I would tend to agree. Sometimes, people are just oblivious. They don't interact with the world around them. So when they are out in the world, they don't use common courtesy simply because they don't even register the people around them. They block isles because they don't notice other...

This video is one of my favorites. It shows the relative size and distance between planets in a functional way. On the subject of the future though, I feel we are primed for a new revolution. The discovery of fossil fuels catapulted human civilization to industry. The discovery of the...

Too true. When I do come across people like that, the first thing that comes to mind is "You remind me of the lazy, disrespectful shit I had to fire the other day". Test has been great for my view of the online community though. We don't always agree. We have a wide variety of opinions and...

Suddenly I am craving King Crab....

This is pretty much my choice in gameplay. I'm up for a fight, but don't usually go looking for them. The exception to that is the occasional bout of group play where we all actually go looking for trouble. Some amazing pvp sessions have taken place that way. They are usually alcohol soaked...

So let me start by saying that I tend to be an antisocial. To me it's not a function of antisocial disorder (although it very well might be). Rather in my head, it is a lack of tolerance for society. In the real world I see a complete lack of politeness, respect, and courtesy. People block...

We're not entirely on different pages. That's the thing with this argument. It attempts to polarize and divide people. What you propose isn't very different from what I would propose. I had a friend that can no longer legally purchase firearms in the US. His rights were revoked because he...

Why wouldn't it be about stopping violence? Isn't that the point? The death of a beating victim is no less tragic than one in a mass shooting. Mass shootings actually are an extremely small percentage of violent deaths. They're just as tragic, but why focus on them and ignore all the other...

This haunts me. Like I wrote earlier, I was a prison guard for a couple years. I worked at a medium/maximum security prison. The people I guarded seemed like normal people, on the surface. Underneath those facades though, are people that have done the most despicable acts for the most...

I voted guns good. It's not just recreation, even though I enjoy shooting for a hobby. It's not just the "prevention of tyranny", even though I agree with the need. It's because it is my job to keep my girls safe and come home every night. I take that job VERY seriously. I know from...

I see you a steak pic and raise you a steak. This particular one occurred shortly after I landed on the way I cook steaks now. Here's my process. The first is the selection. I mainly look for the marbling. Sometimes it's a ribeye, sometimes a New York, and sometimes a T-bone. The...

I'd be game if I didn't already have a group. I'm pretty lucky on that. We have a weekly group that plays at our house. Some of them have actually been with us for over 4 years. Tabletop games can turn out amazingly epic when you have time to play characters for long periods of time. We've...

Please don't misunderstand me on this one. I make no assumptions about anyone involved with cryptocurrencies. Nor do I make assumptions about anyone's ethics or standards. I don't know anyone personally and we could all be millionaire corporation owners for all I know. So with that in...

There are some glaring issues with bitcoin that most people.... sidestep. The first is the investment. This is in both time and money. The time spent researching, building, maintaining, etc is better spent on a part time job. You'd make more money. The money investment, is better spent...

I like where you're headed here. What if, it's never 100%? Let's say you can "launder" a ship. You can get fake registrations and have it altered in the general database. However, as you suggest, what if it only gets you 90% of the way. Let's say that last 10% is a main database that...

That's no joke. There was some twisted shit that went down there.

Not for laser chainsaws!

Fixed a typo for you there... Honestly though, as easy as it is to both achieve and keep a license here in the states, it's not surprising that this stuff happens all the time. Where I live, there's ice and snow on the road ~5 months out of the year. It never ceases to amaze me how people...

It doesn't have to stop there. Have you read the Night's Dawn trilogy? Lumber can have a place in this universe too. Just because our lumber on earth doesn't have a use in space, doesn't mean that lumber from every planet can't. Maybe there's a world with trees that have better structural...

It sounds like things have worked their way out, thankfully. It did show two very important facts though. The first is that CIG is thinking ahead. They are very carefully approaching a very old MMO problem and look to be one of the few developers in history that are trying to solve it. The...
