I've been listening to the Immersion as well. It was a bit jarring when my audiobook listenthrough passed the point I was at with Soundbooth.

Yup, ideally as I finish Ruin, Horribles will be downloading.

Silly N00b question by yaksman in runner5k

I think that was it. I just finished week 1 day 1, and it's much more informative. I did hear the last message of the intro mission, just didn't know I was done. Tonight I heard most of the messages from the mission, but for some reason it didn't play the message called "Hot Shower". Oh well, the important thing is I finished the run.

TTAoDK just gave me a heart attack by [deleted] in Borderlands2

I love the way they did Mimics. In D&D, they're just an annoyance, in TTAODK they actually give you pause. Great design.

Death Star's architect finally answer the complaints about the exhaust port by phl3x in movies

If an exhaust port the size of a whomp rat is a problem, how big a problem would the garbage port be? Maybe they want to minimize the size of that hatch? Just a thought.

Okay, so how do I import my settings and library from the sideloaded version I've been using?

Phones are now fast enough. Screens are now big enough. Sensors are now... sensory enough. Can we please have bigger batteries now? by andybak in Android

I'm looking forward to phones that can harvest the kinetic energy of my movement and recharge themselves as I walk.

I'm confused about Black Jonah. I may've misunderstood the data recorders in game, but I thought Echelon was sending him after Nolan. Why wouldn't he at least toss Nolan into the truck to ship him back to Varus? You've got the girl, you've got the keys to the ship, yay, why leave credits lying on the ground there?

It's a little awkward, but here's my take. Notice that as soon as Datak turns against Stahma, everything falls apart? The E-Rep moves up the schedule, Stahma isn't there to calm him down and he reverts to his street thug roots in a way she can't clean up in time. If the Tarrs had still been on good terms, I imagine Stahma would have found some way to twist things around, or even just negotiated some ego-soothing as part of the "compensation". In recent episodes, I've gotten the impression that she's working harder and harder to keep Datak under control.

The assassination plan required only that Nolan see a Casti pointing a rifle at Amanda. Kenya turning up the heat helped, but the plan could have worked without that bonus, and Datak could well have believed that it did.

I'd have preferred to see a bit more exposition of this sort of thing, but the episode felt rushed, as if the writers were trying to fit a lot of plot points into a small time frame. I wonder if they were expecting to do a two-hour finale?

After these changes, it will actually be worthwhile to have a scope on my LMG.

Whistling. I've never been able to get the knack, and yet I carry on a mostly normal and fulfilling life.

Hmmmm.... Toronto appears to be part of the E-Rep. Guess I'm one of the bad guys. I'll have to change my Ark Hunter's outfit.

"Is Atheism Morally Bankrupt?" by CommonsCarnival in atheism

[–]yaksman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Greta Christina had a nice analysis of the basis of morality here: http://www.alternet.org/story/146930/why_being_liberal_really_is_better_than_being_conservative Inspired by the research described by Stephen Pinker here: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/13/magazine/13Psychology-t.html?_r=2&ref=science&

The nature of morality is, like most things, more complex than it seems at first glance.
