SylvainMustach posted:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luka_Magnotta It's... actually stranger than that. I'd vaguely remembered the guy's name popping up in the context of Karla Homolka (on these very forums), I'd punched the guy's name into google, and nothing substantial appeared. What had been happening was that he'd been attention-seeking throughout the entire internet, setting up pages and facebook profiles and even writing up his own wikipedia page (which were promptly deleted because he wasn't notable). It's only after he'd been doing this poo poo for years that he finally mans up and murders someone. I was definitely surprised when his name popped up again. Congrats dude, you finally have your attention.

I don't think he was a goon, he just played some lovely browser MMO that goons also played, and some kind of knew him.Fragrag posted:Goon murderers? Well, there was Bomber1666. I remember the thread shortly after I registered and I remember several goons coming out the woodwork who were somehow related to the victims. Ooh, I remember that thread.

Everything I've read makes Kruschev to be an okayish guy, and Brezhnev to be a total rear end in a top hat.

BurroughsBane posted:Holy poo poo... I had no idea until now that The Green Man was based on a real-life person A few years ago? I remembered reading that very wiki page years ago. Checking the revision history, it goes back to 2007. Those guys could have just tapped 9 characters into google and saved themselves the embarrassment.

The Green Man was (is?) a ubiquitous scary story that anyone in my area could tell you about. I think a bunch of college kids even did a PBS/SyFy/somesuchstation special on Green Man's Tunnel a few years ago - there was no mention of it being based on an actual man. I am mortified that the scariest thing in my childhood is actually based on a lonely, disfigured old man....

Imagined posted:I present this overachiever, Thomas Midgley, Jr. He was perhaps the closest thing we'll ever have to a literal Captain Planet villain. This one person invented not one but two products whose environmental effects your great grandchildren will still be dealing with: leaded gasoline and chlorofluorocarbons. It's pretty easy to definitively state that the world would literally be better if he'd never been born. I could forgive him a little for his invention of CFCs. Their problem is not they they were reactive and toxic, but that they are so unreactive that they could float up into the stratosphere completely intact before they start breaking down ozone into oxygen. He solved a big problem, as preceding refrigerant gases were toxic enough to kill people who worked around them. On the other hand, he really should have known better with leaded gasoline. poo poo, he even gave himself lead poisoning working with it, and he was working to pump it out of cars.

Syd Midnight posted:I think he had a bit of a chemistry background, but he wasn't going for hard sci-fi, he just wanted a plausible sounding macguffin. His ice-nine isn't the biggest plot hole in the book, anyways. So what was that other plot hole? All I remember of that book was how cynical it was.

Pharnakes posted:Surely everybody acknowledges that fossil fuels are an un-ideal, transient stage in our (hopefully) development. It's just a question of when you think we should be getting off that train and on to something sustainable, and what exactly defines "sustainable". Source the article, because it sounds like pile of nonsense. According to the wiki article and its source, the earth receives 174 petawatts of power from the sun. In other words, 174 petajoules every second. Human civilization consumes 18 terawatts of power, in other words, 15 terajoules per second. 1 petawatt is 1000 terawatts. The energy blasted from the sun onto the earth vastly outstrips what we burn from fossil fuels, and the downside of that is not the direct heating, but the indirect heating from the planet retaining more heat from the sun.

Actually that's not hard, store some of that energy as synthetic chemical fuels, and use it as reaction mass.

Maybe it's worth considering if your brilliant takedown of those uppity parents can be refuted with even the slightest bit of thought. Quite frankly I have no idea what happened, and I'll let the feds get a handle on it because they don't seem to have a stake in protecting their ol' boys. If they say it was an accident, then I'd be satisfied.

shock.wav posted:This is a recurring theme in House. Please don't watch House for the science. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kin_selection Altruism is a very useful strategy because it helps pass on some of your genes, even if you will not be the one personally carrying it out. Your body is but a host for the genes to persist in the world. It's also worth considering that humans don't organise them into just families, but troupes, and clans, and tribes. A lone family is easy pickings, a whole village is a good survival strategy. So we even share our resources with those we are not related to, because what helps the entire society can help your family as well. Vampire bats can do similar. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reciprocal_altruism http://rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/280/1753/20122573

Buh posted:There's already been like three or four goon murderers, we passed that point years ago. Someone with a better memory please to list them ITT Clarification, the gay porn actor who murdered a dude and mailed out his body parts wasn't an actual goon. He was posted to this site in the context of Karla Homolka. What had happened was that the guy had been spreading rumours across the internet that he had married Homolka. And when you googled the guy's name, nothing came up, which was quite confusing. That murder was part of a PR campaign for him to become famous. The cops caught him in a net cafe while he was searching for himself.

Wild T posted:THOR was an awesome idea in theory. Some ideas were scaled sized of projectiles from full-sized ones (your telephone poles) for hardened bunkers down to small-diameter or cluster rods for raining hypervelocity molten metal down on troop formations or other large area targets. Rods from God sound like the least efficient way to blow something up ever. It costs $4000-10000 to a kilo of mass into low earth orbit, and all that energy comes from rocket fuel. All that effort just to drop an inert payload, when you could drop one stuffed with explosives instead.
