For a long time now I wanted to make a website to house my ideas on life, the universe and everything else. Then please, please, please get a blog. We have better places for posting your original material for critique. -Az. Actually, I *did* make a website (though I haven't uploaded it yet), but I'm...

Here's the best non-pornographic fanfic I've ever read. The only one too. Basically, it says: let's take Neon Genesis Evangelion, and introduce it to Warhammer 40k. The result is an excessive amount of awesome. Warning: it's very, very, VERY long, and not yet concluded. Oh, and you might want to be ...

There were a couple of forums in Hebrew I visited in my tender years, (Vgames and Gamer to those who care) but I left when I was 14. In 2003 I joined the community of http://forums.kyhm.com , which was (then) based on the Exploitation Now and Errant Story webcomics. The place was pure awesome, and I...

Assumption (C): We can't differentiate between 'real' world and 'illusion' world. {you are welcome to try and attack this point} Thus, there there will be no evidence for or against the presence of the illusion, no grounds to agrue in either direction, and nothing to be gained from either point. Ex...

This is me during training., about two and a half years ago. I use this avatar all over the internet, so if you see it, know that it's me.

Definition (A): There is only one 'real' world [I use the word 'world' as 'universe'], it is defined as a world which exist, but not inside another world. Definition (B): illusion world can exist inside the real world, inside another illusion world, or not exist at all. Also, there is no limit to th...

First off - the sand didn't dissolve. In fact, the solution was made so that it won't interact with the sand in any way.

Secondly, making a video of the procedure would take about two hours (with getting the materials ready and all). Sorry, but I'm too lazy for that.

My thought process is like a train. It goes on linearly, without stopping. I can grasp any concept as it is, but to string concepts together I need words. I don't think with a voice, it's more like the concept of how the word should sound. Kinda like looking at a music sheet and imagining the sounds...

Wow, compared to you guys I'm almost normal. Except the frantic search for reality's ctrl-Z key that I sometimes do. My brother bought me a one liter beer mug about a month ago. As it happens, I didn't have enough beer in my apartment (I recycle my beer pretty fast) at the time. At 12:00 PM or so, I...

Meeting people in meatspace, who you know online and so they call you by an online handle, that's just neat. I've played D&D with people who only knew me as Second Talon. Vocally (and often textually), it just gets shortened to ST (esstee). Esty/Estie/Estee isn't an uncommon name where I live. ...

i've pondered a few ideas that would make everyone happy (or rather meet everyone's criteria on how it all started), the one thing that i jokingly thought one day was, what if God looks like a monkey? i thought it was a bad joke at first, but then i thought, the evolutionist are happy, cause we cam...

Today I've leaned about copy protection techniques (for digital media, like disks and CD's), from the floppy period to PS2.
Also, I've leaned that my dad used to sell his own programs at some point in the 80's.

I can imagine, that a some testing will show that the solution shouldn't be an exact 50/50 mix of turpentine and trichloroethane. I honestly couldn't tell the difference between 45%/55% to 55%/45%. The refraction value is the same +-0.005, which apparently isn't enough for me to discern the differe...

My father got contracted to do a little job that might interest you guys. Background: A company here makes a pseudo marble tiles by melting polyethylene with fine white sand. Their problem was that they couldn't know how clean their sand was without making a tile out of it, a resource and time consu...

@Savara: We have some very good outfits in the IDF, on par with the SAS. On the other hand, my unit is so small (because we're unneeded) that most people I've met never even heard of it. About the killing people part: being born here is not a reason to kill people. What many people forget is that it...

This thread has more misconceptions than posts... About your health: My eyesight is BAD. Medically, I'm considered incapacitated if I lose my glasses (and I was still considered to be a good marksman). I also suffer from hyperkyphosis (back problems). Heck, my sergeant in basic training has iron nai...

Most people here need to read more webcomics, so they would see that what they are currently reading is, in lack of a better term, teh shit. For example, I present to you a webcomic I'm sure you haven't heard of, even though it's pure awesome. Not only it's funny and thought provoking, it uses featu...

I always thought a name, or even a nick, should be given to you from someone else. Naming yourself is just... Arrogant. Anyway, back in high school (which was a boarding school), about 5 years ago, during launch: I was sitting, staring at nothing and lost in thought. Apparently, my friend who sat in...

My uncle is fond of saying: "there are liquids meant for washing oneself which are based on water, and there are liquids meant for consumption based on alcohol. There is no need to combine the two." This is an argument against cocktails, and I hope I translated it ok. Also amusing, my uncl...

On the other hand, depression is a natural occurrence. It cannot be avoided. Sometimes things are getting better, until the bubble pops and all hell break loose. Sometimes things are getting worse, until people start to realize that they aren't any longer. Personally, I think that there we are heade...

We don't have colleges where I live (Israel), you skip directly from high school to university, with three years in the army to cool your head.

I'll start by saying that I live in Israel, and that we have some major problems here. Best example is our prime minister, who resigned this week due to the police pressing charges against him (fraud and bribe). Aside from World War 3 (which will erupt somewhere in the twenties, mark my words), the ...

This is halfway offtopic.

I want to start playing the game, and I even started one.
The problem is that this game is too damn complicated. Any good tutorials you can point to?

Not a book but a writer. Karel Čapek (copied the name from wikipedia, no idea how it's pronounced), was a Czech sci-fo writer between 1920 to 1940. He's the one who created the word 'robot' in his play R.U.R.. The thing I like the most about his books is how much they are accurate today, seventy to ...

I'm biased towards things that make me think. Doesn't matter what or how, if it made me think chances are I'll like it. I'm biased against things that assume I'm stupid. Best example is TV shows with that annoying audience laughter. It's like they think I'm too stupid to understand the joke, and I'm...

Me, my cousin, and his parents actually discussed about doing something like that. Our main problem was that we're not from 'the big city' and therefore traffic would be... Limited. Personally I think your idea is awesome, and is actually a place where I might go and hang out at. I don't think movie...

I hate introduction posts... But hey, when in Rome, do as the Romans do*. My name is Adar Talmi, I'm 21 years old and I live in Israel. I've finished my term in the army not long ago, and I'm currently studying for the psychometric exams (required to get into a decent university here). I was a regul...
