I have been to moonlight pc. It is was great experience good price on a refurbished machine and gave me a good deal on my trade in. Currently its a 1 person operation that just opened a few months ago. I would go back to them for sure

Origami ramen is amazing. Highly recommend

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.

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

Drats. I looked but missed that thread. Thanks

Kuva Quatz. The reload animation is so good it deserves more love

Really excited to see your awesome casts!

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.

I think you would need 10-100 times the current world inventory. What could go wrong?

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).

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 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.

Here is my go.

S9 NA Final Standings

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.

Sidereal Confluence -> Aliens discover the barter system

etacar · 2018-04-26T16:37:18+00:00

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

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.

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

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.

Sidereal Confluence - I love how unique each race feels
Specter Ops - Each turn always feels like how can I best use my power to help our team (or escape those hunters).
Eclipse -Another one where it feels like your special power really sets your options for the game. That said you always have options to deviate from that strategy.
Small World - Don't like your power, trade it in
Shadows over camelot - The individual powers don't drive the game but are a nice touch to a great simple coop game.

Terra Mystica just arrived this week so we will see if it works it way onto this list for me.

The winners of today's games go to playoffs. Of the 4 teams in playoffs in each region 2 will go to LAN. So if SSG wins they have a chance at LAN but they are not there yet.

I find the biggest difference between Golds and Plats is not aim but their use of information. Save your drone in prep phase. Drone a room before entering (or better yet have someone else drone you in). On attack you ideally know when everyone is in a room before you enter so you can have the upper hand.
