Full nerdy analysis. I have no idea what most of it means, but fascinating.

Watched a bit, it is creationist. I don't disagree with some of their ideas, but my own guess stretches the time line out alot more.

I had my doubts about this little 35 dollar potato, but it plays vids off a file server amazingly well. I'm using a premade image called LibreElec that already has all the drivers and kodi set up. The RCA remote I bought wasn't recognized but I manually made a mapping for it, which was very...

This is a good vid on Oumuamua

I bought a new heatsink/fan and then discovered that the retaining bracket thing was also broken. Anyway, I was using my crappy little netbook to burn a mini sd card for a la potato (le? la?) little computer I got and I couldn't get anything to work because the disc was full. I had screwed up...

Tenchi has to be like 40 by now :emoji_laughing:

All my crap arrived yesterday. I've been too busy watching world cup to get anything going yet, but the la potato has some prebuilt linux images. I'm going to try one of those in a bit. I've also gotta figure out where to plug the fan in. There's lots of pinx piny info out there but nobody...

Yea it is super old. I do have a core2quad somewhere too. I don't even really have a use for this machine just decided to get it working. A stretched out paperclip is holding it for now.

I resurrected an old socket 478 p4 board last week, and the cpu cooler had broken. The little clip that clipped to the cooler itself, so I ordered another. Now that I have it I see that the actual retention bracket on the board is broken too :emoji_laughing: These things all seem to be...

USA vs Canada in 10ish minutes:

I think it might favour images used in training that were tagged that way. We've observed and discussed some real oddities with that in this thread such as backpacks.

The world cup is on and I'm dying trying to watch it all. It has been all europe + asia so far but north america starts in an hour or so. I've gotten very little sleep. Lots of old familiar faces in some of the countries. Onigod has been killing it for Norway, Logix for Spain, Oputo on...

Office space and employees in cali. Probably lots of dead weight marketing / hr / etc.

Hmm the pure realistic model I used was Ares I think. I'm usually doing fantasy stuff so I'll mix in a weeby model as well for my stuff. Just looking at my dir I guess I mainly use Chillout, Meina, there's one here called Henmixreal but I don't remember using it. I think I might have...

I'm no expert on carbon, but I know F1 parts are put together with a weave that is strong from a particular direction. Suspension parts for instance don't do well with hits from the side as they are strong in the vertical direction. I wonder if it was extruded vertically or if it was a joined...

This game has great sound

I've read scifi novels where they stack a few miles thick of ice on the front, and make the ship shaped like a needle, but It will be fascinating to see how it all shakes out in the future. There's math you can do to predict the energy released by striking hydrogen atoms and such. Lots of...

I think inpainting hands and running several iterations is the way to go, but I haven't had much luck with it.

Not even sure how this popped up in my recommended, but it is all really good:

So I have this old serverish box that hadn't been on for years. I think I built it in the mid 2000's and it had a 4 drive raid5 array with 250 gig ide drives. Last week I decided to get it over onto one of my newer drives with snapraid for parity. The C drive was failing and one of the raid...

Found a couple old screenshots while rescuing data off an old server. This is afterlife folk fighting the balrog boss. Barely remember this. From January 2008:

Almost looks like a serpent hilt. WANT Maybe they will do some kind of scan of it so people can make replicas.

I'm thinking a USB tuner is going to be needed. The slow channel changes on the tv's built in tuner are super annoying. I'm thinking I can do a usb tuner with nextPVR plugged into Kodi, then an addon for discovery +. Maybe with that pi-like I linked earlier running debian or something. Then...

It is crazy to run a company from cali. Cost of living, taxes, insane laws. Game companies also are so butts-in-chairs focused and over managed. The one upside is that all the good people are driven into going indie, so lots of good indie games :emoji_shrug:

I knew about that asteroid but I didn't know it was 140 miles across, wow!

I've been developing a myth system for an rpg I'm working on and I'm thinking of going with the Anunnaki space faring gold greed approach :D Maybe gold is really rare in the galaxy?

It worked! Thanks so much everyone for all the suggestions. The 30 dollar antenna I got is cheap and flimsy and way smaller than I expected, but I slapped it up on the same pole my wireless internet is on, and just kind of left it hanging there halfass pointed in the right direction, and...

I don't know if this is fan or blizz made but I love this. It's like an anime intro for the tournament this weekend:

Wasn't really murder. The king asked him to step outside for a fight, then punched him in the face so hard he later died. :emoji_laughing:

I saw a twitch streamer playing some heavily modded Freelancer the other day. Crazy people are still playing it. I do still have some of my old source from my time working there, but it is several years before freelancer was released, and only some of the library team tools (petal and rose...

Mars doesn't have plate subduction though so stuff might just be under the sand. For earth I think there's only one plate that doesn't recycle, the one australia is on maybe? Plate is on permanent smoko.

The ship building is kinda lame, but I expected the snap together piece way. They have alot of environ artists trained on that as they've built maps snap-together style since morrowind. I do love building mine block by block in Empyrion. However the insides will look way nicer because an...

TT was great this year. I really thought they were going to go without any losses but a spanish rider died in one of the supertwin races. More records would have tumbled but Hickman had an off day with clutch problems on one of the superbike races, so Dunlop didn't need to risk. Pretty sure...

Same. Obnoxious, loud. The one with the terrible horn music ... wtf are they even advertising?

I'll give it a go. Will order it today. Need to string cat6 to that side of the house for the discovery+. I was thinking of one of these little things for the discovery+... Apparently the tv will do the digital tuning so no need for a converter box \o/

My biggest worry now is trees. There's a whole town worth of trees in the direction I need.

Ok looking at that, I don't even think I need omnidirectional. There are a dozen channels within 15 miles of here all in the same direction.

Wow this one is way better than the DTV gov one. Cool! Lists all the little stations around me. Most I didn't even know existed.
