I prefer Boops boops. Pronounced Boh-ops.

Pretty sure that temporaria is related to temporal, not temporary. It’d be like frog of the times or frog of the right season or something like that.
I could be wrong though.

More surprising is they gave it a content patch with a new class. I’ll probably be guilty of buying it on the first sale if i’m being honest. D2 is too much fun and a new class sounds like too much fun2.

Pack mule romance. Love it.

Romances are stupid shallow fluff that serve no purpose except to draw in lonely people. They’re idiotic and predatory.
- Comment on Mods recommendation for elden rings 3 weeks ago:
Play the game raw the first time. Just explore a lot and don’t get too frustrated from dying and losing all your runes. It will happen a lot. Just pick yourself up and try again.
I’d suggest heading south for your first playthrough when you make it to Limgrave instead of towards Stormveil Castle. You’ll get more experience and possibly some gear in some areas that are easier than stormveil for a new player.

I remember my bayonet class from my time in the army. We were never taught any such thing. We were actively discouraged from hitting things with our muzzle.
What is your experience with rifle combat? Because mine is practical application in iraq.

No. You buttstrike someone if you have no bayonet. Striking someone with the barrel is dumb because youre at least gonna fuck up your zero and you might bend the barrel which could cause a rapid unscheduled disassembly of your rifle when you fire it.

The video right below it shows him strapping a 360 cam to a goat just like i said.
I’m blocking you for being rude. Be better.
- Comment on POV: You're a mountain goat. 3 weeks ago:
You can go find other videos of goats jumping down mountains. This isn’t some weird conspiracy. The guy strapped a 360 cam to a goat and sent it up and down the mountain and then thought it’d be funny to call it asmr. That’s the joke, not that it’s ai. People are a little to quick to act like everything is ai when it might not be. I’m the last person to go to bat for any ai, this isn’t slop imo.
And you’ve come back and made multiple comments hours apart on this. I’m not the one who spent too much time thinking about this.
- Comment on POV: You're a mountain goat. 3 weeks ago:
I don’t think the second part where they fly off the cliff is real one of the goat is clearly flying for 100m
That’s normal for a mountain goat. Not 100m, that’s probably just perspective from the fish eye lens, but easily 30 or 40 meters. That’s how they get down from the heights. And sometimes they die when they trip because they’re going pretty damn fast. It’s like how when you run down a hill you feel like you’re flying, until you aren’t.
- Comment on POV: You're a mountain goat. 3 weeks ago:
Starting at 22 seconds or so you can see the post and the camera attached to it. Look at the lower right in this photo. That goat has pretty thick hair so maybe we can’t see the harness because it’s under hair and at the seam merge.
- Comment on POV: You're a mountain goat. 3 weeks ago:
I haven’t watched the video and i’m not saying this is real but a 360 cam attached to a stick on the goat’s back would give this same shot. My buddy gets similar shots in his parachute that looks like the camera is floating.

I’ve been playing BG3 with a loot randomizer. It really makes you have to think about your builds because you can’t rely on certain gear anymore. Makes it almost feel like a roguelike.

