Now we only need some protomolecule and we bat for the cycle.

I knew it was a bad idea to shoot all of the telephone handset sanitizers into space...

Nothing quite beats the Army's brief flirtation with: Maneuver Advanced Non-Commissioned Officer Course. Which presumably had a Kit associated with it.

I still miss my BP6 w/ dual 300a's @ 450...

If there was anything of King's that could be redone, it would be the full seven books of the Dark Tower, hell, that could be seven mini-series to get all of the canon in there.

Scrubtember is no more... all hail Scrubtober!

(talking about Biohackers here) At least there are people with skills on both sides. After this got rolling I was dreading a "science is bad m'kay" trope of genetic engineering / synth bio / transhumanism. They put on the good scientists vs bad scientists pretty well. I am curious to see...

I have been using a Dell P4317Q for years. At 3840x2160 it is a pretty standard resolution that can be handled by onboard graphics, and the price isn't too bad (frequent new sales around 800, but you can find them gently used down around 600-650). Yes it's a bit dated (thick), but the...

This article makes me want to read a Computer Shopper and dial into some text BBS games...

In Soviet Russia, public beta vaccine tests You!

FWIW, telling someone to fuck off repeatedly can be considered "regular contact". The point being, by the phrasing of the penultimate sentence (particularly when compounded by the intent manifested in the previous sentence to that), there appear to have been simple measures to avoid...

If you take six consecutive derivatives of any reasonably definitive thing, you usually end up with nonsense like "42". Math -> Physics -> Chemistry -> Biology -> Ecology (but also Psychology, which in turn -> Sociology). Glad someone is working on frameworks of evidence, because frankly, a...

Wow, Hypercard. I had to plug my brain's Bernoulli Box in to remember what that was!

FWIW, that picture from Resident Evil is actually from Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010) rather than the original. Yeah, I'm a dweeb who likes bad movies. And I'm in quarantine, so there's that.

Frankly, this sounds like someone who is about to suck-start a 9mm. Elon, please do not take the easy way out or go Howard Hughes. You have too much work to do.

I really see the first three novels as a set (Dune, Messiah, and Children), God Emperor as the nugget of Herbert's philosophy (in this series, at least), and then a second what-was-supposed-to-be-trilogy (Heretics, Chapterhouse, Dune 7) to close out the question of did "it" work. IMHO, the first...

Range anxiety is real, though it is different (and if you expand your apeture beyond just one brand of chargers, less of an issue). I took my M3 down to "3 miles remaining" one day (took the action of getting behind a semi on the interstate to make it to a supercharger). That being said, I...

Akin to the options when the Washington Bullets needed a new name... gag.

Live action Myst, GO!

I thought EDT was four hours behind UTC? Wouldn't this be CDT anyway?
