Every F$&@ing Game Ruined!!!!
Every f$@&ing game ruined by NMR/CD's ... and then the D Bags who get the advantage won't cancel the game! Pathetic guys! You know who you are, and you're freakin' pathetic point grubbing thieves! You can't play win a straight up fight, so you resort to playing when you've got an unfair advantage.

Can we PLEASE create an "auto-cancle" feature so this stops happening?

Magic the gathering encourages children to practice Necromancy
Studies have shown that children who play Black decks tend to perform human sacrifice on animals. One child saw the art on the card goblin ski patrol and he began killing squirrels.

Supermoon Kills Science
So tonight there is going to be a "supermoon", which to those of you who don't know is what we in astrophysicist circles refer to as a "moon". It will not look any different to any other full moon you may have seen...

Extra Terrestial Influence
So I think most of the world is in agreement that the universe is so big that life almost definitely exists on other planets. That question is kind of boring though. The real question is, have aliens had contact with earth in the present or past.
The results are in, and the evidence points to a resounding yes!

Serious reply to OP - no. Why would aliens have any interest in us? We can offer them nothing nor are we any threat to them. If they can travel the kind of distances required to get to us then they are unimaginably more advanced than us.
You point out that space is big but i wonder if you really understand how big. We are 30 thousand light years from the center of our own galaxy, around this point we are spinning and travelling at roughly a million miles per day. You know how long it takes to do a full circle at that speed? About 200 million years. And our galaxy is only one of millions and billions in this amazing and expanding universe!

Last week i saw a TV science program about among others WARP drive.

Yes it is theoretically possible according to the Theory of Relativity and Einstein.

According to Einstein you can get to the nearest start 4 lightyears away in 203 days if you travel at 99% of the speed of light due to time dilation (time compression). The faster your go, the more time is compressed for the traveller.

Speed of light in m/s
> C = 299792458.      

V = 99*C/100.
296794533.42

 > K = fun(_V) -> math:sqrt(1 - _V * _V / C / C) end.

Number of days
> 4*356*K(V)*100/99.
202.90901045499112

But how much kinetic energy would it require to get a human body (100 kg) up to that speed 99%.

M=100.
FacKin = fun(_V) -> ( 1/K(_V) - 1) * C * C end.

Kinetic energy (relativistic)
> Erel = fun(_M, _V) -> _M * FacKin(_V) end.

In Joule:
> Erel(M,V).
5.472351362367589e19

One Terrawatthour is this many Joules.
> TWH = 1.0e12 * 3600.
3.6e15

Number of TWH to get 100 kg up to 99% of speed of light.
> Erel(M,V) / TWH.
15200.976006576635

15201 TWHs!!

Sweden's electricity production in during 2015 was 158 TWh.

So Sweden would need 96.2 years to produce the energy required.

So the conclusion is that WARP drive is sadly far far away in a distant galaxy... :/

I like Trump's ceiling. As to the question of whether "extra terrestrial life" in some form arrived here on earth from space, if it has it's perhaps not as exciting as some Hollywood fantasy, like Marvin the Martian, or a Rookie, but very simple life forms inside chunks of space rocks eg meteors being the way it might have occurred

Trump's Victory was not because of White voters.
Despite what message the media may be sharing with you about how Trump only won because the white vote watch this video and see if it changes your mind or perception at all.

Maniac 2020
Recent appointments to high office have created controversy among progressive, intelligent people. I'm talking about two things, of course. First of all, the election of Donald Trumpf as Leader Of The Free World (TM). Secondly, and no less controversially, the selection of a new Moderator who was not Maniac.

A Divide
I've seen horrible reactions these past 24 hours. Some celebrate that they have a champion, thinking he will bring this country to its greatest times. Others panic, fearing the same man will erode their rights and encourage persecution which will endanger their lives. Those whose views don't fall into that binary shirk away, fearing their voice is no longer welcome. This thread is about the lofty goal of uniting a further dividing nation.

Refugees and Asylum seekers
So i had a thought, under international law, those seeking asylum are entitled to protection if they have reason to fear for their life. Thus pretty much anyone fleeing the Syrian war should probably automatically be granted asylum.

What about LGBT folk from the US, fearing political repression and violence in the streets. Should we (europeans) open our borders?
