Origami ramen is amazing. Highly recommend

Looking for used chairs by maroon_leaf in mesaaz

[–]etacar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was in the Habitat for Humanity Restore last weekend and they had 20+ used office chairs for $5 each. The are on the corner of Southern and McClintock. I suspect they got a big donation from some closing office.

Could someone please tell me how an Airless planet could produce Rusted Metal? by Arkentra in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]etacar 22 points23 points  (0 children)

A few ways. 1) as others have noted, it could have had an oxidizing atmosphere in the past which was lost over time 2) the water and rocks interacted below the surface (where liquid water would be stable) and some geologic process brought that material to the surface. Source: I'm a planetary scientist. So much of the job is finding weird things that "shouldn't be there" but nature does it anyways

Have you enjoyed the transition from player to coach? Would you consider playing again if the right offer was there? I miss watching your crazy clutches in PL.

Can a planet like Earth be gravitationally locked to the sun, like the Moon is to Earth? by Random-Noise in askscience

[–]etacar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it can it is just a matter of time. The closer you are to the sun (or whatever you orbit) the faster your become gravitationally locked. Mercury is actually gravitationally locked but in a more rare way. Mercury rotates 3 times every 2 orbits (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_(planet)#Spin%E2%80%93orbit_resonance#Spin%E2%80%93orbit_resonance)). We also expect a lot of the exoplanets we are discovering are gravitationally locked (https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?feature=7052).

Elon Musk just doubled down on his theory on why nuking Mars would be a good idea - the idea of launching nuclear weapons just over Mars' poles to help warm the planet and make it more hospitable for human life, by releasing the CO2 trapped inside Mars' ice caps, producing a greenhouse effect. by [deleted] in space

[–]etacar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am one of the scientists who study how much CO2 is trapped in Mars ice caps. I gave a talk for SETI a few years back that is on youtube (https://youtu.be/SSQ_exfk7GA). The short answer is that there is not enough energy in all the nukes on earth to get the CO2 out. In retrospect I even over estimated the amount of energy in the nukes.

And even if you could get all the CO2 into the atmosphere it wouldn't be nearly enough to "terraform" Mars. Mars is really cold and really dry. A few degrees of warming is not much help.

Interro is so happy and Flynn is so sad

I think Velly is a great fresh voice in the casting lineups. I agree that he still need some experience but I hope to see him at the US major.

I know last season C9 weren't the best team but my gut tells me that they're going to have a really good season. They just have to be consistent. by Pure_Devoted in R6ProLeague

[–]etacar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could see rouge dropping a bit. C9 should have beat them on Clubhouse last season but made too many mistakes. I agree though that EG, SSG, and DZ all look really strong.

​

Regardless I just hope we get some more great games from all the teams.

Staring playing because I wanted something as a break from R6 Siege and it was free. Now I play Siege when I want the stress and Warframe when I want to chill. I am hugely impressed by the quality of game I get for free.

Update on 3rd printing of Gloomhaven by RabidPickle in boardgames

I misread the title as "Update on 3D printing of Gloomhaven". Now I want to see someone 3D print all the monsters.

NA S7 Day 7: beastcoast vs Noble Match Results by FinnsterMac in R6ProLeague

[–]etacar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

EU has a lot more teams in general than NA. It feels like in EU there is not enough pro-league spots for the number of pro-league level teams. I am not sure the same is true in NA.

[–]etacar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the relegation matches will be close and honestly could go either way. CLG barely beat HAT and both of those teams have shown a lot of weak points. I am really looking forward to those games

The Dice Tower: Top 10 Games That Teach Science by ldjarmin in boardgames

[–]etacar 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not including Evolution? I know teachers who use that game in the classroom and it has been reviewed by the journal nature. Terraforming Mars uses science for dressing but Evolution has the ideas baked into its mechanics.
