    Last Minute Unplanned Vacations

    I have the next week off. My wife and I have no plans. We don't even care where we go as long as it's warm (50+ degrees). Is there any kind of service that searches for ridiculously cheap last minute flights to warm places? I've tried: Skyscanner - Compare Cheap Flights, Hotels Car...

    Ever work at a position where you do absolutely nothing?

    Re: IT guys whose goal is to reduce the amount of work they do. Sometimes I wonder if it's counter to the goal of an IT dept, which is to help the company have functional computer systems and networks. At some places it seems the more work IT does to automate their job the less useful the IT...

    The Video Thread

    Talking crap about realism in movies is all well and good but come on, every blow to the head doesn't result in skull fractures. That doctor probably thinks someone dies in every boxing match.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I'm definitely 100% asking the why. The affect of gravity on objects is as obvious as apples falling from trees. The reason for it is unknown.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I will continue to assume that understanding why gravity works will result in flying saucer technology.

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    Yeah I haven't seen any description of the scope and number of their star systems. Personally if you want exploration to be exciting you need to have a massive planetary wilderness to explore. If it's just a small theme park of highly streamlined content there's no mystery or discovery. I...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Re: Woman bitching about her husband's spending habits. Without knowing the details it's tough to say if it's smart or not. The truth is that most American finances are disasters. Most well-employed people in this country will dole out whatever seems smart to their 401k, then calculate a budget...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I haven't watched Lithose video yet but let me be very specific in what I mean. The equation you brought up describes the way in which gravity affects objects but it doesn't describe why. I get why when I push a pencil it moves because at some level my hand's molecules are bumping into the...

    Google buys Boston Dynamics

    This is pretty big news, and google has recently sucked up a handful of other robotics companies: Google Acquires Seven Robot Companies, Wants Big Role in Robotics - IEEE Spectrum These all seem to be related to bipedal/quadripedal robots (rather than wheeled robots like their world-class...

    Tired of letting my wife figure out this fertility thing. Just bought some magnesium and calcium chloride lube, a microscope and some chemical analysis strips and I made a temp spreadsheet. Gonna get this done. TIGHT TIGHT TIGHT

    The Astronomy Thread

    Stupid question: what's the risk in contaminating that water? Are we afraid we'll unleash life on Mars that will evolve and take us over? Or are we afraid we'll corrupt potential testing areas?

    TAKEDOWN by Christian Allen, Serellan LLC Kickstarter If there's one complaint I have about modern FPS games it's that they're too slow. They butchered the controls of the classic FPS to make them playable with a joystick. Everything about his pitch sounds like generic squad FPS game where as...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Not doubting Swagdaddy's word but I bet 75% of women who get child support say their men don't pay it. But there's also different laws and I think some are loose enough that the female has to make some serious effort to get child payments, enough that they would have to hurt the man they want...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    No because everyone knows condoms suck. It's all about: 1. How much does it cost. 2. How easy is it to get. 3. How easy is it to take correctly. 4. What kind of side effects does it have? Female BC is pretty cheap (If it's subsidized) and widely available but having to take it at the...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I see this all the time but I don't know if I trust men to take them if they are as rigorous as female BC (though all the reports I've seen of in-testing versions show that they're much easier to take). It'd also weaken a man's position to avoid responsibility of a kid because unprotected sex...

    MMO Glitches / Sploits

    I never played an FD class so it was always mysterious and entertaining to watch our team of high-calibre monks dick around with splitting mobs. It's one of those 'exploits' that's challenging enough that it seems like part of the game and not really cheating.

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    Yup. I don't know the credentials of the programmers they have but a great engine isn't something you can just throw money at. It takes a team of highly capable and passionate programmers working their asses off to make.

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    Their excuse for the dofighting module delay is pretty reasonable though. They were going to use an off the shelf engine (crytek iirc) and later move to a homegrown one. But then they got millions of dollars and hired enough programmers that they decided to move up the creation of their own...

    I've never seen any explanation of gravity that I can understand that describes how the moon is impacted by the earth (Or any planetary bodies that are hundreds of thousands of miles away)

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Yeah that sounds about right. This whole argument is asinine and Izo/Gadrel should be ashamed. If a_skeleton_03 wants to get a cheaper apartment / use less HVAC and in exchange mines some bitcoins then who cares.

    So let me get this straight, KI has: 1. A free demo 2. Can be bought for $20 3. Paying $40 gets you a bunch of other shit including an HD remake. And noodle is upset because that generous model is just a sneaky way to easily allow them to start charging high prices for new characters? I...

    Come on Vaclav, you played KI for a few minutes, beat a few of your chucklehead friends by pressing Y and now you're making blanket statements about it with no other information?

    What's your KI rank? Like any fighting game you can find very limited attacks or combos executed quickly (ex spamming Y) will take you somewhere but even a cursory glance at KI's combat system would show that button mashing is heavily punished and success with it against even a journeyman is...

    Starbound

    Hey Ronne I heard you told me not to play it because there's not enough content but I just played it and I don't like it because there's not enough content. Just kidding, if this is supposed to turn into more of an adventure-RPG that's cool. I'll check it out in a year.
