    The solution is always honesty. Unless someone has a belief in objective truth as a thing to be sought and obtained, there is only warring narratives. That is the essence of post-modernism, CRT, and Marxism. If you are in that bucket, there is no solution. There are consequences to turning...

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    I ask because I am vaguely familiar with a conspiracy theory that Bill Gates is involved in population control in the guise of vaccination, and that theory is the only one I know of that would result in violence. I wasn't aware significant numbers of people took it seriously, but if something...

    I think they have owned the issue by simply saying "we know this isn't accurate but it is a game, and this is more fun". Fact is faster weapons are easier to hit with and when they tried the instant to target Singe 2 Tachyon Cannons, they hit so often they created huge play imbalance. They...

    Is anyone familiar with the basis of this anti-vax argument? This is the first I've heard of them getting violent and I'm curious.

    One of the issues I think has been resolved is how NPCs respond to sound. They aggro against shots they can hear and they can't hear shots that are silenced, so having your NPCs shoot weapons wearing suppressors allows them to aggro against an opponent but makes them immune from aggro. I think...

    That is a very small part of the problem. I deal with people brainwashed by their propaganda often. Just because their news has rendered them mindless sheeple does not mean they can't reason like adults. You however are proof aganst all fact, truth and reason. You are not honest. How many...

    It's not that I disagree with you. It's that you lack honest intention. You continually go off discussion and we're just talking past each other. You realize as soon as Montoya reads this, he's going to close it down because you deliberately made it into a liberal rant. I don't appreciate it...

    For a long time I've mused over how to man a Polaris. It's the smallest ship to really demand my attention. The bigger ships seem too much for now. Putting a Polaris in the field seems needs close to 30 characters. First you need 5 bridge crew. You need 1 or 2 players to man the hangar and...

    It's not a good conversation. You think you're winning points in some contest when you constantly redirect to irrelevant issues. I'm unimpressed. I'm a philosopher by training. When I see a logical fallacy here or there I ignore it. When I see pages of distraction techniques I see someone...

    I'm sorry but it seem obvious we cannot have an intelligent and honest conversation on this topic. You are not able. Your politics bias every bit of evidence and you can't see straight. I think we need to end here. None of what you wrote is worthy of response except to say YOU ARE OUT OF...

    No. I'm not taking a position on the science at all. I'm saying what Paul Rand said is obviously, objectively true. Fauci claimed before Congress that there was no evidence the virus came from the Wuhan Coronavirus Lab when there was, and that his advisors said it was not engineered, at a time...

    No. Plasma is electrically charged matter, and matter is constrained to always move below the speed of light. As it approaches light speed the energy needed to increase the speed asymptotically goes to infinity.

    If you know any computing wizards, you might construct a PS3 cluster. https://phys.org/news/2010-12-air-playstation-3s-supercomputer.html in 2010, Sony disabled the ability of these machines to be clustered using other operating systems, but there appears a workaround...

    Have you had the HH out with 6 turret gunners? It ought to be amazing with a good crew.

    3.14 PTU Wave 1 is out

    Lots of positive response to the new combat system online. People are totally digging it and turrets have come into their own. I'm still frustrated it looks like we'll never see 3-5km range on standard guns again. OTOH, missiles seem to be working better. Just seems a shame an S5 laser...

    High power laser weapons have a beam divergence measured in thousanths of a radian, or mRad; however real world figures are usually classified. Point is the beams always diverge at some angle and so eventually become less useful. DoD is not going to tell us what the state of the art is here...

    If you don't believe DoJ is compromised, you have obviously never read the Nunes Memo nor understood it. 17 separate lies fabricated by the FBI and handed to the FISA courts with the express purpose to decieve the court and spy on a presidential campaign for their opponents--certainly the...
