Hussie's a Masshole anyway; I'd rather believe he's just taking pity on his local Major City (tm). e: Also, it appears that Nantucket is being spared entirely -- not a single meteor on the whole island! Bet I know where the premier vacation spot of post-Reckoning New England would be~~~

The page after that makes me wonder: just how hosed would the Earth be if an asteroid somewhat larger than Australia hit us, and would it even make any difference if it landed in the ocean or not? (my guess is no) please tell me there is an app for this

Wasn't it stated by Caliborn that everyone but Dirk has him blocked? I guess he could get around it like this trolls, but he didn't seem interested in them anyways. Also, another piece of evidence that Jake might, in fact, have brain issues. EDIT: Also, wasn't Derse being devastated by the red miles?

Yes it is true that people who have brain problems can sense their own kind, and are quite forthright about this. (alternatively accusations of physical mental defects are a fairly common go-to when it comes to describing people who in one way or another don't seem that bright) Re: Derse, yes, but I guess DD stopped before completely destroying the place? Since moderation is kind of his thing.

(my guess is no) The meteor that may have killed the dinosaurs was estimated to be 10 km wide. So a 4000 km wide asteroid would kill us pretty good. The Earth itself would stay intact, though. Supposedly the planet has been struck by a Mars-sized object in the distant past and we only lost a little mass, which then became the Moon.

(my guess is no) Sure is lucky for the Exiles that Bec managed to vaporise that meteor. though I guess he did a fair bit of damage on his own anyway.

(my guess is no) Of course there is! As it turns out, for a typical impact from a 4000km meteor less than 10% of the Earth is expected to melt. I was expecting it to be a bit worse than that.

Haha, if you set a really low impact speed (like, 0.001 km/s), you get some overflow/underflow error that make it a lot more devastating than at higher speeds!quote:Your Inputs: quote:Your Inputs:

There is a name for the mathematical principle Caliborn describes for drawing that circle, but I can't remember what it is. It's no doubt laden with philosophical significance, too.

JT Jag posted:Considering how many people were feeling sympathetic for the prospective main villain of the story, this was inevitable. It wasn't sympathy so much as slightly repelled amusement. Caliborn is legit adorable when he's not in a position of power over anybody, because his bizarre, omni-resentful attitude all feeds right back into him. Otherwise, well. This happens.

Erned posted:So how many people have figured out that Caliborn's brain problem is autism? Is it obvious? This kind of goes beyond autism. Caliborn recognizes human emotions and concepts, he's just physically and psychologically repelled by anything on the positive end of that scale. He's not oblivious to other people's feelings; he recognizes, exploits, and abuses them, and views that as a legitimately laudable form of interaction. His learning disability is kind of savant-like, but the similarities stop there. He's only one mental half (the bad half) of an alien whose culture has no form of societal interaction whatsoever. As a result, his Issues are a little too broad to be captured in one term.
