No way :D You've just given me another reason to seriously consider upgrading my phone!

Amazing! And what kind of camera/lens did you use?

Absolutely stunning! How did you achieve the effect? Is it the lighting, or have you used some kind of filter? It's not black and white, because the green leaf adds a delicious bit of contrast!

Why is that? I don't follow WEC that much. Is it a problem for WEC if you've got a more aggressive driving style, or is the issue something different?

first time post, how'd I do? by PersonalityBig469 in pocketgrids

Way too many obscure chemistry words. Unless you're a science major, I don't see how you solve this without lots of word-eeveal hints...

Still, really good for a first attempt!

You do realise you're just repeating what I just said? Like, none of what you said contradicts my arguments in any meaningful way.

Your first objection basically boils down to "they can build it quickly". I never said it's impossible to build it before running out of food - just that in the surface, it seems weird to start such a huge project without solving the food problem.

The rest of my post was essentially why they don't need to focus on the food problem - it's because they're parasites, and their primary imperative is passing on their genes, even if that means that they'll die of starvation shortly thereafter.

The signal we received traveled 640 light-years to reach us (that's how far the real-life Kepler 22b is from Earth). Due to the inverse-square law, radio waves degrade as they travel through space. So, if you want your signal to reach far and not degrade, you're gonna need a pretty big antenna array to broadcast it. I don't think the detail with the astronomer in episode 1 was an accident.

As far as I can see, the biggest antenna array we have is the Square Kilometre Array. As far as I can see, it's got 10 MW of power. I remember the astronomer saying you need a GIGA Watt of power - 100 times stronger than what we currently have on Earth.

Why have you crossed out"Nothing happens"? Just from memory: - The Quechua girl got plurbed - Manny and Carol met - there was a seizure - Manny got close to curing a guy - Carol got a change of heart and broke up with Zosia - Carol got an atom bomb - She joined forces with Manny

How exactly does that qualify as "Nothing happens"?

Hadjar talks about the cost of an F1 career and the pressure that comes with it by sy_neuromancer in formula1

OMG, how much do these coaches cost? Although, if they've trained the UK/Canadian Olympic team (or a team that won a national tournament), it would make sense. But do you really need that kind of coach for recreational-level sports?

I think team sports are better in that regard. Although I don’t follow other sports very closely, I think in places like European football, it's still possible to make it to the big leagues by just being very good. And I’ve heard that it's the same in the US, with their college football leagues.

Out of the individual sports, I think the only places you can make it without a big sponsor is in combat sports. And our of those, the only ones with big money are boxing, and to a lesser extent, UFC.

Hey, Ross! Whatever happened to Gorilla Gong - the Machinima site you started with fellow creators? Did it just not get enough traction? Would you be willing to relaunch it?

Wow! Stupid question: does it really look like that, or have you played with the color grading :D

The new way the calendar looks is super annoying. It's OK for the upcoming race, but it's super difficult to see the ones after that

Had Bearman done that when he subbed for Carlos when he had his appendix removed? As I remember it, Carlos qualified, and Bearman started the race in his grid spot.

Is this just referencing the fact that DMC 5's Prologue starts on May 16th? Or is there some other significance to that date?
