Ah! followed!
Dude! I had no idea you were deaf! Cool! (well sorta..

Another reason to re-takeup learning sign!

Here is some interesting evidence. It shows why having "average" people with a heart for research make a difference in new ideas. It also shows how a serious solar storm could wreak serious havoc these days.

I fast forwarded to that part.

OOOooo cools stuff! Thanks TC!

Seriously Sigma...what's up with that???? You guys are hogging all the space rocks!! no fair! ;) I for one, TC, am not worried about Yellowstone. Given that it's constantly letting off gases and the like, very little pressure is building. Also, given its size, I doubt the whole thing would go at onc...

Duper

LOL! Cute.

...still scary though. Wouldn't want was as a pet..

just sayin.

Duper

really no different than cylinders. I thought the same thing though. This is where your material tech is critical.

New SC Specs!

Looking good!

It's called the Wankel engine. ^_^

Pretty nifty.

50 oz of liquid nitrogen. It's supercooled.

how the sun influences/causes large earthquakes. It's more like to gtavity. Sun's alsoresponsible for tides, but because 'o distance, smaller than moon. Like Jupiter affects to Io. Why there haven't been any sights from Venus, may 'cause the observers's weren'tt here in right moment. Actually, no D...

The latest on the "Eclipse" on Facebook

Trust me, there is more to this ship than what meets the eye on that post.

Duper

Hey TC, here is a link to a paper/video that hypothesizes how the sun influences/causes large earthquakes. https://youtu.be/zrqahnOx4CM The first 10 minutes or so is about what you'll need to watch. The rest is pretty much Q&A. Oh, another preparedness measure to take is to make sure that if you...

Duper

That would be good as the guy in the video broke his ankle during filming.

http://www.topgear.com/car-news/concept/top-gear-rides-lexus-hoverboard I'm posting this link instead of the Lexus site because this has a nice quick summary of how it works. *edit* Ahh.. the park has magnets built in it. bummer. :) Still, pretty cool. http://www.lexus-int.com/amazinginmotion/slide/

Here's a good explanation.

There are a couple of links within the post that prove greater detail.

She does a great job. Thanks Sigma!

Duper

Wow. I had seen a couple of others, but not that one. One of the vids I saw last year was from an American that explained that the area he was in (and filming) was all fill. They had filled in part of a bay to make more land. I was wondering if that was the case here or that they were just that clos...

Duper

Some of the flood plain on that map is also due to the Bonneville dam breaking a 1000 years ago or so.
Yeah, Corvalis is a pretty solid area. Great map!

Duper

*yawn* :mrgreen: I've seen this posted all over facebook for a week or so now. One. It's PURE speculation. All of us in the NW know about "the big one". There is no way they can substantiate the "when". .. that's like saying "you're going to die some day!" :o ...ya thin...

Lothar, is that a coop system?

I've been a fan of this line for a long time. They've got a new product on the market that looks interesting. I don't think I'll be getting it and I haven't checked price, but I thought I'd pass it along.

Duper

yeah.. remember this series? Well it seems they have been working on a film with a small crew for a while now. There is a lot I could add here but, eh..
Here's their teaser:

Nice!

Sure that isn't dust on the lens?

Skylanders is a kind of RPG/shooter with swappable characters. Each ranging from about $8-$10 all the way up to $25.

Duper

My grand-daughter is really into something similar called Skylanders. It uses something similar with a platform and figures. Each figure has different abilities and can be hot-swapped as shown. I devious and ingenious marketing ..er.. tool...and if I get this that's what I'll be. ...

That's Awesome SW! Congrats!

Interesting Avder. I'd not heard that. ..but it is encouraging. Honestly though, my fan-dom (?) for both Star Wars and Star Trek died of years and years ago. Horrible writing with Star Wars killed it with Ep 6 for me. Never looked back and Star Trek? ,,meh.. you can only do time travel so much...Aft...

As I understand it Episode 5 wasn't written by Lucas nor directed by him. He was never much of a write imo.

Duper

It's called the writer/producer thought it would be cute. This is fiction. That's the only reason. Just like using so much lens flare that the ship looked like a flying I-store.

Abrams loves cheese. He's mentioned that in more than one of his interviews.

Duper

Isaac wrote:Dang, if it's based on portal 2 I really need to go play it.

Yeah, you do. Portal two is a must play. Totally worth the 20 bucks.

Duper

...lol.. we won't mention Cloverfield...oh wait.. I just did.

Huh! Abrams is at the helm so we'll see.
Interesting!

Duper

Hmm..internet strikes again.

A person gets to put his/her own thoughts on "paper" and toss it out there to the masses and it's true.
Based on generalizations, and concludes in generalizations.

So goes the dredges of free speech.

Duper

Issac, and sigma. Point blank. you're acting childishly. Just because you're on a forum/internet, does NOT Give you the right to say whatever you think, however you think. You are a guest on their site. Their site, their rules. That's the way it is. You come to my house and act like that and use lan...
