    Great point, Mist. Got any more amazing comparisons to today's treatment of half a billion women as cattle?

    Yep. It's also a big enough topic that, in my humble opinion, deserves its own thread.

    Nice discussion of witchcraft history there Keg. Got any more good lessons about this critical period of early feminism?

    The Feminism Thread

    Political thread. All of yesterday that thread was half high-value political discussion and half feminist/SJW crap. Which has been true ever since the election.

    I disagree and think everything you believe about feminism and sex is wrong. Please correct my obvious troll bait in this thread.

    I think if we can harvest helium-3 and water from the moon it becomes much more attractive. But before that tech exists I don't see the value in creating and supplying a moon base. And that's something that's on the table for the next 10-20 years.

    Where is the tech at with moon water harvesting? Do we have an idea of how much energy, raw materials and machinery we would need to extract a litre of water from the moon?

    What advantages would the moon base have to offset the disadvantages of having to safely bring mass into a gravity well and then move it out of the gravity well?

    Not as awesome as asteroid mining.

    Unless we get a helium 3 using drive I don't see what a moon base does for us except create a resource sink to maintain.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I never understood why some shoe laces are terrible and untie themselves and some merge into an impenetrable object by the time I untie them at night. I need a cohesion ranking of shoelaces.

    Technologically? No. Politically? Yes. Thing about asteroid mining is that it's most valuable when you mine resources that can be utilized in space. In today's environment one can imagine parking a 10 ton brick of ice outside the ISS and scraping off ice cubes to sell like a cosmic lemonade...

    Trucks are often around 20k lbs, trailers 10k and typical loads are up to 50k. So 80k lbs is typical. So if we're talking about a 25k lbs battery, it'll be much heavier. We'll see what Tesla produces.

    Looking forward to seeing this. I feel like you need enough mileage such that a trucker never has to stop because he's out of juice. Not sure if many truckers drive for the full 11 consecutive hours usually, or it's closer to 4-6. So you might need a truck that can run for 8+ hours before...

    @Tolan is a troll that only ruins threads when @Lithose and @khorum respond to him. @a_skeleton_02 is a harmless wannabe racist who doesn't ruin threads. So if I had to choose, @Tolan.

    State Of Decay 2 - May 22nd Release

    Hard to know the truth without more information. It could be that they wanted a break from open world zombie development and went all in on creating a pokemon RPG or whatever, but the solid developers that worked on SoD1 and made it successful left for better opportunities. (or whatever reason...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    The enchanter nerfs weren't ever rolled back. The class is still pretty good though. You'll do a lot better with war/enc/cle than mage/enc/cle. The mage pet isn't a great tank, and tanks are pretty OP right now. In modern content any 2box or 3box that doesn't include a tank (war/sk/pal) is...

    Musk doesn't deserve worship, but he is thought highly of for good reason. He built two amazing and very different industries that are changing the world. Few people can claim they've built one, much less two. He's BTFO traditional car companies and traditional aerospace companies. You have to...

    Not surprised. I don't want to read into it much but he's probably not effective in his current role. Luckey was tremendously successful, he took advantage of a massive gap between existing technology and what was possible and made a fortune by providing a top-quality product. Even if the other...

    Yeah the savings of the first reuse are kind of irrelevant (though 10% isn't anything to sneer at). I'm sure they'll be doing a bunch of tests on these first few refurbishes that won't be done later, along with improving their refurbishing process. I mean, when your goal is to have a 24 hour...

    I can't help but think that as they keep reusing rockets they'll find a way to make that 10-use per rocket figure become 100 uses and beyond.

    I'll step up to the plate and say I remember saying the idea sounded dumb. I didn't realize how little energy it consumed when the space vehicle had no cargo / fuel.

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    @Morrow I don't know which one is the most active, but the server I'm on, Bristlebane, is fairly active. It has 5 serious raiding forces, one of which is the "casual" force in Ring of Valor that I sometimes raid with. Otherwise it has a bunch of misc other guilds, and the EoK zones usually...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    The no-control-companions thing is so ridiculous. In harder modes in ME3/ME2 the primary thing companions were good for was using their abilities. If I could just solo the game but have three sets of abilities with independent cooldowns it'd be basically equivalent.

    Virtual Reality

    I wouldn't be surprised if resolution in VR explodes beyond 4k per eye, but is driven by upscaled 1080p content. This will diminish if we get foveated rendering.
