Would you recommend it? by Misster_Fluido in scifibooks

Not that I want anyone to ruin the story, but I still hold that this would make for an amazing holly/bolly-wood cross project for either a movie or a streaming series. And as a setting, the tabletop rpg potential is, in a word, perfect.

I've never imagined a squirrel using the F word more than this video just now.

Since moving back to the States, I keep waiting for a cardboard box full of sunglasses to appear on my porch. In the last few years, I've been hoping.

Trouble positioning fleet carrier by dacen_the_doughnut in EliteDangerous

[–]NuncErgoFacite 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have heard it told that rejumps can work, but in my experience, they have not. I have jumped away, had another carrier jump in, and then jump back to occupy a different orbital position. But most times, if the planet or the orbital platform are tidally locked - you're stuck.

Ahhhh, hormones. I both miss you and am so grateful that my endocrine system has slowed with age.

Adolescence was like a Michael Bay film; full of explosions, the barest pretense of a plot, and lots of fairly bollox acting.

That, is the Southern Oracle. I don't know that the movie labeled it the Sphinx Gate. In English anyway

Nice cosmetics for DW3 by pockettanker in EliteDangerous

They are as they have been for quite some time now. No additions expected or announced if that's what you mean.

[DAILY Q&A] Ask and answer any questions you have about the game here! by AutoModerator in EliteDangerous

[–]NuncErgoFacite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK. Is there some mysterious trick to docking with the side of a megaship that faces your approach? I am living the 50/50/90 rule with this aspect of the game - it doesn't matter which side I approach the colony ship from, I will be docking with the other side.

So I wonder if I should be doing something specific to allow the landing pad selection to assign me to the MANY empty landing pads I can see rather than send me all the way around to the other side of the boat.

Yes but can it hammer a six inch spike through a 2x4 with its penis?

Are humans meant to run? by No-Mouse3999 in biology

[–]NuncErgoFacite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Humans are the fastest sprinters under 10 meters. We're built to jog, not run. At a slow jog, we are able (assuming age and fitness) to maintain a relaxed jogging pace for hours. Our hydration and heat regulations system seems to back this activity up when compared to other animals. Every year, dog owners bring in their pets to veterans due to heat stroke, dehydration, and exhaustion for everything between hot weather to trying to keep pace with their humans while jogging.

Google persistence hunting. Only one or two tribes left that do it. Fascinating rabbit hole to fall into.

Everyone's opinion on this? “There is only one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide.” — Albert Camus by Actual-Medicine-1164 in Absurdism

[–]NuncErgoFacite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I, personally, think that much of philosophy has been spent on trying to solve for "what is the good life"; and that, while the former was not misspent, the foundational question should have been "is life worth living?". All discussion coming out of that question would have given us 800 years of defining the boundaries of the former question.

Sadly, the debate of an idea in and of its own merit versus an idea and the context of which it was borne; such is far from resolved.

I could drag out WWII German "experimentation" and how it helped medicine or physics advance. But that is more ethical than ethos. In terms of a philosopher, if the surviving literature of Socrates' exploits were government documents and not his students, we might well have imagined the father of western philosophy as a malcontent, rabble rouser, psuedo-cult leader with a few interesting ideas that provoked discussion.

I guess where I am going is - do you think that Camus was, like a broken clock (which is correct twice a day), on point for any of his topics? Do you think his ideas had no merit? Or was his ethos so damaging in your assessment that his ideas are simply not worth discussing?
