It took them a while, but Rey and Luke finally finished building the LEGO Ultimate Collector Series Millennium Falcon.

And how does it know not to reflect a lower wait time because of the reserved 60 top that showed up on time?

Next time you are talking with someone, try and identify the process by which you select the words you will speak next. You will discover that you do not know where they come from, why you used one word over another, or even the exact things you will say or in what order you will say them. You will discover that they…

Your argument could be applied equally to humans though after replacing “circuit board” with “neural tissue”. Not saying you’re wrong (I have no idea - nor do you actually) but your argument was shaky over a decade ago. Mainly because of the presumption that “understanding a problem” is somehow external to it’s…

„[…] it can be said that we’ve already entered into the era of superintelligence.”

This is how it ends.

Here’s my idea for a Bond film. In the latest installment, the new Bond discovers that a man named James Bond (played by Sean Connery) has been assassinated. And then another (George Lazenby) is offed, and then another and another. He comes to find out there have been multiple James Bonds, and that he is just the…

I don’t know, it feels like there’s a difference to me. The problem isn’t with suspending disbelief about unlocking brain potential, it’s about what they’re using as the reality basis for that suspension. It’s like how Spider-man’s basis in reality is “Spiders can climb walls, and are stronger for their size than…

No the movie was horrible

Is everyone happy now? :)

Hold on a second, what about lightning?

The average light bulb filament gets hotter than 5000 F. A lot of things get much much hotter than that.

Don’t even have to go that far. Just about everyone has or had a light bulb, with filaments glowing at around 3000 C/5000 F.

I’m guessing this is just a (typical) case of missing qualifiers. Something like, the hottest naturally occurring temperature on the surface of the Earth. So we can count out man-made weapon and fusion tests, as well as deep core temperatures.

Ummm...wouldn’t all that testing using thermonuclear weapons (like the Castle Bravo or Tsar Bomb) have briefly created temperatures in the millions of degrees? Temperatures at the core of a nuclear explosion can reach between 50 million and 150 million degrees. At that temperature, it doesn’t matter if it’s Celsius,…

Is it just me or does $1.1 billion not sound like a crazy amount of money considering the scope of what they’re trying to accomplish here?

Fuck that. Camera settings and position set up by human photographer. Camera belongs to human photographer. Resulting images (if any) from an animal belong to the human photographer.

“[D]ildos aren’t in the US Constitution.”

So obviously I see the images, but I don’t understand what it is he is doing. The solid colors I imagine are just from filling and manipulating individual cells. How that comes together to create an image though I don’t get. Does he have a time lapse video anywhere of the process? 

Are you multicellular? Mutant!
