Not sure if I missed it, but can we tell which way the accretion disk is from our view of it?

It definitely has a lot of potential for gaming, look at the unreal engine port. Even if that's all it really ends up being, that is still a pretty big deal. I've been wanting to use it for some b2b applications, or maybe for some

But there is a lot of people at work right now, on their desktop and laptop.

This was my point, though you put it much more articulately. People used to make websites because they were enthusiastic about The Smashing Pumpkins, Fight Club, or their EverQuest guild. Now they make sites for a business. Business ruined

This is why I hesitate to even speak up about this era, as I'm definitely not knowledgeable enough. But I find it all so fascinating. It's easy to see these people as fictional characters, but the realization that they were real a

If you see what he did at Alesia, Axona, etc, you can tell he was a patient and genius general. He did many things we find horrible, but also enacted many reforms at the expense of wealthy aristocrats, and put Gauls in the Roman senate. I f

I found it interesting, while watching Historia Civilis, that Julius Caesar was not the first powerful general of his time to float the idea of becoming the King. Pompey, seemed to be Caesar's role model, and had a very similar traject

I don't live in New York or LA, so to some people I might as well be a hill-jack. But I very much appreciate as much space as possible. I've also noticed a huge increase in full or partly remote positions in recent years. It'

Maybe the future is kids figuring out that they don't need to live in the city. It's the city's fault if they want to push potential employees out.

That's why I think it comes down to what your using the book for. If it's a resource for something, then digital just makes sense. If it's for blowing your mind with a story about Flagg and the super-flu killing almost everyo

>Chuck Palahniuk I've been reading his books since I found out who wrote Fight Club in 1999. My brain does NOT want to remember how to spell his name. It makes me feel like I have a learning disability.

There's probably quite a few people who appreciate this approach, and would work together nicely with this guy. Lord knows I've worked with some smart people who acted like the sun rises and sets on their choices and methodology.

Not having my parents on the platform was one of the things I liked about Facebook when I first started up my edu account in college. MySpace was still more popular, but Facebook was where all of my college friends could be found. For me, i

The story just kept going. I thought it would be over after the initial hiding under the bed and the men leaving his room, but it was only the beginning. It's amazing this man is still alive.

That is pretty interesting, Texas seems to be pretty business positive in every aspect it can be. I continue to wonder how much Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos has hurt the prospects of other female entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley, and startu

I like watching Hoarders because it motivates me enough to get up and clean my room Peterson-style. Lingering and non-useful junk feel like tiny weights in my mind, so its a relief when it's gone. When you watch the show you always end

I guess I'm lucky that I'm not important enough for anyone to bug me, besides taking amazing video of me going at it with my hot wife going at it in a hotel. Now that I think about it, someone would hit the jackpot if they got us

As someone living in the US, I have to agree, I'm getting shot at by the police on a daily basis. They are the devil incarnate.

You're definitely right that, we haven't been able to. It seems we have guesses based on assumptions based on peripheral observations. Like I said, I would love to find out that there is, but I haven't seen anything that has

I guess finding that instance of life would go a long way to proving that it's just a statistical probability. I'm just a doubter by nature. I sometimes wonder what people's motivations are for looking for the things they do.

Yes, we all use reddit. But it makes me sad that all the content is located in a handful of places. And all of that content is regulated by the reddit company. /b/ is much closer to what things used to be like, but since there was

Man, I'm really glad to have some confirmation that I'm not crazy and that page really existed. I recall spending hours reading his reports, it always sucked me in somehow. I think he was actually a good writer.

I've been on a rant lately about how much I miss the wild west days of the web, 33k connections and all. I used to visit a blog (it was basically a blog, but probably 5 years before I'd heard the word blog) written by a guy who wa

I think you're talking about the warping to the negative worlds. In the 80's we found out about a wall clipping method to get to the first warp tubes, but you ended up going to negative world numbers which never have an ending.

I'm not as usually concerned about this as some are, but I appreciate that others are. As much as I enjoy Google products, I want there to be 50 other options out there that work great and have their own advantages. I wish there was mo

Yeah, I have no doubt that it did. Powerful tools can be a double edged sword. A method of communication doesn't put evil in someone's heart. Maybe they'll find a way to boot them off Facebook, but then they'll just use
