  1. Yeah, Sgr A* is a lot smaller than M87, so I think theyre about to show how their imaging technique has improved.
  2. Alternating heights on the grass rows! Fancy! I never had the patience for that.
  3. Oof, Im not sure I could have beaten the game without Mordenkainen’s Sword. One of my favorite spells.
  4. Probably something about the black hole in the Milky Way: Astronomers to Announce Groundbreaking Result on the Center of Our Galaxy at Press Conference | Center for Astrophysics (harvard.edu)
  5. Ive never tried bone marrow or black garlic but it sounds delicious. Im a garlic fiend.
  6. @Bartimaeus Have you ever tried a copper set (I havent): Amazon.com: Lagostina Martellata Hammered Copper 18/10 Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Cookware Set, 10-Piece, Copper: Home & Kitchen
  7. I love my cast iron skillet. Fry up some bacon, or beat a burglar within an inch of his life. I bought it used so Im not sure of the age.
  8. Magnum and nuHiggins finally shipped! @Amentep What do you mean by the above post? What is the "magic 100"? Episodes?
  9. Went fishing with one of my buddies. A couple strong bites and had one hooked for a few exciting seconds before it spit the hook. It was good to get back at it again after a 2 year hiatus.
  10. Youde think with all the commercial satellite imagery coming out of there they would be able to verify these claims in (almost) real-time.
  11. My kid took the union plumber test, scored 930.89 / 1000, and was accepted to the union. w00t! Then we went and replumbed the garden hose faucet at the front of the house.
  12. Its really good, in my wife and I opinion.
  13. They were simply the friendlies civilians that I ever encountered overseas. Most US ports of call are set up specifically for pleasure and separating us from the almighty Dollar (seriously, the exchange rate at that time was ludicrously in our favor.) Chile was different in that a US naval vessel hadnt been there in YEARS so the locals were excited to see us. They were lining the docks and cheering for every liberty boat that pulled up, when they noticed us struggling with Spanish they would go out of their way to translate for us, the women couldnt wait to approach us at the clubs. Its the one and only country that I took a tour while I was there. We hiked up some mountain (Andes?) and then white water rafted down. Good times. @Amentep Do you have the crying meme from BIS?
  14. CVN-65 and CVN-72 Exactly! The people of Valparaiso are the kindest Ive ever met (circa 1990).
  15. While I was in the Navy Ive been to: Hong Kong (when it was still British), Philippines, Thailand, Singapore, Brazil, Chile and the Virgin Islands. We could be at sea for weeks at a time but during shore duty the rotation was 5/2 (five days on liberty / 2 days on ship duty). It was the best decision I ever made in my life up to that point.
  16. I used to be a bad guy. My motto was "two a day, every day, never the same one twice." But you have to understand, this was a different time in the world.
  17. Weird that people are still confused about where babies come from. Cant fix stupid. A long time ago, in a galaxy far away, while I was in the Navy and we were going on shore leave, they would station a giant tri-wall box full to the top with condoms located right next to the gangway. Everybody just grabbed a fistful on the way out. Maybe we should try something like that. CONDOMS FOR EVERYONE!!! Well, prolly not in redneckville (TX).
  18. ^Have you seen True Story on Netflix?
  19. At 3:06, a dead guy scratches his nose.
