    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    That's a good way to do it but you're still brave. I would never buy something like that or a piece of clothing for a woman unless she had asked for a specific item or it was something like wool socks or a beanie hat or something generic like that. Not saying it's a bad thing to do but I have...

    Reacher

    Good thing those Indonesian chicks are good with those karambit knives because apparently 700 rounds from a machine gun is not enough for them to disable a Ford Taurus or hit any of the occupants of it. This show has always been silly, but it seems to be going to a new level this season. The...

    The Astronomy Thread

    Just thinking about it now, maybe the best thing you could hope for on a multi-generational voyage would be that after a couple hundred years someone on earth would invent warp drive and they would come and rescue you on a better ship.

    Not only were these journeys only a couple of months, but there were islands every so often to resupply on and you could like, breath air and catch fish all of the time. For a certain amount of the journey, you could even turn back if something broke and try again later. Imagine if you had to...

    The Astronomy Thread

    I don't see anything here I disagree with. Even if you can keep your nuclear reactor running (with lots of spare parts) for 100 years, you're not even close to lasting long enough for interstellar travel, and then you also need to keep your computers and washing machines and food machines and...

    By this logic the fact that someone said it is impossible means that it is possible? I guess the only reason we can't swim naked in molten lava or hold our breath for 100 years is because we're weak cowards?

    Yeah, we'll make it work because reasons and because we have big balls! Awesome. We're awesome and tough.

    Yeah, I think that's just a deal breaker. Even if you can have some version of manufacturing on the ship, you have no way of getting more raw materials. Everything on the ship is going to wear out and need replacing not just a few times, but possibly hundreds. How long would a car engine last...

    2026-2027 NFL Season - The Vikings Are Looking For Their Sam Darnold

    Yeah, so many people opt out of it that the actual game is meaningless now anyway.

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    I'm with her.

    The Astronomy Thread

    Yeah. We spent 10 generations in a Winnebago that we could never leave but at least we were able to become the first colonists on a new planet and then were immediately killed by a virus. We would be legendary on earth except no one there knows what happened to us because you probably can't...

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    Watching that video makes me think, much like the robot vacuums, you would have to make sure things in your house were perfect for it, and then you're still going to come home 50% of the time and find it stuck under the couch or that it sucked up a USB cord or a sock that fell out of the hamper...

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    My grandmother was pretty sure she was going to die shortly after my grandad did but to her disappointment, she lived another 10 years.

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    Maybe the #1 female singer songwriter ever. Certainly one of the ones that had the longest career. RIP
