I think the Han "story" was kind of ok. It led you to feel why it's a cynic character by Ep4. His mentor was a cheater, his love basically threw him away for power, Lando he had to throw down just to get the Millenium Falcon (because Lando loves to cheat anyway)... It's just that the rest is...

Need to get prepared for that sweet 1000 different pets achieve in BfA: Master of Minions (I added a couple of raid pets this weekend, it had been a long time)

If anything else, it's that her rabid anti-communism and hatred of all things Soviet is what made her write that novel. If anything, it's because of that background that she couldn't keep it at reasonable and believable levels and went all full fantasy.

Every time someone takes Rand's writing seriously, I bring back the standard quote

I worked next door to Arianespace back in the 90s. And by next door, I mean, I just had to go thru a pair of doors and I would be in their main office. The VIP launch lounge was kickass (never got invited to see one). I saw first hand how the space agencies worked. I knew that day the french...

It's Uber. It's Agile. Nobody has to approve this kind of shit, just deploy man. Just deploy.

It's been a decade at least, but I think the back of my brain remembers the weirdness of the launcher. My conscious mind has certainly blotted all details about it. It wouldn't work for no discernible reason, then sometimes work, then stop, then work. No coherence from day to day.

That imgur link is a spam repost of the original just to add the link. It's probably not going to live very long on imgur...

Saw it yesterday. It's an evening showing, first day... the theater was barely half full (friend and I were slightly agog at that). Non-spoilery review: it's meh. Well below Rogue One. Solo himself is ok, I think, but the rest is not that good. P3 notably is fairly stupid in "her" comic relief...

Don't. Just don't. Even a pirate version that yields zero rights to the studio. Let's say that the post-credit idea of blowing your own brains before you even read the script is... a very good idea.

There's a lot of research and development for this, but mostly on the deorbiting stages. Every modern sat is required to provide a deorbit method so that it burn in the atmosphere instead of fragmenting and increasing orbital fragment space. It turns out that having a deorbit system using...

Finished the latest Neal Asher ("The Soldier"). If you like books with absolutely twisted plots, and barely glimpsed hints into sur-human AI, it's the man.

News on the EM Drive front: NASA’s EM-drive is a magnetic WTF-thruster TL;DR: It's the interaction of the cone with Earth's magnetic field that generate the magic trust rather than Space Unicorns pulling it...

If Amazon gets the international rights (since apparently Netflix wasn't interested, they might also be dropping for the rest), I might finally get Prime next year...

Love the next episode preview

The very first thing they're talking about is how Stark is still missing. So, why assume that Hill is working for Fury rather than with Fury?

Faction discount applies, so it's "only" 4M in fact...

Which is why you get dirigibles as martian transports in this (old but always good) video:

Now that's a meme I can get behind:

Legacy code is a swear word in every computer industry field. Every. Single. One. Before my stint in MMOs in the 2000s (worked on Ryzom), I worked in telco. Now, for legacy code, imagine that you are going to deploy systems, and you will have a 20-year maintenance contract (which was the...

It's going to be very, very hard to prove malicious intent. Unless someone litterally skimmed the money to purchase (non-pixels) boats and houses and whatnot.

Not surprised. They are now short on cash (they no longer reimburse anyone. ever), so they won't let people avoid paying real $. It's entering the end-game. I give them one, two years before the fake spaceship scheme finally collapses.

Well, ULA now has serious problems. But at least they launched InSight first.

Mars waits for no man ('s comfort viewings)...

What's the nickname? Tomb of soakgeras?

My guess would be that half of the hints we get in the movie won't pan out. Because it is entertaining (for the Russo) to see how much fans can elaborately construct theories about what's coming from the hints placed. I mean, I could be wrong about the gauntlet mold on Nidavellir. It could be a...

This is Avengers 3. And then Avengers 4. If you noticed, every thread and every major action involves one or more of the original Avengers. The only exception is the small part where the GotG lose Gamora. So, since this is Avengers 4 and not Dr. Strange 2, all the theories by which Strange saves...

Even with Luclin. Back when we were heading into the SSRA mines, we (Tide @ Tunare) were acting on a bunch of possible hints about Emperor Bane weapons. Nobody knew about them (or at least nobody was talking, and we were moderately confident we might be the first guild on Tunare to figure it...

Don't forget that Andromeda is much bigger than our pitiful small Milky Way...

Natalie Portman is absolutely not interested in the slightest in coming back.

Vision is going to be rebooted by Shuri. However, he's turned into Monochrome Vision, which is an entirely different person in the comics. To the dismay of Scarlet Witch who will lose her Wanda Lovetoy™.

Yesssss!

Eitri IS a fantasy dwarf.

Dinklage's "don't care a shit" brow fits Tyrion, so he nails the role. The problem is that he can't do anything else, so he's been meh in pretty much every movie ever.

A few people have said that the gauntlet appears to have burned itself out. So he has the stones, but he hasn't got a full-on power gauntlet. Not anymore. The only one who has a gauntlet (without stones) is Eitri. (so yes, more Dinklage in Avengers 4). Wild speculation: we don't have Star Lord...

An extremely good video about rocket exhaust. "Once you've seen it, you can't unsee it" (and he's right; mach rings ftw) Beware: french accent.

Yea, Weaving said he's never doing him again.

Unnecessary excess drama. Macdagger looted A Big Fat Necklace "Hey Mac, the officers think this should go to the MT healer" "LOL, going to equip now, it's mine" Macdagger was kicked from the raid Macdagger was removed from the guild

Local cineplex has 2 normal, 1 3D at the same time (9 normal showing, 4 3D showing per day).

Yes. The question is no longer "is the book coming year XXXX", it's now "is the book coming before or after his death?"
