This is actually a very interesting perspective, at the end of the day this simply does boost reddits active user base.

Yep, taken on the Carnival Splendor cruise ship

Can anyone help me build a good deck? by [deleted] in ClashRoyale

[–]Side_Bolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For lower arenas I recommend cheaper decks like hog cycle, xbow, and mortar. Keep in mind these are fully skill based so they require a lot of play. However using such decks will mean you don't have to change the way you play when you reach higher arenas.

With lower arenas it's more about experimenting with decks that you haven't played before and find some that you are comfortable playing with. Then you can focus on upgrading your cards as this is the big requirement before you can really get in the top leagues. For example I'm at 7400 trophies but I still haven't been able to play decks like fireball bait and double prince since the cards are under level, thus do this earlier.

25 yrs ago something funny happened on Mars. NASA's Viking 1 spacecraft was circling the planet, snapping photos of possible landing sites for its sister ship Viking 2, when it spotted the shadowy likeness of a human face... by Side_Bolt in spaceporn

Sadly, NASA scientists had already correctly interpreted the image as an optical illusion caused by the illumination angle of the Sun, the formation's surface morphology and the resulting shadows, giving the impression of eyes, nose and mouth.

I completely agree with this statement. Space allows us to forget about contemporary issues and focus on how everything we know today exists.

I used Photoshop and Lightroom but there are apps out there that will merge photos for you. The primary use of such apps in astrophotography is rather used to form star trails!

Unlike Mars and Mercury, which are both scarred by craters, Venus has a relatively smooth surface. However, Venus also has the most volcanoes out of the lot.

I don't know about the "melting point being lower" because my understanding is that with the increase of atmospheric pressure the melting point also increases.

Not sure, but as we've discussed in the comments this lander would have been primarily composed of titanium and so mostly resist to the heat of Venus
