@Deusovi sorry for the wrong edit, I'm new here and knew that my edit would only be allowed if accepted by reviewers

Hi, I proposed a modification to OP that makes your answer wrong. Not that I didn't like it, my upvote is unfortunately the only justice I can do to it.

Seems fun, I look forward to it.

Dragon?

(wait, does blood flow work differently underwater?)

PatJ

Dec 5, 2017 13:57

Time to document yourself about whale anatomy.

PatJ

Dec 5, 2017 13:56

@Gryphon Probably a bit more, with that size, the blood flow must be quite problematic.

"Vertebrate muscle typically produces approximately 25–33 N (5.6–7.4 lbf) of force per square centimeter of muscle cross-sectional area when isometric and at optimal length."

@Gryphon This could help as well.

Hello people !

@JDługosz He must be coming toward us very fast.

PatJ

Ha, I missed worldbuilding!

PatJ

Nov 28, 2017 14:23

Are we killing inferior races again?

PatJ

Nov 28, 2017 14:23

Hello.

PatJ

Nov 27, 2017 16:24

@Gryphon What?

PatJ

Nov 27, 2017 16:12

Ztill b3tt3r than z3cr3t-g3rman.

PatJ

Nov 27, 2017 14:29

@Secespitus I understand that, so it must be true.

PatJ

Nov 27, 2017 14:24

@Gryphon I wouldn't trust automatic translation. I know for a fact they're unreliable.

@Secespitus I wish I could read Italic-English.

PatJ

Nov 27, 2017 14:10

@Secespitus We believe you.

Detonate bombs on earth, put a lot of dust in the atmosphere.

PatJ

Nov 23, 2017 14:46

It feels like it would be easier to make opaque clouds than to shoot down all those satellites.

PatJ

@Gryphon just get behind it.

Déjà vu

Déjà vu, (/ˌdeɪʒɑː ˈvuː/; French pronunciation: [de.ʒa.vy]) from French, literally "already seen", is the phenomenon of having the strong sensation that an event or experience currently being experienced has already been experienced in the past. Déjà vu is a feeling of familiarity, and déjà vécu (the feeling of having "already lived through" something) is a feeling of recollection. Scientific approaches reject the explanation of déjà vu as "precognition" or "prophecy", but rather explain it as an anomaly of memory, which creates a distinct impression that an experience is "being recalled". This...

@MichaelKjörling It's not the idea of anticipation, it's the idea that the mind can get it by itself.

PatJ

Dualism is part of magic.

PatJ

Feb 23, 2017 15:25

If you look at, for example, Battlestar Galactica. When they travel at FTL, that's an alternate science. But when you talk about angels, destiny and premonitions, that's magic.

PatJ

Feb 23, 2017 15:22

@MichaelKjörling That would show that "human being" is a relevant physical concept in itself, as it's the only creature incapable of interacting with that part of physics.

PatJ

Feb 23, 2017 15:19

In magic, "human being" is relevant to the laws of physics.

PatJ

Feb 23, 2017 15:19

I like to thing that magic has the idea (or at least essentialism) behind it.

PatJ

Feb 23, 2017 15:15

Hmmm, magic talk.

PatJ

Feb 23, 2017 15:15

Howdy people

PatJ

Feb 22, 2017 15:12

@TimB Indeed.

PatJ

Feb 22, 2017 15:11

@TimB Just verified, we get more questions than necessary for each of those four tags.

PatJ

Feb 22, 2017 15:02

@TimB I'd say the badge/rep info had a big impact. Especially amongst users that don't Meta/chat.

PatJ

Feb 22, 2017 14:49

@Pᴇᴛᴇ Unfortunately, any >3k as been blamed as "raging mod" those last days.

PatJ

Feb 22, 2017 14:10

@PavelJanicek Oh (again, never reached 3k, never VTC)

PatJ

Feb 22, 2017 14:09

"No action needed" is enough for progress.

PatJ

Feb 22, 2017 14:08

Yes, but you don't have to close it to get the badge.

PatJ

Feb 22, 2017 14:07

@PavelJanicek There is no badge for closing. It seems easier to vote not to close (not that I'd know, I'm just a 2.5k)

PatJ

Feb 22, 2017 14:06

Heck, if you produce 10 good questions on each of those subject rapidly, that's worth a badge.

PatJ

Feb 22, 2017 14:04

In the near future, how could my moon's gravity disturbance affect my city?

PatJ

Feb 22, 2017 14:01

How soon can we build a city on the moon? With, you know, gravity stuff.

PatJ

Feb 22, 2017 13:59

We're at 36, with the 4 remaining at 190 or over.

PatJ

Feb 22, 2017 13:58

Apparently, 200 questions in each of the top 40 tags.

PatJ

Feb 22, 2017 13:57

A: Does the generalist badge require 15 score total, or 15 score per tag?

It's definitely not 15 total score across all tags. According to the List of all badges with full descriptions, it requires a cumulative answer score (all upvotes minus all downvotes) > 15 per tag in 20 of the top 40 tags: Generalist silver; awarded once Earn a tag score of 15 on ...
