Comment Full length of video? (Score 1) 300

So this is just a snippet the NY Times has shared. Where's the rest?? While the prospect of not being alone is quite horrifying, we shouldn't hide from it. Does a truth like this represent an unraveling of the fabric of our society? So many possibilities with which to contend!

Hope it doesn't end up like this tho... https://www.amazon.com/Three-B...

Comment Re:I read Rotten Tomatoes (Score 1) 173

Agree 100% on this reply; I disagree 100% with the title of this post.

I'm a "Moviegoer". Rotten Tomatoes is usually the first place I go when I'm thinking about seeing any movie and the second place I go after looking up where to stream a movie via Justwatch. I definitely care _and_ value what Rotten Tomatoes says. I don't rely on it 100% when deciding whether or not to view a particular movie. However, it's one of those things that's weighted heavily in my own personal moviegoing algorithm. Vast majority of the time I agree with what Rotten Tomatoes has told me. I don't get the hate on it.

Comment Still very loud (Score 1) 234

I'm not sure how reliable the "NATS" site is (http://www.nats.aero/environment/aircraft-noise/) but according to that page, aircraft at cruise altitude appear to come in around 40 dBA. This NASA target is 60-65 dBA... more than 50% higher than the people-movers of today. As someone who lives under the ingress/egress route of a local airport, this seems like an egregious increase in ambient noise. Huge fan of halving flight time but not at the expensive of my auditory sanity!

Comment So what does this and other posturing mean? (Score 1) 1028

In all seriousness, is this blustering by Putin (if we are correct in assuming that Putin=Russia in totality now, which seems to be the case) something we should be seriously concerned about? The Soviet propaganda machine was a force to be reckoned with during the Cold War (make no mistake, so was ours in the US). Is this just a resurrection of that PR engine or should we actually be concerned of a real threat of nuclear armageddon?? Won or lost, the Cold War isn't something for which anyone should be nostalgic.

Comment Huh?? (Score 2) 585

What the? Can someone please explain to me how colleges have become havens for the very net nanny's we were all sky-is-falling about back in '90s? Don't F with free speech. Period.

College is about expanding your mind (and your alcohol tolerance, if you're into that sorta thing); not growing more closed minded and intolerant. Holy crap, I fear for our future and for these nimrods coming into the workforce. As if the current brand of entitled millenials weren't bad enough. It's going to take kids of us Gen-Xers to clean up this mess (do they even have a generation name yet? let's skip it.).

FFS!

Comment Wind direction? (Score 1) 97

Why do all the cloud forms follow such a similar drift pattern? Is it the movement of the stars themselves within their local group? Is there something beyond the image forcing the wind direction (other massive stars and/or a supernova are mentioned in the Wikipedia article about the Pillars). Is there a count of how many stars are being formed here? The IR image suggests quite a few.

Stunning imagery. Keep 'em coming, Team Hubble!!!
