There was a research paper a couple years ago that basically placed a limit at 8 civilizations in this galaxy. With 8, we'd have a 50% chance of having detected them by now, given our capacities and general SETI programs. The longer we watch and the better we are at it, the lower the cap...

Not only we already produce more than we could need, but if those anti-GMO activists were to stand down, we could probably squeeze a couple double digits of productivity out of existing farmland.

Type II? More like "oh hi, that's a nice solar system full of unused mass you have there."

Looks like the priest one has only 2 (from the list)

Oh, I switch specs, not just loot spec. That way, you see what equipment the quest gives you in that spec.

Happened to the speed leveler in my guild. You need to do some of the side quests, prof quests, and bonus objectives. Plus, this weekend, you can add some Darkmoon Faire quests (did anyone pick like 5 darkmoon artifact in their first dungeon?) I'm 5% to 107 and just started third zone...

And you can switch spec before turning in the quest if you don't care about the relic (because you have a better ilvl one, or one with a better trait bonus).

I use the in-game leader eval as a first filter, throw any that's not in the 100-80 range. Then I use Pokeassistant with the in-game eval info. The combination of checking (on pokeassistant) which stat was strongest, and eliminating 15-stat/non-15-stat depending on whether your leader figured...

Does he? DB says Ice & Dragon moves only. Cursory check on vulns says you'd probably want a Fire or Water based 'mon with Rock/Electric/Grass/Fighting attacks but there doesn't seem to be a good one, so Fire is probably the easiest compromise.

People are probably trying to unlock old appearances from tradeskills, which means they need to craft those things. WoD recipes are far more efficient to level, but, well, they don't give you old items.

As a Dwarf Cleric, I can... totally recognize that. Although "old man" would only be relative at the time. Only teens would call a late 30ish guy "old man".

If that's true, that's an immense an enormous red flag. So the guy manages to hatch an egg that contains one of the lowest probability pokemon possible (assuming it's non zero), and he does it just as the reporters from the newspaper are there?

You failed to consider the simple argument that there's absolutely no reason to introduce region-exclusive pokemons... and then add a trivial mechanic to bypass the region restriction in the form of eggs. At the moment, I'd be ranking the three possibilities in order of decreasing likelyhood...

Snorlax and Lapras are pure chance, but Slowpoke (to evolve into Slowbro) and Dratinis (to evolve into Dragonites) are doable if you have a lake, river or canals around. Basically, you're going to get "waterspots" there that have Magikarp, those uncommonly pop Psyducks and Slowpokes, and rarely...

We've seen a couple Tauros pop at arenas in Paris. Coincidentally, the Olympic ended the week before. Some people must have racked roaming charges hunting there :)

Apparently, they want it, and they want it now This could be Formula E’s autonomous Roborace car

Quantization is fixed-decimal calculations and Eisenberg Incertainty is allocating the N bits the spec allowed you to use per particle!

A galatic merge usually entails three things: 1) Orbital instabilities that will chuck a tiny percentage ( < 0,x%) of the stars out of their original galaxies into the intergalactic void. The rest of the stars may get shuffled around, but they're still in. 2) Gas clouds get slammed by incoming...

At the moment, they've announced that Brawler will be closed for the duration, meaning at least 7.0, if not 7.1. I'm assuming that the invasions will keep popping until 0:00 when the expansion is enabled.

Oh, you're in Paris? A quick highlights of good parks and areas: Trocadero (the other side of the Seine, from the Eiffel Tower) has a large variety of all kind of uncommon and one rare spot, but no special notable nest. The Luxembourg (you were there) had lots of Exeggcute last week, it's...

Pretty much that. I don't get much of that sweet endorphin release from exertion, so physical activity is only rewarded by abstract health risk that only materializes if you ever get a hearth attack, or by numbers on your blood tests that are affected by dozens of factors, only one of which is...

Well, the Titans can't be slaughtered, the Legion did it (at least according to the currently legal lore from the latest book). But the same book props the True Final Bad Guys™, who are the ones who sent the Old Gods to Azeroth, and which the Legion decided to fight by doing a Vietnam napalming...

Isn't that what Formula E wants to do?

He is apparently (finally) writing a sequel. Hope we get more Sula...

"Only 4.2 LY" There's a couple papers that put that in perspective; if you get a space probe to, say, 20% light speed so that it takes less than a generation to send it there, then any dust mote larger than 5 micrometer (the size of a large bacteria) blows your probe out of the sky, and lesser...

If you want the best in modern Space Opera authors, then you get, in my order of recommandation: - Banks, obviously (see above) - Alastair Reynolds. Anything from him. - Neal Asher, same. - James S.A. Corey (aka Ty Frank & Daniel Abraham) - Peter Hamilton (I include him there so you can have an...

France, the home of the one true Mr Mime, Mr Marceau himself...

I'm not talking pokeadvisor, I'm talking about a java app that trashes your 80 pokemons below 70% IV in less than 2s. (Although I think that, if you did use Pokeadvisor today, you would probably risk a ban).

Problem is that it wasn't that sustainable, he lost most of it to those chinese sweat shops, and properties like that cost a shitton of money to maintain. Which is probably why he's selling.

Better yet, try logging out in the middle of Kithicor just before Halloween, and relog a couple days after without having been told. That was in the days where /consent would let the guy loot your corpse; the bard who brought me back mine kept the cash, but I was so happy getting it with all...

Probably not. If only because one of the minor twist is when you realize one of the characters is a recurring one from previous books. All of the books from Banks are completely stand-alone, but the Culture ones occasionally reference events from other books in the same universe. Most people...

If you can, then you can have a cooperative positioning system with each add-on broadcasting your own position over the raid channel silent backchannel. According to Blizzard, if everyone complains equally about their class, that means they managed a good balance.

Colleague at work just go ban. He used a pokeadvisor-type app to access the pokedex, tag his mon by IV, and drop the low-level ones. No botting, just deck manager. Still banned.

Did check two other parks, one that was a Vulpix hotspot, and still has them, and one that was an Eevee hotspot who seems to have Kabutos all over. So, some rotation happened. The previous one was 3 or 4 weeks ago?

The parks area around here are still overcrowded with people nose on their phone. Heck, even the homeless guys say "any good pokemon?" when you pass next to them... By the way, did they rotate nests again last Friday? The small park where I used to get Electabuzz all the time (4 spots...

Don't worry, Sanderson will write the 7th book in any case...

One of the great benefits of Jihodji's challenging argument from authority (in a thread that shall remain unnamed, lest you be bored to tears by philisophical and logic nitpicking) is that it had me revisit some interesting SF books, namely some of the Culture books by the late Iain M. Banks if...

I have three "high" level Snorlaxes, all caught legitimately. The sight of 100 people cramming thru a small bridge trying to get to the Snorlax that's currently up is a sight to behold. (I forgot to take a picture, but the common rush to Vaporeon in Central Park vid is peanuts compared to that...
