    The Astronomy Thread

    Cool story bro, were you thinking it was going to get pictures of Jesus's sphincter or something? It's just a telescope with a mile long waiting list to do scientific stuff; the vast majority of which is going to look lackluster to people not on that list.

    I think I spent more time evaluating the mountains of yellow drops, to see if they were worthy of turning orange, than I did completing the entire season's journey of the last D3 season I played.

    What can I do in Texas or nearby?

    Do many people take the wife and daughter to strip clubs in your neck of the woods? lol Shooting could be a good idea for something he cant get in Australia. It's not too expensive to rent guns at some ranges (probably). When living in Houston, we only went to Carter's Country in Spring, but I...

    A pod of Orca are very upset with sailboats/yachts and have been attacking them near Gibraltar for the past few months. A few yachts were disabled and I think 2 may have eventually sunk. There was is a long sailboat race going on, and the leg of it, from the Hauge to Genoa was this week. Once...

    There are various minion builds that are slower to kill, but much less dancing around. I tried one of the hardcore builds, but it was slow and focused on not dying. So I hybridized it with the sever shadow build and it worked ok for T3 (mid levels). It needed some uniques to make it more...

    Nah, it's more just a funny use of mechanics and commenting that a proper testing team should have caught something like this. Actibliz notoriously fired a vast majority of their QC department, a few years ago though. I don't know anything about GGG or their testing methods/budget, or lack...

    Well that's funny, the new end game necro meta is a spec that allegedly achieves 100% uptime on invulnerability named infinimist. Have to stack lucky hit. Here is the spec; I'm sure this was well tested, intentional, and in no way will be nerfed before season 1...

    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    I have seen a mouse/rat (forgot which it was) work their way free from a partial hold in the old glue traps they used when I was a youth (in the 90s), then leave a trail of glue smeared across the floor with it's last bit of energy. I have also seen those old traps get flipped upside down and...

    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    It's a fairly large rat, about the size of fully grown pet rats I have seen people own. So a bit concerned it will get glue all over the inside of the vehicle, and haven't seen any signs of where it was pathing outside (in the garage). Obviously, every day the rat is in the vehicle, the higher...

    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    A crafty rat found it's way into a vehicle, and is avoiding the two traps. So found a variation on suffocating the varmints out, using dry ice (NYC got in trouble using this because it's not EPA approved). No idea how much dry ice would be need to fill up a vehicle enough to kill the rat...

    Car ?'s

    Yea, memories can be a bit faulty, so without video it's hard to say how big of an asshole the trailer guy was being. While they are a small minority of drivers w/ trailers, in the big cities, I have seen some douchebags driving way faster, "weaving" sluggishly around traffic, and doing things...

    Well, he meant to hit the truck, but it accelerated quickly and ended up hitting the trailer instead.

    Kinda related: I had a bug before I quit, in one of the Helltide boss summoning events, that would cause one of my necro abilities to launch the portals about 2 screens away. I had it happen multiple times on one portal and the event boss was almost dead by the time I got back.

    Babylon 5: The Road Home

    First time I watched B5 was around 5 years ago, and, once I got over the terrible CGI, I thought it was great (even season 1). Directly before watching it, I had just gotten through a months long Star Trek run of TNG (2nd rewatch), DS9 (I had only seen 50% of DS9, previously), and Enterprise...

    To add my experience: I did at least 6 tree boxes before stepping foot in a nightmare dungeons and probably averaged 1 sigil per box; I may have gotten up to 3 in one, and 0 in others. Then was getting 1-2 sigils in each nightmare dungeon. When RNG is involved it can be difficult tell, as bugs...

    Cord-Cutting, Or How to Stream your Way to Success

    All you can do it try. It shouldn't take too long to figure out if it will work. Do you have a tv that can easily be brought out to the garage? Before running any wires in the walls, I would just run a loose wire down the ladder and hook up the antenna to various mounting positions you want to...

    You can turn off move/attack/interact as one key, to bind them separately, if that helps anything. It makes left click into force move, by default.

    Sure, but I am paranoid of getting sued, so it's always why take the chance when they specifically say your banned from burning shit. It always feels like there is some small chance that I could roll a 1 and everything goes catastrophically wrong.

    Weird, I wonder if that was some kinda of lucky bug to get 6. The last I read was that the Mystery chests respawn at the top of every hour and there are only 4 spawn locations per helltide, with only 2 being active at a time... ...and as I typed all that, the newest helltide map says all 4...

    I did the helltide reset to great effect, the second or third time I did it; would have easily got 4 chests, if I hadn't started both times with less than 30 min left. They either nerfed it somehow, or it, more likely, required a ton of people online to create 1000 different instances to jump...
