too bad presidents are unable to do any of those... lol In terms of a presidential candidate, I want someone charismatic who can build alliances at home and abroad. The primary purpose of the president is a unifying factor, not a Super Saiyan who can "save" the economy. What does that even...

But the problem here is that Mars One itself isn't aware of the full risks involved. It took an outside agency to point out flaws in their plans, to which they responded: "nuh uh." That's a problem that will only get worse over time. If they're incapable of conducting a full risk analysis on...

lemme rephrase lol: they will be unable to complete their mission with current levels of technology. Even if they make it to the site location, Mars One just doesn't have the tech or the plan to have them succeed. They'd die in a pretty shitty way and I'd argue it's immoral to allow them to...

Chivalry has been completely warped by centuries of romanticism, so in that sense I would say it's never been alive in the first place. It's a very attractive moral code for people and if it works for you I'm not going to stop. As far as I'm concerned, cultivating virtue is worthwhile even if...

http://www.theguardian.com/science/across-the-universe/2014/may/19/nasa-private-manned-missions-mars spoiler: they all gonna die.

These experiments have been done before and I absolutely love them. The most infamous is Biosphere 2. Long story short weird things happen to people. That being said, this kind of research is vital and it's what separates NASA (successful) from Mars One (currently a well intentioned mass murder...

Not only do people cope with death in different ways, the same people deal with individual deaths in different ways across time. Some people have died and I felt like the world was going to come crashing down, yet it kept spinning. Some people died and I didn't feel much of anything, and the...

also I finished those Mass Effect videos. I would agree with all of that haha.

nope... all our stuff is done via VMware. The problem with it is that literally anything native after the year 2010 could run ArcGIS with less hair pulling and screaming. It's about 15 times slower just using it virtually

Excellent. My first response to that thread was just a shrill scream because I am extremely confident I know my way around a silver nanoparticle better than that guy lol

Glad I could entertain you haha. Never quite sure whether or not I have the proper snark application

For a year now I've been trying to explain that the programs I use aren't built for virtualization and that I need a dedicated hard drive but they are adamant that I don't... I worked in IT for a year and I never gave anyone the bad service they give us :(

those 30+ minute videos tho. I'll check those out when I have a little bit more time on my hands, haha. Too busy right now wrestling with my school's IT department

Ok I feel like adding some of my two cents in here (I've worked with chemicals in a lab for a year and a half so that's where I'm coming from on this): 1) Silver and all its compounds are toxic. It kills bacteria because it's deadly. At the nanoparticle level, it's actually lethal to human...