The formula as it appears in the comic is truncated. The complete formula of the universe in this style (but arranged in decreasing order of abundance after carbon, which also happens to place hydrogen immediately after) would be C₁₀⁷⁷ H₁₀⁸⁰ He₁₀⁷⁹ O₁₀⁷⁸ Ne₁₀⁷⁶ N₁₀⁷⁶ Mg₁₀⁷⁵ Si₁₀⁷⁵ Ar₁₀⁷⁵ Fe₁₀⁷⁶ S₁₀⁷⁶ Ni₁₀⁷⁵ Ca₁₀⁷⁵ Al₁₀⁷⁵ B₁₀⁷¹ Be₁₀⁷¹ Na₁₀⁷⁵ As₁₀⁷² Br₁₀⁷² Li₁₀⁷² Cr₁₀⁷⁵ Ti₁₀⁷⁴ Mn₁₀⁷⁴ P₁₀⁷⁴ K₁₀⁷⁴ V₁₀⁷⁴ Cl₁₀⁷⁴ F₁₀⁷³ Sc₁₀⁷² Co₁₀⁷⁴ Cu₁₀⁷² Zn₁₀⁷³ Ga₁₀⁷² Ge₁₀⁷³ Se₁₀⁷² Kr₁₀⁷² Rb₁₀⁷² Sr₁₀⁷² Y₁₀⁷¹ Zr₁₀⁷² Nb₁₀⁷¹ Mo₁₀⁷¹ Tc₁₀⁰ Ru₁₀⁷¹ Rh₁₀⁷⁰ Pd₁₀⁷¹ Ag₁₀⁷⁰ Cd₁₀⁷¹ In₁₀⁷⁰ Sn₁₀⁷¹ Sb₁₀⁷⁰ Te₁₀⁷² I₁₀⁷¹ Xe₁₀⁷² Cs₁₀⁷⁰ Ba₁₀⁷² La₁₀⁷¹ Ce₁₀⁷² Pr₁₀⁷¹ Nd₁₀⁷² Pm₁₀⁰ Sm₁₀⁷¹ Eu₁₀⁷⁰ Gd₁₀⁷¹ Tb₁₀⁷⁰ Dy₁₀⁷¹ Ho₁₀⁷⁰ Er₁₀⁷¹ Tm₁₀⁷⁰ Yb₁₀⁷¹ Lu₁₀⁷⁰ Hf₁₀⁷⁰ Ta₁₀⁷⁰ W₁₀⁷⁰ Re₁₀⁷⁰ Os₁₀⁷¹ Ir₁₀⁷¹ Pt₁₀⁷¹ Au₁₀⁷⁰ Hg₁₀⁷¹ Tl₁₀⁷⁰ Pb₁₀⁷² Bi₁₀⁷⁰ Po₁₀⁰ At₁₀⁰ Rn₁₀⁰ Fr₁₀⁰ Ra₁₀⁰ Ac₁₀⁰ Th₁₀⁷⁰ Pa₁₀⁰ U₁₀⁷⁰ Np₁₀⁰ Pu₁₀⁰ Am₁₀⁰ Cm₁₀⁰ Bk₁₀⁰ Cf₁₀⁰ Es₁₀⁰ Fm₁₀⁰ Md₁₀⁰ No₁₀⁰ Lr₁₀⁰ Rf₁₀⁰ Db₁₀⁰ Sg₁₀⁰ Bh₁₀⁰ Hs₁₀⁰ Mt₁₀⁰ Ds₁₀⁰ Rg₁₀⁰ Cn₁₀⁰ Nh₁₀⁰ Fl₁₀⁰ Mc₁₀⁰ Lv₁₀⁰ Ts₁₀⁰ Og₁₀⁰ according to estimates of abundance.

Since you seem to want to downvote me instead of go read an article to learn how wrong you are, here is the simple wikipedia page on hawking radiation:
https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawking_radiation
Nothing about heat of the universe because that isn’t a factor in Hawking radiation. You can go read the full page if you like but that also doesn’t mention heat of the universe.
Maybe don’t post so authoritatively on something you aren’t sure about. Spreading misinformation isn’t a good thing.
- Comment on Gonna be here a while 5 weeks ago:
That’s not how hawking radiation works. Basically some particle pairs will always form near the event horizon. Some halves of the pair fall inwards others escape the black hole. The escaping ones are lost mass for the black hole. This happens for all sized black holes at all times just that for small black holes it happens really quickly but bigger black holes it happens incredibly slowly.
It will takes trillions of years to evaporate any stellar sized black hole but all black holes evaporate all the time.

Something like $30 million to replace them all. They put some plastic covers over the new ones to try and prevent it from happening again.

It was a giant cascade of implosions. More than half of the tubes (7000+ tubes) imploded in a cascade. One popped which caused a shockwave which in turn imploded its neighbors which popped and set off their neighbors…

On that i’d agree. Maybe he was liberal early in life and drifted rightwards. Stranger was one of his earlier novels.
