This is a bit overly dense. Are you asking about the ethical dilemma that would occur if we could: 1. Identify trans at the molecular level in utero 2. Turn trans "on" or "off" at the molecular level in utero?

You don't know how science and "facts" work if you think linking a few studies from questionable journals somehow makes something an all caps FACT. Hard science journals that actually deal in quantifiable, repeatable, precise studies don't even make the claim that "this is a FACT, we have...

Craft the World

Hey, right now I'm too busy playing a four year old Terraria clone with dwarves!

First guy I ever fired was done with a text. That was a mistake.

X-Com 2 is 75% off. Been on my wishlist forever, maybe I'll get around to actually playing it in 2020.

Anyone else notice after pretending like he just found out who Rogan is, he fired off Jamie's name as if he was very familiar with it?

Half wAy through Snowden so far and haven't learned a god damned thing we didn't already know. Joe is just letting him ramble.

Lindelof? Pass. I'm sure it will start off as an intruiging world with lots of mystery and foundational questions that will ultimately never be satisfactorily answered. In 3-7 years all you fags that didn't learn your lesson after Lost will be gnashing your teeth at the horrible ending.

I wonder how many Rolling Stones songs will be played while the camera follows one of the leads in slow motion during a tense scene.

Schrodinger's gun. It's both loaded and unloaded until Jesse makes a move.

Ya I've enjoyed the Fring/Mike/drug trade stuff but all the lawyer shit....pass. It took what, 4 seasons to even get to him being Saul? That's 2 seasons too many.

Perfection. I don't have a single complaint and am very happy with the ending. Will be included on every subsequent rewatch of BB. Enjoyed this much more than any two hours of Better Call Saul.

Why wait for retirement?! I mean that's pretty much what we're all doing in the GG and Politics threads already.

Understandable. Without a quote it just seemed like you were old man yelling at the sky wizard and I had forgotten about her contribution to the convo.

So you're the one that actually reads a Vanessa post.

This is why you never drain a pool when the ground is saturated.

I've had a law firm take care of a couple outstanding tickets/warrants for me exclusively through email. If you're wanting to keep costs down then I think that's how they do it now. Just look up reviews for the firm on Google first. If they are completely shady it should come up.

We've been having a great discussion for 5 pages and then you toss out a "god damn Christians suck, amirite guys!?" non-sequitur completely out of nowhere. Why is that? Are you so insecure in your non-belief that you have to shoe horn it into every conversation? Not much different than TDS...

Yep. It just sucks that, because of our own mortality, those of us that actually care the most about this stuff won't be able to see it come to fruition. Instead we have to watch our inheritance be squandered to pay for 400lb Mexican trannies get their dicks chopped. Pass on your genes faggots...

If humans were a eusocial species like ants, bees, and wasps and still retained our ability to innovate we would be setting up jump stations around Jupiter right now instead of arguing about feminine penises.

You mean like...submarines? Even easier if you are taking out the need for human life support on the journey. Obviously interstellar travel is far more technical, difficult, or whatever adjective you want to use. But it's by no means so far out of reach as to be "magical". Politics has had a...

I bet it's really killing Mudcrush Dirtfoot to not garbage all my and Khorum's posts in this thread.

You can still achieve relativistic speeds using our current Apollo level propulsion tech. Constant acceleration over a long period of time will always get you there... high school physics. The problem is the "long period of time" part of the equation. And braking. Go take a look at how fast...

Who is making that assumption and why would that be relevant? I think the original problem takes into account that technology would improve. It was simply using the speed of light and how much %c we could achieve to come up with the 5-50 million number. Am I wrong about that?

You can take it one step further and note that the raisins are only "moving" relative to an outside observer. Since the bread is the entire universe itself there is no outside observer, therefore the raisins have actually maintained their original positions, relative to each other, since the...

My favorite analogy in thinking about the expansion of space is imagine bread dough with raisins. It starts as one compressed ball all mushed together but as the bread rises(space expansion) the raisins(galaxies) move further apart. If you look at it like that, the raisins themselves aren't...

I should do this with all my pics from the Guadalupe River in the 90's, but instead of Harley trash it's co-eds from UT.

Just think of it as vacation pics from someone that went on a white trash safari. Nat Geo for dirt bags.

I know a few people that go to Sturgis just about every year. I'm glad and disappointed that I didn't see titties of a couple women who I went to grade school with.

I graduated at 42. BS in Biology, graduated Magna Cum Laude. Bounced around Montana and Idaho a couple years working fisheries and having a blast. Pay was shit though and with responsibilities back home in Texas I went back to my career in the pool business. Racked up about $25k in debt but I...

*space-time....and it is "something" since it is expanding.

Didn't work for me either. Seemed bland. I felt like if you isolated any of the guitar riffs, drum fills, or bass lines they would be indistinguishable from their previous works. Especially stuff from 10,000 Days. Made it 3/4 of the way through and it hadn't elevated my heart rate once. So I...

If you can't empathize in some way with any of the characters in a movie/show/play then it's either not worth watching or you're an emotionless robot. I don't understand how anyone could enjoy a show like BB, The Wire, or Sopranos and then say they don't relate at all to any of the characters...

The last couple pages are a good study into how rational, intelligent people can view the exact same events and come to entirely different conclusions. I think it boils down to empathy. Some people empathize or "see themselves as" Walt or Jesse and that totally colors how they process what they see.
