I spy with my little eye, another Bejeweled fan.

If you don't save your iPhone how will you be able to played Bejeweled in the new post-apocalyptic world? Breach in Earth's magnetic field Breach in field recorded June, 2015. Here's a terrible article on the subject for the boffins: Earth’s Magnetic Field Is Weakening Drastically And No...

You should probably learn what the results of a weakened or nonexistent magnetic field would be for your personal electronics and/or the power grid. Hint: Carrington Events become a yearly or monthly 'thing'.

Apparently the weakening of the Earth's magnetic field is accelerating and it's going to collapse in twelve years. Time to start building that Faraday cage you always planned to build.

That's not why Kerry was in Antarctica Researcher Claims Pyramid Discovered in Antarctica is Actually a Secret Alien Base - TechEBlog Or maybe Kerry is just a douche and thought the multi-million dollar expense of a SoS going to Antarctica for a photo op was totes appropriate. #probablythis

I couldn't find a good webcam - there used to be several for the nuke site but they all just show cranes now.

This is what happens if you investigate #pizzagate you get disappeared.

More radioactive sushi coming your way.

NASA seeing strange blue spheres. NASA cameras capture huge blue spherical object | Daily Mail Online Though it may just be the Sun and NASA cameras are going fubar (HT reddit).

Yes, he is totes "comfirmed." Anyway, the frothing anti-EM guys are all pretty much idiots I'm just going to point out one quote from the mess Tuco posted: "Their force measurements don't scale with power as one would expect." This is nonsense. One would 'expect' that the em drive wouldn't...

The reverse-thrust comment by random reddit guy is stupid. 1. It's not a factor of 2, only for the 80W test. 2. The real weirdness is (a) that there is one reverse run at 60W and one forward run at 80W where the value is 1/2 that of the other two results and (b) that there is a big difference...

Because extraordinary rendition isn't a real thing? Oh wait, it totes is.

Confirmed where?

I don't follow the ins and outs of it, but my friend who does seems to agree with the OP that Assange is either dead or imprisoned in US. If so, makes you wonder how much US bribed Ecuador?

So without going into heaving TLDR details, as I said, this days I'm semi-retired and spend most of my time either planning prospecting and/or treasure-hunting trips, or going on the planned prospecting and/or treasure-hunting trips. I've already talked a little about prospecting (focus on...

Oh yeah, I didn't see that when I was looking for a prospecting thread. I should have searched on gold. Relatedly - the single best introduction to Placer Gold mining (or rather locating) can be found in Mark Twain's 'Roughing It' Chapter LX on pocket mining:

I think it's a nice pastime, and I'd do it on weekends but I'm totally in the wrong area (LA/OC), much more successful if you live on the East Coast/South. Especially the South, there are still many small treasure troves to found from folks burying their wealth to prevent it from falling into...

Steve Fossett was already found. Nobody else worth looking for in the area.

Nevada is very, very large - Nye County alone is roughly the size of Massachusetts . And while parts of it have been completely explored, I can't imagine others getting more than glances. However, it is very much Minecraft-In-Real-Life. Per your point, I assume that the surface has been...

Yes, I primarily prospect in Nevada way, way less regulated, and the state has a much better website for downloading standard forms and etc. I lode prospect, so I don't pan (not that NV is known for its rivers) or otherwise look for placer gold. Basically Nevada has historically had huge lode...

I'm semi-retired from the law-talking business these days and one thing I've started doing in my spare time is prospecting for gold or silver in Nevada and California. It's a great way to spend a two-week 'vacation' - lovely country (especially if you like deserts, and I do) - there are lots of...

The Mandela Effect • /r/MandelaEffect If you don't know what the Mandela Effect is here is one paragraph on it: It's the name for the phenomenon a few - some - many people have experienced where they are sure that something is X. But they discover that in this 'timeline' (in ME speak) X is...

Put that on a hat and you've got a sale.

If you are a man and you vote for Hillary in November you might as well cut your balls off now, because Hillary's first EO will require mandatory Federal castration of men. Trump, at least, won't call for Federal castration of men on January 21, 2017. And the truth, that you all know, is...

As to the "nothing was wrong" comment? Pure bullshit. For an EA game, it's in decent shape and the Developers have been totally open about their issues (e.g. AI weak now, etc) and, most importantly, why the switched from TB to pausable real-time. You can like or dislike what you want, but flat...

You're whiteknighting the guy who keeps trashing the game despite never playing it? And despite the fact that developer has via video, podcasts and multiple posts on the forum explained, in detail, their rationale for the realtime combat. Which is that they spent a year with turn-based combat...

I found a turn-based game for you Jait. I know you think turn based mechanics are the pinnacle of gametech engineering, so I'm sure you'll love this!

Starlanes are a better mechanic than free movement for MOO. Makes the early game a lot more interesting and avoids issues with crappy second planets. But you'd know that if you actually played the game. Tech tree could use more selective techs and combat/ship design are still under...

Incomplete? Sure. Partially Broken? I do think the key negative issue with the game right now as compared to MOO2, is that tech is not as special as it was in MOO2 - let's assume for the sake of argument that the devs don't change that, and it is released with the "less special" tech tree...

Double Post.

And again, you'd be wrong. I've already seen $50 worth of enjoyment out the game, and that's before they start cooking with gas in EA2/3 and we get customized races and improved combat. Not to mention I get to drink the sweet, sweet tears of the rabid fanboys on steam (all of whom clearly...

It's the Collector's Edition that you're buying: extra race, pixel art ships, moo 1, 2 and (just cause?) 3 (if you already own any on GoG small discount). The standard game will be 29.99 at release in summer (less when it goes on sale of course).

If you ally with an AI after they've declared war on another race (that you were at peace with) you can attack that warred-upon race's fleets and not lose peace status. Autobuild AI is idiotic (always builds barracks first), I'm not sure if that qualifies as a bug. And build queue is not on...

Got me. Could be a different MP bug. Point being, SP is fairly stable, MP is not at this point. They were upfront about that in the Steam producer's letter on the store page. I prefer MP myself and the bugs are annoying but early access. Edited for clarity.

It's early alpha (tactical combat), alpha (multiplayer) and early beta (everything else) and depending on the phase of the moon. There are lots of bugs with multiplayer - example: game will freeze if you select "options" right when another person selects "Next Turn".

It's a known bug. The computer will allow you to upgrade your fleet, even if you don't have the money for it in Multiplayer. So if you click "upgrade all ships" - it'll deduct 1400 BC (or more from your treasury). At the end of the round you'll have minus a lot and it will scrap your...

Producer's letter on the Steam store page says customization and combat are top priorities for EA2. I'll note that right now there is a bug where the AI can screw its auto upgrades (specifically it seems to occasionally downgrade the computer), and never (AFAIK) does thing like add augmented...

No they really don't. They need to fix the combat (which includes fixing ship design) so you have actual control and so your ship designs actually matter. One big plus, even in its alpha state, is that lower level hulls (frigate, destroyer) matter late game unlike MOO2 where after a certain...

It's very good and addicting for a game just out of alpha, but it needs work before it's ready for prime-time. Issues in no particular order. 1. Current tech tree is mostly "all of the above" - MOO needs selective techs, it is the engine that drives diplomacy (or at least human diplomacy...

Yes I would prefer that as well. Reminds me of old-school Star Fleet Battles ships.
