Sure, at the moment.

Just wait until we harness the Wolf-Rayet Star WR-104 and point it at our enemies.

Ok, what was that picture of? It looked like a rainbow blackhole

A gamma ray burst formed by a collapsing star. WR-104 is really the closest one that might destroy our solar system.

wait what?

Ok i just looked that up and that is completely horrifying. Welp i hope this is one of those "it'll happen in a bazillion years" thing

Ok, i just read an article that basically said it could happen tonight, or ten thousand years from now, or maybe never! I'm going to go into hysterics now because we are all going to blow up from this wolf star.

Oh great now it says it will spray us with cosmic rays. Now I don't know whether to be excited or horrified, because human torch!

I would definitely NOT suggest this book for you:

DEATH FROM THE SKIES


As it happens, the Universe has thousands and thousands of ways to destroy us, and in pretty much every case, by the time we even know that it's happening, it will be too late.

Damnit, at 16.25, I can't not buy it. Just thinking about an explosion that reaches 5000 light years is insane.

It also supports Phil Plait, Bad Astronomer and president of the JREF. He's one of my favorite people.

Bacon, with an awesome weight of 1, is the most common form of awesome in the universe.

If we take two sets of bacon, and fire them at each other at incredibly high speed, scientists theorise we may see entirely new forms of bacon.


or possibly Pigs in Blankets.

we all know that all matter in the universe is made up of bacon salt with different charges. But how the bacon salt comes into being, that we don't know.

That is what the Pretty Outrageous Radical Collider will be used to discover.

I like where this is going.



Our Porcologists work tirelessley.

It's understandable that some people are uneasy about the possibilities, especially once this hidden object was dubbed "The God Porcicle".

Religious controversy seemed obvious, but for some reason, Islam really got up in arms about PORC.

Man, it's amazing how far we've strayed from the original subject of this thread.

Don't worry about it.

The current very unusual solar minimum, the time of reduced activity on the surface of the Sun, indicates that we might be in for what's called a "mini ice age", far worse than the one from 1650-1700. It was relatively minor, but this current period of inactivity has been more severe and longer than any we've recorded.

So we'll probably freeze to death before a gamma ray burst gets us.

the best part of this shit is there is literally nothing we could ever do to stop it. I mean, it's the universe. There is no way we could alter any sort of event like that, and there's so many different ways it could happen. Man, I guess I'll play wow and try to forget this horrifying reality.

Unless we find the universe and beat the living shit out of it.

Penguin Incarnate

You know what? Just once I'd like a gamer to commit the perfect crime. I want him to execute his parents and the rest of his family, frame someone else and get away with all of it because he's 14 and above suspicion. Then again, I realize that if this actually did happen, I wouldn't get to find out about it.

Antimatter

What the hell, PI?

Koolaidguy

We need to get kids playing Hitman and MGS. These days they think if they stay out of sight long enough they lose their wanted rating and everything becomes okay.

Hey, everybody, look at Anitmatter! He's got a problem with people committing the perfect crime! Don't you watch Law and Order? The perfect crime makes for great entertainment. Plus, you get that guy chubby from The Cell tilting his head at people when he solves the crime.

Dead Legend

For the record, Galveston is a shithole and anybody that enjoys watching Future Weapons is getting fed bullshit by some dude that doesn't know a goddamn thing.

I usually enjoy perfect thefts, not murders in fiction.

Admittedly, there are some stories about murder I like. For example, The Cask of Amontillado

I never understood the appeal to Law and Order Criminal Intent. It shows you everything that's happened, and leaves nothing to the imagination.

That's a human life gone, because a kid wasn't allowed to play a video game.

This kid is clearly a psychopath.

I don't know the particulars of the situation probably any better than you do, but I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that "because he wasn't allowed to play a video game" is probably not an adequate summary of all of the significant contributing factors in this case.

ThatDudeOverThere

hey so I am hesitant to go straight to h/a about this and this thread seems vaguely tech-related

so basicly my laptop won't turn on or give any indication that power is reaching it

I have to plug it into the wall because the battery stopped charging long before it became mine

and the big brick-type thing in the cord is making... some kinda sound, it's not quite a beep and it's not quite a click

is it supposed to make a sound? does it mean the cord is broken?

I am really hoping it's just the cord.

If it helps, it's... uh... an IBM. A couple years old? Model is... fuck if I know?

Any ideas?

Faricazy

*cord

Dichotomy

shit man, if you broke a chord a whole bunch of musicians are going to be pissed

Killjoy

do all ibms have the same power connector?

ThatDudeOverThere

maybe?

ThatDudeOverThere

I really have no idea what I'm doing

that's big part of why I'm hesitant to ask H/A... I'd only be able to describe my problem vaguely

You're giving him way too much credit. The guy is obviously not a smart individual.

Moriveth

I just learned a creepy thing!

Apparently when I worked a late shift like this one last month

the guy who is an ex-supervisor but still acts like one (in order to save costs they removed people from supervisor positions and cut their pay) and seems to be disturbingly obsessed with reporting anything slightly wrong going on in the department parked in the parking lot two hours before his shift started and watched to see what time I left work.

I mean, I'm right in thinking that's more than a little creepy, yes?

Faricazy

that depends

did he rape you afterwards?

Moriveth

I didn't even know he was there, I just heard about this now!

The guy is seriously obsessed with knowing about every little problem, I guess so he can report it to our boss

which is stupid because any problems should go straight to the boss and not to him because he's not a fucking supervisor anymore

Belruel

this is sickening.

Bearstranaut

wow that guy is kind of not cool

Stop showing so much skin.
