    Wheel of Time

    Terrible show, it's like they tried to cast the ugliest people possible. Between the fat mages, the bitch with the mole, the mouth breather wolf dude and that ginger with the world's most punchable face I'm in a perpetual state of revoltion. None of them have any acting depth at all, it's like...

    Generalized family drama

    I'm in a similar situation, my mother made my childhood miserable and she would compare how terrible she was treated to how she treated us and that somehow justified her shittyness. She hated men because of what happened and I was simply an outlet, when people pointed this out to her I was...

    UHD Blu-ray Rip Playback

    Any recommendations on what I need to play these back? I've got a old i5 2600k with a Quadro P400 that plays back HDR web rips fine but I've heard it's not enough for 75mb bitrates. Looking for a solution that supports Dolby vision and HDR playback full bitrate videos. Would an Apple tv 4k using...

    If you use a private torrent tracker you'll never get a letter. You have to maintain ratio though so I would recommend a seed box. I've used seedhost.eu for years without issue and their 12 month pricing is really good.

    If everyone prepared for a home invasion and it was a common knowledge that home owners were always armed would it dissuade criminals? If anything we should have a movement to arm people to stop crime. It's no different than predators attacking weak prey because they can't hunt if they're...

    Barnes mentioned how this should of been a focus of the trial. Their behaviour showed their intent and there was no doubt they would of killed Kyle if they could have.

    He sodomized five kids and went to jail for it. I don't understand how somebody who does that doesn't end with a life sentence. Dude preyed on the children of single moms he dated.. Kyle did what the courts failed to do because there was no way he wasn't going to reoffend.

    Who's your spirit billionaire?

    Musk just because he's making his money challenging himself and building things. You can hate the guy but you can't say he's resting on his laurels. He goes out there and does shit and he's succeeding while becoming incredibly rich doing it. He's cut from the same cloth that the American elite...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    The very nature of the crafts may negate ever getting clear photos. Plasma might be a part of their propulsion systems so whole its moving it would always be tad bit blurry. Or if it creates a field that bends space time those disturbances would also inhibit clear videos. It's not that...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    At this point what would you need to convince you otherwise? AATIP was 23 million over 5 years and most of it went to infrastructure instead of personnel. I can't imagine the new program being more than 10 million a year, arguably a rounding error in the defense budget. It doesn't strike me as...

    GPU chiplets might make it a reality sooner than you imagine with AMD essentially doubling a 6900xt in a generation. I'm not sure if the scaling is known yet but nothing but the power envelope stopping them from going 4x in a generation by just doing a quad of chiplets.

    32 feet of stairs in low gravity vs an elevator, 100% reusable vs mostly expendable and 1000 cubic meters of space vs a small box. It's really not comparable especially when all those starship flights are going to cost less than a single launch for the national team. You could build an entire...

    I finished up reading Ross Coulthart's book 'In Plain Sight' and it had some interesting tid bits. Ross Coulthart has a lot of connections to military intelligence and he makes very clear in the book what he feels is believable due to multiple confirmations and what he doesn't feel he can say...

    There are exposed meteorites that are pure iron, collect, crush, print. Iron is 0.5% of the surface dust and can be easily separated with magnets and fed directly into 3d additive printers. Laser additive printers would have no issue working in low gravity. Power can be driven by small nuclear...

    lol I love your confidence. You're thinking about having to build everything on the moon when you don't really have to. You could mine iron, refine it and then 3D print the pieces of the ship, just simple body portions (heaviest pieces) and then assemble it together on the moon. The more...

    It makes no sense to me why we invest years figuring out how to build something like James Webb or Hubble then build one and stop. They are over booked and it's near impossible to get time on them and I have to imagine it wouldn't double the cost to build another one or dozens. Then again there...

    Large spaceships won't be manufactured on earth but the moon. Nuclear powered rockets whether they're ion driven or thermal produce enough thrust to get off the lunar surface. I imagine large space tugs being built first allowing something like a starship to preserve its fuel for take...

    https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13095604/ That's the film The Phenomenon and what struck me most about it was the coverage UFOs had in the 40s/50s right up until the 60s by the media. There were periods where metallic flying saucers were on tour across America, being filmed and photographed by...

    This was on the same channel as the interview with the investigative reporter Ross Coulthart.

    What you really need to worry about is that we are quickly approaching a time where lots of money can be made by simply running computations. We're talking medication modelling, material science, simulations, AI etc. The previous results improve the next round and it just keeps going. The longer...

    Bitcoin doesn't use GPUs, it uses specialized Asics designed for high efficiency hashing. Ethereum mining uses GPUs and they've got a plan to remove mining in favor of staking but that's late 2021 at the earliest. Lots of other coins use GPUs so it may not go away entirely but it will certainly...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I was presuming this was a higher resolution than it was and that was my mistake and the article made no mention of it's limitations. Whenever we get a new tool that really changes the paradigm we make big advancements quickly and I was a bit too drunk on the hopium here.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Boo and no I didn't read the underlying paper. Ain't nobody got time fo that. The fact that the science article failed to properly articulate the limitations and I'd have to read the paper is why I hate science reporting and just gave up entirely on phys.org. I don't have the knowledge to know...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    This microscope has the potential to be huge in terms of advancements. A lot of things we know are basically inferred and even biology paper reproduction rates are pretty dog shit right now so this has the potential to clear up tons of misconceptions/bad papers out there. I'd be curious if it's...

    If this was normal times we would of seen a price drop of the 3080 to like 550 and the 3080 ti would of been 699. That would of been more in line with the performance and put pressure on AMD. This should of been a great generation for gamers because AMD and Nvidia both had competitive products...

    Bought a quadro to replace the broken card and threw the 1080 into the toaster oven before I tossed it. Toasting it worked, it's back to normal. Hopefully it will last until GPU prices stop being so retarded. Quadro isn't too bad either so I'm throwing it into my HTPC.

    Chip design doesn't take the smartest people it's the fact that patents lock up most of the technology so nobody can make a competing product. Chip design is like 20 smart people and 400 people trying to come up with a process to ensure the the chip actually does what it's supposed to...

    C'mon it's less believable than Atlantis, it's hurt more realistic.

    You can choose what you turn on or off in that mod pack. I just used the location reveals and the portal cheat. I don't seem to have the cart available to build? Tin and copper is a ridiculous grind. Bah apparently I needed to make nails.
