It would be a super long project. The fastest object man has ever made (the Juno spacecraft) travelled 165,000 miles per hour (45 miles per second) as it was pulled into orbit of Jupiter. The nearest stars are ~4 light-years away which would take damn near 16,000 years for us just to reach at...

From https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1405/1405.1025.pdf "...Life, if it manages to struggle along on such a planet, will be very hard or perhaps be underground. More likely a circular belt between the two sides - a sort of “twilight zone” - could be the...

Ah, that is a good point!

Assuming the density of this planet is about the same as our own would put it's radius at ~6920 km. The star is 12% of the sun's mass at 7.5 million km. The calculated tidal force proportionally compared to our own would only be a tad over 600x stronger. Surf's up!

That's actually pretty awesome. Cool to at least present options if something fucks up while riding a controlled explosion into space.

Well, it would be roughly 150,000* Megatons worth of energy (the Tsar Bomba was 50 Megatons). It would no doubt by an ELE and a bad day...preferable to be incinerated at ground zero (before it ever reaches the ground no less) than hang around for all the ejecta and nastiness afterwords...

The wife turned me onto these fine point pens and after using them a bit, I must say they are pretty badass. https://www.amazon.com/Moma-Muji-Point-0-38-mm-Black/dp/B00E391XXM

I should have clarified. I plan to buy when the market hits 12k. The idea would be to buy them "on sale". I specifically chose HOG because it gets slaughtered. It also saw a 9x growth after the last recession.

The technical indicators look sound to me (although I am admittedly pretty amateur). You're 5th requirement of having a dividend is key to my latest investment strategy. I'm looking to be contrarian and want the world to burn, so I've reallocated my assets to be 65/35 short-term vs. domestic...

Bleh, failing at attaching images...sorry for the dupe! Just trying to make this thread great again!

Mass of the ship is a big variable, and will be a function of the (dynamic) fuel source.

^ a bit of a derail, but this is actually something I have thought about when it comes to efforts like that of SETI. Why look at a large path of the sky? Why not focus on this small subset of stars that are actually in our galactic backyard. I would logically conclude that if there were an...

Or breed a stable full of machine-gun Johnny porn stars to finance his twilight years.

Not sure about guides (seems like no one has a definitive guide for this game, you may find some stuff pieced together here and there). The biggest advantage of connecting nodes is the increased drop rates you get when fighting in the area. You'll see a buff by your energy/contribution bars...

Labyrinth Willow Alien A Nightmare on Elm Street The Exorcist Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) C.H.U.D. (so terrible, but so awesome) Night of the Living Dead (1968) Secret of NIMH Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan (Motion Picture is good, but Khan was awesome) The Toy Child's Play...

Intox and Angerz summed it up well. Not your typical horror fare, but I enjoyed it. The end is really the only scary part (and it's more psychological / creepy than in-your-face scary). Well-made film, not for a casual audience.

Saw a link today where archive.org has added something like 2,500 old MS-DOS games. Have some pretty great titles too. Figured I'd post a link if anyone was interested. Full screen on the emulator seems pretty legit although I haven't had time to delve too deep...

Yup, liked a lot of his mixes as well.

Throwback...Saturday!? Florida Breaks. I'll always have a soft-spot for them. So many good memories!

Yes Spawn! I was so into the comics at the time it was inconceivable that it could be so terrible. Got up and walked out...only movie I've ever done this to.

Saw this guy a bit back (also noted he was posted a few pages ago!). One of my favorite parts of his show is he takes random shit from the audience and makes a freestyle with the rules it has to be original. This was one of his better ones IMO.

Yeah, the movie was filmed for $2 million and has already made it back with only a limited release (think they just expanded to 1,200 theaters this week). While making money is for sure important, the movie itself is pretty artsy so mass-appeal will lag critics IMO and gauging the investment...

When you rub more than two brain cells together you'd see there was a lot more to that movie than a little kid screaming. It was actually a pretty clever story about grief and anger. But if you were expecting mindless horror I can see how you'd not like it.

Comes out late February and has been getting some decent press (supposedly similar in quality to the Babadook which I thought was solid). Looking forward to it!

I enjoyed the movie well enough and agree a B (or even a B+) is a fair assessment. It was better than the first for sure, worth the price of admission for what it was.

PVE: Lots of good memories here. First time killing AoW and Rallos in EQ. In WoW, Molten Core / BWL, Black Temple (Illidan and Council stood out) were definitely fun, but the big rushes came out in WoTLK for me. 10-man 3-Drakes was awesome and as others have said Ulduar with the difficulty...

Yeah, that should have created quite a mess, but it was a cool scene. For the argument about whether Alien or Aliens is a better movie, as it relates to the OP, it really doesn't matter. This is about the best sequel ever, not the best sequel vs. source film. If it were the latter I would...

^ The movie was a solid 6/10. I was hoping for a little more, but it's still worth a watch if you're bored. Once.

The Devil's Rock is one I hadn't seen mentioned yet. It's actually really good. Certainly worth a watch.

Yes and No. There were (generally) resurrections available that gave back 96% of your experience lost. The 4% you did lose would add up though and it wasn't exactly a trivial grind to make it back up after dying a bit. Aside from bleeding edge content, which was notoriously broken/over-tuned...

One area that EQ did a fair job at (at least for the first several expansions) and to a lesser degree even WoW pulled off was spreading out the casual and elite. What I mean by this is if you were hardcore, you had content to master (control?) and played a different game than the casual gamer...

IMDB Nightmare at 7.5 Shining at 8.5 They're definitely in the same ballpark. Personally, I think the Shining was Kubrick's take on King's novel that, while interesting, didn't live up to the novel. Nightmare on the other hand (the original, not the sequels which I concur were less than...

A few suggestions. His Dark Materials by Phillip Pullman (supposedly kids books, definitely some mature subject matter...quick reads) Ghost Story by Peter Straub Ready Player One by Ernest Cline (if you game this is pretty much a given...quick read) The Exorcist by Peter Blatty (less like...

The Shrine was a pleasant surprise and + for Absentia mentioned above as well (it was slow at parts, but the concept was fresh).

My favorite genre so I may as well chime in. Not ordered, but the ratings are how I feel the movie scores (not compared to Oscar caliber films necessarily, but so far as good horror goes). There are lots of others out there and I'm sure I'm forgetting some great films, but you can't go TOO...
