SpaceX could help Trump get to the sun.

So could Chuck Norris.

Thanos’ whole plan was just stupid. He had a poor understanding of resource scarcity and its solutions.

I haven’t read the comics and didn’t know where the story was going. Overall I thought, not quite as good as Ragnarok, slightly wackier and solid fun, with some mood whiplash that didn’t quite work.

Once we found the hammer was harming Jane, I assumed she’d be saved by the power of the eternity gate — I even thought…

I really loved my Zune HD. Enough disk space to hold my entire MP3 collection at the time, absolutely great sound, a nice interface on the player itself. Crap software on the PC side, but then, iTunes on the PC was also a nightmare, so :shrug:

Cleaning crew — or maybe my boss, I wouldn’t put it past him — stole it off…

Megarace, with your host, Lance Boyle!

Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley is the one I’m happy to see, even if it didn’t have music by Sigur Rós. I mean, I’m 50 and I still have “Moominvalley in November”among my favorite books.

And Snufkin is my favorite character — kind of a Ralph Waldo Emerson introverted nature-loving rebellious type, and a musician.

After my dad retired, he flipped two houses that were in really rough shape. Each one took two years. He broke even on both of them... if you assume that his labor (and those of family and friends who helped) was free.

I helped him a bit with them both and found about 5% satisfaction in a job well done, 20% depression…

Reading: Catching up on the rest of Linda Nagata’s far-future stuff. I loved Vast years ago and reread it several times before I realized there were more books in that series. (But don’t let anyone tell you Tech-Heaven is in that category; it’s a much nearer future and generally a lot less cool.) Though I’m usually…

I was 11 and fascinated with tech when the original Tron came out. It didn’t quite predate cyberpunk, but came very early into it for a Disney movie. It never really made much sense, but it was an excuse for a very different looking fantasy setting. (Yes, I will insist that Tron is much more fantasy than SF.)

Albedo 0.39 is great. (Also used by ESPN SportCenter back in the day, as well as Cosmos.)

Not in protest of this, but stupid service policies:

That watch cost more than my house and car put together.

If ever there was someone destined to become a crypto scammer, it’s Shkreli.

Negative, I am a meat popsicle.

I’ve heard other people say that. My guess was always they were expecting a straightforward sci-fi action movie, and SURPRISE it is carrying a payload of absurdity. Plus the cheese factor of the main threat essentially being a giant ball of hate, the universe being saved by the power of love, etc.

Did you dislike Demoli…

It was from series 5 episode 1, “Striking Vipers”

I’m looking forward to this so hard, but I could have done with another 4-5 books with Griddle as the protagonist.

Hmm, my sister in law got us a heart-shaped Dash for Christmas and it takes seconds.  Much faster than making pancakes.

Does it come with a microscope to read that screen?

They should have added a really expensive reward where you get to play in a campaign DMd by Steve Shell. The Old Gods of Appalachia podcast is excellent about 60% because of the creepy stories, and 40% because of that guy’s voice.
