Did someone say [Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker]?

I feel like this could create some pretty toxic incentives.

Like, imagine if the moment a person dies all of their works immediately go into the public domain... What's to stop a company like Disney from just straight-up assassinating people who create promising IPs? They paid 4 billion dollars for Star Wars — but why not just have George Lucas murdered for a fraction of the price?

I don't know how it's possible, but they're somehow even uglier in person. It's wild.

Do you want to get chlamydia.exe?? Because that's how you get chlamydia.exe

Flat? Meaning all corps pay the same regardless of revenue?

Curious how they quantify 'attractiveness'. Is it self-reported, or are they attempting to use some kind of qualitative metric to rate the attractiveness of participants?

If the former, you could just as easily draw the conclusion that more confident people spend less time gaming.

I see what you did there

It will certainly be gratuitous...

In scientific terms? An absolute fuck-ton of football fields.

In very next line, it says the distance is 4.37 lightyears away... which is also wrong, lol

For anyone wondering, the actual correct answer is about 4.25 lightyears or about 40 trillion kilometers.

 

A new investigation with NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope into K2-18 b, an exoplanet 8.6 times as massive as Earth, has revealed the presence of carbon-bearing molecules including methane and carbon dioxide. Webb’s discovery adds to recent studies suggesting that K2-18 b could be a Hycean exoplanet, one which has the potential to possess a hydrogen-rich atmosphere and a water ocean-covered surface.

 

On Wednesday, researchers announced the discovery of a new astronomical enigma. The new object, GPM J1839–10, behaves a bit like a pulsar, sending out regular bursts of radio energy. But the physics that drives pulsars means that they'd stop emitting if they slowed down too much, and almost every pulsar we know of blinks at least once per minute.

GPM J1839–10 takes 22 minutes between pulses. We have no idea what kind of physics or what kind of objects can power that.
