Even that view is Biocentric. Furthermore, the language of "the world is falling apart" is quite Geocentric, I mean c'mon, what year is it 2015 or 1515?

That can't be true, right?

perhaps the pilot doesn't have to divert much from their regular route to check in. Do they usually fly daily?

phrasing!

Very cool. I did something similar (but much less advanced) in math class where I generated something like a height map by "randomly" (I'd really just pick numbers that seemed good…

If your form of government, or I guess in anarchocommunisms case form of non-government, can't protect and perpetuate itself then it isn't a very good system at all. It seems like …

You "imagine" the effect is intensified but you don't actually have any evidence to support it. I've also worked at a restaurant as a waiter. Despite it being a very low end buffet…

Unfortunately it is hard to scientifically test the rule of cool

I'm imagining alien life nearing earth and then deciding to head to the next inhabited planet once they notice the wifi has a password on it much like you or I might drive a little…

I'm not trying to make a value judgement, but isn't this sort of counter to how English is typically spoken? Adjectives usually come before the subject, for instance, one would say…

Manslaughter? To me it looked like from the point in time that the assailant brandished the hammer to when he was shot the female police officer was within inches of having her hea…

On top of that in vanilla WoW people actually went through all the content in the game. People would complete most of the quests, go through the dungeons in your areas multiple tim…

It does have one. But the situation has to be very bad for enough people to be willing invoke it.

Why would one want IPv4 address space so badly? Is it so you can communicate with servers or clients that don't facilitate any form of IPv6?

Do you know of any resources that go in depth into how different layouts affect parallelism?

I don't think these two things can really be equated when you give them an honest look. In one instance you are preventing others from profiting off their own culture. In the other…

You are right we should properly define our terms. And of course as you pointed out it is very hard. Maybe if we defined them in a sort of reverse order it would be easier. Conside…

I'm not sure "consciousness" really exists. A computer surely isn't aware of what it is computing and you don't need a global state of consciousness to describe its functionality. …

I personally like the mess. If Reddit ever got "cleaned up" I don't think I would ever return.

>Next comes one of the worst and one of the best parts of D&D’s character system. D&D’s Race system is, frankly, kind of gross. The idea that a person’s race tells you something ab…

I like to call this "gategate"

Someone could do this in reverse, right? Take the demo of a fight between skilled players and derive what keys they would have had to press on the piano to make it happen. I know t…

Simple doesn't necessarily mean easy to understand, particularly when the thing doing the understanding is part of (and constrained by the rules of) the system being analysed. It i…

The stock market doesn't seem to be a very well designed game if such simple moves have to be made illegal.

I'm not exactly sure of the board culture here regarding unsubstantial comments but I'd like to thank you for taking the time to write all this out anyways. Same goes for everyone …
