    I don't see the world comparison either. EQ had a massive world with a variety of zones and traversing from one end to the other without porting took hours and could be pretty dangerous (<3 kithicor) with severe penalties if you fucked up and lost your corpse. BDO has basically three zones, all...

    I actually do too. In BDO grinding is so easy (as a wizard) because you can just hop around and use any one of the many "kill everything buttons" but if you stop for 4 seconds to type mobs will spawn and attack you. I actually prefer EQ's grinding where it's slower, methodical and inherently...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I feel like the "weight of human on earth" comparison is more suitable than the gravitational force of two human beings together. I have no idea how strong that is and my only frame of reference is when Sandra Bullock and George Clooney drifted apart from another in Gravity.

    I also don't get the comparisons to EQ. 1. No forced grouping. 2. No named spawn camping 3. No raiding. 4. Completely different leveling and gearing system. 5. Action style combat. 6. No support classes. 7. PvP I mean, what makes it like EQ?

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    BBC documentary on gravity Quest for gravity control - Video Dailymotion EMDrive stuff starts at 29:20. No idea what's going on with his airlift thing, it doesn't look like the device is accelerating, just moving at a constant speed, making me think this is just a demonstrating and he's...

    Wooly, I like you and believe you have a good heart so it pains me to bring this public, but you were removed for the following: 1. There have been over a dozen people who independently reported issues with you. 2. You join random people's channels and fillibuster them with nonsense. 3. You...

    The Astronomy Thread

    That would be the kind of thing that would transform the space race for sure. I imagine that another high value asteroid would be one that is basically solid ice and very retrievable. Moving a big hunk of ice into orbit around the earth would make space a lot cheaper. I'm super biased...

    This looks amazing, but I think at 1200 vertical pixels it just won't be high enough resolution.

    Hmm if I sold my CV1 for $900 and my DK2 for $550 I'd almost break even after buying a second CV1.

    I also wonder how much the CV1 will sell for on ebay in the first couple weeks. I can't wait to get it and didn't buy it to resell it, but I just don't have time now because of Black Desert Online.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    I always assume when I see people say, "I make 300k a year doing X!" that they got paid $35 one time for 15 minutes of work and just extrapolated it for a full year. But lendarios is a good and honest man, and when he says he has a seven figure salary you can trust that he is a salaried...

    Set up my DK2 one last time, ran the config demo to get a SS of my Rift working, put it on to get one last sniff of that naseau inducing foam, take a good look at the screen door effect, the bad chromatic abberation and the heavy pixelation (I can still differentiate the red, blue and green bits...

    It hasn't been debunked, much less thoroughly debunked. The BBC article has the right of it The experimental results haven't been really verified one way or the other. The thrust is theorized to be caused by thermal pressure, but that hasn't been proven. Disgarded would be the better term...

    There's no casual PRX guild that you can get in without meeting the requirements, but there is a guild that has some people who are leveling in it. It only has a few people though.

    Who are you voting against the least?

    What I'm saying is that I estimate there to be a 66% chance of a Trump nom and an 80% chance of a Hillary nomination. Which means that the odds of a Trump vs Hillary race are about 50%. So the existence of all the other current candidates up there is totally legitimate. Is that the most...

    Who are you voting against the least?

    Of course it is. Expecting the unexpected doesn't mean you won't be surprised when it happens. It means hedging your bets by understanding the level of uncertainty surrounding our reality.

    Who are you voting against the least?

    Not even close to determined. People think it's certain because people don't anticipate surprises.

    There is BiS gear but it's not as hard to get geared as it is in AA. If you do the scroll dailies and generate regular revenue you can get geared relatively quickly and be competitive. GEtting to level 55 is more of a grind.

    The one good thing about the chat system is that alt 1-5 control which channel you're speaking in. It's a bit of an adjustment from having to type /t a_skeleton_03, /guild, /party, /say, before your messages but once you adjust it's much better. The bad part is that there's no /invite...

    An updated version of this: Make Millions with AFK NPC Trading : blackdesertonline Is what I started tonight. #1 thing is to get to 50. #2 thing is to do boss scroll dailies that you can only do at level 50. Everything else is beneath that.

    There's an open invitation for RR members to join PRX. It's not a casual "let's hang out and goof off" experience though. It's a serious and competitive guild with very specific goals.
