Celestia and Luna's Private Prison, Tartaros "The one who was born from cutting off the head of a rape victim." This snatched the attention of all the ponies present. Lord Tirek chuckled. "Weeelll, it looks like somebody wants a little attention!" Amanda's tone was half clinical...

Define those terms, and you have your answer.

Celestia and Luna's Private Prison, Tartaros "Hellooooo theeeeeere," an unknown voice called from somewhere far off, stunning everyone. "I can hear you. Why don't you come closer?" The voice was slightly high-pitched and rough, like that of an old man, and there was an amused ca...

And now we as a species are wandering a dark and cluttered room with nothing but a dinky little laser pointer, after our nice little flashlight burned its bulb out. How 'bout some nice IR goggles? Would you believe an IR monocle ? It was funded about a year ago, with launch expected in 2025. That's...

Still is. Or do you imagine Musk is sending NASA astronauts to ISS for free? And, um, you are aware that all of NASA's boosters were built by private companies, and most were designed by them as well? And that private companies have been flying private payloads on said privately built boosters for ...

Of all the "military-industrial complex" stuff the US spends money on, why would you object to space programs? You know why they built GPS, don't you? I do object to the military industrial complex, and while the state would ideally be producing all its own parts at least it's the one sen...

Allowing Arecibo to collapse while continuing to lavish funds on pipe dreams like manned missions to Mars and boondoggles like the ISS is a crime against science. Nice catch. ;) But NASA isn't spending any money on manned Mars shots, only Musk is. And in any case, the relationship between US space ...

Aside from that, (and while I don't have a source on this yet, if one exists), I've been told they've cordoned off the section of jungle surrounding the observatory because workers didn't have an opportunity to collect potentially toxic substances inside the platform's machinery before it collapsed...

this charmer Removed. Race baiting, Hitler worship, and jokes about pedo behavior are not "dark humor". I don't care if you (the generic 'you') think it's amusing - it has no place on NS. Thanks, Fris! But it looks like people quoted the post with the image link here and here . :( Those n...

I would have said "rising from their graves like zombies", but Z-Day was last month.

Still: welcome back, Crazy Girl!

Somebody posted this charmer to Arch's happy things thread: viewtopic.php?p=38012936#p38012936

Could somebody see it in their modly privileges hearts to make it go away as Arch mentioned in the OP?

Celestia and Luna's Private Prison, Tartaros At this point, Domenica [...] she gave away a grunt filled with fear and a bit of worried anger. She said under her breath, "Damn your curiosity. We're just wasting time with....with you being so amazed by this.... this prison. This is hell. And you...

Going to Tartaros in a Handbasket The Gates of Tartaros, Equestria Domenica found herself shaking her head and saying, "I thought he was all powerful. The Bible, the priests, the other texts...even in this world, he has to ask permission? From other...gods?" The Filipino gave out a sharp ...

I was completely distracted by this part. “We fly pretty low for these surveys so we can identify the gender of the sheep, Maybe I don't know much about sheep, in fact I'm certain that's the case, but the notion of flying low enough that you can tell what gender a sheep is sounds... well, LOW. Well...

Have you acted intentionally kind towards anyone lately? If so, in what way? Oh, sure. I've been supportive of friends who are overwhelmed with work, politics, and/or the plague. We also sent our usual generous donation to the local food bank, if that counts. Is human nature oriented towards kindne...

As I understand it, the receiver "cab" -- the movable part on cables -- isn't nearly large enough for adding transmitters, and the cables and supporting stuff isn't strong enough to bear a transmitter's weight. There's also the point either Wakipedia or another site I looked at raised: Ar...

See Wakipedia . Significantly, Arecibo had a powerful transmitter, which is a big help in finding and studying NEOs. Hmm. Finding and tracking NEO's is pretty important. Is there anything stopping FAST from adding that later? As I understand it, the receiver "cab" -- the movable part on c...

I feel like in certain times kids do have to receive punishment but only if there is a way out of the curse or hex. lol You wish to have the curse reversed? I'll need a certain potion first Go to the wood and bring me back: One: the cow as white as milk Two: the cape as red as blood Three: the hair...

There are forces in this world that are stricken with the most unimaginable pain for their choices. They hate all things good, all things right, and all things sacred. To bring these forces into the presence of a young person is wrong. I wouldn't necessarily say all politicians are that bad. Just m...

The greater tragedy of Arecibo is that it's still well within it's useful lifespan, but that there is no way without essentially rebuilding the whole thing to keep it operational. The Chinese have built one just kinda like it, but bigger. See Wakipedia . Significantly, Arecibo had a powerful transm...

I'm sorry, I had a few drinks last night and appear to have woken up in the 16th century.
