It is pretty crazy people were able to figure that all out and we are able obtain crazy detailed pictures without radiation.

No I haven't seen it! Hoping to see a controlled quench someday but also hoping to avoid needing to use it in any emergency situations; it'll have to be a damn near life/death situation to hit that button. Very costly decision. I guess there's also a dwindling supply of helium in the world so that could get interesting as time goes on.

I'm not sure if another game killed Halo so much as it imploded on itself, sadly. Maybe whatever game made the open world blueprint popular? But honestly, Guardians wasn't great either and it wasn't open world.

I think it's more the culture of gaming now a days than anything. Everyone likes the free to play mulitplayer shit, or did and companies won't let it go. A solid campaign goes to the wayside when they have to concentrate on the multiplayer to rake in the $$$. Halo had the best of both worlds, and now it has nothing, it really lost it's spark.

That said I still enjoyed Guardians more than Infinite, just needed more Chief. Infinite went a little too off the Halo rails.

But I guess that's how most things end up in the end. Hold onto the great memories.

It's science-y enough but I'm definitely not considered a scientist so much as a technologist. I work as a MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) Technologist. Previously a X-Ray Technologist.

My machine does all the science for me but it's a pretty neat concept. Using magnetic gradients and RF pulses at hydrogen protons to acquire accurate digital imaging.

Old habits die hard. Getting used to the more inclusive, positive environment. It feels weird...and warm.

I gotta ask, after seeing your name a few times now. Is it literally just from the animal or is it an Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood reference? Or something else?

Love the simplicity in a lot of the usernames early on.

Damn. Not sure why I didn't think to do that! Thanks so much!

Not gonna lie, definitely joined solely for the name and cute mouse logo but I'm happy with the decision so far!

However I can't seem to get any of the apps to work with this instance. It's either not listed (Jerboa) or the url won't add (lemmur). Unless there's a specific way to set up the url that I'm unaware of. Anyone else have any insight? Or is it just a browser thing until it gains more traction?
