What kind of climate models were they using for coastal defense in Texas? 10.000 year-storm levels or 100 year-storm levels?
You’d imagine that a busy coast-line like that, in the middle of a hurricane rich zone, would have had a lot more investment in protective infrastructure, like dykes, levies, drainage channels,…

No, it means that they’re not allowing him to be bought out, yet.
His attorney can request a new bond hearing if he wishes.

One would assume that it makes him/her cry, a lot.
Onions tend to do the same for many people.

The stuff in mace that burns/hurts is not readily water-soluble, however it dissolves just fine in fats and sugars, so milk is a good way to get it off you.

Do keep in mind that there’s nothing more difficult than convincing a human being (having evolved to recognize faces to a ludicrous degree) that a fake human is real. The uncanny valley is very real, and it’s really difficult to get past.

Seoul was screwed the moment the first Kim started stuffing the hills and mountains facing the city on the NK side with fixed artillery emplacements, they really don’t need nukes to flatten Seoul, those hundreds (if not thousands) of guns can probably level the city in a matter of minutes. Now Japan needs to worry…

And so do many other gamers whose first language isn’t English I imagine (I most certainly do), it is often much easier to get the meaning of something from text than from spoken words, especially with accents or lots of background noise.

Probably Civ 6, the new Summer Update and the Nubian civ are a lot of fun. :)

Considering the 80s presented in the artbooks and the RPG includes massive particle accelerators, anti-gravity technology, advanced robotics and AI, time-travel, dinosaurs and aliens, that’s not a coincidence. :D

Not just that, having a huge lance of super-heated tungsten slam into the armour on a ships hull is going to really make a big mess both inside and outside the armour layer.

Mass Effect had that idea in ME2, the Thanyx Cannon fires blasts of molten Tungsten with mass effect accelerators. :) Building a real-life version wouldn’t be easy I imagine, but it would be awesome.

I use my Twitter account primarily to follow people who write blogs/articles I’m generally interested in, that way I know when they’ve posted new stuff and I don’t have to check their websites regularly.
The same goes for a number of Youtubers/streamers, the twitter notification that they posted something/are streaming…

it doesn’t change the load time, correct.It does change how quickly the game can transition from a load-screen to gameplay, by a factor of 2.4 to be exact. And if a game has a lot of load screens that adds up.

Fission is the cleanest option if you don’t have access to sufficient solar, hydro-electric or wind power. The downside is the waste fuel, but Thorium reactors are far cleaner than the traditional Uranium kind, with its waste being far less radioactive.

Except that the rest of the world doesn’t get the episode until today. Sorry, we’re not all from the US. 😉

it’s easy enough to miss, especially because the reason isn’t mentioned until the end of the article, that line is basically presented without context until the very end of the article. :) I was thinking the same thing initially.

Technically the AI is programmed to never allow the Drive to be in tact before returning you to Earth. So that 2nd scenario should simply mean that the AI insists that you destroy the drive before he’ll turn around, however thanks to that bug it sometimes doesn’t, meaning that it lets you return home with the drive,…

As far as I’m aware, one of the last hand-drawn japanese animated films is Redline from 2009. A little different visually from Cowboy Bebop, but still really nicely done. Note, it does have a few computer enhanced bits, but the vast majority is hand drawn, it took 10 years to make.

One would assume the alt-history glorifying the things the fascists did (Nazi or otherwise), that part of white-nationalism is unfortunately alive and well, and they see these things not represented enough (thank goodness for that).

And the thing is, in several of the side-branches of the franchise, armour is quite common. The Star Trek Elite Force games feature quite a sophisticated load-out of armour, shields and such. And the same goes for Star Trek Online as well, even go so far as having literal powered armour.
