Rayman Pirate-Community

< might call it a night soon. < is so tired lately, < might need to get back on supplements.
< may or may not be facing into an election in a month or so, < will probably end up voting Fianna Fáil in spite of everything…

<'s phone has stopped being a pain in <'s neck. Still will need a new one in the upcoming weeks/months.

< is writing < mod questions again.

< wonders when Hood will come back online.

does ^ have a smart phone? < recently bought an android phone for $50 at a store and it's been the best thing ever!

< does own a android smartphone, but <'s had it for over 2 years and it's showing its signs of wearing down. The battery time for one, is greatly reduced, and if the phone is running multiple apps at once, the phone will tend to crash and turn itself back on, draining the battery percentage.

< has a Rayman hoodie but it's much too small

< remembers when < could wear hoodies, sadly, with <'s skin in its sensitive state, < tends to stick with loose fitting clothings and jackets.

< is finally back home after what ended up being a long wait for the eye exam, plus we went out to eat.

< has finished taking the every other day shower.
< might need to check over <'s assessment list to see how many < needs to do per week.

< is in Portugal!

Many environmentalists have also condemned the pipeline for furthering climate change, and it gained a lot of widespread criticism when a story came out that the police force tasked to remove a group of peaceful protestors turned violent, as well as that the company behind the pipeline also donated a bunch of money to Trump's campaign, and now the Trump Administration is doing their bidding.

So yeah, it's a complicated situation that < thinks would all in all be best resolved by simply not building the pipeline, and instead focusing our energies on green technology.

I see.

I find it a bit sad however that religion is given so much importance and used as an excuse against a technical project like this. Whether it's Christianity or native religions, they should be kept out of the public sphere. I get the point about focusing on renewables instead, but what are the concerns about the water supply? Do oil pipeline leaks happen that often?

For the rest, black holes aren't really dissimilar from any other sort of object with mass when it comes to motion; they can be propelled forwards by any sort of event just like a comet, planet or star can. Read this, for instance.

< meant to say that it was extremely rare due to the huge amount of energy required to set one in motion. In the example you gave, for example, researchers believed it took... two galaxies to collide, nothing less.

Shrooblord wrote:Depends entirely on the person. <'s uncles were 1,60ish m at the age of 18 but all got a boost up past their 21st, and are now all more around 1,80-1,85 m.

Fuck this, I've been the same height since I was 13.

Shrooblord wrote:And actually, humans are evolving still to this day. < calls on the example of sickle cell anaemia. It is quite an unfortunate disorder for an individual to have except that it provides total and complete immunity to the deadly, deadly malaria disease. Where would a trait like this be beneficial? Why, in Africa, where the malaria disease is raging feverishly. And that's exactly where we happen to find SCA most often, because individuals inflicted with the disorder actually have a higher chance of survival than those who are not, in those conditions.
This is an example of current-day and quite recent evolutionary adaptation (generations developing traits over time to benefit surviving their natural conditions best).

Well I was specifically talking about modern society, which I wouldn't consider malaria-ridden countries are a part of.

< saw some of those videos before, it's obviously actors making a good amount of money playing dumb.

Aye, < thought <'d be screwed after leaving it to the last minute and getting a bunch of "we don't accept work experience" emails but it looks like < got lucky, with one of the bigger companies around <'s area too

< thinks that's pretty impressive, especially considering (at least < anyway) didn't go on a major posting spree. <'s quite proud of everyone today. < hopes we can keep this up.

Two great days in a row. < says to keep it up folks!

< still is having to cough and clear <'s throat... was definitely too cold to have run after a puppy to catch her... especially with as much breathing < did with the kind of running < never does.

< just counted <'s count for this year. < is 255 posts away from 2,000 for the year.
<'s little sister ate the last doughnut earlier. That put a temporary damper on <'s spirit.

< bets that ^ and < could post enough tomorrow to help ^ reach that goal, easy.

Probably not unfortunately. < may have some extra Geometry exams to do. <'s Achilles heel.
