Do you know what episode that is? I would like to verify
Going to quickly scrub the show to check
Found it
About 9 minutes into the last episode...verifying
Confirmed
Using AI to artificially generate characters
Though insofar as this impacts its credibility as a masterpiece stands to reason one must assume by equal measure if not more every lord of the rings movie made has CGI
Nobody in their right mind thinks those trees looked real
Or those giant orcs or mammoths
dry dirge
all i know about rings of power are people being racist
i'm sure there are other reasons its bad but thats all i know
dry copper
Going to need more than people are being racist. The premise for the entire movie is based on racism against dwarves, elves, humans and the reconciliation of that indifference
dry dirge
um, i mean people being upset that... I think galadriel has a black actor
not sure which character
dry copper
Interesting. I thought that Cate Blanchett would be playing Galadriel again.
dry copper
Doesn't look like Cate was snubbed. She actually asked to not return to the character of Galadriel if chosen for the show
She wanted to play a bearded dwarf extra.
Presummably they're going to do another hobbit that runs in parallel to the hobbit from another perspective, where cate may return as galadriel
dry dirge
i mean, dwarves are awesome
dry copper
A sort of "This is what was happening elsewhere and how it all comes together" deal
The idea is to take away some of the glory of the main cast and redistribute the effective long term results of the war, to other characters and their role in securing the effective end of the war.
I suspect this is going to lead to a lot of shitty spin offs
Not to say it doesn't deserve a lot of spin offs
The Lord of the Rings is basically medieval star wars
broken prairie
it deserves good spin offs, if they are going to be like the rings of power, I dont want them
dry copper
really depends on the target demographic.
If it's hardcore fans, they'll probably fail....but if they just focus on rings enjoyers, they'll probably rope people into the genre
and while hardcore fans will winch and moan, rings enjoyers will just enjoy
Just more swag for the bag
Ultimately it all comes out in the wash and more fans enjoy the show
Sometimes fanatics can ruin a good thing by being too into purity

The only thing I'm "butthurt" about the rings of power is they messed up the dwarves.
I tried watching it, just doesn't feel like my show. I loved Galadriel but that's about it.
scenic hatch
I loved how they portrayed the dwarves... Especially the "plea to the mountain" and the rock breaking... epic lol
I agree it isn't everyone's piece of pie though. It's a very different style than LoTR and has very different cinematography

Yes, but female dwarves are supposed to have beards as well. I didn't see any.

You've been butt dialed.
AMD CPUs future chips can automatically overclock.
The AMD CPU can run at 95 degrees all day long without degrading
That's insane
With a CPU that can run 95 degrees with no degradation, that could change the entire market on system parts.
With such a high operating temperature builders will even have to consider the thermal integrity of the solder used on the motherboard
The melting point of cheap solder is around 90 degrees, but as the price and integrity goes up the thermal melting point does too as high as 450 degrees

The actual assessments are being done after the collision assessing how far if at all the asteroid it hit will move.
quaint escarp
really getting into this game
dry copper
Considering we have no idea if we'd be able to impact any kind of asteroid at speeds inside of the solar system, this test establishes a baseline for mathematical calculations in determining A) If it's possible and B) What we'd need to make it possible
If the collision moved the orbit of this asteroid in any way, having hit the object at over 14k miles per hour, that's a huge boost to the math in determining how much we'd need to effectively redirect a NEO aimed at the planet
I don't know what's suspect about it.
We used to set nukes off to test their impact on everything from the atmosphere to the PH balance in the soil
Also, we're going to need to worry about some seriously overpowered weapons in the future

quaint escarp

Hence, a waste. Better to use either lasers or some weaponry to destroy them...and propulsion/other systems to re-direct it, either away or for use.

Talking in general, not this specific one.

You're grossly overestimating the power of a laser for this task

They aren't going to fire a satellite at a NEO when/if it becomes necessary once they have the calculations nailed down.

