I didn't watch horror. I watched Sci-Fi and Documentaries. and no, i wouldn't of done that if it was a high risk or a hands-on assignment. I was just a warm body assignment.
"Creation of Humanoids" - i'll check it out. i hadn't seen that one, good job!
Yes to all of those.
In a way i kind of saw the Moon's surprising twist coming, but it was still very well done and under-appreciated (probably due to lack of advertising)
Pacific Rim, although just an excuse to have giant robots fighting Voltron style, i found also to be under-appreciated by...
It was Security.
A lot of security jobs just need a warm body.
for example, construction sites need a physical person on the property 24/7 until fire systems are installed.
Often they pay a security agency to provide a guard even if there is nothing to actually guard.
The down side is today you...
I've seen every episode of every iteration of the twilight zone (it was rebooted twice, and the movie).
even the Lost Classics of Rob Sterling.
I've seen every Outer Limits and Night Gallery and Amazing Stories.
I once had a job where the most important duty was attendance.
I would pass the...
Good point. Scientists' approximation of far-off bodies - especially Exo-Solar System bodies - is
just a best scientific guess with available data that may be revised in the future when a probe finally
reaches the object or when more accurate methods of measurement are devised.
I suppose you...
I don't know if anyone mentioned them yet, but the Wild Cards books
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_Cards
there is a touch of fantasy in some of the individuals, but enough Sci and What-If to keep you glued... even through all 22+ books.
in short:
i'd try to give a brief on what it's about...
I'm actually running out of sci-fi movies to watch.
I like sci-fi movies that keep their feet on the ground with science, don't mash much with fantasy (wizards, etc...) and at the same time spur "What If..." thought or make you pause and hop to the web to look something up.
for example:
Flat...
So I'm reading in the news and a group of scientists from the New Horizons missions
appear to be reopening "The Pluto Debate" with yet another new definition of planet
at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in March:rolleyes:. If accepted their definition
of planet would increase the...
:smile:hahahaha
But i don't think I'd be able to stand having 2 of them around! I'd probably just quit and make do with disability claim of "So sane in this state that i cannot work" hahaha (Arizona - don't move here if you love intelligence.)
I'm wondering - they have found part - and...
Never left, i just tend to read a lot more of the forums than I post. I see how the site is directed more to professionals and upper grade students of graduate and post-graduate college levels. For examples - the maths are all Ancient Greek to me spoken with a Chinese accent through sign...
Back some time ago, probably around Sept. or Oct. 2009, I criticized you, the Admins, for
not having a crackpot section.
My argument was that perhaps some good scientific research could be suggested due to
trains of thought started by crackpots and that by outright censoring the...
I've been trying to find the answer to a question i have online but haven't had much luck.
Where did Stable or Pertinent magnets get their energy from?
I've read plenty of people saying "magnets don't acquire or release energy" but that doesn't make sense to me. Let's use this scenario...
