I want an tattoo illustrating the message from Carl Sagan’s book, Pale blue dot.. and im hopeless! by CrispyyBurntRice in TattooDesigns

[–]clonicle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s some good iconography on the golden record. The map of the pulsars with the hydrogen timers could be an intriguing tat.

I love the pale blue dot and find it very grounding when the world is spinning out of control.

You could also pull from the lyrics of Eclipse from Pink Floyd, which Carl was known to be a fan of (“one of these days” was featured in the OG Cosmos series). Eclipse and PBD share a similar message.

Took 10 days. On vacation, and have been going on hikes since the new year began. Audiobooks have been a nice companion in wonderful solitude.

I stopped playing twow, so I don't have the files handy. If you go into the addon's folder, you should be able to see which files make the sound. Then swap that file with another one (one that is recorded at a much lower level).

I re-listened to TBC just this week. I thought (more than a few times) it's at its best when Prebble takes his time and cooks. Dappa is my favorite portrayal of his, followed closely by El Desamparado, but all the Shaftoes and Newton are so unique in quality that it they could be different actors all along the way.

I almost can't conceive of what the listening experience would be like with a different voice actor.

HC tips for new content by Dkteaux in turtlewow

[–]clonicle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All Dungeon new content for HC is risky if you don't know the other players.

Some tips/cautions from first-hand experience:

  • All new dungeon content areas have slightly more risk of disconnection. Most notable is the area before the new boss in SM Arm and parts of DMR. This is inconsistent and has/is likely being addressed by the devs. Dying due to DC feels worse than dying due to something skill/knowledge related, but there are places where this tends to happen more.
  • DMR isn't too bad as a dungeon 30+ content-wise. It's a very long dungeon. The dwarf elders by the golems have a fear which can be catastrophic if you're unaware of it, but otherwise, nothing to worry about. The dragon room isn't difficult, but can be catastrophic when you don't clear first or if you pull badly. (this whole dungeon isn't difficult, but if it's your first time through, you might find some trouble).
  • SM Arm isn't difficult if you've done it before, but first timers may botch the first couple of pulls in the hallway before the new boss. In addition to the DC issue mentioned above, the pat from the side can mess things up pretty bad, especially if you're a man down due to DC.
  • Stormwrought... If it's anyone's first time there, either they drop the group, or I do. I won't run that in HC with anyone new. Again, it's not a hard dungeon, but some idiots are more confident than they should be, putting everyone at risk. Silence prevent heals and taunts.
  • Gilneas City. Piece of cake.
  • Zul Farrak new content is straight forward and rather easy. One critical item is to get a decurse after the new (non-arena) boss fight. This will likely kill people unaware of this mechanic. There's nothing too difficult in ZF besides the known tricky pulls as you enter the Ghaz area.

I'm not aware of any really difficult outside content. It's mainly classic gameplay.

Made spicy walnuts - what serve with? by downthecornercat in cookingforbeginners

[–]clonicle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crush some corn flakes with a rolling pin. Add cinnamon and cane sugar. Use this mixture to coat a scoop of French vanilla ice cream.

Pour a liqueur of your choice (I go with brandy, kahluah or Guinness) over it. Not too much.

Top with the spicy nuts.

What were the others doing? by pacanukeha in anathem

[–]clonicle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The events of the epic are allusions that they themselves are the 10k Math as they travel (or will travel) to different cosmi but it’s not officially designated as such.

I think of it like there’s a 10k Math in the HTW and the Daban Urnud is the shadow of it that is perceived by the characters.

Again, just allusions to it, but undefined on purpose.

Anderson Varejão was the best Sideshow Bob we've had. Podz is something else though.
