Shadowbanning happens over the whole of reddit, subreddit mods can't do anything about it. Make a new account?

Nah, some moderator called xandan de-shadowbanned me, he said it was Auto-Moderator's issues. Anyway, if xandan is reading this forum (and this thread), then i want to say that you're the best, sir/ma'am.

So... there is a term called "Hot" which describes kind of how illegal something is.

Well not so much how illegal it is but how much people would be willing to legally defend it. or rather how dangerous it is to take, own, and/or sell.

So a expensive painting is often so hot that it cannot be sold (usually only blackmailed back) because no one would buy it.

---

Is there a term of how dangerous something is to take, own, and sell in terms of being defended by illegal means? Or is that also hot?

Watching a show where these guys stole a million from a gun racketeer... Yet I was just sitting there going "I wouldn't have taken the money, its too hot"
As (#trufax) a diabolical global crime mastermind, I believe it's hot for that too.

I think the term is actually related to '(The) Heat', that being the law enforcement. So, hot goods are goods that bring down Heat, i.e. cops, on you. Simple as that.

What exactly happens to something when a warp drive runs into it?

Like if you had a spaceship with the theoretical Alcubierre whatever, and you drove that into a wall, what happens to the wall?

A question about your question: are you asking about the real Alcubierre drive or the theoretical Alcubierre drive?

Taking a wild guess, I'd say that first the wall would be warped, and then the ship would hit it and be kill.
I might just be misunderstanding how Alcubierre drives work, though.

Warp Drive would pass through the wall because you aren't moving through space, you are going through subspace.

Though they implied that you CAN hit objects at warp speed... I can only guess once an object is dense enough it has a warp signature...

Did you ever watch the English dub of Yu-Gi-Oh? The way the Pharaoh says "Exodia! Obliterate!" sounds a lot like that.

Obliterate has always been that word, Caroline.

Anyone know where I can get poetry mixed with art? I've had an unfulfilled hankering for poem-art for quite a while now. I've looked and found the odd quote-and-art thing, but not the entire poem. It's annoying that there's no market for poetry posters.

grumpybumpers was temporarily suspended, but it's now verified so it'll be up again. That was why your avatar and Descan's were down.
