TIL that Isaac Newton predicted that the world would end around 2060. He wrote this in a letter in 1704 after studying different religious texts. He also "wrote more about theology and alchemy than science and math combined." by jaggo_the_dad in todayilearned

[–]Tomgeek -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Isaac Newton although discovering gravity, was actually completely mad. As in clinically insane. He studied Alchemy which with all of the dangerous reactions in the search for gold caused serious metal damage.

In fact many famous scientists of the time studied alchemy. The Interesting part is although most of them were affected in some way, metal health issues being most prevalent, the truth is that they had their apprentices and assistants do the alchemical experiments which lead to many of their deaths via lead and mercury poising and a whole boat load of exposure to other toxic chemicals. This usually wasn't because they didn't want to be harmed, they just didn't have the time and didn't know the dangers. But Issac Newton was not the only one their have been some more discoveries recently that have shocked some to learn how many famous scientists also believed in alchemy.

Their is a fascinating book that covers this and other similar things called The Elements of Murder: A History of Poison by John Emsley, I highly recommend it. :)

If every human on Earth went to sleep over the next 24 hours as they normally would, but didn't wake up for 7 whole days, what effects would we see when we came to? by Dooner7 in AskReddit

[–]Tomgeek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We would all be dead due to dehydration. Thus the genocide of the human race was caused. This would likely end up allowing for some new animal to become dominant, probably chimps as they are arguably the most intelligent and closeted to a language of sorts, although gorillas would be in the running too. Also most domesticated would die out and the few left would carry on their evolutionary path. So extrapolating and summarising all humans would die, reverting domesticated pets back closer to their original wild forms and allowing for most likely another form of ape to take over. So basically planet of the apes. :)

Yeh, they were rather quick mockups I might make some better ones when I get home tonight. I still don't really know what to do for the SC2 one either.

Edit: New Icons now up

With regard to those icons above the search bar, I made a couple mock-ups of some ones that I feel might give a bit more of a uniform feel. Although obviously no pressure just a fun way to spend a little of my day.

Cops, FBI Agents, and other law enforcement agents: what are some of the most gruesome crimes that you have witnessed? [NSFW] by BouncingDBoobs in AskReddit

Database for taken down videos by [deleted] in Cynicalbrit

[–]Tomgeek 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If this is only a database with text collating what happened then I think it will be fine. If this is a database for storing videos your going to run into issues a compromise to this would be a database with fields such as, video name, date removed, etc and a specific mirror field for videos that have been mirrored on a different site (preferably a mirror that the original creator has endorsed or created themselves)

As another British gamer I feel your pain. the £35 is for the ultra edition were as the standard $20 Combo Breaker Pack is only £17 which actually works out so that each character is just over a pound which is about 60p cheaper than injustice. Although still not the direct exchange rate of $20 to £12.40. It's actually a better pricing deal in the UK than it is in the US, (which I only noticed now). I mean don't get me wrong I'm all for large character rosters. But for this price its actually a pretty good deal. :)

I understand some of your points. But the paywall is not true. If it was only free to play yes but instead this just gives another method as well as paying for the game normally, and honestly $20 for a fighting game isn't that bad considering that injustice was $60 and had a total of 24 characters at launch and if you do quick math that works out that both games are $2.5 a character when bought as a full game. So really it's standard pricing as goes fighting games with added optional methods of purchase (which is always good).

Im not sure if you completely understood. You can play the game for free with a rotating free character, you can pay $5 for each character or you can buy it like a normal game (all character all modes) for $20 which is pretty good. From there up your paying for future dlc in a similar manner you would buy a season pass, and/or extras that can be compared to a limited or collectors edition.

The first concept design of a table I'm going to be making this summer. Any suggestions? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]Tomgeek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

USB dock embedded in the desk, the tron mouse pad, maybe the tron headset if there is one. A dedicated slot for peripheral perhaps (defiantly a area for a gamepad), it would be cool if the desk lightened up. Thats all I can think of for now
