    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Thanks for all the links guys, I really appreciate it. I'm going to give it one last shot and link a bunch of shit, but I agree that they will never change their minds. I know this going in, just as I also know that nothing they show me will ever change my mind either. Don't get me wrong, I...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    This might not really be appropriate in this thread, but I didn't know where else to put it, and it sort of made sense to me since, well, science! Anyway, I need your help Rerolled! I work with a couple of massive conspiracy theorists. They are friends of mine for the most part, even...

    Brooklyn Nine-Nine

    Watched it tonight and really enjoyed it. For those of you that value my opinion more highly than Grimmlokk's, you are now free to watch this program. I kid, I kid! Seriously though, I was worried the same thing about Samberg, but he did a good job, and the new Captain was perfect in the...

    MMA Thread

    I finally got caught up with TUF, and came here to post my outrage on the internet, but I see that Grimmlokk has once again accurately summarized my viewpoint. I fucking hate Rousey, and I *might* just want her stereotypical Russian thug coach/boyfriend/whatever he is to get his ass beat more...

    Aarklash Legacy

    I did not know that, thanks for the tip! Probably won't get to play it until tomorrow or later in the weekend, but I'm anxious to get new characters and skills more than almost any other game I've played in awhile. I obviously am not finished, but I can't help but wish I could have started a...

    Whatbox seems to have arbitrarily changed my directories from something like "mnt\sdh\username" to "home\username" which fucked up all my RSS feeds, dropbox auto-downloads, ftp transfers, etc. Once I figured it out it was easy enough to fix, but for awhile there I had no fucking clue what was...

    Minecraft

    Holy fuck FTB needs to release a 1.6.2 version soon (with XyCraft). I'm watching Direwolf's Forgecraft2 videos every day, and I'm dying to play. They've got so much awesome shit, with both Thaumcraft and Ars Magica, Tinker's, Applied Energistics, Morph, etc...all of which I've never played, or...

    Aarklash Legacy

    I'm absolutely loving this game, but what gets me the most is that they clearly saved costs by having an intro that is nothing more than a grey screen and some words, and cut scenes that are nothing but the actual game just kind of recorded, for lack of a better term. Now, I love a great intro...

    I demand equality! Where is my poster of the hot bitches on this show without shirts on? Laurel, Huntress, Speedy, and Shiva would work for me.

    Twice the hate! Walking Dead Spinoff a go

    Or your coworkers. Jesus, not counting the conspiracy theorists that make me want to eat a bullet, I've got all the people that talk about how fantastic Walking Dead and Dexter are, and since I watch it they assume that I think it is awesome television too. I get that same exact look you...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    The VASIMIR is definitely an interesting concept and I hope it (and pretty much anything space related, really) gets the attention it deserves. If a 39 day Mars trip is really possible with something like that, then obviously we're talking about a significant change in the way we view space...

    This Is The End

    Was mildly entertained, but that's about it. Glad I didn't see it in theaters. This was the best I've seen Michael Cera act in the last several years though, so there's that.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    As I mentioned in my post, I basically said a lot of "I don't know," but it isn't as simple as saying that you get to constantly accelerate until you pass Voyager unless you know for a fact that you can carry enough fuel onboard to do it, because eventually you run out of the fuel you brought...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    It has been years since I got my degree, but we worked up a bunch of different ideas for such a problem in one of our classes. It wasn't Voyager specific, but same concept. If you go on the assumption that everything will start at the same speed through a gravity "slingshot" or detachable...

    Well, I don't play first person shooters, DOTA-types, or Starcraft and such, so I can't really say how well it responds in those situations, but I've been playing Borderlands 2 with a friend each weekend and I haven't had a problem that I've noticed. However, I should mention that I live in...

    The Girls Who Broke Your Heart Thread

    Can't really decide if it is Rita or not. I also can't remember if she got her new tits before she left Dexter or not, because those definitely aren't her current tits. If it isn't her, I have no idea who it could be, even from the current season. I suppose if they wanted to be really...

    Yes. I use Private Internet Access (the company name), and when you are connected to it, ALL of your internet traffic can be routed through it. There are even settings for things which (from what I understand) typically aren't routed through a VPN, including things like Google searches and...

    I've actually come to prefer the gigantic asian subtitles on "early" releases like those, at least as opposed to other languages. Obviously I'd prefer no subtitles, but if I have to have some, I'll take ones that I have absolutely no chance of ever reading. Even something like russian makes me...

