The order of launches you suggest is wrong: first the [DELETED] (read: depot) will launch, then over a period of around six months (one launch every 12 days) another 14 Tankers will fly up, refuel the [DELETED], and then land, and only once the [DELETED] is full will the actual HLS launch, get refueled off the…

The one you can get other people to play with you. Which means D&D or maybe Pathfinder.

This is worse than the time-traveling fetus theory.

I was referencing this:

Would you fight side-by-side with an orc?

Honestly, I wouldn’t even consider the Satanic Temple to actually be Satanists. They’re more humanists who protest Christian violations of the separation of church and state by saying “if the government is allowed to support Christianity directly, it has to also support something called the ‘Satanic Temple.’”…

You say that like villains can’t also be charming. To quote the original website promoting this theory:

To be honest, they’re better than both College Humor and The Onion these days...but yes, that’s the model they’re following.

So you think for everyone other than Harry, the hat is predicting what their future will be and is placing them into a House based on that? As I mentioned previously, future-predicting magic doesn’t seem nearly reliable or commonplace enough in the Harry Potter universe for that to be likely, especially when “just…

There’s no reason to think that Harry Potter magic works like that, no. The only future-related stuff we see is prophecies, and those are rare and treasured: if it was as easy as using an artifact which can reliably predict what will happen 15 years in the future, for dozens of students in one sitting, why would…

There’s a pretty big difference between “magic which can read your mind” (which seems perfectly plausible, given what we’ve seen in the Harry Potter universe) and “magic which can perfectly predict your entire future” (which seems rather unlike Harry Potter magic, given the unreliable nature of Divinations and how…

Did you read the article? The point isn’t that “the hat can’t possibly detect your personality” or even “the four personality types it specifies aren’t the best way to divide people up;” the point is “your personality at age 10 isn’t the same as your personality at age 25, but by branding you with a personality trait…

I can’t be the only one who’s seeing Japanese Elon Musk, right? Now there’s a cosplay he could pull off.

They explicitly said that it’s included on Android, but without the AR camera...I’m not sure what else you want.

The Harry Potter ride is good, but after it opened they decided to use the exact same mechanism for every other new ride. Seriously, count the number of rides which are “dark ride with a low-grade roller coaster track and a car that pivots around in a preprogrammed manner to show you specific things.” They vary…

How has no one yet mentioned The Enigma of Amigara Fault? http://brasscockroach.com/h4ll0w33n2007/manga/Amigara-Full/Amigara.html

So, you did get that they're each wearing variations of the Doctor's iconic costumes, starting from One on the left and going to Eleven on the right? Some take greater liberties than others (I'll grant that Two, Three, Six, Seven, and Eight are a bit off), but it's clear what the intent was.

No, that's related to these magic tricks: http://ask.metafilter.com/158659/No-actually-I-cant-read-your-mind-it-just-means-that-youre-average#2273913
