Gal Gadot looking better. Gina Carano would've been better still.

Voted yes. Will personally enact the results of the poll. Election season is coming up again, so I guess I have to get off my ass and be a man of the people to win re-election.

My vote carries the same weight as Sander's speeches and non-binding agreements.

I voted to overturn.

Am I the only one who really likes astronomy but has little more than a passing interest in any kind of eclipses?

What if if is put in space, turned off, theoretically moves at an imperceptible rate, and then overheats and turns off?

EQ put out a patch today that displays velocity and breaks down AC into mitigation and evasion and attack into offense and accuracy. So you'll need to update this thread to account for it. Test Update 01/11/17 - Patch Notes and Discussion | EverQuest Forums

What is their mission? To make graceful crash landings in the Mohave desert? I actually wonder when we'll see an ultra-light armed military drone. Just a quadcopter with a handful of .22 rounds.

My dad got help within 24 hours on a failed quest they didn't really neeeeeeed to help him with. Confirmed long-term profitability of DBG.

Pretty cool that they discovered a site via lidar. Have you seen any cool point cloud visualizations of what they used to find the site? I wonder how abstract it is.

I dunno what bad means, because I think that you should need to do the latest expansion to have a combat-ready character. But your gear is too dated to jump in at the endgame and you'd be pretty close to a fresh level 105 when you got there. There's a thread about a situation that's pretty...

I don't know shit about enchanters except they have some way to use runes to tank and something else to hold aggro. I recommend reading through: The Newbie Zone | EverQuest Forums There's a lot of good advice there for returning players. But a boxed army will always be better than moloing...

Only in that an enchanter can do decent DPS (unlike a bard or shaman) and do some tanking (no really) but can also buff their group and add ADPS. Personally I like the tracking and selos a bard has so much that I'd take my 20k DPS bard over whatever an enchanter is doing. I also think a bard is...

I box a war/bard/mage right now. It's fine and once your warrior is geared you can pretty much do all the group content on your own except some of the difficult missions. I am considering replacing the mage with either a berserker or a cleric. The berserker would increase kill speed, the...

SK/Berserker/ENC + mercs is probably the most OP combination for kill speed. Those three classes are the current OP ones.

This comic combines my pretentiousness about my humble knowledge of math and my undeserved elitism regarding faux-science journalism, and therefore I find it funny. Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal - The Talk

Good article on the EMDrive and why there's not enough information to draw positive conclusions yet: Uncertain Propulsion Breakthroughs?

Gotta be frustrating for cab drivers who possibly eeked out a lower middle class lifestyle to be disrupted by a company that was completely unprofitable but survived on VC funding. It's like the transport version of Walmart moving into a new town, crushing all the nearby stores via loss-leading...

in addition to gas cars being phased out slowly, yeah there are much fewer working parts on electric vehicles, but a lot of maintenance will still be necessary on EVs. And with the increase in responsibility that cars will get when they become fully autonomous, there's just more shit to worry...

It won't go away suddenly, it's not like cell phones where in a period of 10 years we'll all laugh at the existence of pay phones. Additionally, unless we find a chemistry dramatically better than what we have now, gasoline cars aren't going anywhere. It just might go from 0.01% of cars to...

Car prices haven't been exponentially getting more expensive. I think the color chart is the coolest part of this. 2013 is boring.

WE won't see Musk drive prices down. He'll be pioneering other big things (like autonomous cars!).

Cool. I hope in ~15 years we see budget-price electric cars for $10k.

I'd lose easily. If your argument is, "The cost of electric vehicles will greatly diminish as a result of commoditization, as the floor is extremely small due to the simplicity of an electric powertrain vs a gasoline one." that's true and I don't think anyone who knows vehicles will disagree...

Zapatta, what do you do for a living?

I know and it'll be awesome.

What expertise do you have in automotive supply chains and commodization?

This is the coolest thing ever. I'd love to see how far they're stretching the energy cost of moving a 10lbs package a few miles.

lol @ calling the Tesla price tag outrageous. They deployed the first decent system + infrastructure to support it and massively dropped the price.

Yeah they seem to be pretty tight lipped about it, but here's their car: Pretty standard looking setup. Two velodyne HDL32s on top, looks like a dual antenna GPS receiver, some cameras and radar. Not sure how I feel about GM's approach of just buying an autonomy group for 1 billion vs Ford's...

Sorry for my bad interpretation, but are you saying you work on the autonomous software? Or you make software that isn't onboard?

Gotta be a sweet future for bikers when enough autonomous cars are on the road that they can just lane split quickly through traffic that splits apart like the Red sea for Moses. I have no doubt that it'll be easy for autonomous vehicles to be more friendly to motorcycles than human drivers...

Yep. One second is probably like, 100-1000 iterations of their control system. My control systems have checks for a single iteration being goofy, and any kind of jitter is very noticeable and tracked down very seriously. If one iteration of totally wrong feedback is a weird twitch in your...

It's a good opportunity for people who aren't sure if they want to curate museums or develop games.

EQ VR would be terrible, it's too UI based.

Yes. Casually. It's actually a lot of fun.

For EQ at least, there's no reason they can't treat it like a cash cow indefinitely and just have a minimal dev team making minimal amounts of content. There's no need to try and revitalize the game, it's doing fine for what it is, and there's no excuse for it to not be revenue positive. DBG...

People are generally happy with it. There's some issues here and there, but the content is not buggy, good and enough to progress through. There's enough to do for a month or two casually. The massive number of fairly diluted and uninteresting AAs is daunting. For some classes there aren't that...

Next Big Future: Cannae will try to prove propellentless propulsion in space in 2017 and has ambitious space probe designs with 33 years of constant acceleration to reach 3% of lightspeed I'll take an avatar bet with anyone that Cannae will never launch a Cannae drive-driven space probe.
