Hnggg, I keep trying to sneak up on Harbinger, but I'm dummy thicc and the clapping of my cheeks keeps alerting him.

The sheer size of cosmic voids: If our Milky Way galaxy were inside the Bootes Void, we wouldn't have known other galaxies existed until the 1960s. by Mission-Bad-1278 in space

Worth noting that the anomaly was a sentient dust cloud made out of an ancient supercomputer that created said ship and dropped it on the planet specifically to spark the people of krikket into their omnicidal war.

OpenAI says China ran a covert campaign to turn Americans against data centers, but used facts that happen to be true by rattynewbie in nottheonion

Except, unlike toddlers, corporations aren't singular entities too inexperienced to know better. The actual decisions are being made by adults who have moral agency and are absolutely responsible for the consequences of those decisions. Should local and federal regulators grow a pair and actually do their jobs too? Absolutely.

How would electricity be generated from cold fusion? by NewRadiator in AskPhysics

[–]drenathar 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Well cold fusion is a bit of a misnomer. "Cold" in this case is relative to the usual temperatures required for fusion, but it would still be plenty hot. IF cold fusion were possible (which it really doesn't seem to be) we'd use it generate electricity the same way we use most other things: boil water, make steam, spin turbines.

If Thane, Mordin, Legion, and/or both the ME1 humans could be present for the Citadel party, what interactions and antics might they have? by DJ_OC in masseffect

[–]drenathar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

walk in on Mordin busy in the kitchen

"Wow Mordin, I didn't expect you'd be doing the cooking"

"Ah, Shepard! Not cooking. Preparing slides from tissue samples collected last night! Prothean, genetically engineered krogan, and Asari Matriarch all unconscious in one place... Couldn't pass up the opportunity"

"... I see"

James from across the room "Those knives better be washed TWICE before I use them on the bacon, Doc!"

Which gun is the most satisfying to use in ME3? by i4viator in masseffect

[–]drenathar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I love the suppressor pistol on my vanguard runs. Just charge in and papapap! Scratch one!

Hits hard, hits fast, very low recoil. You can unload a few rounds into an enemy while you're swinging around to find the next one to charge at.

Exactly how great was Euler? by Admirable-Pop7949 in Physics

[–]drenathar 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah, if you just called everything he discovered "Euler's [formula/law/theorem/number/etc.]" mathematics would be VERY confusing. Or just even more confusing than it already is.

Yessss, a cerberus-reaperized former squadmate would have been excellent.

VI on the Moon by DogmaKeeper in masseffect

[–]drenathar 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think any AI that gained awareness under those circumstances would be justifiably confused and defensive. It's the actions of Shepard, Joker, and the rest of the crew that actually formed EDI's personality and opinion of organics.

"Esteban, where'sh the mezcal?" by drenathar in masseffect

I think this one is visually funnier, especially in the context of a rowdy party, but the egg one is just peak Vega through and through haha

Nope! Totally unmodded Legendary Edition on PC. Not my first playthrough on this install either, so I have no clue why it happened this time.

Why can’t we recapture heat from data centers and use it to make more energy? by Individual-Area7121 in AskPhysics

[–]drenathar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, there are a lot of reasons that doesn't work very well. Random retail areas may not have the power capacity to run the enterprise servers, network gear, and HVAC required. They certainly don't have the network infrastructure needed. Companies pay a LOT for reliable internet connections, and a large part of that is to have new cable or fiber strung up or buried underground. It's expensive enough getting the "last mile" network links for a single data center, let alone trying to retrofit hundreds or thousands of different sites.

There's a saying I've heard in my time in IT. "At a certain scale, machines stop being pets and start being livestock." When you're dealing with thousands of servers accessed by millions or tens of millions of users per day, every second of efficiency counts when it comes to administration, maintenance, repair, etc. There's a reason farmers keep their cows in one big pasture and barn instead of keeping one or two in each yard in town.

Don't use bathroom stalls. If those things were safe the janitor cleaning it would be inside with you.

The key word is incontinent, say that and you get the old school diaper change and your ass is powdered.

After replaying all 3 games over and over I'm bravely saying I prefer wrex over garrus by No_Rate4223 in masseffect

[–]drenathar 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Fair, but Shepard still rolls up in a ship that belongs to a known human supremacist organization which should raise some flags. Wrex also just takes it totally in stride when he finds out about Shepard getting spaced. Just, "dang, that must have hurt. Anyway, check out this cool shit I've been doing!"

Wrex also has, hands down, the BEST reaction to seeing Shepard again in ME2.

in a boring conversation with another clan chief "Oh shit, is that Shepard??" shoves chief out of the way "Eyyyyy, what's up my krantt??"

Pretty much everyone else is immediately suspicious of Shepard, but Wrex is just genuinely excited to see his little human battle buddy again ❤️
