I'm intrigued by what possible temperature glitch caused that stone to go molten though... Sounds amazing.

Well, since cave-ins are instant, and compressing matter increases temperature... this may be emergent behaviour.

Centration. Similar to Spacestation 13, but in 3D and first-person. Sounds damn awesome.

Well, if the cave in is truly instant, that means infinite velocity. Which means infinite energy. Which means infinite heat. Which means your universe a splode.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

If it was truly instant I'd get a higher FPS. No, it's just a really small amount of time, cause and effect at different locations in one planck-instant is impossible, afaik. We could calculate the amount of energy needed to create a cloud of boiling magma, to find the time that was spent compressing the matter.

Or I'm overthinking things again.  :)

Its not a question of why, its a question of why not have it faster? We already had enough of slow internet in the dialup era, the people who still have it (or close to it) can tell you most certainly that it sucks.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

I can get about a gig of data downloaded in about 15-20 minutes.
The only reason I come here is because this would take forever at home.
Here, my stuff gets done in a few minutes.

I hate you, jc. I spent 26 hours downloading a file the last couple of days.
Ok, I don't hate you
And why does the library's computer have BitTorrent? O_o

That's considered blazing fast? O.o

The lowest speed I've ever got was 1.7MB/s

Well, either someone installed it or fellow's got a flash drive with it on it, or something along those lines. It's... kinda' a thing you do, if you're using computers-not-your-own with regularity. Have a little suite of useful software on something portable.

It's faster than 2.8K/s, whippersnapper.

Maybe he brought a laptop and is only mooching off the library's bandwidth?

That's because your Internet is powered by leprechauns.

You lucky dog, my laptop refuses to connect to the library internet, and all kinds of torrents are blocked somehow :(
