This is interesting. I was just watching some extra features from wandavision the other day randomly and Debra Jo Rupp talked about this scanning process that she went through as well. she seemed excited about it though.

I don’t give a fuck about this streamer but its odd to describe 5 houses as an “entire neighborhood” and a “company town”. it’s not even all the houses on a single street. There’s an angle on this about power dynamics and emotional manipulation possibly so why the stretch?

I think i remember that the original design of starship was to utilize some new formulation of carbon fiber but it was swapped out for stainless because of the huge cost difference and for the heat resistance that stainless brings to the equation. stainless costs less then $10 per kg whereas carbon fiber is like $200 Read more

I found myself wondering if the reason the engines failed and maybe even separation failed was not the result of some debris getting kicked up back into the rocket?

This article is correct. I have tried 4 or 5 flavors and most were ok except the choc chip which was terrible. I do like the box and the presentation of the store. I figured the cookie cutter thing was for people buying a box to take into work and leave in the breakroom or meeting room or whatever where a butter Read more

elon is by most accounts a huge piece of shit. even so the response on twitter is kind of a weird take. The rocket was exploded on purpose when it failed to separate as a safety measure so it didn’t leave the safe zone. I get wanting to enjoy the failure of someone you hate but you don’t have to ignore reality to do Read more

Went yesterday to the IMAX to see this with my wife and almost 5 year old daughter. everyone really liked it. I mean it has a pretty simple plot but it was enough to keep us engaged and we had a lot of fun watching it. the animation I thought was really well done and great to look at. surprisingly I also like the Read more

Probably not a huge one but I think this is more of a proof of concept with the next version of the craft looking to be able to carry much more cargo. 

“Sanderson is best known as the writer of The Stormlight Archive, The Reckoners, and Mistborn series—all of which take place in his original fictional universe, called the Cosmere.” Read more

My understanding is that in some municipalities there are restrictions on how you can apply solar on your house to free yourself from the grid.  its bullshit.

I didn’t watch the video yet but are you saying the 4070ti matches the performance of the 3090?  if that is the case that still seems cool because its only $800 and the 3090 was 1500 msrp when it came out right?  

I really want one of these but what I really really really want (besides a Ziz-a-zig-ah) is a steam deck 2 that I can use to power a VR headset.  like wear it in a back pack or on a belt or something and get full PC graphics processing power  but with no tripping over wires 

Thank you for this comment. on the cast list in plex when I watched this episode it labeled one guy as “Time Grappler” and I was like who the F is that? when you mentioned the time keeper it clicked in my brain that it must be the anvil guy lol.

I remember reading somewhere that the artists dont actually have that much power here even the big ones.  this is due to the fact that its the venues that have contracts with ticketmaster/livenation preventing them from having events that dont move tickets through them.  they also outright own a lot of venues in the Read more

the most dangerous thing about trump’s political career is the spotlight he put on all the supposed checks and balances to presidential power which turned out to be nothing more than behavioral norms and apparently unfounded fear of reprisal from the electorate. if anyone just as power hungry but even slightly more Read more

I agree. Star Citizen is a lot of things but scam doesnt make sense to me. I gave them less than $50 in like 2014 and I can still go play the game whenever I feel like it. I have downloaded the client and tooled around in it for a few days tens of times over the last 8 years and had more than enough fun to justify Read more

I have a fascination with a very specific type of marketing language and that last image is a perfect example. its this tricky type of extra words they use to stay out of legal trouble and still make sort of misleading claims. the last picture here is a great example. the word style cancels out the claim of hand Read more

moving is the absolute worst. I am just about at the point in my life where I can afford to pay someone to do this shit for me and I cant think of a better way to spend money. And I am a fully able adult. anyone with any slight physical issues shouldnt even consider that. also, If you pay a moving company and they Read more

I dont KNOW this but its probably the only option.  likely the union agreement requires admin leave until an investigation can be completed.
