    Interesting thread on the DC-Baltimore Boring loop. Obviously a two lane highway sunken into the ground that services 2k cars a day doesn't make that much economic sense, but it'll be a great proof of concept that could scale up in the future if it goes through.

    Running

    Read the first few chapters and did some of the exercises in the book. Did a run last night following some of the advice in the book that specifically talks about running form, standing tall, engaging glutes/hips etc and had a much improved running experience. It's funny because there's nothing...

    Jedi Fallen Order (By Respawn Entertainment)

    Just preordered five copies that I might re-sale if they run out of pre-ordered copies. jk based entirely on that trailer they're going the QTE-heavy jedi-light route and not the puzzle-shooter-holy-shit-i-feel-like-an-actual jedi Jedi Knight route. Even the story element seemed lame. You...

    A few months old but I had never seen it. I'm really surprised the speed at which the fairing descends is so low and the speed parallel to the ground is so high. I wonder if the job of captaining that ship is the most fun sea-captaining job of all time. You're basically pulling off a Jack...

    Oh and after looking through running books I bought this one: Runner's World Your Best Stride: How to Optimize Your Natural Running Form to Run Easier, Farther, and Faster--With Fewer Injuries I looked into Running Revolution but felt that a more fundamental book vs one that teaches a...

    As an update I did the above stuff I said was doing this week and my "runners knee" symptoms have almost entirely cleared. I also developed an increasing level of lower back pain just above the hip. I've been ignoring it until this morning where I did some research and think it's related to...

    SLS is never going to do anything useful because it's going to get delayed until it is shit canned. I think i have an avatar bet with someone saying so. Maybe @LachiusTZ ? I agree with your point about it being the kind of egregious fuckery that will motivate congress to stop treating nasa as...

    What's annoying is that as far as I can tell there's not much information about what she's done. But I haven't really looked into it. I couldn't find any publications that she's the primary author in and yeah, her commits to the codebase have been miniscule. It really does look like a case of...

    The Beresheet moon lander took this right before impact: Interesting that they're talking about it being the IMU's fault. IMUs are generally very reliable and proven unlike most tech on space stuff.

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    I don't know about playable, but it seems like in February 2019 they added the persistent universe, which to me was the minimum threshold to have a "playable game". I've always thought that when they added a basic game that allowed you to play the game, earn wealth and spend that wealth on...

    Anything but instantaneous measurement of visible light on light sensitive silver hallide crystals isn't really a picture. Everything above that, including the ccd/cmos/whatever in your phone, does something not fundamentally different from what these nerds did.

    I still think they're a bunch of overpaid nerds who pointed a telescope at nature's butthole and then tweaked the data until it looked like a fuzzy version of what everyone assumed it would.

    I know it's draconian of me but when I see the effort that went into taking a picture of nature's butthole I can't help but wonder what benefit that provides besides sating our curiosity.

    Everquest - Selos Server - 20th Anniversary Casual Server

    Quoting this post in this thread instead of trashing the AMA one with discussion. I don't play on TLP servers. What would you guys think of a TLP server that banned VPNs and only allowed two characters per IP address? (I don't even know if such a thing is possible).

    Everquest AMA with Holly Windstalker

    Are there any plans to increase the operating budget of EQ, or is management's plan to continue to slowly reduce its size from its current "4.5 artists, 5.3 designers, and 5.7 programmers" despite "the fact that the EverQuest team has been continually begging management for 2 additional content...

    Running

    So I'm a novice runner and started running last week (getting nicer out). Last week I did three "runs" that are more jog-walking of distances of 1km, 6km, and 3km. An hour after my 3km excursion my right knee developed a moderate swollen feeling underneath the knee cap. It's not painful, but is...

    What's dumb about the above post is that even a journeyman kickboxer would be able to tell from a single roundhouse kick that someone isnt fucking around. I wonder if the dudes coach thought he needed to be knocked down a peg so he let her beat the shit out of him.

    Everything this guy says about automation is golden. Especially about 99% being ez and 99.9% being super hard. The only big thing he missed (but almost touched on) is that most of the demonstrated systems don't work well in tough environments. Real groups are trying to work well in snow / heavy...
