Yeah it's easily shot way up there for me. KSP has been a delight in a way I haven't felt about a video game in years.

Did that fact only emerge after Fluidic Space was invented? I think it came up in the one episode where they find the planetoid made completely out of water, and there's something deep in the waterball that they need, and supposedly Voyager could be made waterproof but it would take too long so let...

Well if they're beyond racism or whatever in the future, it wouldn't affect her life so what's there to explore? Kinda like how Star Trek never really asked Uhura or Geordi what it was like to be black in Starfleet, because it just didn't matter. And as far as VAs go well, storage space isn't unlim...

I'm guessing you've already pointed out that you've found the services of mental health professionals to be very helpful and worthwhile. You could try likening it to a physical malady, like a broken ankle: You can try to limp around the problem, but you can't fix it by just toughing it out yourself,...

Are you including the amount of energy it takes to combat topsoil erosion and degradation? (The answer is that neither one is really sustainable on its own if the population keeps growing.) You do realise that livestock don't just take energy from power plants or something, right? All that energy c...

I'm curious about one thing, though: let's say for a moment that one day we were to unanimously commit to no longer eating any meat products at all, ever again. The resources going into the mass production and distribution of meat are immediately freed up for the production of vegetarian food. This ...

Communism was defeated, Capitalism won. And as it was proclaimed, it was the End of History. Ehhhhh except this sort of thing was starting prior to that. From what I've heard it really took off in the early 80s when there was a big push for "efficiency" - supposedly around then is when pe...

That's actually neat, and I dig that the artist took the time to do Yar and Pulaski.

Anything new on him? Nope. They even demodded him on SDN a few months ago. Wow. I thought they would have left him that, as a memorial. Demodding him would be more of a security measure to prevent someone from trying to guess their way into his account. I don't know if phpBB locks users out or aler...

I get the sense that your banning and erasure was at least partially just a symptom of him getting sick and tired of SDN. He barely ever spends any time there anymore, and he just didn't want to put up with you baiting him in what he considers to be his house. I think it even says somewhere in the ...

i kinda felt like this episode's moral was reaaaaaally heavy-handed

but it's kinda an important issue to tackle, so i'm totally cool with it if it'll make a positive difference in a kid's life somewhere (and i really hope it does)

I watched that episode with a friend and we had a lot of fun. That was a funny episode.

Yeah, I'd heard too many horror stories - the cracking noise, a surgeon with his foot up on the headrest trying to yank out the tooth, smoke coming out of the mouth as they ground out a tooth - so even when the surgeon said "hey, your teeth are really straight, this should be pretty simple. do ...

Well, of course. America is ~special~. I've heard right-wing talk radio hosts literally complaining about how Obama isn't upholding ~American exceptionalism~. It would probably be trivial to walk some of these guys into basically saying America gets to play by special rules because we're the last sh...

I remember there was a guy on the Total Annihilation forum who, in IRC, admitted that he had sexual fantasies about Margaret Thatcher


Any other old TAU posters here may remember him as PeterC, or Peter Cuthbertson

i've always said we were going to get new lols when adr finally decided to check out anarchism anyway hey HPCA watchers have there been any new posts on Petraeus? i bet old Stuart's either devastated by the unprofessionalism of his treasured ~most intellectual general~, or fuming with rage at the ~m...

okay so every year I do a christmas party for my friends, and this year I was like "okay guys where should we go for dinner?" and one of my friends said "well you know for a kid-friendly option there's always incredible john's! :fukyu: " so I looked it up online and I suspected t...

Solution: the Obama tax. If you gave, advocated or otherwise for Obama, you get taxed to hell and gone. Between Facebook and the FEC, we know who funded him. You voted for it, you get it good and hard. We could probably expand that to all registered Democrats. They put their money where their mouth...

just don't become the next radium

I waver between wanting to do some TobleroneTriangular-style trolling and realizing that it would only be depressing in the end. it could have a major payoff if you were able to get one of them to step over the line and make a threat against the president (and then reported that threat) then watch ...

overacting my ass, that reaction was perfect.

"Wha-... where did a Vulcan boy come from??"
"We think Captain Spock somehow came back to life!!"
are you shitting me

i'm not sure how to respond to that

alls i was getting at was that his portrayal of the astronaut corps made the book very enjoyable to read
