That's a pretty good a summary of events. But really one of the problems with the Greek debacle is the degree to which the leftist European press like the Guardian have chosen this hill to die on. If you only followed the Guardian or Le Monde's coverage, you'd literally have an hourly...

lol

Well if you ask the Greeks themselves, they don't have any doubt theirwives and daughters will be auctioned off by the forelocks.

The guy posted his six points on why Greeks should vote NO to the bailout. He neglects to mention that the debt had been previously restructured and the creditors have taken multiple haircuts over the years. But really his biggest reasoning was: So yeah. That's their chief economic authority...

Wellp, it's a hard sale that's for sure. Polls show most mexican immigrants are actually sympathetic to the hard-work, no handouts ethic. But that's a derail so that's that.

Yeah, fucking republicans. They should totally have like, latino candidates by now. Or two. Or women politicians. If they were serious they'd elect republican women governors. Maybe even republicanLATINA women governors.

That's why they're insisting on staying in the EU (and why the north europeans want them out). Those open borders guarantee an explosion of Greek immigration in Berlin and Brussels in the very near future! Fuck getting your money out of Greek banks,even Bulgarians aren't having trouble...

It kinda looked that way. Was queued at 5:49 remaining before I went for a run, was back to 5:55 when I got back. Doesn't look like it's happening. Prolly for the best tho. I'd get spoiled on that 2000% leg drop buff and it looks like we should be farming mats in live anyway.

Doesn't look like the difficulty component has changed much has it? Is there a benefit to doing bounty runs on t10 vs t1? I know they buffed torment+ caches at some point tho.

Did you play with the "upgrade rare to legendary" thing much? Is it a viable "targetted-upgrade" thing vs. kadala?

Is there a stream of someone actually in the PTR playing with the legendary effects cube recipes?

NASA has a bunch of drive systems in competitive testing that are plenty feasible. Most of them are brute-force applications of existing off-the-shelf ideas---and if NASA had a motto nowadays, it would be "Off-the-shelf". Basically it doesn't matter how nifty a given idea is, if it's more...

Put those bums out on the exchange.

6 hour queue nm

Yeah downloading the PTR client now. Is the helltooth change retroactive or would i need to farm a new set?

Extracting legendary powers sounds fucking nuts. So i can have the SMK's effect on my WD while using a furnace?

LOL I don't know why people need to oversimplify Greece's dysfunctions when they're so well-known and the Greeks don't bother denying them anyway. The Greeks are notoriously leftist. Syriza is a legit stalinist party that's way left of their usual socialist party (PASOK). That said, that...

On the near-term it's because the January elections spooked the Troika with Syriza reflecting a sort of bad faith from the Greek electorate. Note that Greece's creditors have shown plenty of flexibility. The last round of haircuts was around 54% and they've even restructured the debt so Greece...

Well if they go back to the drachma it'll be like Tijuana but with fat chicks

Tourism and shipping. Something like 85% of their economy is services with 15% manufacturing. Thing is if the referendum leads to more civil unrest like when the socialists rioted for five days and burned chunks of Athens, then their tourism industry will go to shit like it did last year...

Ok furry is voicing a fairly common opinion amongst aerospace ppl but they overlook the entire reason for spacex's reusability project. The reason spacex's dragon booster and its entire infrastructure is reusable is because spacex's wants to get to a place where they are doing 5 launches a...

No. That was Spain.

We'll need a NO-PUSSY thread, an aired-spoilers-only thread and the full-on bigdick R+L=Greece thread that everyone really reads anyway.

Germany leaving the EU isn't a net negative outcome for Germany. It's a disastrous outcome for the EU.

There's like a whole backstory to Immortan Joe and the Bullet Farmer and the People Eater (the gastown gang leader). They were the commanders of a regiment during the last water wars. Immortan Joe was Colonel Joe Moore and the Bullet Farmer was major Kalashnikov etc. Apparently Joe Miller...

Yep, the Greeks have to choose to leave, there isn't a structured way for Brussels to kick them out. And recent polling shows around 80% of Greeks wanting to stay in the EU. Unfortunately those same Greeks also voted for Syriza. So the closest thing the EU can really do is make it as...

Casting director. They're the ones with "C.S.A." at the end of their names at the credits of each movie. Like: Nina Gold, C.S.A. The union contract REQUIRES that 'c.s.a.' for members of the Casting Association of America lol. When you see "ACE" that's an accredited union editor. Like John...

Syriza is campaigning to stay in the EU but Greek banks are saying otherwise. Syriza wouldn't want to preside over the Greek secession since once the EU isn't around to catch all the blame, the Greeks might actually realize who they voted for. The Troika has exhausted all the haircuts its...

Yeah, the quantum locking principle is very exciting. Theoretically it should work just using the earth's magnetic field but they use magnets for demonstration. Unlike magnetic repulsion it lets the hoverboard bank/pitch and even roll and the energy onboard would be used to keep the...

I love that spacex actually makes several mods for Kerbal Space Program. Though you COULD actually try to make a reusable booster stage in the stock game somehow. I've no idea HOW but considering people made robotech veritech fighters in KSP I wouldn't be shocked. Anyways, they actually...

The Hendo was a straight electromagnetic hoverboard afaik. But yeah the Lexus board uses a magnetic surface too, but like that quantum locking video shows it can tilt and it would stay tilted unless the user reoriented it. Lexus made the board just to help promote their SLIDE project, they're...

So Lexus showed off their hoverboard in that viral video: It's actually a pet project to promote a their SLIDE development team. But it actually uses something called "Quantum Locking", which uses superconductors to lock things in space via the meissner field. The video is a few years...

The Russians are in a precarious financial position themselves. Unless oil prices spike up soon they'll have to pull back on defense and infrastructure spend this year. As for the Chinese there's their age-old regional economic detente with the West: they don't ingratiate themselves in...

Up's opening was definitely great but the whole movie was wrapped up by that last scene when Carl discovers that Ellie left him a final message in her scrapbook before she died: That one sneaks up on you.

They refuse to sell sovereign territory actually. I'm not sure if that's against the Lisbon Treaty or it's a case of nationalism. It's prolly both. But yeah, they could sell an island as a sovereign purchase (IE: permanently) to Apple or Google or some conglomerate for 20 billion or...

Yeah at least he admits he fucked up Elysium.Anyways it looks like he's still on for Alien 5.But there might be some turbulence:

Out of curiousity what outcome would you LIKE to see for Greece? If they stay in, there's no way they can mortgage their entire economy to dig out of their debt. If they default they'll have a nightmare decade but they'll come out of it with their own currency and a means to be a competitive...

It's possible the Greeks vote to accept the troikas terms. Unlikely considering their recent voting record, but it's possible. Syriza and their coalition seem to be campaigning against it. So basically this referendum is whether Greece wakes up to reality or leaves the EU and eventually get...

Just airing right now? Not really a lot tbh. Halt and Catch Fire Hannibal Mr. Robot Masterchef Australia Masterchef Australia is the weaker of the two Australian cooking shows. "My Kitchen Rules" is off-season and is more entertaining but MC Australia has world-class chefs (Rene...

Charon's eccentric orbit caught from new horizons still a couple weeks away. Muh hype. Good time to blast some dulcet Carl Sagan tones.
