    The Astronomy Thread

    That was my point though, when a piece breaks off ...and there are plenty of videos of that on the internet... none actually seem to turn in the complete opposite direction. Momentum would carry it in the same general direction but off at an angle. This video appears to break off and travel...

    Random technology news & announcements

    I am all about hi fidelity music. It's a shame musical audio has been obliterated due to MP3 players of old. Back when player memory was measured in MB. NV(RAM) is so cheap these days that we should have been at mainstream lossless audio for a while. So.. great for the new Walkman, but you still...

    Thank fuck that didn't happen. I don't care for her as an actress and I do not think she could have pulled it off either.

    The Astronomy Thread

    So, this "meteor / UFO" video has been making the rounds on the net and news sites since yesterday. I would initially say this simply looks like an object burning up on entry in the atmosphere, but I can not explain the glowing secondary orb that flies off in the completely opposite direction...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Bullshit semantic. When people say the phrase, they are implying that they do not care. When used incorrectly as: "I could care less", this implies you DO care. To what degree is irrelevant. This phrase is also a peeve of mine. A very distant second is when people say "irregardless". The double...

    Weight Loss Thread

    Continuing my weight loss, I am using MyFitnessPal and at 5'10" and 220lb it has me at a ~1750 calorie a day intake. I add the calories I burn to keep the defecit steady. I honestly couldn't fathom what 3k+ calories a day would be like. The only way I could see myself doing it (healthy) is...

    Okay bros - Oil Prices & Energy Stocks - time to buy?

    Until Saudi changes their stance, I only see it dropping further. While you are correct in saying its a good long term buy, I think it's a safe bet to wait for a further drop in prices.

    To me it seems CoF took a dip in price while RBG has stayed constant. About a year back, I swear CoF would go 110-120k.

    The Al`kabor Project (EQMac) - PoP 1/5

    I'd honestly rather see a stable connection for a Beta. Secrets actually admitted the netcode is fucked and he has asked for help from other Emu devs. Is it too much to ask for this to be resolved? I just think it tarnishes people's expectation of what the server could be. You have a ghetto as...

    The Al`kabor Project (EQMac) - PoP 1/5

    I was using the PC client. Specifically, it was issues when 3 boxing. I figured out the spell gems getting stuck fix by simply alt-tabbing away and back again. Annoying yes, but I could work through that. The issue specifically I have is the random disconnects when zoning or during normal play...

    The Al`kabor Project (EQMac) - PoP 1/5

    I apreciate the work you have done, honestly. I have no clue how to code a damn thing myself. I was simply stating that for the success of the server, it probably would have been better to delay it vs release it in its current state and then watch the server die as the stability / playability...

    Just curious, with levels so quickly it = killing less mobs = less pp, which = pain to purchase spells as a caster class?

    There's no way the internet trolls in today's day and age wouldn't spoil the shit out of the fact "Frodo lives"! Funny you mention the Snape ko DD from HP. Even back then, you had videos of people spoiling nerds in line for the books. One in particular was a video posted of someone driving by...

    Survivor

    I tried watching this a long time ago, but was put off by Americans on television visiting other countries and acting like complete dickbags to foreign locals. As if we Americans don't have enough stigma as horrible tourists, I don't want to sit and watch it on my TV for "entertainment".

    The Al`kabor Project (EQMac) - PoP 1/5

    I have found alt tabbing away and then back to the client resolves it most of the time. Definitely some serious bugs with this client. I have had far too many deaths that were purely due to shitty client issues like you mentioned or the numerous disconnects. I think they are far too frequent...

    Jyson - Enchanter Adoria - Cleric Hadan - Druid I wish this EQW client wasn't such a piece of shit. If you can get WinEQ2 working for P99 client, I am sure it can be done here. The stuck cursor, window resizing / movement, etc are all a pain in the dick to deal with.

    The Al`kabor Project (EQMac) - PoP 1/5

    So, I am getting about 3-12% packet loss to server. No idea if it is just me? Also, what the fuck is up with this ghetto version of the windowed launcher? Can't we use a normal version of WinEQ? This is horrible.

    The Al`kabor Project (EQMac) - PoP 1/5

    Well, the server isn't being deployed like EQ Mac either. It is progression of some sort starting with original vanilla Old World zones (plus a couple extras), which makes the original rares a valid question. EQ Mac server opened in 2003 for PoP, so all those old world rares were long since...

    Yep, which means that people can basically solo (3 box) play whatever camps they want. Kills community bigtime.

    The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014)

    Galadriel has one of the rings of power, hence her crazy bitch mode during that fight. I think that was the reason she could banish Sauron (weakened with no ring, no physical form, etc). Nothing to do with her power "as an elf".

    The Al`kabor Project (EQMac) - PoP 1/5

    I would honestly drop my P99 toon if they made this server with a no boxing rule. Or at most, limit it to a 2 box.

    Regarding the Box of Abu-Kar, unless you really want the weight reduction, have access to Deluxe Toolboxes (10 slot / Giant capacity) for ~1p from a PoK vendor. PoK also makes spells fairly trivial to attain for all caster classes.

    The Fast Food Thread

    I agree with the dry conclusion. I know WHY they made these, they wanted something on the menu a bit more friendly for eating on the go. Surprisingly many people fail at eating tacos / burritos without making an absolute mess. It's Taco Bell's version of a burger. It just isn't all that great to me.

    Eagles fly 10,000 to 15,000 feet (3.0 - 4.5km) high at about 65 mph. They can glide for hours without rest on warm updrafts of air. With their acute vision, they are able to spot prey a mile down below. Eagles swoop down at amazing speeds of 200 mph... The furthest distance shot with any bow...

    NYE and Uber

    Been said but needs repeating... Uber's business model is based on surge pricing. NYE is probably the most expensive Uber rates of the year. Outside of that, on any normal use, I love Uber's service.

    Casual movie goers and non-book readers would have lost their shit wanting to know who the fuck the enigma of Bombadill was.

    I purchased 8.1 Pro from that guy and didn't go through that headache. I loaded from a Windows media creation tool, then installed with the GVLK key license, then a few days later activated with the seller's key via the normal windows activation tool. Appendix A: KMS Client Setup Keys
