Melvin is right, I was talking about signal degradation, which I thought i was pretty clear about. I'm not talking about L in the Drake equation at all, only you are. I'm saying even if photons from a radio signal emanating from an alien planet are hitting earth right now, there's some range...

Its the detection part. Not sure we have a good idea about what it'd really take to be able to detect radio signals at this distance. When we try to run fourier analysis on radio signals from an interstellar body, at this distance and considering how power drops at a rate of 1/d^2, are the...

Except we don't know how reasonable the Drake equation is, or whether the Fermi "paradox" really has to be a paradox. There could be many reasons why alien civilizations would not want to be seen or haven't been. You seem pretty sure that we'd be fucked due to some theories based on our...

5.5/10 Some of the visuals are awesome, but as somebody said above there's a lot of pointless plot in this. Also a lot of plot that I think doesn't make much sense. I can appreciate the point they were making, but I feel like they could have cut out some of the useless plot points to enhance...

After The Force Awakens I thought that if Rey was a clone of Anakin it would explain a lot of things. Palpatine coming back in some form maybe opens up that possibility again. That could save this S*&tshow for me, maybe...

I love how the dude standing behind him doesn't try to help soften the fall at all, in fact moves further away, allowing that slow roll into a straight up head plant. What a pal. Are we in pre-alpha 8 yet?

Gotta keep Blue Origin in the mix because this is going to be a long journey, and long term that company has better odds of staying afloat due to Bezos' money bin size. Great to have competition for SpaceX.

I don't like it, but they were pretty short on options here. Once Durant was heading to Brooklyn S&T was about the only way to add a decent sized contract. DLO kind of became the player they'd get by default. Klay is going to be out for much of the season, so he and Curry could play together...

What are the right goals? Does this fit somewhere in with the right goals? Why will bitcoin not be threatened by new coins? You don't know this for a fact. There's nothing that has to be unique about it except that it was first. Maybe that's enough, but you can't be sure.

Dropped $1750 in 15 minutes? Lol

Probably gone, but he was going to opt out regardless of whether he stays or not so this isn't news. Opting in would be a terrible decision after that injury when he knows that there are teams out there today that will give him a 4 year max. If he stays he can get a 5-year max that nobody else...

Read the rest and comment or shut up.

Let me explain what I meant.. firstly, I'm obviously only talking about offense. Secondly, I'm talking about his ability to create runs for his team in a way that nobody has ever been able to before. Yes, there have been many guys in the past you'd rather give the ball to for a bucket. Durant...

I'd take this year's team at full health against any team in NBA history. Any team. Assuming today's rules. They were just never really fully healthy all year. Iggy and Green missed a lot of key free throws too in this one, Iggy was 1 for 5, Green just 0 for 2 but anytime you miss back to...

Fucking refs did everything they could to help Toronto get across the finish line and it wasn't enough. Hearts of champs.

Binged this over the weekend and finished tonight. The word a couple others here used that I'd most agree with to describe it is sobering. Fantastic series, but wow its sobering how close this came to destroying a sizeable chunk of Europe. Yeah I was amazed a couple of the divers are still...

Warriors didn't play that well and still scored 109 (although that was bolstered by a lot of free throws.) Giving up 118 to the Raptors is the bigger concern from yesterday. Double teamed when not needed, left too many shooters open, had little help presence in the paint when guys penetrated...

Stop doubling Kawhi please, and play Bogut over Boogie. Boogie had a couple nice passes but gives zero lane presence on D, need that more.

The only reason I'm not more angry about this is that Endgame delivered pretty well. We had two chances to get epic endings in the same month, one of those chances hit so it appeased me to some extent. But yeah, have to agree with that all. Its on par with The Last Jedi on the disappointment...

Stun opponents with her hotness? Yeah, its funny how in the top picture she's like full on running near the front like she's going to do something. Saw this for a 3rd time. I don't think its too long, didn't get bored or anything on the 3rd watch. I could have done without the comedy bit...

I picture Bran as going more towards God Emperor of Westeros than Dr. Strange. He'll live for a 1000 years as he becomes one with a Weirwood in King's Landing while getting rid of winter forever by carefully sculpting the future. The North will eventually rebel, and to get their precious...

Did the Unsullied and Dothraki get rezzed after the battle with the dead? I mean it seemed very much like they were decimated from that battle, but come episodes 5 and 6 they were seemingly thousands strong again... Especially the Dothraki. We seem them all charge into the army of the dead at...

Finals start May 30th regardless, so they definitely want to close it out asap.

6 years a more realistic timeframe. They'll still be a lottery team for the next 2-3.

Bucks could be where the Warriors were in 2015. Had some very talented young players including an MVP candidate, then replaced a poor coach with a good one and suddenly they're a 60 win team. Legit. Went nuts watching that game yesterday. Watching the Splash brothers eliminate the Flop...

Fingers crossed for a grade 1 calf strain. Grade 2 or worse and he's probably done for the playoffs outside of a Willis Reed type return to a game or two of the finals if they make it that far.

That have Howitzer-like range lol. What a shitshow this has become.

Its called Pop n Flop.

Wait, you're suggesting that they don't play that way every game? The Flop Brothers?

No kidding. I said the same thing after, wtf did she yell? She's the ultimate rogue, why charge at him like a berserker? Arya killing him was kind of cool, as far as seeing fan fiction come to life goes, but they could have made the kill SOOO much better and more satisfying. They completely...

Its not just that. I'm sure all the KD drama has taken its toll as well and they are less a team for it. There's this expectation that KD is gone but they'll definitely win another title before it happens anyways, not so easy.

Ball wasn't a bad #2 pick and the Lakers really didn't have any hope to trade for AD during the season because NO will have more offers this offseason.

What did Magic do to destroy that team? He took over the shitshow I think a year after they had already signed Deng and Mozgov to those horrid contracts. They obviously made the no brainer move to bring Lebron over given the chance, and it was also the correct move to not sign any 3rd or 4th...

Looks like I'll get to play around the start of 2020...

They never said the snap only works in our galaxy. Closest galaxy (Andromeda) is 2.5 million light years away.

Have held strong to boycotting Civ 6 purchase. But on the subject of Civ's not being good until expansions, ehh. 1 and 2 were instant classics out of the box on day 1. Sid Meier would have never released the crap that these guys are allowed to release with. Debatable how much of that is due...

BP wasn't that good so i hope this is better than that at least.

Mostly just watch college hoops to see the top draft prospects now, or if my team happens to not suck. But overall college hoops just aren't that good in comparison. I'd rather watch mediocre NBA games over all but the top college hoops matchups with top prospects. NCAA would be so much more...

Keep with it. I tried starting this show a couple times and couldn't get into it, but once it really gets going its very good. Just a slow start.

Its what the NBA has become but it doesn't mean small market teams can't succeed. The Pelicans are in the same boat as MOST other NBA teams period, not just small market teams, they are not the minority. Most teams have to do well in the draft in order to succeed. Not just in a single year...
