Ask a Question, Get Deep!

It's an interesting idea. I have no idea if it will work, or be efficient. It would seem to me that the energy cost required to transfer power over the air would be greater than the power transferred (At least according to thermodynamics). I think it could certainly be useful, but I would like to see more improvement in wireless interference removal. I think the fact that my wireless headset is continually interfered with by my router is incredibly stupid.

Sorry, tangent.

It already works in a technical fashion...tesla coils and light bulbs prove that. I don't know how that does on efficiency...though using a giant arc throwing device to light up your building would certainly be impressive.

On the whole, I'm not fond of wireless tech. But seeing a tesla coil 5 feet away light up a fluorescent bulb blows my mind. XD And I think it'd be cool to have an electric field charging or powering various devices around my home wherever they may be. I'd pay more for that feature than wireless communicating. Feels like it would be dangerous though. Especially to pacemakers. O_o

Motion charging?

[Deepfreeze32]

Motion charging as in winding to power a flashlight?

It works for flashlights, but I'd rather not do it for things like computers.

[Chozon1]

I was talking about the "kinetic motion" chargers that the army is starting to equip soldiers with. I wouldn't object to being able to charge stuff just by walking.

Being frustrated by an incredibly annoying squeak, only to realize it's your own nose? *_*

[Deepfreeze32]

Hah, never had that happen. I have had it be the cylinder in my computer chair, or the squeaking of the soles of my shoes. Both were equally annoying revelations.

[Chozon1]

Chairs can be bad. If I didn't love them so much, I'd probably not own one.

When something interrupts a really nice yawn, you just want to slap it?

[Deepfreeze32]

Yep. Or interrupts me...in general. lol

[Chozon1]

Fair.

Star Trek: Beyond?

[Deepfreeze32]

I remain unsure.

On the one hand, that trailer was bad. Like...really bad. Ugh. Terrible.

But on the other, even Simon Pegg (Scotty in the new films, and the co-writer) didn't like the trailer. Even the director (Who is known for The Fast And The Furious movies) didn't like it. They both claimed it was meant to appeal to Star Wars fans who wanted a sci-fi action movie, and Pegg even said "There's more to it than that."

Also, this:




So trailers aren't everything, but that trailer wasn't very inspiring. I'm hoping we can get a more reasonable one, but I'm still going to reserve judgement until I see the film. I respect Simon Pegg enough to do that, but he's the only reason at this point.

Also, McCoy's "Well that's just typical" was excellent. Karl Urban is far and away the best Bones they could have gotten for this reboot, and it's a dang shame the writers don't do his character justice.

I actually wasn't bothered by the trailer...it actually sort of reminded me of how the first movie really was. I still haven't seen the second one, but it reminded me of those previews too. I actually need to go and watch the first one again, since I think I've only seen it twice.

Fantastic Beasts and where to find them?

[Deepfreeze32]

The trailer looked interesting. I think I need a little more before I can commit to hype.

Also, RE Star Trek, I'd say don't bother with Into Darkness. If you didn't like the reboot, this one will just make you angry. I had an ok time (if I accepted it as not really Star Trek) until the end. Oh man. Abrams has made a film that only barely manages to be better than Insurrection and The Final Frontier. And even then, that's only because it's got more going for it as a film than those two do, not because it's better Star Trek.

Ugh. I hate Into Darkness. XD

[Chozon1]

I actually enjoyed both of those movies, though I would attribute that more to being a huge Trek fan than them being great movies...thanks for saving me two hours or so, and a heap of frustration though. XD I can cross Into Darkness off my list, I think. I do want to rewatch the reboot though; see if it wasn't just sheer shock that made me dislike it so much. Plus, they killed Thor. -_-

Ratchet and Clank: The movie?

[Deepfreeze32]

I mean, I never played the games. So meh?

Regarding Star Trek, I'll put it this way. If it's on the TV and there's nothing else to do, go ahead and watch it. It's more of the same from the reboot...until the last 15 minutes. The last 15 minutes is where everything goes to heck. XD

[Chozon1]

I think I'd watch it on Netflix if I was going to watch it,; just have it playing in the background while I worked on something else.

Fondue?

[Deepfreeze32]

Is that like Fondant Icing? Because I love that stuff.

*looks it up*

That...sounds incredible. I want it. I want it now.
