To be clear, the swan song achievement here is the highest energy output ever for a 5 sec fusion pulse. The power for this pulse, measured in J/s or Watt, was 11 MW. In 1997, JET established a record of 16MW using shorter pulses.

OMG. Please no with the headline copy. It is an abomination and it must be stopped. You won’t believe how annoying it is...

(unrelated to the article, I just felt like venting)

Does anyone subscribe to Prime primarily for the streaming?  This isn’t even a consideration for me. 

I liked this better back when it was a SNL bit.

This movie is my favorite story of how adopting a stray dog can change your life.

1) Divide the horses into five groups, A, B, C, D, E.

2) Race each group of horses, and number them by how they place (A1, A2, A3,etc). 5 races so far.

3) Race the first-place winners of the previous five races (A1, B1, C1, D1, E1). The winner (let’s say A1) will be the fastest horse, because by beating B1, C1, D1, and…

My best is 7 races.

Similarly, not to pile on, but the new movie would probably be 95% better if you just removed every Leto.

I enjoyed Tron: Legacy, but
Jared Leto as lead?
No Daft Punk?

Found the patent:

An adult animated show about a super hero attorney at law? That would never work!

For puzzle 1, using the lichess board, I have the queens positioned at d3, d4, e1, e4, and f1. The squares that are not attacked are g5, h5, and h2. Since the board is symmetrical, presumably this arrangement also works when rotated by 90, 180, or 270 degrees.

Looking at the MCU era leading up to Endgame and Tony’s development, I actually think they did an amazing job of unfolding his story in a non-linear fashion. And when you put all the pieces together, it’s a pretty great story.

This is an experimental plane. You can model it till the cows come home, but nobody really knows what to expect until it actually flies. One goal is to make commercial airliners that can fly over populated areas faster than the speed of sound. A human pilot can react to unexpected events in ways remote piloting or a…

Well the problem with that is that the conversation that Kirk’s mom and dad have in the first film with regards to what to name him seem to heavily imply that this is their only child. My personal theory is that the guy we see in the Kelvin timeline isn’t actually Kirk but Kirk’s older brother who in this timeline was…

My apologies if I was unclear there. The death penalty still exists in Alabama, but the practice of judges overturning a jury’s recommended sentence of life imprisonment in eligible death penalty cases is no longer allowed.

Spotted the 800 SAT-scoring loser.

Can someone please edit this article? The implication is that she says this in response to Star Wars, recently, but it’s actually from 2015, and is about her making documentaries about the abuse and mistreatment of women in Pakistan, and how by having uncomfortable conversations, she is helping people actually see and…
