I kept thinking about the Hurston artwork, and esp. Lorville, with the workers there wearing the bag filter/masks, and kept thinking, "You know, that is cool and kind of believeable, but it's missing something..." Well, thanks to the engineers at Dyson, now I know what was missing to make it...

Pretty interesting video describing the gaming industry as it stands today. He didn't mention Star Citizen once...phew, we are safe! View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUrBlQaDkfM

I swear, how do people figure out these exploits? And why? besides greed, boredom, and "trying to get one over on the system", that is...

To top it off, I don't even like the way the paints look, for the most part. It is interesting to me the areas of the ships that are and aren't covered. Anyway, you'd think for a special event / holiday, they'd do something, well, "special" for the paints. Like, throw on a shamrock or...

Well, I'd say that Russia has been telegraphing their intent to take over Ukraine ever since they invaded in 2014, and tried annexing the Donbas region and Crimea. I've known that the Evil Empire returned ever since Russian forces shot down MH17, and then poisoned those people in the UK, and...

CIG is implementing Auto-zoom so when all their backers are geriatric we can still see what is happening on the screen lol

When the pandemic hit, I had a LOT more time on my hands at home...one of the things I started doing was watching Twitch streams, and it wasn't too long before I found a real interesting streamer who focused on Star Citizen primarily. One of the things he did was "science" things to try to...

My expectation --> it will be completely OP, everybody will buy one because it is the new "meta" and then a patch or 2 later, CIG will completely nerf it and release a brand new fighter... Lather, rinse, repeat, lol

I thought it went to the other side because I drop-kicked it after it got the RROD lol

Sorry, don't have time to read a wall of text, but saw the discussion of "315p vs. Avenger"... Just be aware, in lore, having an Origin ship is going to be a big social class distinction, so think of it as a tippy-top performance/luxury car of today, and ask yourself if the character would be...

I was never very good at the CCU game to begin with (took me 5 years to understand there was a CCU game to "game", tried it, figured out I sucked, lol) so I just stuck with buying the CCU and holding on to it until I was absolutely sure I wanted to upgrade. I'm still mad I upgraded my vanilla F7...

Great large scale study (using a US veteran population). Summary here: https://arstechnica.com/science/2022/02/covid-raised-heart-risks-63-for-a-year-after-infection-in-study-of-11m-people/ Original article here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-022-01689-3 TL:DR "people infected with...

oh baby, LTI - token city!

lol, my first reaction to that was, "Not gonna help all the mouth breathers"

It seems like, on top of all their usual issues, CIG put a new manager in at marketing (?) as well as elevated marketing's role inside the company, and now we are getting just crap shoveled at us. I get it, they need to increase their revenues as they expand, but they should just keep raising...

Interesting comparison of Gwyneth Paltrow and Joe Rogan, in terms of spreading healh misinformation and trying to profit from it: https://arstechnica.com/science/2022/02/joe-just-conversations-rogan-defends-misinformation-like-a-classic-grifter/

And Webb has arrived at it's destination! https://edition.cnn.com/2022/01/24/world/james-webb-space-telescope-orbit-scn/index.html I've been meaning to post this as well, they say they think they have enough fuel now for 20 years, and it is due to the brilliant performance of the ESA's Ariane...

Interesting, I was meaning to do a comparison of BTC and the S&P500 during 2021...haven't gotten around to it. It will be interesting to see if a bunch of people bail on BTC if it goes below $30k, I was reading that "reliable sources" were saying that was where a lot of people bought in, and...

Hello, nurse! https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jan/21/the-uk-student-nurse-who-has-caught-covid-four-times The last paragraph states: Gee, I wonder if it is because everybody at the hospital is rigorously following COVID protocols/precautions, such as wearing a a mask? 🤔
