There are craters on Venus, but only large ones as smaller impactors burn up and medium sized ones explode, with the smaller pieces then burning up, due to frictional heating as the atmosphere is 90x more dense than Earth's. Only truly massive impactors make it to the ground there and you won't...

A thought from the last episode... Is Victor like Relm from FF6, in that the drawings he makes somehow affect reality (maybe he isn't aware of this because of his mental capacity)?

Wheel of Fortune, but all of the puzzles are hard-R rated. Ryan Reynolds is the host.

Ken was one of the best drivers out there. His Gymkhana videos were always a fun watch. Sad to see him go.

I wouldn't say mine is a theory (or even a hypothesis), but I have a hunch that too much of a good thing isn't just a saying. The MTOR pathway for example is key for protein synthesis and muscle growth and is central to strength training and hypertrophy in the form of eat in a calorie surplus...

<edit> I reread my original post and see the confusion as I had a typo. The correct macros are... 60 fat 30 protein 10 carb So, yeah 30% carb would be too much. </edit> Yeah, I'm intentionally staying on the high side as I've also got some strength/physique goals and want to be as muscle...

So I had done much of that but maybe not to a large enough degree. I added nutritional yeast as I don't have a lot of B vitamins from food sources (suspect I pass through most of what is in my morning multivitamin). That didn't seem to make much of a difference, but I do think it makes sense...

I'm not sure if this is an issue or not, but it's a difference and one I don't fully understand... So my wife and I are working through a ketogenic diet cycle. I was kind of curious as I'd never done it and there is some evidence to suggest the alternative metabolic pathway can help restore...

They were gay in the books. Pullman was pretty anti-church in HDM (they are the bad guys pretty outright) and this was a jab at that.

This looks way better than a movie about a bear doing cocaine has any reason to be.

Came back across this after seeing it a year ago. Still blows my mind...one of the most impressive strength progressions I've ever seen.

I picked up a hitchhiker the other day. As we were driving along he asked me if I was concerned that he could be a serial killer. I replied that the odds of there being two serial killers in the same car were extremely low.

I thought she would be a perfect Samus after seeing her in Dredd.

Has anyone had weird instance crashes lately? I had one yesterday on wave 16/30 in a Simulacrum where I died, but then couldn't get back in. Each time I would end up at the login screen with "an unexpected disconnection occurred". Today running a 100% delirious Crimson Township with all kinds...

So I've been playing a Venom Gyre Deadeye this league and so far it's been pretty painless to 95. Damage feels really solid and I still have several upgrades that will push effective health and damage further. I also like it because it feels like a hybrid range/melee build (the whirling blades...

One thing I started a few leagues ago that seems to work well. Create a few tabs at fixed price and progressively walk the cost up as the league goes on. For whatever reason, when you change the price a few items sell (I'm assuming because it looks like it was just listed). You can then...

Not sure who that is, but on a similar note I can't get Lazslo out of my head when I hear Kirac.

So dicking around this morning, I run a Kirac mission with a divination card (he tells me I really want that card, #jlawyeahok). I'll be damned if I don't get a full stack of these. Why does this happen at the end of a league and not the beginning!? lol

Anyone figured our why the predator would use his homing darts when his helmet clearly isn't on his head? This is the question that keeps the movie back for me...makes no sense.

I think the cloaking was only used when what they were hunting had projectile weaponry. I noticed this one wasn't armored so much as the others so maybe that was an effort to balance the risk vs reward scale? I've always thought of the predators hunt to he more like big game hunts in Africa...

I had some hail damage repaired last year and had a PPF on my car and this came out looking like new. I think this group exclusively moved from place to place and setup shop seasonally to do hail work with insurance. They had it done in a two days, set me up with a rental, and gave me a $100...

I caught this yesterday afternoon and it really was a pleasant surprise. Some of the silliness reminded me of Hitchhiker's Guide and skirts the edge of being too ridiculous and fitting in with the world(s?) they made. It was also a lot more sentimental (perhaps a bit philosophical even) and...

Just pickup a totem or ballista for the fight if you don't already have one. You can then have them eat the rolling balls and not have to deal with that garbage.

Yeah, I had an issue with filterblade's loot filter as well. Just use a text editor like notepad++ and you can find the segment causing the issue by looking to the line it can't parse and remove it (for me it was a specific cluster jewel it didn't like).

Today was a good day; Warlord's Ex slam on a ring I've been using to get Vuln on hit.

Just posting this in case it helps someone else out. I've had issues with the POE crashing if I alt+tab longer than a minute or so and after 3.17, the game would just crash immediately. This only happens with Vulkan, but DX11 is unplayable. So I've started playing in Windowed Fullscreen which...

I knew coming into this that there would be a good bit of stuff changing as the series is almost 12,000 pages long over 14 books, no way in hell they will film a series that spans all of it, nor should they (pacing in book 7-11 is hot garbage). I don't think the series is a trainwreck, but it's...

Finally got around to watching this and it's really well done. I enjoyed that the plot was original and Rebecca Hall was fantastic. Agree that you should just watch it vs reading anything ahead of time. You can probably figure it out before the climax, but it was really satisfying to think of...

Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman. I had been working myself to death and finally had a vacation a few weeks back. I was wanting to read some horror (which I enjoy, but it's hard to find things truly original or scary) and came across this book. It's set in France during the Black...

Yeah, this movie wasn't great. Some of the concepts are interesting, but the plot never pieced them together in a meaningful way. The storytelling, quite literally, failed to respect Chekhov's gun (i.e. if you show a gun, there should be a gunfight) which made the 'climax' dull. It was hard...

Line scan cameras can capture some interesting shots too for things that are moving (relative to the image) considerably faster than the scan rate.

I'm working on a brownfield integration of similar automated material delivery for our manufacturing plant and there are a lot of pieces of tech that you have to figure out to make it all work together. It's cool to see it working, but damn that would be depressing for it all to burn down. I...

I mean Abbott did say there would not be a mask requirement in Texas. Between this and the schools (and no doubt others), it will be interesting to see who blinks.

https://generationiron.com/john-meadows-dies/ Just saw John passed away today. Dude was only 49, sucks.

I stumbled upon this yesterday and got a kick out of it. The time our Navy thought it would be cool to land (and take off) a C-130 Hercules on an aircraft carrier. No tail hook, no JATO, just a big old balls and the military's version of "hold my beer". Reversing the props while still in the...

Remember that when refinancing you're going to also add closing costs back into the mortage and resets the amortization schedule. So add another $2-4k depending on how that goes for the $70k you have remaining and consider that if you plan on selling anytime soon, you won't have pulled much...

Blombamp having a go at horror.
