  - And of course, any eclipse photo is evidence of earth being "round". -- (link) - Beryllium Nov 29, 11:29 [flickr] 6
    - technically that shows the moon is round (I presumed from your image a solar eclipse). You may have been referring to a lunar -- (edited) - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Tenth Astronaut Nov 29, 11:33 1
      - Oh, fair enough. I don't have a lunar eclipse photo. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 29, 11:34
    - It can be flat but still circular. -- nm - Ender Nov 29, 11:32 3
      - They're the ones who said "round", which could be construed to mean a flat circle. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 29, 11:33 2
        
        The replies indicate they use "round" to simplify communication. They mean an oblate spheroid. -- nm - mara Nov 29, 11:43 1
        
        I'm calling it. We need a new force for revealing the truth. -- (link) - Beryllium Nov 29, 11:44
  - Obviously that's just a sound stage. Such and such wouldn't do so and so in near zero gravity. -- nm - Butterbaron Nov 29, 11:29
  - I saw Gravity. That was all fake, looks just like this. It's easy to make "space" footage. -- nm - colin Nov 29, 11:28

No deal is in place between Tennessee and Purdue's Jeff Brohm and not close to being done at this point, although there have been discussions. -- (link) - budice Nov 29, 11:00 4
- Jimmy Hyams says otherwise. -- nm - David Nov 29, 11:28 3
  - (But I'd rather Low be right since I'd prefer Tee Martin.) -- nm - David Nov 29, 11:28 2
    - He did win a championship unlike that Manning hoser. -- nm - Butterbaron Nov 29, 11:30 1

- everybody should just stay home this christmas -- nm - decline Nov 29, 11:53
- RyanAir did the same thing this fall. -- nm - spamlet Nov 29, 11:22
- guess they'll be paying for some vacation cost refunds. not like they're not going to have pilots. -- nm - colin Nov 29, 11:00 2
  - It's very weird. Apparently it's not to be easy to fix without violating the union contract. -- (link) - mara Nov 29, 11:09 1
    - huh. that's crazy. -- nm - colin Nov 29, 11:12

- What a story Mark. -- nm - Shaun Nov 29, 10:57
- James Franco's vanity projects have been horrible so far.. why does anybody think this will be good? Just watch The Room and you're good. -- nm - colin Nov 29, 10:56 13
  - The reviews and fan reaction have been overwhelmingly good. -- nm - Inigo Nov 29, 11:13 5
    - i think people are in love with the hype... if he made it, released it without saying a word, i think it would be ignored. -- nm - colin Nov 29, 11:16 4
      - Wouldn't that be true of almost any film? Marketing\word-of-mouth is key. - Inigo Nov 29, 11:23 3
        
        yeah, i guess so. but i think the articles and pictures from shooting are bigger than the movie itself.. we'll see, i'll try to make it through.. - colin Nov 29, 11:27
        
        I'd argue that the book has a base far beyond "The Room lovers". -- nm - Ender Nov 29, 11:25 1
        
        agreed -- nm - colin Nov 29, 11:32
  - No, I'm pretty sure watching The Room would make someone bad, not good. -- nm - Qale Nov 29, 10:58 2
    - i should have said "you're at capacity" -- nm - colin Nov 29, 10:59 1
      - Anyway, how is your sex life? -- nm - Qale Nov 29, 11:02
  - I hope it is good and he gets to do his hard R Multiple Man movie for Fox. (although Madrox is a weird choice for a hard R movie) -- nm* - Beaker Nov 29, 10:57 3
    - NC-17 on the other hand.... -- nm - Butterbaron Nov 29, 11:06 1
      - he should be brave and try to get them to create a new rating just for that movie. -- nm - colin Nov 29, 11:13
    - you can hope all you want, it doesn't change his 0 and however many record. -- nm* - colin Nov 29, 10:59
the blue lines in the message response page are melting. i'm not sure if i should be concerned. - colin Nov 29, 10:54 2

So annoyed at IT/new laptop. If I am in the office, then leave to go to another location. - tRuMaN Nov 29, 10:43 9
- What kind of crap hardware is that? - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Tenth Astronaut Nov 29, 10:53 4
  - dell latitude something. when i have this issue, the Network page in windows tells me that Corporate IT has limited some functionality. - tRuMaN Nov 29, 11:04
  - yeah, i had this issue years ago, most IT orgs have figured out how to fix it since. -- nm - colin Nov 29, 11:00 2
    - My wife's laptop at home was constantly giving me shit. I ended up taking it apart and replacing the miniPCI wifi chip myself. Horrible chipset. -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Tenth Astronaut Nov 29, 11:03 1
      - i just got a usb wireless N adapter to fix this on one laptop. kudos for pulling apart the laptop :) -- nm - colin Nov 29, 11:15
- my laptop shuts down when I close it. they can't figure out why. I am constantly losing work when I move from one location to another. -- nm - amanda jones state university Nov 29, 10:51 3
  - We had a laptop like that. I went into the advanced power settings and basically turned everything to off/never sleep/etc and it worked - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Tenth Astronaut Nov 29, 10:54 2
    - my settings are the same as everyone else who has my machine (latitide 7370). I -- nm - amanda jones state university Nov 29, 11:08 1
      - 'm not allowed to change them. if I do, they revert right back the next time I reboot. -- nm - amanda jones state university Nov 29, 11:08

