The "in our world" is very important. I mean, if you think about it, that's what you tell people. No one recounts his great moment of the quest line for the staff of whatever (that you replaced 3h later). Or even the awesome cutscene of the the Gates of Icecrown. I mean, you mention "that's...

Not very much in visible light. Because they're cool (no H2 fusion), they're mostly bright in infrared. (which is why all those artist concepts of TRAPPIST-1 are absolutely junk)

It's quite possible that the causation is reverse; he was gigantic because he had underlying development problems.

Your thoughts? Reuse launch, Falcon Heavy launch reschedule, crewed launch this autumn, or they are building an antigravity Dragon 3 spaceship?

It would be an enormous shame if it got canceled before at least season 4. There's going to be 9 books in the series, and I would hope we'd get S09 someday, but given the fickleness of viewership and network execs, that's not guaranteed...

Time to repost this awesome video: [ note: when it shows 1 light day... the 2 voyagers aren't there yet, as they remind us

I think that it's absolutely horrifying when you stumble upon these kind of video ... and you realize the only 3 MMO on these lists that are not asian combat grinders are... Pantheon, Crowfall and Elyria (all crowdfunded). (and also, wtf is that with all these MMO that look exactly the...

That's because it is the book ender rather than the season ender. Now we move into book 2 territory (minus the bits already injected in S1). There's an interview somewhere where the showrunners said that, if they had a 13-episode run for season 1, they would have tried to fit the full book 1 in...

One of the thing you see clearly on this are the two Lagrange clusters of Jupiter, where gravitational interaction creates "fake planets" that asteroids orbit. Called the Trojans and the Greeks clusters respectively, of course.

On the subject of infrastructure hacks... While most of you would have been unaffected because 2 years ago, OVH was only starting to get the NA market, OVH's old support forums were hacked. Apparently, they simply forgot to turn off the forum when they migrated their old vBulletin stuff to new...

Might be related to the SHA1 collision proof that google did this week?

Her world-view will be very much altered by protomolestuff, but her character is undergoing quite a few changes compared to the books. For instance, since all the UN characters are from book 2, but were injected in book 1's story, she's in a very different position. If you take Avarasala's...

VASIMR is supposed to undergo real tests real soon™. And it's not the surnatural EMDrive.

The biggest problem for those is that such a star is probably flaring a bit, and will strip the atmosphere of any close planet in a short order. And the system is tiny and probably without much in terms of cometary halo, so no source to replenish that except internal vulcanism. So, while it's...

There's a couple bits of book 2 pulled in Season 1; the earth-based characters are all from book 2. There's relatively little in terms of plot from book 2; but there's a few bits toward the end that give away the big bad from book 2 (they simplified the story a bit in terms of evil corps. Too...

Haven't seen the ep yet, but there's an article on io9 and they mention: So, Prax's daughter is in, which means he is, although I didn't see them on imdb's list of characters.

So, with those new pokemon, what are the ones worth boosting for attack or defense if you have a 95%+ IV one?

The balance between book 1 & 2 is odd. There's a lot of the same general storyline, with different corps and different mad scientists. This is why they added Mao and most of the additional characters from book 2 (save Bobbie which came on S2 and Prax, which doesn't seem to be there) appear in...

I cheated, I looked him on IMDB and he's still there for a few episodes. I do expect him to be a replacement character for Manéo Jung-Espinoza

Blues also said that the math was temporary, and the numbers, both for AK and AP, were going to wiggle a lot for the next builds.

I even built a mage tower just to get shortcuts to raid entrances :)

They've already said that the Tomb will not unlock along with 7.2. They're including it and doing basic testing because it's probably before 7.2.5, but they're going to tweak the numbers on PTR during early 7.2...

Side note for those who follow it casually: new Season 3 chapter is now unlocked; log-in to make sure you get it enabled for your account.

Since 7.1.5, yea. Takes forever, addons or no.

She appears originally in book #2. The season 1 is 3/5th of book 1, plus a couple of additions from book 2 they felt were necessary. Because otherwise, there would be nothing about earth or mars at all, it would be all belt, and earth "too much in the background". So they pulled Avasarala early...

It's dead. I keep them "mostly" running because, believe it or not, there's a couple of missing xmog items, so every 2 or 3 weeks, I have an expedition to catch a loot chest and roll for xmog. That and the archeology every 2 weeks. Otherwise, if I check the garrison, I send ships and followers...

This is probably why S1 & S2 are a mashup of book 1 & book 2, with bits of book 2 ending up in season 1 (Jules Mao, the UN bits) and the resolution of book 1 being the first 5-6 episodes of S2. Which is also a problem, because they introduce Bobbie Draper as the very first scene of S2, but her...

That way, you make sure you don't let vampires sneak in.

Don't worry, you're going to go to GMO wheat soon Rothamsted Research submits application to Defra for permission to carry out field trial with GM wheat plants There is no escaping frankenbread now!

That is, until your number is disconnected by the automatic account management for "failing to settle outstanding bills" because no one has access to the Iridium offices anymore.

South Asia is pretty much MMO central for awesome graphics along with poor gameplay.

COINCIDENCE??!? Just at the annual meeting of Inserm (French NIH), and there's a presentation by the head of Ethic council here that just laments the abysmal rates of vaccination against Hep-B and HPV in France, "possibly due to lack of trust in scientific integrity".

It was released on Nov 2004, so you'll have to wait until nov 2017 for that 13th year anniversary.

Secret mind-enhancing drugs from KGB experimental programs. Anything for Russia First!

Strictly speaking, it's not LitRPG; no virtual game/VR world or even portal fantasy. But yea, once I picked that, my suggestion list doubled in size with all sort of virtual world stuff. Noticed your Way of the Shaman, might get a look later. Another set of novels that came from the suggestion...

Homo Sapiens already went thru a genetic bottleneck. Prior to our expansion out of Africa, the estimates are that at one point there was less than 10K humans around. Save for a handful of % DNA from neanderthal or denisovans that were out before, every single one of the 7+ billion people on...

Yea but TMDB has slightly more spoiling one-line description. I guess everyone will have a major shock on ep 5... (and I didn't expect them to move stuff so fast)

My main beef is that they start a bit too slowly with Sgt. Draper. We all see she's a badass and all, but unless you're a book reader, there's absolutely nothing to tell you she's important to the series. She ships to Phoebe, they all go rah-rah-rah, and then... nothing happens (Phoebe gets...

Wakefield hoped to peddle the new adjuvant he had invested into. If he could get the industry to switch to his product for their vaccines, he'd make millions from royalties.

When you're my age, you watch TV with what's in front of your couch, like everyone else did in the days! If it's not 44", it's not TV!
