If you don’t test for it, it WILL rear its ugly head again.

It doesn’t HAVE to be that intelligent life is its own doom, but it does seem increasingly likely.

Haha! Roasted!

Haven’t gotten back around to the Ultimate Alliance games yet, but I recently picked up the XMen Legends games that preceed them on the OG Xbox.

Still quite a bit of fun.

I actually found and picked up Midnight Sons when I was looking on the PS store to see if those games had been ported.

I love Midnight Sons. It’s very similar in a lot of ways but the gameplay is quite different. I’m told it’s like XCom games by the same company, but I’ve never played that.

Interacting with your team back at base is definitely bigger than in XMen legends, and for some gamers it was too much… a bit of ‘friendship simulator’ to it to increase team chemistry etc.

The gameplay is card based. I recommend looking up a video if curious. It’s not for everyone, but those who love it really love it. Count me as one of them.

His name was Marauder Shields…

In his essay “To Tell a Chemist” (1965), Asimov proposed a simple shibboleth for distinguishing chemists from non-chemists: ask the person to read the word “unionized”. Chemists, he noted, will read un-ionized (electrically neutral), while non-chemists will read union-ized (belonging to a trade union).

Correct!

Did some checking, out of curiosity.

And yeah. Interesting as hell.

We recorded 65 dBSPL (dB of sound pressure level) ultrasonic sounds 4 inches (10 cm) from tomato and tobacco plants, implying that these sounds could be detected by some organisms from up to several feet (meters) away.

I’m also one of today’s 10,000!

P! = NP sounds like a fun find.

Just tried this.

So fast!

This guy’s AI! Everybody grab a pitchfork!

Omg lol

I bought the whole show on DVD a few years ago because it wasn’t streaming anywhere. No clue if it was ‘accurate’ though.

Just noticed it’s now streaming on prime a few days back.

Thought I was buying a normal copy of the Drew Carey Show, but it was definitely not. Still enjoyed it.

Not with teeth like that!

I disagree on this point. Say what you will about midichlorians, but even before they were introduced, not everyone could use the force.

Granted that wasn’t explicitly stated in A New Hope… that random farm boy was already special because he was the son of a great Jedi Knight.

Thanks! Didn’t know she was in this.

What’s this from?
