Aye, the majority of them are very low, so once they go dead, they wont last long as space junk (between 1 month and 1 year). SpaceX states that the planed average lifespan of a Starlink sat is only 5 years, under power. So, I'd imagine they also plan a continuous replacement rate as sats fail...

I'm not artist, so, do portraits in general have a high degree of difficulty? If so, you are then trying to add effects on top it, making for a difficult painting to get right. My non artistic eye has to agree that Thor's eyes are going to be the main issue and I'm having a difficult time...

I can see your point, but having high speed internet anywhere on the globe should be a huge boon for the global economy. If you want to talk about the morality of it all, it is hard not to frame it as some rich people and their hobby, vs the potential prosperity of millions of poor rural people...

A company called AST & Science out of Midland, Tx is asking the FCC for approval to put 243 large 4G/5G satellites into a constellation in orbit at an altitude of 447 mi (close to 4 scientific sats called the A-Train). For the first time NASA has officially weighed in on a private space venture...

Couldn't he still be around? How long do Chiss live and wasn't he off doing something else during RoTJ?

I'm sure that 269 gold mission has a month long cooldown...or better yet, a straight 1% per day RNG.

I made far, far more gold in Legion, per character with optimal set ups, than in WoD, from the table.

The BFA table was utterly worthless. The gold from it was probably less than 10% per week, per character, of what we were getting in Legion and it never improved much throughout the xpac. I don't expect the Shadowlands table to be any better, but, on the other hand, it can't get any worse.

They might have changed it after the 8.1.5 (?) Alchemy tradeskill tool debacle. For those that don't know: The tool allowed anyone with the tool to loot cauldrons that were peppered throughout the world and you could get anything from Flasks to Invis pots to a cauldron (low % chance) from it...

He obviously thinks the Rebellion worship the Electromagnetic Force that they use to in their laser weapons.

Kinda. As soon as it is looted, it becomes free for all, and you cant skin a mob with loot on it. If someone was taking the time to multibox, that should mean they are killing 5+ mobs at a time, but only able to skin 1 at a time. So, once they AoE loot, all the corpses become FFA, and people...

Last I did skinning was in 8.2 Nazjatar and skinning was definitely not multi tap (one skinner per animal). Throughout the xpac, when there was a World Quest to kill animals, there were far more people killing mobs than people with the skinning skill. So, you just needed to take a Skinner out...

From the sounds of it, don't you lose half if you die, period? So there is some cost to staying till you get dropped by the Eye of the Jailer debuff?

What?!? No, didn't you just read, I get to stealth in and ambush low health Horde until they rage quit, while never gaining stacks of the debuff. So, much better than islands!

Free to play weekend started today and will end on Nov 8. If you are planing on playing Shadowlands, this allows you to get UI set up, and push back resubbing till the day of release.

What if I told you there was an addon you could run in WoW, while you were busy shitposting on FoH or out baking a pretty cake, that would make the game completely free (for you) to play?

I imagine yall have looked around for options at some point, but microwave internet seems to be growing at a steady clip in the rural areas. Have you recently checked for "fixed wireless" ISPs in the area? A quick search gave me Rise Broadband as the largest fixed ISP in the US, but they aren't...

Last movie I saw in a theater was the Dungeons & Dragons (2000) movie. It was so bad that it left me traumatized and I haven't been in a theater since.

Nice, that saved me some time. I was wondering about the lag, so, I was in the midst of looking up all the old sats (Huges Net) and new sats (Starlink) to see about latency, as you posted that. To add a little bit to what Starlink/SpaceX is planing: There are currently 895 satellites in orbit...

I guess they kinda forgot about that...

A Miata? For a real answer, one would probably need: a price range (what you would like to spend and max you would ever go) can it be used? if used is ok, are you ok dealing with a private seller (because it will be cheaper if you take the time to do the homework)? The current Challengers are...

Didn't feel like unblocking Instagram or allowing flash on that site, so looked for it on Youtube. Nothing funny about it, or interesting really, but here it is if anyone else wanted to see it.

I think it was just the children of alcoholics that did that. When my cousin (who has fetal alcohol syndrome) was a kid, he would go around finishing the abandoned beer and mixed drinks, at the big family parties we had (St. Patrick's day). He was around 10 the first time he was caught doing it.

Not sure if serious, but... The Miata is purportedly one of the best entry level track cars. It is cheap to purchase, maintain, fix, and upgrade. A 2000 lbs curb weight and 50/50 weight ratio help to mitigate understeer or oversteer by driver error. It has enough horsepower to have fun in the...

It is part of the whole world wide release thing that they have done for 3 xpacs now. The old midnight EST release was just as bad, if not worse. Now, you can get a few hours of play time in and not totally fuck up your next day at work. They also addressed one of the main objection, in that...

Wouldn't it be great for those dungeons to actually be challenging, and to play with people you know and talk to through discord? Guess what, they are max level and don't want to level yet another alt. They also want you to be raid ready as soon as possible, so you can start raiding with them...

I haven't watched the Netflix show yet, but here is a breakdown of the 4 days of battle, if anyone wants to know a little more:

From the Polish Press Agency (Poland's national news agency): http://biznes.pap.pl/en/news/all/info/2997307,highlights:-cd-projekt-video-games-on-cyberpunk-2077-delay

Sounds like console problems fucking over PC gamers, again!

So you are saying it's going to have better writing than the last 4 xpacs? That's unlikely...

If you can wait, wait, for you will almost always have a better experience with a full release, on any game. If you are too hyped to wait, then the EA is still good, as far as EAs go (it is alpha state). As for the state of the Act 1 alpha: The game world looks 90%+ complete, and will probably...

All New York and New Jersey people are weird and/or scummy to the rest of the country, brah. Only Florida man has a worse rap, and that's probably due to all the New York migrant blood that has tainted the state.

Be warned, this show is purportedly almost entirely fiction posing as some historical drama. Once it has been out for a while, I am sure there will be whole write ups, by historians, on how wrong they get the history. I'll wait until I can read a few of those, before I possibly waste my time...

It is hard to tell what salts are used where, without looking up every jurisdiction, since there are various de-icers available (corrosive ones seem to be the cheapest). Calcium Chloride (CaCl2) was listed as the most corrosive and what is often used in some New England states. Since you live...

40,000 miles in 5 years probably means it was a daily driver. I would not knowingly buy a used car that had be driven in winter salt slush, which Denver has a lot of. If you aren't going to keep it for more then 5 years, the extra wear that salt causes might not become an issue, though. As for...

Hard to tell who will be OP as current DPS standings mean fuckall for level 60 balance and everyone will have different opinions on what specs are most fun to play. Although, most can agree that Windwalker and Feral will, most likely, be shat upon for another whole xpac. The best leveling spec...

That's nice, I guess. I know that if I spoke Durka Durka, I would be planing to Mohammed Jihad them for being infidels, but I guess that's not really relevant to the conversation...

Buffs lasting through spec change, and Starfall not breaking stealth makes pvp people die without ever seeing who is attacking them. lol

Bullshit, they have as many or more people with comorbidities. The majority of the population of China is working on a serious case of smokers/black lung.
