5 buttons, including the wheel is pretty much what is standard and acceptable even for gaming. Being able to ergonomically grip and move it without inadvertently pressing any buttons is a really under-rated feature. These premium offerings loading up the mouse with extra buttons can really be...

I am not sure that comedy or kids videos is really enhanced by this interactive format much. It seems to me it is much more powerful for dramas, where the watcher can insert themselves into the plot with the choices they are making. That is kind of more of what Bandersnatch was. I do see...

"Nature's reporting suggests that incompatible IT systems are significant reasons for this mismatch." This explanation is such a cop-out. The government has ever increasing mandates about how data sharing must be done. Now we are going to blame hospitals for not sharing data with entities...

You mean if someone feeling sick right now read this article they wouldn't like to know they can get tested faster commercially? Which political side is hiding information? The entire premise of the article that you will be less able to be tested then before is FALSE.

This article is purely political. It is complaining about the end of government sponsored testing program which takes a week or more. There is not a real health reason to complain about this when normal commercial labs now have testing nationally. Right from the Quest webpage: Quest...

A "sport" is really just any recreational activity which has been elevated to the level of having organized competitive events. If there is a crowd showing up to a competitive event with rules and prizes then that is a sport. Arguing something particular is not a sport when such events...

You have made a terrible mistake. When these sorts of entrenched interests have trillions of dollars at stake they have no reason to be "super cheap" in opposing it. The entire corporate news media and many politicians have been purchased and run by such interests. This is why we get the head...

You are rewriting history in order to build a narrative that is supportive of your pre-existing worldview. The facts are most certainly not that Obama had a strategy to weaken Russia by building domestic energy. Energy development that happened under Obama happened on private lands because of...

"steps toward a vehicle with potentially revolutionary capabilities, including landing and taking off propulsively from distant worlds including the Moon and Mars. " So if Starship actually works as hoped, and in space refueling becomes an operational reality, then where can versions of...

The Intermediate range missile treaty and the Anti ballistic missile treaty are two totally different things that have ended a decade apart. It really is amazing to see page after page of comments incorrectly blaming Trump in regards to the WRONG TREATY. This is a bunch of repeating of...

Star Wars is a cultural phenomenon that everyone gets exited for. Even so, can't we admit that all of the Star Wars stories and characters that take place after the second Death Star explodes are just dumpster fires? The new characters aren't great heroes, the plots make no sense and there...

The whole idea of rolling dice with various modifiers against arbitrary difficulty numbers to perform a task is kind of antiquated, isn't it? This leads to the constant situation where you roll a die and still have no idea if you succeeded on the action. You have to have a discussion with the...

The trailer here does give the impression that this will have recycled plot points from previous space movies. I see a few comments that a dune buggy scene on the moon is novel, but that is not even that original. There is a brief scene of dune buggy on Mars in the Space Between Us. That...

Something is wrong with the byline on this article. It must have been ghostwritten by Senator Richard Shelby, not by space reporter Eric Berger. That is the only explanation that I can come up with for how spending money for years on a rocket that has never flown is a good defense for what...

Yes, we can. You aren't seeing the big picture. SLS is a pork project because it is an expensive political project for which similar capabilities and results could be more efficiently purchased off the shelf from commercial providers. NASA has no reason to even be in LEO at all anymore. This...

The idea that Clinton is only mentioned on Trump issues as a deflection, as many seem to believe, is not really correct. The investigations are directly related. The timeline goes like this: 1)public calls for the Clintons to be investigated for Russia collusion are made 2)Trump declares...

You know, this actually kind of existed. It wasn't made by Chris Roberts or Origin and unfortunately it had a lot of problems back then. It would be better with modern technology. But it kind of did actually exist and was playable and supported large scale space battles. Jumpgate...

I loved the old Wing Commander games. Rebel Galaxy made me realize it is really not just the arcade twitch fighter pilot flying that made those games great at all. It is going on space missions, trading, upgrading and managing your ship ect that is really great. The naval type combat in...

Somewhat disturbingly, however, the data reinforces past indications that the PETM was relatively slow compared to our current carbon binge. This isn't disturbing, it is helpful. As is made clear elsewhere in the article, this shows that the Earth does not have a self reinforcing carbon...
