The democracy is crumbling under its own bureaucratic weight!

After the 2016 POTUS election I'm really jonesing for some electoral action.

Hodj was a great moderator when he wasn't abusing his powers.

I remember it being 6 months. If it's not it should be. I have a staunch record of never changing the rules on the fly by I'd make an exception here.

I bit it the first RZ I did because I didn't think to levy. I don't even know what I was thinking when I jumped.

I've literally never thought about my popularity, so you're treading in new ground here and are the expert. I'd say my popularity on this forum peaked when I ran a set of return to EQ events in old world zones that happened before emulators were popular. I don't even know when it was, maybe 2007?

Zyzzy thinks this community started with rerolled.org

Mostly because I have done a shitty job in the last 4 months. Also because I planned on only running one term to ensure a good precedent was set. My participation turned out to be wholly unnecessary because the other mods are good. And finally because I don't really want to do it and feel zero...

It is. Because before I said I wasn't planning on running, which was true. Now I am saying I am planning with 100% certainty to not run. Which is also true.

Sure. From that thread: THESE ARE A GUIDELINE BECAUSE IT IS EASIER TO ENFORCE A RULE THAN TO MAKE ONE UP. I will enforce the will of the people. Every time and in every hypothetical poll result that anyone can come up with.

Nah, that well is dry. There is zero chance I'll run for mod in March.

Keg would make an excellent moderator.

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?
