In further pluto news: Earlier in this thread I guessed that pluto's appearance was likely due to continued surface activity. As science starts to roll in, it appears that guess may be correct. Pluto has an atmosphere that is fairly considerable at over 100 miles thick, and has a considerable...

That video kinda sums up the hilarious stupidity of this entire project to me. Are they really wasting hours and massive amounts of time trying to figure out a chair in a space game? Is this fucking chairs in space. Why the fuck are they bothering to make complex collision meshes and shit like...

Seti in general is colossal waste of time and resources. As for earth-like planets, generally speaking, earth has a lot of unusual features that make it fairly unique for a planet, and we aren't sure to what extent life could possibly flourish without these features, especially complex and...

Kepler detects planets by watching how bright a star is. Every time a planet passes in front of a star from our view, that star will get slightly dimmer. Kepler likely detected the star getting some fraciton of a percent dimmer in a few set intervals. As for detecting atmospheres and...

RIP

look bad man. Ill prolly see it.

shaco is an -incredible- duelist. Bar none, the best. He can gear to beat any character in the game one on one, and his roam and split are very good. He's really scary in the right hands. 99% of shaco players are useless shitlords though, but there's a reason he gets banned a ton in high diamond.

I wouldn't go through insurance too, I'm just saying, you can and should fuck the insurance if its in your best interest (expensive). This is not expensive, and it is not in your best interest to claim it.

Can just report it to police now. You can report shit to the police for a LONG time after it happened, and your insurance company will try at every turn to fuck you over, but they'll have to protect their buttholes if they try to claim you are lying about your police report, however lately...

khorum, I just dont understand how you can take the stance that everyone in greece lies about their income and that these stats on their income mean something at the exact same time. It's kinda a one or the other thing.

No a single crater on the surface in that shot and super mountainous. Im going to guess that pluto either was created by a massive impact that fractured the system relatively recently, or has a lot of surface activity (probably the second). The first would mean it was probably a moon of neptune...

The first high quality image of pluto. Color will be calculated from other instruments and composited later.

Its like the donald trump of your party. Just like all the republicans hate mexicans, you aren't sposed to actually say it. All the liberals hate jews, but he was dumb enough to admit it.

Then all they have to do is start rounding up the jews responsible for this disaster. They're the ones that lead the banks, right?

I think it has a fixed position antena, and the probe is likely turned around to study pluto against the black body of the sun to detect atmosphere spectral lines. I doubt there's much of an atmosphere, but there probably is a very light nitrogen one.

It'll take a year and a half to send back all the data. I'm sure a nice generic pic is #1 priority, but there's a good chance we'll be getting better and more specific pictures for quite a while. I'm not sure the full capabilities of the craft- but hopefully it took pictures that allow it to...

looks like a fucking planet to me.

This shit don't work or exist yet. Until it does, who the fuck knows.

wtf is the little flare to the southwest of pluto. If you look at the other pictures from today, its in them as well.

i heard leia lost some weight to be in this movie. What I see tells me she contradicts that testimony. That or she has a super power for gaining fat.

Lets not belittle 300. The odds in that battle were more in the range of 100 to 1 vs the 10 to 1 here. Very few, if any fights in the history of man come anywhere close to what the Spartans accomplished, as doing anything other than getting stamped out immediately at 100 to 1 odds is amazing.

They're taking a kick in the nuts, but people have been saying since a couple months into the year that china was ripe for a big market upheaval. A collapse of society though? Unlikely to happen.

Which is a third world country dumbass. You have no idea what corruption is if your experiences are limited to america. Sure there's corruption here, but it pales in comparison to the system corruption that some countries have from the ground up.

Dont try to short change greece's issues. Both are pretty fucked up.

I think a comment like this is ignorant of how pervasive corruption can be in third world countries. Life styles are literally set up in a way where wiping out corruption would cause huge issues with society itself. In highly corrupt countries, nothing happens without expected payouts, and...

Aliens movies have consistantly been shit for years, blunderkamps movies have consistantly been shit for years. I want to hope, but I feel like hoping for this movie is the equivalent of being that retard kid who keeps hoping that dirt will taste good.

I think greece is genius. They figured out how incapable europeans are of saying no and latched onto that teet to suck it dry. Even now, when greece has shown it is entirely too retarded to ever be changed from its ways, greece is doing the equivalent of saying "might I have another"...

Apparently the issue with the new horizons probe was a timing issue in its command sequence. They say there's no hardware or software damage, and things should continue as planned soon (july 7th).New Horizons Good news, because pictures taken soon should be roughly twice the resoultion of the...

well it'd feel more dangerous. I guess you'd right if that's your criteria for how dangerous an area actually is.

Exactly.

Feeling in danger is not a sign of how dangerous an area is, it's more a sign of how much browns bother you.

There are areas of chicago that are perfectly safe, areas that I would avoid, or travel in only in specific ways. It's exactly the same in almost every major city. Your chances of getting murdered are actually far higher in chicago than greece.

I've been to south america and africa during unrest. It's just like chicago. Speak to locals, Know where to go, Find out where not to go and know the value of things. If you can handle doing these three things, you're fine 99.999% of the time anywhere. You could go to greece when shits all crazy...

theres so many fucking resources in space. Why would a race with the technology to access them bother with people on some planet? Life itself is the only resource unique to earth- thus coming here to exterminate it makes little sense.

it'll probably take a few years for shit to collapse. If they drop out of the euro, you will definitely live like a king during any visit.

It literally would be the worst time to lose the probe. It gets close enough to tease us and then fucks up.

awesome new pic from new horizons. Apparently there's been an error with the space craft that had it enter emergency autopilot and activate its 2nd computer. They hope to have it functional within two days- but science can't be done in the mean time.New Horizons

Also, new color images of pluto, showing one half and then the other. Apparently its a composite of multiple instruments. It certainly looks more brown than expected. Interesting.

Stopping at pluto is incredibly hard. To stop new horizons at pluto currently would take around 66 TONS of fuel. It currently has something in the range of 170 lbs. Compare this with the fact that the rocket sled which accelerated the ship to its current trajectory had a starting weight (with...

Mexicans work hard when they leave mexico.
