    The Fermi Paradox -- Where is everybody?

    My psychiatrist, that I see twice a month and has me on mil-spec psychoactives, tells me only a madman would want to live for for that 70 years or so. Freddie agrees.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    kinda serious question. what the hell is up with the Pats? There are so many safeguards built into how the league works, dynasties are supposed to be extremely hard. My first guess would be coaching and GM. They truly are elite., and they know how to maintain an elite team. Otherwise I am...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    I didn't want to get into too much detail. Let's just say I've had to wrestle through enough grand mal seizures I am not really all that psyched to relive them.

    What always freaks me out is when a player goes into that seizure thing, It happened last season to the Texan's Tom Savage

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    Half the team are rookies? Baker still very young? Coaching still not settled? Browns are where they are: they are gonna put stuff together on shitty teams, and then have trouble with more mature / dominant clubs. This is all according to plan. <slits wrists>

    The Fermi Paradox -- Where is everybody?

    This reminds me of an old thought experiment, if tomorrow everything was ten thousand times current value, internal to the system one could not tell. Not sure if that thought experiment holdsup, but I like it.

    The Fermi Paradox -- Where is everybody?

    Thanks The Beagle. I had not heard that analogy before, it is a very good one. Additionally, you can add energy states to the analogy. IE, why does the bread expand? Because it is ... yeasty.

    The Astronomy Thread

    I always thought gayness was a evolutionary response. But I am simpleminded, as Judy Garland's char in Judgment at Nuremberg so famously declared, NO I am NOT. Who knows. I think the world needs to get a lot more toxic before we see real evolutionary damage. But the tides, they are a-rising...

    As all this space tech come to maturity over the next 30 years, and we have ironed out at least some of the tremendous issues -- physical, engineering, and biological -- that we already know faces a Mars shot, it will be ironic that during that same time frame the Earth will start suffering...

    Pit bulls - The Breed of Peace

    My Silky Terrier, Rufus, which is NOT a breed of peace unless you train it to be conservative with its yapping (which I did take pains to train the little fucker -- I had him down to three yips max) died today. He was 18. He was blind and deaf for the past year but I had my house set up so it...

    Robert Hunter. He was the lyricist behind most Garcia-penned music. I am a sucker for a song. I remember my Mom singing this tune as she was cleaning the house one day. She hated rock n roll. lol. RIP Robert. special bonus Sadre points: I was actually was at this show. Had camped for...

    Brownies getting some momentum.... Mayfield is pretty awesome IMO. Garrett is a menace. They have a fun to watch RB in Chubb. Plus ... they seem to be ... having fun. This is all very unfamiliar to me.

    About the Kraft prostitution thing, I do not think it is that easy to dismiss. Myself, when I am flush with cash after an especially long week at the Cleveland Clinic, I do frequent prostitutes. But I pay for at least what I (hope) is at least a fair wage. I am what you might call a "fair...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    So, if everything is reducible to always being a quanta, then everything can be given a value, even at the smallest scale, and even if the "quanta" becomes a probability rather than a given, still it either is or is not a quantum, which if the latter, we are dealing with non-existence I was...

    Health Problems

    Serious depression ("Is there any other kind?" - Colonel Jessup) exists on a continuum that can include nearly catatonic forms. It makes sense. Depression is like this strange shut down process. You can get so shut down you are almost catatonic, apparently. I would not wish depression on my...

    WTF? Everquest... 3?

    You could argue, eq2 was anti scaling. raids were locked at 24 members, etc. For a few years, while so many were playing WoW, eq2 had some good raiding and raid zones. Scaling just creates more alienation, where players really have no way of understanding each other. The goal is to get players...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    I think the Pats has to boil down to coaching. There is just such a consistency to those bastards. They got talent but, I suspect, simply superior coaching routines. Which makes me worry about the Browns. I am not convinced Countryboy Kitchens is up for the really big games. Watching him even...
