Mod Note: What made you think this was OK? Everyone: drop this line of discussion.

I did as well, primarily to ascertain that it was, indeed, a real thing. I was surprised at how much money, effort and actual skill was used to make that movie. As I recall, the production team behind that film has done other, similarly big budget versions of mainstream movies.

Well, you know what the solution to THAT is, right? (Except now, we might be able to do that with Dire Wolves 2: Electric Boogaloo.)

U2’s Stuck in a Moment You Can’t Get Out Of would be another good choice.

Took Mom out to eat twice today: lunch at a nice little Japanese restaurant; dinner at Wendy’s. At $25, the 2 Wendy’s combos were nearly exactly half the price of the 2 bento boxes and a shared order of shumai.😱 And the Wendy’s wasn’t as good as it used to be.☹️ ****** Part of the reason why...

Hey, just because the pot calls the kettle black, it doesn’t mean that the kettle is, in fact, not black. I used to play a lot of volleyball, and got pretty good at it. Shockingly good, considering my self-evident general rotundity and lack of height. The last place I played regularly, there...

That formula was taken from a page talking about HERO martial arts maneuvers. It’s also apparently the formula used by their automatic velocity calculator. (I’d look it up in my own books, but I’m feeling particularly lazy right now.)

One of my most complex characters was a riff on Tony Stark/Iron Man, designed as an anti-PAG PAG*, designed during the Armor Wars storyline, with some notes lifted from the Northworld novels. I won’t get into the gritty power details, but the central quirk was that the character made his suit’s...

The Festival cracked me up.👍🏽

We’re both wrong. 😂 I wasn’t talking about sums of 1 to N total- don’t even remember what that’s from- I was thinking of the martial arts maneuvers that require calculating a target’s velocity (v) divided by another number as part of determining damage and OCV & DC penalties or bonuses. That...

The original article does point out that distinction between dire wolves and other canids (towards the end). And its pretty clear from your article that the researchers are pretty clear that they’re working with an approximation of Dire Wolves based on how they described the gene editing...

HERO can be quite complicated. There’s a lot of math in ChaGen. It’s mostly addition, subtraction, multiplication and division- some of it compiled on a chart- but a lot of it, nonetheless. There’s also a couple of uncommonly used abilities that ask for a square root or similar more advanced...

Fur IS surprisingly heavy. And I’ve seen that move more than once, including IRL. It’s…a thing.

Beats the alternative.

PREACH! A couple days before helping my friend, I pulled a muscle in my lower back while making a sandwich. Do not ask me how.

I really need to get back into some kind of workout routine, or increasing my physical activity in some way, shape or form. I have plenty of power, but my stamina is ass. (Always has been, but it’s worse than I can remember.) I got asked to help a friend with an urgent move out situation. I...
