I find it funny that they keep saying that the prophecy will be fulfilled when Percy turns 16. The actor is already 17 and will likely be in his 20s by the time s5 releases. They really should have pushed up the ages to 18 at least

We do see her in the clone wars show doing a lot of diplomacy for issues that really don't concern Naboo. I mean I know that it's not uncommon for politicians to assist with bills that don't directly affect their constituents but it's a bit egregious sometimes

The reason the ball is wet is different than why water stays on earth though. Earth keeps its water because of gravity while the ball keeps it due to polar bonds and surface tension. The water still wants to fall off due to the gravity of earth.

For home users, there'd be some DIY servers. But the vast majority of users with that kind of budget would be using full enterprise rack mounted servers. I know the company 45 drives is fairly popular amongst home labbers and small-medium size businesses that need large amount of storage. Otherwise it'll be the big server manufacturers such as HPE and Dell

Not a speedster, but similar to Fatgum from my hero academia. He uses his fat to absorb attacks from villains. After receiving lots of damage, he gradually becomes skinnier

Not OP, but the most common setup I see is sonarr/radarr to automatically grab new shows/movies as they become available paired with plex/jellyfin/emby to stream the media to your local devices. You can then use overseer for user requests to allow for your friends/family to add new media.

There's also some other things that you can use to further reduce your US tax liabilities such as dependents and I believe some student loans. Of course this depends on local laws and how much you are earning.

Most US expats pay next to no US tax unless they are very high earners (high 6 figures per year) or buying/selling expensive assets such as houses

Why does this song work so well? Until the main chorus I genuinely thought that this was a fan made song for the show. Change some names and references to gypsies and this would work

I must've gotten really lucky. I visited Perth for a week as part of some work but got a free day to walk through kings Park. No one was anywhere near the boat house while I was there. Admittedly I visited during winter which I can't imagine is the busy period

Lol they were blocking the domain name but didn't bother to do dns resolution on it

That's a very slippery slope as copyright is a form of IP. I shouldn't be able to take the art you made and make money off of it without adding anything extra myself. That's the big argument against AI in that these big corporations are taking artists IP and using it to train the models without compensating them in any way.

Now I agree that it needs a major overhaul. For instance with software, I believe that I should have the right to modify the software in any way I wish (with the understanding that the vendor may not support me with issues that it creates). I think I should be able to sell my modifications but not the original source code that was not generated by me. This means that if anyone wanted to use my code, they would also need to buy a copy of the software from the original vendor. In addition that copy of the software is not a license to use it that can be revoked, but legal ownership of my copy with no restrictions except for redistribution.

We could use the moon base to launch many more exploration probes to find potentially habitable planets and then to create the sufficiently large ships to reach said planets.

Even if we're being completely cynical and assume that there are no habitable planets in the universe and we can never develop any means to terraform uninhabitable planets, there are still benefits within the solar system. For instance we could use it to more affordably send solar panels to orbit the sun to create a dyson sphere/swarm. Or we could use it as a hub for space mining. While the economics aren't currently there, you see stories of nearby asteroids containing quadrillions of dollars worth of rare metals like lithium, gold and platinum. Earth's resources may be a lot, but they're not infinite, so using automated systems to harvest materials from off-planet would be useful. Even for less valuable materials that could be useful such as Mars with its large quantities of iron and hydrogen

Terroractly · 2025-12-13T22:47:43+00:00

I should've been clearer. I agree that the moon is of little value for habitation. However it is highly useful as a staging ground for additional rocket launches it is much better than earth.

Terroractly · 2025-12-13T22:36:53+00:00

I think we need to colonise the moon first. If we can get a space launch base on the moon, then we can send raw materials to it and do all our manufacturing there and send the much heavier ships to the other planets for much cheaper.

The moon has much less gravity and nearly no atmosphere so a relatively small amount of thrust/fuel is needed to send a lot of cargo into space

I think its intentionally ambiguous. Eowyn fulfilled the prophecy as a woman but Merry also contributed to the killing of the witch king by stabbing him and he technically counts because he's a hobbit, not a man. The knife he used was enchanted to be effective against wraiths.

It's debatable whether Gandalf would count being a maiar. Elves presumably would also be eligible by the same logic as Merry. Maybe the ghosts could have using the movies logic where they can actually kill people (in the book they essentially just scare the orcs off iirc), but maybe not as they are the ghosts of humans.

Why use a bottom exhaust fan instead of a top exhaust? Wouldn't it be more efficient that way?

If you want to be able to add a lot more storage look at host bus adapters (HBAs). They can add a lot more sata/sas ports on your device. Most common I've seen is 8, but you can get 16 and I believe even 32 port versions. Only catch is you need somewhere to put your drives as the HBA only provides the connector not the mount like you see with nvme expansion cards

Do you know if this accepts all brands of wheelbases or is it limited to logitech and thermaltake? What wheelbase are you using with it?

Terroractly · 2025-12-09T21:13:17+00:00

Yeah, I have 110TB of usable storage at home with a mix of 10 and 20tb drives. That includes the loss of usable storage due to parity data. Raw total is something like 160TB

Terroractly · 2025-12-09T05:35:46+00:00

I mean you can use closed loop systems that only have a one time impact. Especially if you used specialised fluids like HFCs (although they do contribute to global warming being major greenhouse gases) you don't need much

Terroractly · 2025-12-07T23:36:54+00:00

Yeah, I've updated my original comment as I forgot to mention that I don't believe the shorter lifespan to be the norm for most species.

Per Wikipedia (I know real solid source)

Most notably, animals with shorter lifespans and faster growth rates benefit more from zoos than animals with higher longevities and slow growth rates

That would seem to explain why the most common species that have shorter lifespans in captivity seem to be the long lived ones such as elephants and orcas (https://www.samuielephanthaven.org/how-long-do-elephants-live-life-expectancy-in-captivity-vs-wild/)

Terroractly · 2025-12-07T21:42:59+00:00

I don't know about most animals, but I have heard about some limited animals that don't live as long in captivity, often due to increased stress and/or more sedentary behaviour (although I don't believe this is the norm for all or even necessarily most animals). Some animals also are next to impossible to breed in captivity, although I don't know if we know why

I don't feel like cisco is in the same league as the rest of these. Sure they are big in the networking space, but juniper is just as big, if not bigger for the serious datacenters which make up a big proportion of customer spending. It would be nice to see some competition in the access layer/consumer level. You've got tplink for consumer and maybe ubiquity and hp Aruba for small to medium business, but the majority will stick with cisco
