It was a miniseries. It was always billed as a miniseries. I had never heard them even suggest it would be a series. Did I miss something?

Damn, now I’m angry - and sad.

Depending on where you get your info, Chicago doesn’t even show up when it comes to transit.

Cute? Tell me how your crime rate is? I mean, I don’t remember the last time LA’s murder rate made national news... but I digress. When was the last time you were in Los Angeles? Downtown is now one of the most active and thriving districts in the city, and Silver Lake, Echo Park, South Park, Little Tokyo, the Arts…

Because of the downtown area’s office market’s migration west to Bunker Hill and the Financial District, many historic office buildings have been left intact, simply used for storage or remaining empty during recent decades. In 1999, the Los Angeles City Council passed an adaptive reuse ordinance, making it easier for…

Touche... out of curiosity, what cities are you comparing it to, where do you reside now... because outside of the island of Manhattan, most of NYC is sprawl. So it San Fran and Chicago. Actually, when considering sprawl, Los Angeles IS the highest density city in the country. So, regardless of how it feels, it’s as…

Not a lot of housing in downtown!? are you serious. pretty much all of the older buildings have been converted into loft and apartments, not to mention the new ones that are being completed and have been built in the last few years (I hate the Orcini, Da Vinci and Medici apartments, but they are still housing). Here…

When was the last time you were in Los Angeles, let alone with a local to show you around?

Once looked like a real city? I’m gonna venture a guess and say you’ve never been here, and if you have, you went to Hollywood and Vine and Disneyland.

I don’t consider The Expanse to be “unsung,” though. It’s been getting praised absolutely everywhere as the greatest thing in ages, and we have been beating the drum nonstop about how this show is the long-awaited heir to BSG. I absolutely would have put this show on the list except that I felt like it’s gotten tons…

I’m hoping this leads to us being able to manipulate and magnify gravity, leading to things like anti-gravity generators and gravity trash compactors.

That would be almost inside our own galaxy. The Milky Way’s disc is only 100,000 light years across, and our dark matter halo extends up to around 400,000 light years from the galactic center. A distance of 250 million light years sounds more reasonable.

TIME TO BURN THIS SHIT DOWN!

So wait, in the story about falcons trapping smaller birds there was an ornithologist quoted as saying “I don’t believe a falcon has the cognitive ability to ‘store’ prey like this,” Yet here we are, with another falcon literally dropping fire bombs and it’s “accepted belief that this happens”?!?!

Nope. 250 Million is correct. If we had that many large masses that close to the Milky way (which is by itself only 100,000 light years across) then likely we would have a night sky far more dazzling than we have now, with galaxies visible that are several times wider than the moon.

some people like their cucumbers pickled.

I really just want my home theatre to be voice controlled. “Change input to Xbox/Cable/Apple TV” “Set sleep timer to 30 minutes “increase the volume from the center channel by 5”, but the benefit to this is mostly just text input when searching YouTube.

It would help if the included link in the article didn’t simply link to the journal but to the paper itself.