    I downloaded them but forgot to listen to them last night. I spent most of my evening figuring out that the reason I was having stuttering on a couple of movies I had downloaded (acting the same way that the bluray ISO I had downloaded was acting, which I contributed to it being an ISO), when...

    Spatial Ability

    9/9 here as well, but I've always been good at those. 6 was definitely the one that took the longest for me. My strategy is much like others I'm sure, but I essentially took something like this approach. I'd look at a center block on the first one and fold 2 or 3 blocks down around it, see...

    Choose Your Own Avengers

    Come on man! The clear best team consists of: 1) Michael Knight (Knight Rider) 2) Stringfellow Hawke (Airwolf) 3) Officer Frank Poncharello (CHiPs) 4) Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane (The Dukes of Hazzard) 5) B.A. Baracus (The A-Team)

    Some worthwhile series

    Some of us don't mind his politics! To be honest though, in the scope of the book and what the people in it have supposedly been through, it is sort of realistic for his characters to adhere to his beliefs about guns. Hell, I wouldn't take a shower without a gun strapped to me somewhere...

    Big Picasso's thread or BPT for short.

    If you were to fix her teeth (they look fine to me, and yes I read where you were sort of fucking around, but you did bring it up so you've at least thought about it), you'd probably end up nitpicking something else, so you might as well just leave her teeth alone.

    Last time I tried a program like that, the audio ended up getting horribly out of sync. I'm assuming that isn't a noticeable problem with this?

    Some worthwhile series

    I love the shit out of Monster Hunter International, as I mentioned in that thread he linked most likely. As Grimmlokk mentioned, it isn't really like Dresden at all, but I fucking love it. It isn't for everyone, but if you like the first one you'll love the rest. I cannot wait for the next...

    Aside from the aforementioned huge upload credit you can get with it via freeleech (I have 1TB down and 8TB up on IPT, and 40,000 bonus points), I do as well. I like my porn ready at a moment's notice, not waiting for it to buffer when I try to click ahead to the good parts, or find the...

    Ok thanks. I caught that about the video bitrate probably as you were posting, but I appreciate the explanation to let me know if I actually need it. Which I have the feeling I don't. I cannot really see myself ever having something bigger than say an 80" TV in the next 10 years (doubtful I'd...

    Ok, I was sort of leaning towards DTS anyway. Interesting that those DD5.1 files are so much bigger. Here are the technical specs for a 1080p rip of Spider-Man 2002 which comes to a file size of just over 20GB: For comparison, here's an 11GB rip of World War Z in DTS-ES, whatever that is...

    Question for people that know more about this than I do. I've decided that since I pretty much replaced my entire book, music, and comic collection with digital versions of everything I own, I wouldn't mind doing the same with my old DVD collection. Typically I download everything in 720p...

    DIY Home Security

    If it were me, I'd buy a nice bump-proof deadbolt if I had the option. Living in an apartment, I don't, but if I had a home I would. I work at a company that sells commercial door hardware, and a guy I used to work with could bump a lock in 5-10 seconds max. I can't do it, but he could, so...

    That's what I do at home, and at work where I'm the closest thing to a "computer expert" they have, but I know a LOT of companies would never let you install something like Keepass, let alone Dropbox where you could theoretically "steal company sekretz" just by dropping it in there. Obviously...

    Business Ethics - Companies that you refuse to do business with

    I don't avoid any due to ethics or hippie save the earth reasons either. If Wal-Mart has the cheapest price, I'm getting it from fucking Wal-Mart. However, I'm also lazy as fuck, so chances are that I will just sit here at work and search for it on Amazon, and if the price looks ok I'll just...

    I'm not a huge fan of Glau (I don't hate her, and I'd certainly let her get crumbs in the bed), but I'd say the biggest reason she's a "curse" is because she is almost exclusively cast in sci-fi series. How long have ANY of those ever lasted? Aside from X-Files, which wasn't really sci-fi like...

    Dredd 2 (2026 Confirmed!)

    I don't mind if you, and others, don't like the movie, but as Big Phoenix and others said, it is its simplicity that sets it above most of those other generic action movies you talk about. Nothing anyone says will change your mind so I'm not going to even attempt it, but the very thing you are...
