Heechee series by Frederik Pohl. Feel free to stop after book 3.

It’s still a handsome.

If all else fails, go slow-mo.

Under the robot cowboy dome.

One has to start somewhere. As Musk pointed out more elaborately than I care to repeat: Setting a goal (i.e Mars), and working towards it, will greatly push the evolution of all things related to space travel and habitation. This is not about “simply” going to Mars; this is about opening up outer space.

“A valid reason” is not a reason on it’s own. It needs a valid explanation for it to be one. There is nothing you can do with a Lightning or USB port that stops being possible if it is in the geographical proximity of a jack port.

This is how super-villains are made.

Are you saying Ridley Scott made the Roman empire more Romantic by portraying genuine Rome-Antiques?

Just one man’s opinion: Taipei food pales in comparison to Tainan food. Not that Taipei food is bad - Tainan truly is the food epicenter of Taiwan.

After spending months in Taiwan, I never had (pieces of) tendon in my braised beef noodles, unless specifically requested. On the other hand, Taiwan is food heaven. Particularly Tainan.

Sure sounds handy. Maybe I have to give this a go. Some hotel room exercise never hurts. Thanks for the clarification.

This seems to rely on your hotel room being equipped with a stripping pole or similar.

Stoneheart can easily be “the cavalry” that comes in to save a near-botched cliffhangery attempt at re-taking Winterfell. At this point, she’s a plot voucher, available to cash in at any cliff hanger with her children involved.

Thanks for posting that video! An incredible story. What puzzles me is how little Shackleton (chose to?) learn from Nansens expedition with Fram. Mainly in terms of how to avoid having ones ship crushed by the inevitable pack ice trap, and not to rely on remote supply depots.

If people can dream about screens dancing around while you walk down the street, for whatever practical purpose that may or may not have - I can dream about a screen that works in the sun. Bendable screens may see the light of day (no pun intended) soon-ish. One that bends and folds at the command of a chip, however,…

Or your phone might use its ambient light sensor to notice the sun shining on it and morph its shape to shade your screen.

Sounds like the perfect marriage of two overconfident bros trying to impress one another...

The clip is just a 48 second outtake/highlight from a 30 minutes TV program. While an explanation would be nice, the clip is mainly meant to advertise the program. Which is in Norwegian anyway :)

No dedicated SSD for games? I’d rather have that than 4tb worth of games and 4tb worth of backups of games.

Aaron is a wizard and has the ‘stache to prove it.
