    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    DISCLAIMER: I stopped playing during Savage Deltascape when I moved from the UK to US and haven't picked it up since. I played with a controller. I configured the hotbars (crossbar, but whatever) to switch depending upon if my weapon was drawn and put things like mounts, ports, etc, on the the...

    Parent Thread

    💯 My philosophy on this topic is "if I am angry, I am not parenting. I need to be the grown-up to parent, so I need to be calm". Make rules, stick to them, but be calm and collected about it (barring risk of immediate physical danger). On the topic of rules, my six year old is already capable...

    Buy a doorframe pull-up bar for home. I have mine in the doorway from the office to the kitchen and I do a few pull-ups every time I walk through that doorway.

    The Astronomy Thread

    The physics should be reasonably straight forward: the speed of the blades generates a difference in pressure above and below the blade. This translates into a downward force. That downward force offsets gravity allowing the helicopter to go up. Without doing the full calculations, I can do a...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    I have commented on this once before: Mineral redistribution and their presence in unusual combinations will be present on our planet for a tremendous length on the geological record, so I am not sure why you would think that there will be no record or that they wouldn't be able to see that we...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Inspired by @Lithose post about the scale of the universe, I thought I would share a video about scale in the other direction for living organisms. It is an interesting watch, except for staphylococcus, which can eat a dick for taking my father from me this weekend.

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    I will guess more than zero. My thinking is: Modern phones use screens made from ion-hardened glass (potassium-sodium ion replacement) or synthetic sapphire. One of these buried in the ground will remain untransformed effectively indefinitely in some form because glass is geologically stable...

    Good catch. It is absolutely a 20kg bar. I was in bed most of Sunday getting a different kind of workout so I was a bit sloppy typing on my phone and probably switched my brain from 45lbs to 20kg mid thought in my rush to get this out and back to her. And actually, I have already added 5kg...

    I wouldn't spend the money just yet, and would just focus on getting into a routine first. I work out to five days a week (ish?). I do the same routine every day (prison style repetition). I bought a 40kg bar and a gym mat, that's it. I am nearly three months in and have solid results. Better...

    MSNBC gave us all the physics explanation we need: if the plane is fired from a handgun, it won't take off because it isn't moving fast enough. If the plane is fired from an AR-15, the plane will take off but will kill every person onboard.

    Fucking cupcake roses are hard; I am going to need to practice for months to "get gud". Anyway, chocolate chiffon cake ports well to cupcake with a bit of added oil to keep them moist. I may need to adjust the heat as the tops are firmer then I would ideally like. I am going to have to barbecue...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The reason crafting hasn't fucked the economy in FFXIV is because the economy was already fucked by the lack of Gil sinks so there is rampant inflation that makes any potential impact of other things like tradeskills immaterial.

    I just shaved. I look like I am about five. Yesterday, I did 164 push-ups in my morning workout while today was 134; clearly, a beard is a source of a man's power. How did I forget? I am so sad for my loss. :(