For the sake of clarity...what does 'everything else' involve here?
Because even at those speeds...actually landing on the asteroid might've been a better option, which...eventually translates to better docking procedures.
restive current
(Especially since the satellite would certainly have thrusters to match speeds and orbits)
dry copper
You're asking me what options NASA has to defend the earth against a NEO? Assuming you're not joking - All of them.
Every weapon we've ever made is an option to use in saving this planet.
If you're asking what they need to calculate...
Yield, location, rotation, fallout, the interplanetary relationship between orbiting bodies and how that will be effected by different types of explosive forces. The math has never been tested.
We have never moved a celestial body in the history of the planet.
They certainly have ideas about how it will work and they may be 100% correct about them...but that's not good enough come the need for 100% correct answers to a real world problem
A problem never tested.
restive current
Very, very fair points. And I concur.
But...
DART is a test of our ability to achieve a kinetic impact on an asteroid and observe the asteroid’s response.
My point is why is kinetic impact the start of their whole research rather than actually testing landing/docking procedures so that eventually...you can have a ship launch miniature/size-dependent thrusters that attach to the body and re-direct it?
dry copper
Have you forgotten Rosetta?
restive current
Since I'm completely unaware of that, please do enlighten me.
dry copper
While not used to redirect, it was a probe created by the ESA, that together with its lander Philae landed on the comet Churyumov. In so far as landing on a celestial body at speeds, we've got that nailed down. If that is an option worth considering it's already been tested as viable.
Carrying a payload big enough to move a NEO that's almost certainly spinning wildly in its course for earth, it's a big ask to try and redirect by landing on it
It's one thing to flick a ball with your finger. It's a whole other ballgame trying to land on it spinning
I don't believe this test was meant to run the numbers with the idea we had that option in mind
In any case it's only the first of its kind
This is just the beginning.
Incidentally, an Apollo sized asteroid is near earth today
It will be closest in three days

Its more or less a very critical measurement device
to know the energy necessary to move a object
so when we do need to move one, we know by how much

We don't know when one of these asteroids is going to be dinged on its way out or back in and change orbit

Frankly, dart was a brilliant design
and absolutely necessary at this stage

Agreeable. Though is it not possible to know the mass of things using other means?

Especially considering how often we get hit
We actually had a fair sized one hit the ocean near iceland, not that long ago
Well, considering the nature of that asteroid, a little harder, its a pile of boulders held together by gravity
dry copper
It is not only possible. It's very likely they know exactly what the results of this impact are going to be down to the math, but good luck selling the idea of something to save the earth against a tested methodology.

I didn't even consider it as a risk
Fortunately I managed to pry them apart
glass plinth
Thats activated by friction and other things
and thats fed by centrifugal forces
So technically I was right:P

Turns out this is the day of their NHL 95 championship game for the Super Nintendo emulator
When I was younger the game stores all had community events like that
All the locals that liked to game would join into these local gaming competitions
Sometimes the gamestore would get sponsored by the local arcade and get a temporary donation of an arcade game machine
Other times they'd set up a rental system in a glass case and set up controllers for locals to get into it
I miss those community events
There are some retro gaming communities out here still but it's not the same
The only gaming communities that seem to survive play board games

So I just tried the Trial of MLB The Show 22 on my PS5 and it looked…pretty terrible. Anyone else tried this? I like The Show games for the RTTS mode but the graphics and animations of this one looked, just, bad. I haven’t played since The Show ‘19 and this one looks worse than that one imo.

Yeah and RTTS = Road To The Show. It’s a game mode where you create a player and work your way from the Minors to the Hall of Fame.
I hate this “one company only” thing with sports games. It makes them seemingly lack polish on a lot of core things like graphics and animations.

Change stats, update player list, a bit of dialogue, push it out
Sadly, consumers show they like that, or at least don't mind it. Gotta get more gamers voting with their wallets to see change

It is evidence of the results of such an incredible biodiversity in Australia though.
Australia is by and large the most biodiverse continent on earth
There are more varieties of life (not necessarily more in population) in Australia that even the rain forest.
One of the huge reasons there was such an alarm when they had so many fires years back
The number of species that went extinct thanks to those fires is incalculable
We haven't discovered most of them

I liked the setting and I liked seeing Regis
But Hearts of Stone blows it away story-wise

Only thing I didn't like about blood and wine was the aerondight sword hidden in it
Literally the most powerful sword in the entire series, locked behind a paywall
It felt dirty. Tainted by the association
I'd considered not getting the dlc for that reason alone. On a principle of not rewarding bad behavior
Then there was a deep discount...So....

There's a concern it will make the game gimmicky, and while that might be worth considering, the game is already gimmicky and if he doesn't go all in, it's definitely going to make it a poor cameo appearance versus a fleshed out character in the franchise.
Though if the trailers are any indication, his character isn't fleshed out.
and that's truly unfortunate....because trailers are where you introduce yourself
A cameo appearance in the trailer with no character development or motivation demeans the actor and the project as a whole. He becomes a faceless avatar and his avatar becomes an emotionless totem
I still hope it's misleading and his character is fleshed out though.
At least more than this trailer presents

Ejecta? I barely knewa

which probably means either from the sun or mercury

Either way, way cool catch
Of course the weirdest orbit I ever saw was a asteroid with a cork screw orbit
It had fallen into the Intergalactic Highway
Look it up, way cool concept
Basically a line of gravity paths of least resistance, between many bodies
You can use it when places a satellite into orbits, while minimizing fuel use
