It wasn't? I was sure I had put spoilers. I'm apologize for my mistake. ** EDIT ** Oops, just checked my post, and yea, I agree, I didn't put enough on spoilers.

Note that

My bad, I was still thinking of this as some kind of MMO, which isn't entirely correct. I dimly remember the discussion about the status of the game, but, well, I'm getting old, brain is seizing, and all that stuff. Mostly. I think.

Apparently, it's in beta now and plays like shit:The Division?'s underwhelming beta dampens our expectations | Ars Technica

It's from 5 years ago, so it shouldn't be too out of touch with current physics. Carroll has a new book coming out this spring which is going to be slightly more general about the Universe, not just the entropy/big bang/time directionality stuff; don't know how much we're getting new information...

Now that they've shown the protomolecule,

Well, he's dead. Until the first episode in which he isn't anymore, that is.

Actually, the Steady State theory explicitly prevent the existence cosmic background radiation, which can only be produced by a massively dense phase of the universe, something that can't happen in a static and steady-state universe. Hoyle and his pals tried desperately to add more epicycles...

From Eternity to Here: The Quest for the Ultimate Theory of Time: Sean Carroll: 9789351116943: Amazon.com: Bookshas almost no math formula. Very understandable if you like physics without being a physicist.

Spoilage from books

Nothing like that here in France so far, but I remember the 2010 snow storm. Ex-colleague and friend of mine left work at 7pm, as usual for him. By 1 am, he was back AT work, never having managed to get more than a mile from there. I also saw on the Mediterranean a whole town shut down...

About every physicist agrees that "before" is a meaningless concept when applied to the big bang. It didn't just create matter, it created space AND time. I'm partial to Sean Carroll's books. Makes those weird concept easier to understand. (side note: Carroll is an Everettian. Which makes the...

Same. The idea and trailers came out as cheesy, but the pilot was actually good. Kinda over the top, but good. Looking forward for some good heart eating.

On the Ceres-Eros shuttle, he was next to a priest going to an episcopal conference on Eros, and they talked and that made him internalize that he wasn't coming back to Ceres. But that probably wouldn't work well in the show, so they went with the "let's leave the hat" symbol instead, to mark...

That's basically why they dropped the original title (which was "The Frankenstein Code"). The link was far too tenuous.

That was the Gravitonium. Different black goop here, apparently.

But it launches, lands, and relaunches, which is going to drive down the costs of its business (space tourists). Which is the point. Reducing the cost of your space business is good.

We need those competitors to take the test and post their results.

Two things you'll have to watch in the next expansion are: - The upscaling problem, in which the stuff you fight in any given zone is scaled UP to your level... if you don't have the appropriate gear for that level, you might be in trouble... - The artefact power problem, in which you might...

Most people agree that the polarization Rep-Dem is (unfortunately) masking a lot of political nuance. That's what you get with a two-party system. You get better result if you split the politics into liberal/conservative social and economical traits. The 3rd axis might be...

Well,it's actually a sabotage by time-traveling physicistswho wanted to prevent the end of the mankind at the pincers of an extra-dimensional hive intellect. (the author is a physicists who absolutely lamented that unfortunate cancellation)

At the moment, it's mostly a math construct. Even if it makes some prediction about Kuyper dynamics that appear to be borne out by observations, you still need to be careful about having different models that give you those stable and weird orbits. The paper also stresses that the parameters...

Yea, they put Pirates of the Carribean XXIX or something in that slot to feel the trail exhaust of GotG2, which shows utter confidence.

Yea. I've been reading the series for 5 years (since the first came out in 2010), so it's not too fresh. But did re-read the first three volumes when the first eps landed, to refresh my memories, which might have been a mistake. Side note for reference: We're currently at page 223 out of 560...

No idea, but both are producers on the show, and they're apparently quite often on site for the shootings and all that, so they are extremely involved.

Well, in this case (per Ty Frank and Daniel Abraham's own twitters), the authors themselves decided to add that stuff so that the book readers have new stories they didn't knew to watch.

Last episode was a bit disappointing, because it was hugely padded. If you're not a book reader, know that the entire stowaway spy+martian donkey balls sub-plot is a complete addition. It didn't happen at all. In the books, you have Holden and crew undocking from Tycho, end of chapter, Miller...

Carbon 14 is produced at the top of the atmosphere from cosmic activity, which is why you use carbon 14 for dating fossils of living stuff: plants constantly absorb CO2 which includes that fresh C14, animals eat those plants, and so living creatures tend to have the same C14 balance as the...

And he was wiped from existence when his earth-1 ancestor got killed. Which is the best proof you need that he was from this version of Earth.

I did a rewatch of the first 6 ep this saturday, and I agree. It does feel a lot better if you chain the episodes. I'm still going to watch every ep as they come, but I'll probably rewatch the entire series when ep 10 comes out.

Side note: your weekly kill of Kazzak gives you 1000 apexis as well.

I think that's why they finally split PvP/PvE in Legion. At one point, it ceases to be a guiding principle and becomes a stupid idea that should have died long ago.

Iron Fist as 4th series, not the Defenders. Although it was an implicit possibility.

It's only useful while you're starting out. Once you've filled your garrison with your treasure hunter/scavengers, you don't need it anymore. There's nothing really important to replace it however. You may add a disenchant cabinet; disenchanting baleful to make enchanter mats yields more gold...

I usually queue my followers twice a day. Takes me 6-7mn for 10 characters, but that's because I'm only sending them on money making missions, that is: gold, GR, and tokens. You convert GR into gold (I don't both with mats, I straight out buy bag of golds) at the trading post, and sell back...

In the books, he's the joke cop. The cop the boss gives stuff that she doesn't want to get solved, like, I don't know, the case of the father wanting Julie Mao, OPA operative currently on assignment on the Scopuli. After Havelock scrams out of Ceres, his new partner finally break the news to him...

MTV. That's what explains all of the above. Yup.

Side note: that's exactly one of the major plot points of 11.22.63 (the time travel novel from Stephen King, soon on your small screen).

My guess is that you have a single artifact power pool. Meaning you'll be able to earn artifact power as a healer, and spend it on whatever protection artifact there is. I don't think there's going to be a catch-up that gives you "free" artifact power if you've already invested it in another...
