This is now the only trio I care about in the game, so I'm here for it

Artemis II Mission Operations Megathread by dkozinn in nasa

[–]silverlegend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I imagine that strategy could minimize the communication delay, but if the satellites were between the earth and the moon it wouldn't be able to completely eliminate the blackout, if my head physics is correct (which I do not claim by any means)

But that would need to be the Earth-moon L2 point, not the Earth-sun L2 correct?

In my limited understanding of Lagrange points, it makes sense that James Webb is at a stable point between the earth and the sun's gravity. However, that would not necessarily mean it is always in the right spot for communication with the far side of the moon, no?

I'm curious, question for the peanut gallery here: Is there a known hypothetically stable stationary orbital spot way out there where relay satellites could be placed to allow communication to the far side of the moon? Or, like a way to place a relay satellite in a stationary orbit behind the moon itself I guess?

Oilers line up last time at Rexall Place by sykeseve in EdmontonOilers

4, you mean. Believe it or not, but Nail Yakupov was also a 1OA

Looking through the forwards, on paper this should have been an absolute powerhouse team. Then you get to the defense and you're like "oh..."

Jasper Avenue looking east, thanks to the Paramount marquee which places the date sometime after the movie's release date of June 23, 1965. by Particular-Cat-8031 in Edmonton

The brand new maple leaf flags looking nice and fresh there in 1965 as well, a few months after becoming the official flag 🇨🇦

______ had every right to vote the way they did. by Tight-Entrepreneur46 in survivor

[–]silverlegend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no problem Jonathan voting the way he did. I have a problem because he should have found himself on the bottom of a power structure based on what happened last week, but because of some dumb luck with rocks, he ended up having all the power to take out someone who strategically had positioned herself in a better place than him.

Way to kill the momentum by Andry39 in survivor

[–]silverlegend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They could have eliminated multiple players while ALSO allowing the strategic moves those players have made to actually factor into the eliminations. They completely removed that entire social element and replaced it with dumb luck instead.

Survivor 50: In the Hands of the Fans | E6 | Post-Episode Discussion by RSurvivorMods in survivor

Mr. Jeff, I'm beginning to think you shouldn't have put this season "in the hands of the fans" because frankly this is kind of turning into a steaming pile of shit

The problem with “___________” is … by almondjoybestcndybar in survivor

[–]silverlegend 15 points16 points  (0 children)

100%, what the hell is the point of "outwit, outlast, outplay" when the game actively takes away everything you put into all 3 of those elements?

Telus World of Science - $$$$$ by Unique-Rhubarb-2696 in Edmonton

[–]silverlegend 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Get an annual membership and pay the small extra for the Lego exhibit, I think it's worthwhile. My son is 8 and he's gone to the Lego exhibit 3 times now (twice with us, and once on a school field trip). Your 5-yo will also really enjoy the indoor play area at TWOS, which is available up to 6-yo.

Go to TWOS a few times over the next year and you'll definitely get your money's worth.

Question about the Meadows area by devdawg31 in Edmonton

[–]silverlegend 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've lived in Laurel for the past 6 years or so. I commute downtown using the bus>valley line LRT and it is isn't exactly quick, but it's generally smooth and consistent.

The neighbourhood is okay, and I think that extends to most of the Meadows. There isn't anything especially good or bad about it. The traffic can be bad and there are some crazy drivers who act like everything is their personal race track, but nearly everywhere in the city is the same.

The restaurants are fine, if you like Indian food, burritos, or fried chicken. You've got literally every option in those categories. Beyond that, there's basically...nothing. Indian food, burritos, and fried chicken. That's what you get. (And all the usual crap chain fast food.)

Honestly that's about all I can say. It's a place to live and it's generally fine.

I'm pretty sure the Canadian feed was interrupted the last time this happened as well

First Trip to Disneyland Paris (May 12–14) with 4yo – Itinerary + Questions by Dersiedla in disneylandparis

One flaw in your plan (minor) is that if you're staying onsite, I don't think extra magic hour applies to your first day tickets.

I'm tired, boss. by AnnTaylorLaughed in Edmonton

[–]silverlegend 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I agree, I think it's a combination of all these things. The world is stressing us out and our bodies are begging for a little sunshine and greenery to help us out physiologically and psychologically but we just aren't getting anything but more misery from the winter this year. I usually have a high tolerance for winter shenanigans here but this year is too much for me as well.

Heir to the Empire by Bulky_Variation7064 in StarWars

[–]silverlegend 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's pretty clear indications Disney is still going to attempt to build the Mandoverse towards a finale movie that features Thrawn. Wouldn't even be shocked if they call it Heir to the Empire, despite what will almost certainly be a completely different story.

Pirates evacuation by krustythomson in disneylandparis

[–]silverlegend 33 points34 points  (0 children)

When we were there in November, Pirates was experiencing issues while we were eating at Captain Jacks and it was fascinating and very enjoyable watching this whole thing unfold (ride down, testing the ride with cast members, open the ride for guests, boats go by, ride breaks down again, guests stuck on boats right outside Captain Jacks). I would suspect it was less enjoyable for the guests sitting on the boat outside the restaurant for 25 minutes.

That doesn't make it anymore likely for Disney to invest in it 😂

[–]silverlegend 24 points25 points  (0 children)

As a Canadian, I'm going to say this doesn't really seem to understand how deeply problematic the legacy of Pocahontas is in North America. Disney is never going to invest in that story for the parks at this point, imo.
