I was wondering how the scientists went from proposing a planet that was 1.5 to 2 times the size of earth, to proposing it being 5-10 times the size of earth.

The old money guy who took home a road kill bear for food, and contracted a brain eating parasite, is now running the food and drug administration.

We’re all gonna die from parasites, aren’t we. The brain worm was just playing dead and wants to infect us all.

Jim bob can’t, because they’ll kill him easily.

Now if there’s thousands of Jim bobs, all moving around, things get tricky. Now you need people on the ground looking for these people.

We spent 20 years in the Middle East fighting this exact kind of war, and guess who still exists? The fucking terrorists.

You Should Really Considering Explaining Acronyms Before Posting, obviously.

A remote command from some random phone to reboot does sound like the a wonderful vector for malware, though

I was worried because we didn’t know how heavily involved Bethesda was in writing and story development.

The studio has been in steady decline, writing wise, for a very long time. The games are still fun, if you mod it or ignore the main quest for as long as possible, but the writing is still pretty abysmal.

I was pleasantly surprised to find the show well written, with lots of references to classic fallout. And to hear that New Vegas will be in the second season, has me really excited.

Designing any kind of space vehicle is always a trade off.

The vehicle needs to be light enough to be launched from earth to mars, but durable enough to fulfill its mission goals.

I’m sure if nasa had access to a vehicle that could send an M1 Abram’s sized, solid steel rover to mars, they totally would, but that would probably cost more than a moon mission, and the whole point of rovers is that they’re fairly cheap for the amount of research you can get out of them.

Ah yes, because police love when people start reaching for objects under car seats

It’s just a ball of plane batter with coke mixed in.

Look up a recipe for fritters made with flour, replace some liquid with coke syrup. Easy.

I remember doing the bear grills one, and one of the choices was to jump over a ravine, or walk over it using a fallen tree as a bridge.

Being the hiker I am, the obvious choice of walk around it being missing kind of annoyed me, but I chose the tree option.

Bear died.

So I got to go back and pick the jump over option, which was apparently the right one.

Who the fuck does running jumps over a 15 foot deep ravine.

I never bothered with the choose your own adventure things again. When the correct choice is just not available and the next logical choice just means an instant loss, you don’t have a very fun game
