Luberjack sounds German and therefore, much more kinky. I want to know about your porn.

You asked for it. ;)

"Actually, Sonny wanted the term of copyright protection to last forever. I am informed by staff that such a change would violate the Constitution. ... As you know, there is also [then-MPAA president] Jack Valenti's proposal for term to last forever less one day. Perhaps the Committee may look at that next Congress."

• Mary Bono

The line in the Constitution that justifies the existence of copyright law in the U.S. specifically requires that copyright last "for limited times." The "proposal for term to last forever less one day" Mary Bono referenced basically meant that Congress should extend copyright every time anything ever gets too close to entering the public domain.

Isaac Arthur, not Asimov. Though that is his namesake.

I hate my own voice but I love explaining things to interested people.

No way I'd be able to make lore videos, especially when people like Installation00, Luetin09, Geetsly's, MetaNerdzLore, Eckhartsladder, and Nerd of the Rings exist.

Nothing new for me to add, really.

I could probably talk for hours about Stargate SG1 and it's spinoffs, there are a few channels dedicated to Stargate stuff but..... Content is lacking, in my opinion. One does a podcast though, and uploads hilights of the podcast which I don't watch/listen to so they probably do a lot more explaining of things there that don't make it into clips.

While I've gone through all of Luetin09's videos while awake, I like to throw a playlist on shuffle sometimes to sleep. Something about a British guy talking in a smooth low voice about tyranids attempting to overrun a location only for the whole planet to essentially split in half (CADIA STANDS/THE PLANET BROKE BEFORE THE GUARD) is just relaxing. Also FUCK Erebus.

If I remember correctly, the question was "why don't the covenant want the halos in this one (Reach)" or "why aren't they in this one" or something like that when we had just started playing.

So I went back and explained the history of the rings from 120,000iah years ago during the height of the Forerunners power, as well as where the flood came from, why the planet has only just been discovered by the covenant, and how the game (Reach) differs from the books and spoken lore established in games 1-3.

Funny thing is, I'm slightly wrong. He did technically ask me one other question, but it was an open question to the group "why do the Spartans look different except Jorge?" and I immediately went "are you SURE you want a full explanation?" to which others jumped jn and said "NO!" which was a little disappointing but not everyone enjoys lore dumps.

For a full explanation, read the forerunner series of books, the novelizarion of combat evolved, the fall of reach, the in-between book that tells us how anyone escaped to halo 2, and the Ghosts of Onyx. That last one isn't super necessary, but it gives you a neat look at one of the Shield Worlds from the forerunner books.

I think lemmy has a character limit so I can't get into a 3 hour typefest lmao

You fool, what have you done

I know right? Who would have thought the decay rate of Cesium-133 was so regular...except when it isn't!!!

Reading that made my brain hurt. It's times like this that I really wish America would go metric.

But what I can say? That's a 570-liter dream.

I haven’t watched the movie but I thought it would be so much cooler to have it be the “pain box”

We already have that at the theater. Its the Concession Stand cash register when you pay for the popcorn and drink.
