Bonames, I have to say that you german LARPers look quite impressive and your pictures are creating within me a strong desire to try out this 'LARPing' with some skilled fun-loving people. I'm afraid I've never had the chance to participate, nor have I ever actually met anyone who had (that I know o...

Born and raised in San Antonio, Texas (Go Spurs!). Currently finishing up my Biomedical Engineering degree in east Texas. Though I have lived here all my life, I've been fortunate enough to spend brief stints in Japan [Okinawa], Spain, and England [Oxford]. I haven't really had a group of gaming fri...

I do believe this is my first posting in this section of the realm, so Hallo! Greetings to you all. I also tend to agree with Nolori that the last panel is representative to how the world looks inside Sara's "much better" imagination. It is of course possible, though unlikely given previous events a...

By keeping a magnet in a vacuum connected to a turbine with an electromagnet on the outside, power can be generated that causes the magnet to rotate and turn the turbine, generating power. The amount of energy produced by this effect is anywhere from 200 to 300% the input. You guessed it; it's over...

Re: OT: Why global warming will not finish us off
I'd like to see us master fusion power. Once we have that, our energy problems will have a permanent, relatively clean solution. Sono-fusion is totally the wave of the future. Or, if we can get our solar conversion efficiency high enough, set up orbiting solar power farms. That might also do the tr...

More accurately, because Ralph is having a Christian moment; trying to validate his purpose in life as a Good Christian, and finding ways to incorporate a heavier hand of God into his comic, we have come back to the Harry Potter syndrome of the story. PS. There's a difference between misquoting a w...

The changing of the colors and falling off of the leaves is indeed, in most cases, mostly controlled by the relative amounts of daylight/darkness, but not entirely. Plants can also react to changes in temperature, soil content, and the availability of water (among other things). So yeah, it's possib...

You are absolutely wrong about "cupping" with the off-hand. Whoever taught you that was flat wrong. The fingers of the off-hand go around the front of the grip on top of the shooting hand fingers. If he's really doing it right he's pushing forward with the strong hand (errr...yeah, "paw") and pulli...

To Ralph's credit, Quentyn's firing stance in that Wright scene was awesome. Near a perfect Weaver stance as I recall. Lesse if I can find it... ... http://npc.comicgenesis.com/d/20050117.html It's Weaverish, but not quite right. The most obvious difference is that instead of his left hand..err paw...

One way I can tell if a person is from my generation is to ask them if they know what a church key is. Most of the kids today have no idea because they have never had to use one. :o :o Sort of like a P-38. I didn't know Walther made a can opener..... :P S'aaruuk See, when you said "P-38" I immediat...

not by the system that they have relied on for thousands of years.

Ok. I was disturbed also to hear that potentially innocent villagers were killed, especially with Zawahiri not being there. It angers and saddens me that such things can and have happened. But , a couple things... First, according to CNN (and take this as far as you believe the mainstream media can ...

WereKitty....I think you'll find that these particular forums are not populated by anything remotely resembling "most males". :wink: S'aaruuk Indeed.

I think you are missing my point capn. I am in agreement with you that the square paneled effect on the glass (or whatever) is intentional, that was the basis for my previous statement. The issue I was bringing up is that the glass paneling can be seen present in the space of the open door . There s...

If it was just the blurriness, I would have concurred with you, but it is more than that. I don't think anyone has ever accused Ralph of shoddy artwork, so I must assume that the very evident squares in the window panes are on purpose. You can most definatly tell that the background is broken up int...
