Where do I start for this rabbit hole? That sounds mind blowingly cool.

Voyager gang.

Data streaming costs have to be better addressed. How does the bill get paid? It’s really that simply.

I’ve never heard of him until just now—one glance and he is elite. This is easily the best candidate they could field.

Metro can often refer to the core city plus the suburbs in its county. So LA County more or less == LA metropolitan area; contiguous development despite there being technically multiple cities contained—LA proper, Hollywood, Studio City, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Venice, etc. Oklahoma City metro contains OKC, Moore, Edmond, and so on.

Thievery is soooo good.

Beach House circa Myth, along with TV on the Radio, M83 and Yeah Yeah Yeahs (2011 - 2014 era) were my favorite shows of all time, clustered. Good times.

EDIT: And LCD Soundsystem, that is pure fun.

If you update it will change your UI and balance so you can play online with Reforged players.

You don’t get RF but some multiplayer is playable. Some maps are RF only in rare cases.

I have RF but hate the look and always play OG graphics.

Warcraft OG isn’t playable anymore FYI. They force update legacy clients to conform to WC3 Reforged. You could only play an offline crack of the old game if you can find it, and never let it phone home.

I guess I am not communicating well enough but you’ve summarized the real question of this definition well: is the being within, or without our universe?

If above, then there is no contradiction. If they’re within our universe proper, on “our level” then there is a contradiction that can’t exist.

The power to create and destroy universes cannot come from within this universe. Hence this debate is rendered moot, if that is the premise that they are not within our universe/physics.

And there is only a true point in this type of discussion if you’re talking about what is applicable within our known universe.

FWIW I do not believe determinism can be real in any practical sense. Even if it is provably true, it’s not actually practically applicable in anyway because it is describing an inaccessible layer of physics, to us anyway. The “layer” above our determined one would necessarily have to be non-determined to have ignited the determined “sub-reality” of ours.

I would contend that what you’re describing cannot be knowledge. Knowledge is a certainty by definition. It is “known.” Probability trees are a web of the unknown. “Knowing” the tree =/= knowing reality. Probability is not real, just as numbers are not real. They are concepts. They do not fall into the realm of known reality/experience/matter. You describing knowing that 2 + 2 = 4 conceptually. You are not describing the knowledge of the four trees in your lawn, of which there is only one instance.

I’ve not heard this way with “goodness” — I think the scientific way is that he can be omnipotent or omniscient, but not both. Their coexistence is a logical contradiction. Since omnipotence suggests a free will whereas omniscience is determinism.

Moore’s law and exponential technological progress viewed from the wider frame of biological evolution, and “the singularity,” are pretty compelling and likely upon first hearing them. They’re many nutters around it but Kurzweil earlier books on it are quite sound.

I didn’t even know about this mission. Why isn’t this more publicized?

Because you wouldn’t pirate a car—right?!

• Succession (and it’s not even close, this is clear cut #1 for the slap factor)
• Bluey
• Halt and Catch Fire
• True Detective S1
• The Righteous Gemstones (cheating since it’s only 10 seconds)
• The Brady Bunch
• Dragonball Z (Toonami airing)
• Scooby Doo, Where Are You? S2
• White Lotus S1 (this is so close to Succession for me)
• Westworld S1
• Severance

Ronroco!

Speaking of OST, this is the best “remix” of Majora soundtrack. I listen to this all the time:

I was a Kickstarter person for this game!
