 218. I lost weight because I stopped eating so goddamned much. Calories in, calories out. If you reduce calories in, calories out doesn't matter that much...

    Path of Exile

    This is (sort of) the build I'm aiming for, and so far it's been fun. Dagger/shield shadow caster. Use Cold Snap to take out and control packs, and then wade in with the dagger to clean up. http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-s...bz6vVL-_X_HA== Will be adjusting it as I level.

    Why do developers think its fun getting stunlocked? At this point, I'm going to have to build every character around Unwavering. Because being stunlocked is so fucking fun! At least put in a small delay after getting stunned where you can't get stunned again, even if only for a half second. I...

    "Good" games, that you hate.

    I'm glad I read this post. I'd bought DS1 and DS2 a while back, and having tried the abortion that was DS1 for PC, I didn't bother trying 2. Just fired it up, and it's pretty awesome.
