Always good for a laugh!

Indeed, need gigolos with heroin addictions!

Personal recommendation, unless you really see a big advantage going to a specific business school I would just get an MBA and not sweat it. I've moved up without one into an upper management position pulling $130k a year (with a EE major) and honestly could push a tier up without additional...

Seriously sad at how far Square has fallen...the jokes write themselves for that skit.

In all seriousness, this forum is great because of the callous assholes that exist (from all sides). No one should ever get butthurt and leave, because then it'll just be a bunch of assholes that agree with each other and where is the fun in that!

Glad to hear this is turning out well. I had bought some awesome seats a few weeks ago, then found out I have to work this weekend (FML). Will be a week, but can't wait to see it! Love some good sci-fi!

To be fair, it is Thandie Newton; have had a thing for her since Interview with the Vampire! I do see him (asian dude) being one of the first story arcs to accept that the host have become self-aware.

Gets me every fucking time.

Yeah, the first think I thought of was "gee, why not hook the priest up with some l33t beta infoz and tell him the demon's name is Pazuzu". It does seem like the show is really pushing for something bigger than the original though. It's been enjoyable so far.

Has anyone messed around with personalcapital.com? I caught wind of it a little over a month ago during college football and signed up for the free side of it (they interface with your other investments, credit cards, bank, mortgage, etc. and give you a breakdown of the overall portfolio vs...

In no particular order Supertroopers Scary Movie 2 (terrible I know) Deuce Bigalow : European Gigolo (even worse, but...well, that's a huge bitch!) Ghostbusters Spaceballs

I will actively block those people - "I did not get there 10 minutes early to let your ass in"! The best is the stare down at the end and the anger in their faces (you have to stare and shake your head no...not happening). It is one of my small pleasures in an hour long commute. In a way, I...

Having grown up playing piano this blew my mind.

1kg of antimatter is insane. We have no way to produce anywhere near bulk quantities. Just goes to highlight how truly extreme interstellar travel is. As big of a nay-sayer as I may seem, I am not against the idea that there is some FTL travel out there. Now the small task of finding out how...

Exactly, it would only take a bit over 58 years to hit the Speed of Light if it tracked a linear path. However, as mass increases asymptotically as you approach c, the energy requirements on the top end get ridiculous. Realistically, you'd accelerate / decelerate for ~50 years and the rest...

Really appreciated your view and agree that at some level we have to figure out how to break humanity out of the vicious cycle of greed driven motivators and more into one where we look to help others. It's a hard sell, especially since the world tends to turn us all into cynical assholes...

I think their could be some truth to this. The interesting problem for me is how our financial systems are based around lending with the expectation of interest on return. Profit largely driven by volume of sales, which drives consumption (requiring raw materials and energy). Humanity also...

One of the creepiestly awesome gifs ever, lol. Those fucking racoons!

I've always thought an interstellar ark (or arks) would be the way for us to reach other stars. It would take thousands of generations, and in all likelihood the end-product would not be the same species as modern human due to significant environmental pressures, but the tech probably isn't far...

It would be a super long project. The fastest object man has ever made (the Juno spacecraft) travelled 165,000 miles per hour (45 miles per second) as it was pulled into orbit of Jupiter. The nearest stars are ~4 light-years away which would take damn near 16,000 years for us just to reach at...

From https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1405/1405.1025.pdf "...Life, if it manages to struggle along on such a planet, will be very hard or perhaps be underground. More likely a circular belt between the two sides - a sort of “twilight zone” - could be the...

Ah, that is a good point!

Assuming the density of this planet is about the same as our own would put it's radius at ~6920 km. The star is 12% of the sun's mass at 7.5 million km. The calculated tidal force proportionally compared to our own would only be a tad over 600x stronger. Surf's up!

That's actually pretty awesome. Cool to at least present options if something fucks up while riding a controlled explosion into space.

Well, it would be roughly 150,000* Megatons worth of energy (the Tsar Bomba was 50 Megatons). It would no doubt by an ELE and a bad day...preferable to be incinerated at ground zero (before it ever reaches the ground no less) than hang around for all the ejecta and nastiness afterwords...

The wife turned me onto these fine point pens and after using them a bit, I must say they are pretty badass. https://www.amazon.com/Moma-Muji-Point-0-38-mm-Black/dp/B00E391XXM

I should have clarified. I plan to buy when the market hits 12k. The idea would be to buy them "on sale". I specifically chose HOG because it gets slaughtered. It also saw a 9x growth after the last recession.

The technical indicators look sound to me (although I am admittedly pretty amateur). You're 5th requirement of having a dividend is key to my latest investment strategy. I'm looking to be contrarian and want the world to burn, so I've reallocated my assets to be 65/35 short-term vs. domestic...

Bleh, failing at attaching images...sorry for the dupe! Just trying to make this thread great again!

Mass of the ship is a big variable, and will be a function of the (dynamic) fuel source.

^ a bit of a derail, but this is actually something I have thought about when it comes to efforts like that of SETI. Why look at a large path of the sky? Why not focus on this small subset of stars that are actually in our galactic backyard. I would logically conclude that if there were an...

Or breed a stable full of machine-gun Johnny porn stars to finance his twilight years.

Not sure about guides (seems like no one has a definitive guide for this game, you may find some stuff pieced together here and there). The biggest advantage of connecting nodes is the increased drop rates you get when fighting in the area. You'll see a buff by your energy/contribution bars...

Labyrinth Willow Alien A Nightmare on Elm Street The Exorcist Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) C.H.U.D. (so terrible, but so awesome) Night of the Living Dead (1968) Secret of NIMH Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan (Motion Picture is good, but Khan was awesome) The Toy Child's Play...

Intox and Angerz summed it up well. Not your typical horror fare, but I enjoyed it. The end is really the only scary part (and it's more psychological / creepy than in-your-face scary). Well-made film, not for a casual audience.

Saw a link today where archive.org has added something like 2,500 old MS-DOS games. Have some pretty great titles too. Figured I'd post a link if anyone was interested. Full screen on the emulator seems pretty legit although I haven't had time to delve too deep...

Yup, liked a lot of his mixes as well.
