    It was great and fun and you had some epic moments, but you take away absolutely nothing from it.

    Same with many other non-virtual activities..

    I say the fun and the epic moments are what you take, and it's worth it.

    You can play and have a life, it's up to you to do the balance. A weekend or another playing non-stop can be fun once in a while.

    thus the fact that we have receptors for cocaine-like molecules suggests that maybe cocaine like molecules were naturally abundant in pre-evolutionary times.

    so you're suggesting that, instead of going to barcelona, it would be better for him to travel back in time to the biogenesis era?

    Also, only the finest buildings were that way.
    Most common people had their walls were made from more irregular, "raw" stones, put together with adobe mortar.

  21. Re:cry wolf on Scientist Forced To Remove Earthquake Prediction · · Score: 1

    Of course their buildings were not 100% rock.
    The roof, windows, everything else, was from wood and other materials that could deteriorate, but be easily replaced. That's why it looks ruinous, but one can see most of the structure is intact.

    From the link in my previous post:

    Usually the walls of Incan buildings were slightly inclined inside and the corners were rounded. This, in combination with masonry thoroughness, led Incan buildings to have a peerless seismic resistance thanks to high static and dynamic steadiness, absence of resonant frequencies and stress concentration points. During an earthquake with a small or moderate magnitude, masonry was stable, and during a strong earthquake stone blocks were âoe dancing â near their normal positions and lay down exactly in right order after an earthquake.

    There are even canals that ran beneath the city, in a somewhat sophisticated water and sewage system, part of it still works (you can see water flowing in one of these canals).

    Building structures that won't collapse and crush everybody inside isn't trivial; but it is doable now

    It was doable 600 years ago.
    Just go visit Machu Picchu, and you'll see.
    It lays abandoned for half a millennium in a land of frequent earthquakes, and it's walls are still intact.
