We would die without CO2. Plants need CO2 to live. Plants produce oxygen. No CO2, no plants, no oxygen, no people. Climate change is real. Climate has always changed. It is arrogant to think man can change the climate. Questions: 1. What caused the ice age? 2. Why did it end? 3. What is the "right" ...

May the 4th be with you!

But the slow moving Death star would never get a shot off.

The other thing is that the Borg would not even have to fire a shot. They could just transport explosive devices and 'boom'. If one shot from a fighter could trigger the reactor and destroy the death star, they wouldn't need much.

No contest.

Hitting a planet is a lot easier than hitting a ship that can maneuver at warp speed. It takes several seconds to power up the Death Star main weapon. They would never hit the cube.
Cube wins.

Ephesians 6:5 "Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ." Clearly Jesus was pro slavery (insert heavy sarcasm here). You stopped reading too soon - 5 Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerit...

No, Christ was not a socialist. He wanted us to care for fellow man, not have the government to take our money and have the government care for those the government wants to care for. Consider 2 Corinthians 9:7: “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or...

I often hear people complain how its so sad that our society pays athletes more than teachers. Indeed, this is sad. In order for teachers to make the same amount of money as athletes we would have to first reprioritize as a society what we want to waste or spend our money on. If teachers had Jersey...

Catlin Clark is in line for an eight-year deal with Nike that could end up being worth $28 million and a signature shoe. That is how the free enterprise system works. You are paid for value created. People like to watch her. And will buy her shoe.

Let the women who want to earn the big bucks try out for the NBA. Let the women who want to earn the big bucks in Soccer try for a men's team. My daughter played professional basketball in Europe for 4 years. She is a very good player, but when she played with our men's club, she didn't dominate. Ca...

Thanks. It is a secondary option. I missed it, but I knew I did it previously.

The ready button is your friend.
Yes, make all necessary discussions.
There is no reason to hit save for a retreat or a disband when you have no options.

Situation: Fleet in Bul.sc, Fleet in Age, Army in Gre. I want to move Army to Bul and Fleet Gre. The rule is you can’t switch spaces. But in this setup, as I understand the rules, I can convoy the army to Bul, and move the fleet to Gre. I know I have used this maneuver in previous games. However, wh...

Just got on for a bit today... working on it.

Some games started processing
Womp Womp-2 may have a problem - all players readied orders but game is not advancing

There is no real penalty for dropping out of a game. This creates all sorts of problems Here is a suggestion: 1. Keep the site free to play, but charge a, say, $5US refundable deposit upon registration with the site. This is an individual player account balance. 2. When you join a game (either a new...

Sorry, don't let my comments about the Catholic Church send this discussion off down a weird tangent. My main point was I don't regard that institution as the source of moral righteousness that Brian was attempting to rely on it as. (Also its bizzare that he was suggesting the rules of just war sho...

There are two closely related issues here: 1. The Science of Life 2. The Value of Life 1. The Science of Life Science shows that human life begins at the fertilization of a human egg. From the moment of conception, the fertilized egg is a living, unique, and growing human. When fertilization is com...

The Castle at E4 is now surrounded by a nice Moat-zarella.
I’m really fondue this thread, it’s ‘un-brie-lievable’!

@darg I think you'll find the traditional Swiss opening fundamentally flawed. It's full of holes!
I always thought the Swiss was a Gouda opening. Really grate.
