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...

Billions.

No way I'm watching scato-zoophilia pr0n clips.

This, my friend, is where you may regret some of the laws from Europe notably the data privacy laws (which were much maligned in the old site in the ME thread, because Hitler). In Europe, the above is illegal. Your insurance company is not allowed to collect that type of information, and if...

It's even worse than that.

And that's not a good thing, because: 1) Google is going to pass on the price of premiums to Joe Bob the buyer of the Google car 2) Joe Bob now has no say in how much premiums he has to pay

It's even better when the company that manages your car security fires one of its employees, and the pissed guy sits at the computer and starts disabling every single car in alphabetical order.

Time to bump this back to first page. So, another author which I recommended heartily (I think) on the old site is Charles Stross. Main series is the Laundry Files which is the "computer geek is recruited by civil service to deal with lovecraftian stuff for her Majesty's Govt". Math is the...

Given the hilarious consequences if you have a Roomba and a pet that decides to shit on your floor, it needs a slight improvement in technology. I can picture human driving being forbidden on public roads if the statistics ever hit the point where "99 of the 121 road deaths last year were...

Had the same message, but it let me thru.

Team Valor all the way, man.

I was only doing invasions to get the staff to drop for xmog. Then I found out it wasn't included in live, which pretty much ended this pre-invasion stuff (since I have everything I want, plus a handful of pets, because unnecessary invasions).

Not to mention that they've already prepared that arc (when she meets Fred Johnson and tell him she'll need him to find someone later, book readers know what it's all about).

Although they probably underestimated the time eaten by helping production; they were publishing one book every year in June... except that this year, Amazon says it's pushed back to December...

It's not the first time, there's no Baleful off-hand, or similar stuff. It's like someone at Blizzard has a specific blindness about 1H requiring "something" in the off-hand.

I think the missing factor in those DPS calcs is your pokemon's ATK (which you can't see, only the overall CP). I'm not an expert, but the ATK (vs DEF?) modifies those dps moves. So the question is, how much Pidgeot's CP vs Electrabuzz's CP? If your Pidgeot is 500 cp behind, having the best...

Don't open the crates until you're 100 (or your inventory and bank overflows). That way, you get insta ilvl 700 gear.

Tokens are region-wide. Same price on every server on the area (NA or maybe just east/west coast, but I think NA).

Well, last thing I looked, Earth is rotating around Sagittarius A Black Hole so anything around here is not in Earth orbit.

Didn't think about that, but yea, I've seen that. I was also next to a red gym that was going down in rep. Gym goes grey, then back to red (duh?), I immediately put my Snorlax in it. The group next to me was "DAMN, A SNORLAX NOW!". Was tempted to smirk. (need more snorlax candy, it's...

Decision trees are stupid. They're barely better than fully scripted behavior. In term on content creation, they don't give you any manpower benefit over basic scripting. No wonder they didn't get purchased. A middleware "The Sims" simulation would be good stuff. A middleware decision tree is meh.

There's a lot of eggs here (Paris, France). The senate park has at least 2 or 3 of them up at any time, and a lot of spots pop them regularly. I don't even hunt for them, and have 140 candy waiting for one or two high IV one to pop with good moveset once evolved. There's been a Snorlax popping...

That's exactly the point. You get flying when you no longer need it, as a bonus for your alts who might make a use of it.