- heh -- nm - JaxSean Nov 29, 10:33
re: Jax, #twotokensandablue -- nm - Shaun Nov 29, 10:28 27
- Maybe they are really great tokens! - JaxSean Nov 29, 10:32 2
  - D1, but only available for those that went flawless in Trials. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 29, 10:33 1
    - Ah, thanks. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 29, 10:33
- I try not to get worked up over this stuff, I still enjoyed thehell out of IB. -- nm - groiny Nov 29, 10:31 23
  - The XP BS bothers me the most. -- nm - Shaun Nov 29, 10:35 22
    - To me, the XP is just fluff at this point. - JaxSean Nov 29, 10:38 18
      - if they had better dance moves, I'd get more excited about the engrams -- nm - crash davis Nov 29, 10:48 5
        
        (still nothing I'd actually pay for.) -- nm - JaxSean Nov 29, 10:51 1
        
        I wouldn't either. I'd just be more excited -- nm - crash davis Nov 29, 10:53
        
        wait for it. -- nm - groiny Nov 29, 10:48 2
        
        you know the Charleston that Antonio Brown does in that commercial? I'd be down for getting that emote -- nm - crash davis Nov 29, 10:50 1
        
        it was in Destiny 1 IIRC -- nm - groiny Nov 29, 10:51
      - But they were intentionally throttling your XP gain to hinder earning those bright engrams in the hope that people would spend real money to buy them. -- nm - Shaun Nov 29, 10:39 10
        
        again, once you hit level 20, XP is purely cosmetic. - groiny Nov 29, 10:41 9
        
        It's not really the point though. They actively coded a mechanism to explicitly hinder player progress. - Shaun Nov 29, 10:51 5
        
        Meh. Based on their post: - JaxSean Nov 29, 10:56 1
        
        But they also *doubled*the amount of XP needed to "level up" when they fixed it. Still pretty shitty of them. I agree, as I said earlier in the week - Spawn Nov 29, 11:27
        
        the point is people wanna get upset about something, they will get upset. - groiny Nov 29, 10:55 2
        
        I'm mostly just disappointed about how bored I am with it. I figured I'd easily be playing this daily up until the first DLC. - Shaun Nov 29, 11:07 1
        
        I understand. - groiny Nov 29, 11:09
        
        well, except for the possibility of getting a mod ,yes. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 29, 10:44 1
        
        even then, once I found out about the exotic farming method, the engram buying became useless. -- nm - groiny Nov 29, 10:45
        
        Right, that's what I meant. Once you hit 20, it's fluff. (And stuff I wouldn't buy.) - JaxSean Nov 29, 10:42
      - well, you get some mods in the engrams too, which you need to make purple mods. That is all I care about right now. -- nm - groiny Nov 29, 10:38
    - yeah, it was pretty shitty to do to make people buy bright engrams. -- nm - groiny Nov 29, 10:37
    - did you buy whatever to buy bright engrams? I understand the frustration - tRuMaN Nov 29, 10:37 1
      - I bought about 10 bucks worth of them when trying to get purple mods. -- nm - groiny Nov 29, 10:38

  - haaaa - stop it - I have to work next to people and I'm dying laughing but it is true. - Epiphany Nov 29, 11:17

groiny, I meant Cap's suit in Winter Soldier. -- nm - Shaun Nov 29, 10:16 2
- same point stands -- nm - groiny Nov 29, 10:17 1
  - Not compared to Winter Solider's. Compared to Cap's suit in Avengers. - Shaun Nov 29, 10:19
why was I looking at that 7.75 million dollar dump? This 18.5 M house is more my style. Mortgage is a measly &68,298/month. -- (link) - crash davis Nov 29, 10:16 4
- no pool! -- nm - amanda jones state university Nov 29, 10:23 1

- But how many grounding crystals are there on the property? -- (edited) - ReluctantCynic Nov 29, 10:21 1
  - 560 feet of Big Wood river access. Fly fishing grounds a man far more than a hunk of quartz. -- nm - crash davis Nov 29, 10:22

  - I'm telling you know - it will touch your heart - sort of sadly. -- nm - Epiphany Nov 29, 11:18 1
    - oh good! i like something a little sad... -- nm - colin Nov 29, 11:24
  - Dude, seriously. -- (link) - Shaun Nov 29, 10:38 1
    - i know! i loved Coraline.. I'm really looking forward to it.. i just want it to be at the right time, when i'm focused. -- nm - colin Nov 29, 10:52
- Isn't a kubo something like a gazelle or an eland? -- nm - crash davis Nov 29, 10:26 5
  - No, it was the best animated movie of last year. -- nm - spamlet Nov 29, 10:29 4
    - Stop motion animated to be accurate. -- (link) - Shaun Nov 29, 10:34 [Image]
    - was the animated movie about a gazelle or an eland? -- nm - crash davis Nov 29, 10:32 2
