Grimaces As though deserts were somehow magical "dead zones" we could afford to lose. On the other hand, we might reach a point where controlled ET impacts could be the only near-term way to generate the net cooling we need to s

That's... a pretty big rock. Honestly, that's more like a sci-fi candidate for "bubble-forming" with some hypothetical fusion-powered reaction, and I don't mean deuterium-tritium fusion either.

Thanks, that's really kind of you to say.

Well lets see... are there any economies that depend on mining? It seems like it would cause quite a stir.

>Why tungsten? Dense. Great thermal properties, unlike say lead, steel, or iron which would burn up on re-entry. Kind of the ultimate fuck-you to the life when you think about it... ...First because of the obvious utility for anyone who

I hope you're right; this is a situation in which I'd be more than happy to be look back in a year and eat my words. I grew up with Nintendo, and was a loyal customer through the Gamecube. I still love their mobile offerings. I wo

Hey... truth in advertising; you will no longer have indigestion. Reason prevails!

Oh come on, reasonable people stand in front of the Bi-213 source and don't complain.

I did miss it! Thanks, this made my day. There was a movie from the late 80's, early 90's... and I remember a pimp with platform shoes that were also an aquarium. This... is better.

Just about the coolest little critters on Earth! They're cute, they can survive just about anything reasonably thrown their way from hard vacuum to radiation, and now this. It makes me happy to know that regardless of how badly we as a

It's simple... I was responding to: "Valve has made more money catering to traditional video game types than Fee2PlayRobbery#8816732 ever has or will." I disagreed with that statement, and still do... it's that simple. V

In the same way that a casino does. This is really not complicated.

They're definitely not replenishing stocks of some DVD's, which I suppose makes sense given the trend. I would assume if they get a certain number of requests they probably do though? Or is that my wishful thinking?

I hear you. It's one of the few things that actually elicits a physical response me from... a kind of shiver of anxiety. I put time and effort and maybe even a little bit of myself into my music lists... it's personal!

I've been following that through the UK news... what a hell of a thing. After Vietnam, and now with footage of these things, it seems clear that there is a truly strong desire to Not Know about some things. We'd just rather beli

I suppose it makes more sense, given the scope of most people's lives at the time, than the notion of a planned route from start to finish. As I understand it, the "Road" was less a journey for a single merchant, as it was th

...Because someone might try to harm you with one, intentionally... as in this case?

That is one reason I've always preferred to control my music directly. Music in particular is something I can't stand to have discontinuity of playlists and collections with.

Your argument amounts to, "Murder is stabbing, only stabbing. Valve shot people, never stabbed!" I remain bemused, and unimpressed both by your argument, and your tone.

Did you recommend it to someone you knew to have seizures, with the intent to cause a seizure? I'm not really buying this whole trend in this thread of arguing what amounts to, "I should be able to fire my gun into a crowd, it&#x2

This guy didn't stumble across a dangerous animation, it was sent to him in the knowledge that it might hurt him. Presumably in his daily life he doesn't do a lot of raw Google image searches. What you're saying is, "You

I don't know, which was Valve in those cases? Besides, you're the one arbitrarily deciding that f2p = pay for rounds only.

So if you take all of those precautions, and then I send you a letter coated with (for example) peanut extract... you what... shouldn't get mail? Should you have seen my assault coming?

This isn't even close to a gray area! The analogy would be finding out that your target is in a given theater, where you then yell "fire!". This was targeted and pre-meditated; the result and the intent were one and the s

This is true for any airline, but there is something (like the story in this case) called "CAT" or Clear Air Turbulence.

That's absolutely correct, and I added a "/s" to clarify that. I should never forget Poe's Law after all. Thanks for giving me the benefit of the doubt.

Both depend on placing arbitrary limits on the victim of a crime, to excuse the perpetrator's behavior. It's not a crime to fail to take adequate precautions; it's a crime to try to rob someone, or harm them.

Oh god. It might be a better outcome for the actual vessel, but... You know, I think you'd just see a radical re-design in that case, you'd have to; like the Zumwalt, only more armored.

Right. If I can break into your house, I should get your stuff. You should have had better locks and thicker doors. /s

Except for the part where it's completely different, and you decided to play the, "doesn't understand what you mean" game first. I like to think that if you had a good point, you'd be making it, and that it wouldn&#
