  1. Why would I need such a newfangled gadget?
  2. Because like an idiot I forgot to plug the ethernet cable back in.
  3. Nope, we don't have those records.
  4. SpaceX was scheduled to attempt a GEO launch today with an attempted first stage landing on a drone barge 400 miles downrange. That launch has been postponed until 630pm EST Thursday. Apparently this is a reused first stage, the one that successfully returned to the launch site a couple of months ago. Though they will attempt to recover the stage again, they're not really expecting it to work--the geosynchronous launch requires a longer burn, so the stage will have much less fuel reserves to work with. That's also why the landing attempt will be offshore; there is no way the booster would have enough fuel to make it back to solid ground.
  5. Das Boot is a gadgeteer whose heavy diving suit has been heavily modified. It's been ruggedized, of course, and it boasts some strength augmentation to help with the weight. It mounts an array of powerful optics and microphones. But most notable is the electrogalvanic generators that generate a field which allows him to turn invisible and even phase through solid objects. His primary weapon is a low-velocity rocket launcher whose rockets are equipped with their own invisibility fields. But he has also been known to use a harpoon, or even a large monkey wrench, if circumstances dictate.
  6. I can't stand it, I know you planned it I'm-a set it straight, this Watergate I can't stand rockin' when I'm in here Cause your crystal ball ain't so crystal clear So while you sit back and wonder why I got this f__kin' thorn in my side Oh my god, it's a mirage I'm tellin' y'all, it's sabotage
  7. So tear me open and pour me out There's things inside that scream and shout And the pain still hates me So hold me until it sleeps
  8. Blue on black Tears on a river Push on a shove It don't mean much Joker on jack Match on a fire Cold on ice A dead man's touch Whisper on a scream Doesn't change a thing Don't bring you back Blue on black
  9. When you play the Game of Questions, you ask or you die. There are no declarative statements.
  10. I thought it was just a matter of takes one to know one?
  11. Are you asking for permission or forgiveness?
  12. Isn't confusion a prerequisite for posting here?
  13. Badly nearsighted from a very early age until I had my eyes lasered out fourteen years ago. Best four grand I ever spent. Now I'm getting farsighted but my distance vision is still 20/10.
  14. F*** you I won't do what you tell me F*** you I won't do what you tell me F*** you I won't do what you tell me F*** you I won't do what you tell me F*** you I won't do what you tell me F*** you I won't do what you tell me F*** you I won't do what you tell me F*** you I won't do what you tell me F*** you I won't do what you tell me F*** you I won't do what you tell me F*** you I won't do what you tell me F*** you I won't do what you tell me F*** you I won't do what you tell me F*** you I won't do what you tell me F*** you I won't do what you tell me F*** you I won't do what you tell me Motherf***er
  15. That's... not what nearsightedness is?
