OV9

Finger lickin good.

But I now have a restraining order.

Yeah, I thought him going from Witcher to WH40k is basically a rod for his back. You literally have the star power mate, just ask them to delay production for a couple of years, they'll do it . All he's done now is infuriate one fan base, and taint another - good job . Didn't Caville bail on The Wi...

Yeah, don’t send an SF team that are deployed for this sort of thing all the time and would probably not kill every man, woman and child on board.. just slice up an entire ship and then miraculously find the (undamaged) item in the 1000 tons of twisted, burning metal. Oh and then it’s unbreakable e...

8% Ginger beers over summer are a recipe for extreme naptime.

Ginger Kid my favourite although tbh I think 4% leads to a longer more enjoyable session in the sun.

Oh yeah, nano fibres reminds me: What if he held the records of the conversation in line with the fibre? The whole notion that slicing the ship to pieces was the best way to recover that information was ludicrous, probably one of the absolute weakest parts of the whole show. That was my favourite b...

I'd happily start a thread to discuss the science in the show, as I find this part of physics fascinating. I don't think I'd get many takers though. :lol: I could talk about theoretical physics all day long :lol: Away from multidimensional stuff and nanofibres one scene struck me as unbelievable fr...

They don't understand falsehoods because they're nearly a hive mind, individual thoughts are "broadcast". Afaik they do have imagination. Why they didn't use their tech to stabilise their solar system isn't explained but I guess shifting several suns away from one another is beyond even d...

Slick site for a good cause, once the Aus petition is up I'll sign it. Really needs to be a simple broadbrush solution "if software requires any online authentication, that code must be made freely available at end of life" Yup, just open source the server auth side, and make it a local c...

Some very cool new vehicles coming next month 8-) https://brickset.com/article/105766/lego-announces-new-racing-themed-icons-technic-and-speed-champions-sets! https://images.brickset.com/news/105766_10330_Box1_v29.jpg Built my Senna at the weekend, it's a lovely little thing, I think even non Lego ...

My first autumnal cycle to work this morning and I berated three other riders for running stupid bright front lights pointed up at eye level.

Don't get me started on flashing fucking tail lights.

I dropped off of 3 body problem at ep5. They keep undermining their hard sci-fi for story convenience. It's been a few years but iirc they're following the book fairly closely for the main sciencey ideas. They're definitely sticking to the speed of light limit (apart from the magic of instant commu...

I like the analogy of Porsche shareholders to Monacoians (Monacanites?) Surprised the SUVs aren't profitable as anecdotally there should be huge R&D and economies of scale with the closely related VW empire products. Unless the numbers are fiddled to make Porsche SUVs less profitable to push up ...

I thought it a more than reasonable bit of suspended disbelief plot. The ancient and EXTREMELY HIGH MAINTENANCE F14s still in keyturn condition was pushing it though

The number of countries in the world which have an unsanctioned uranium enrichment program and a fleet of Tomcats is ...1. The 5th gen fighters was just Hollywood dusting but maybe Iran will get some from Russia in exchange for those drones they're giving them? Doubt Iran would touch Su57 with a ba...

Pretty much everything about Maverick was complete nonsense. And I don't care, it's right up there as entertainment. My higher brain functions shut down during the Mach10 sequence and just bathed in happy whooshy jet fighter visuals for two hours. It's actually quite a tricky pulling off That much s...

3 body problem really enjoying this. Halfway through and it's keeping the story moving.

I remember the book being very interesting but also hard work, maybe because the writers perspective was so different.

How they'll adapt book 2 I have no idea.

I've had my eye on that 917 moc for ages and their version looks ace. Would look so good next to my Cada 919. Maybe Xmas pressie to myself.

It’s been shit since they tried being overly clever and made stuff far more complicated than they ever had to. Dave! Could have been finished by now if they'd just wanged a stack gauge cluster in it. There was a tipping point where the attention to detail and interesting solutions became dicking ab...

Really interesting to see the numbers behind a company trying to break into large scale manufacturing. "This feels quite long on corporate speak and platitudes" Caused me a slightly disquietened lol as I was thinking exactly that! "While the locations might be good for foot traffic, i...
