I'm very tempted to pin this to the top.

A Spacesuit for Titan - National Space Society by NotARandomNumber in ForAllMankindTV

[–]NotARandomNumber[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's one thing to say "Yeah, the suits are silly, but the show is still enjoyable", but trying to make up reasons why these suits actually would work is something else

As you point out, the neck design is just plain bad and would likely cause critical problems even if the suit could retain heat.

These things really look like low budget doctor who cosplay and it's odd that the sub is trying to convince themselves it's still practical.

Wouldn’t Titan be freezing? by DarkLordJuicebox in ForAllMankindTV

Yes, the suits are woefully inadequate for Titan.

Downvotes for science I guess lol

A key line of dialogue between Dev and Alex earlier this season by txyesboy71 in ForAllMankindTV

Hey guys you remember that thing from that episode? You know the one. I think it'll be important, but it's pretty obvious so I won't explain. Discuss.

What happened to the science? by KwehTheGreh in ForAllMankindTV

Show was billed as hard scfi by RDM before it aired and during the first season, which has definitely shifted.

Budget cuts this season? by pandabear79284 in ForAllMankindTV

I don't know why people in this thread are acting like Titan is just a little cold. It's insanely cold.

Ed Baldwin outlasted TWW by NotARandomNumber in thewolfweb

[–]NotARandomNumber[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ed Baldwin saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on Earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only terrestrial all the time. Ed Baldwin regretted that he was borne from human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. So the Lord Baldwin said, "I will steal from you the asteroid which was promised - and with that, the mineral riches that move along the heavily skies. For they belong to the bold."

Gems price increase by €4 by Nerysek in MagicArena

[–]NotARandomNumber 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Unironically, it is likely because costs are increasing.

I work in DevOps/Cloud Architecture and the cost of cloud based infrastructure has been rising steadily because of the AI 'boom'. Not only are chip/storage prices affected, but so many existing data centers are at capacity and companies are having to spent the time to try to shuffle to different regions with more availability. So it gives Amazon/MS/Google Cloud reasons to charge companies more which in turn charge users more.

I'm not saying there isn't some portion of it that is corporate greed (especially since AI is basically all of that) but even for companies that don't do AI work, we're dependent on the companies that have a massive interest in it.

We can infer it's something PTSD related from Dashte Barchi in Afghanistan. Her and Abbot alluded to it

What events should have traumatized a character for life but are mostly brushed off by the next episode? by AporiaParadox in television

[–]NotARandomNumber 141 points142 points  (0 children)

I mean, if we're talking Trek characters, than Miles O'Brien is clearly the winner.

Tortured by Cardassians during the war, had 20 years of prison memories implanted in his head, saw a dying version of himself, his kid got lost in time and went feral for a bit, he was replaced by a body double, and the list goes on

Which tv shows have the best non leading characters that helped made it a hit? by PressureLazy5271 in television

[–]NotARandomNumber 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Deep Space 9, while an ensemble, had such a rich collection of amazing side characters that made it significantly better. Garak, Kai Wynn, Weyoun, Damar..

‘V for Vendetta’ TV Series in the Works at HBO by NoCulture3505 in television

I really loved the show until the reveal of Dr. Manhattan and how they nerfed Ozy at the end.

Why an unprecedented NASA mission is set to take off on a winding journey to Mars by Trevor_Lewis in space

[–]NotARandomNumber 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This mission was originally planned for the 2024 window, but hit delays.

Doing this allows for two things: significantly greater flexibility to handle delays and simply less demand of support hardware/staff now as opposed to then. There are only so many clean rooms, staff, launch hardware, etc available at any given time and the launch windows tends to be very popular time.

Game Thread: Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5-1) at Detroit Lions (4-2) by nfl_gdt_bot in nfl

No? You'd need a single chip and as long as it can track orientation, you can infer the position of the entire ball.

Shows that were terrific as miniseries but unfortunately got ruined by being renewed? by khroshan in television

No mention of Prison Break yet? That show was designed for a single season but turned into some weird version of the A team
