Ask me stuff! I'll answer most anything.

Hello, my name's Megan (used to go by Maroon/Maroon Caludin).

I'm kinda nerd. XD Into games, role playing, computers, web design, manga/anime, cartoons/comics, drawing, writing, reading, animals, etc.

Huge fan of ferrets, Gravity Falls, Steven Universe, Infinity Train, and role playing.

Yes, I am joining in on this one. Got a question for me? Go for it! 

Hi everybody. I am Kim. My real first name is Tori(Vicki offline). I am 48 and mom of two girls. One is special needs and is such a sweetheart. Both are young adults.

I'm in the process of building up a forum with a certain theme that ties into the forum. You have to solve the pieces of the puzzles of the different realms to be able to unlock the whole land. 
I have a backstory and working on expanding the realm stories. Also how I can expand this further.   
The premise of the theme is;
The portal that surrounds us from our past and present lives. We seek the "Bizzare wonderland" called (). A land filled with rides, games and wonders beyond human imagination. Each realm is a piece of a puzzle to connect eh different realms. If you unlock all of them you get the key to the secret lore that is waiting for you. 
The land has different realms you can enter. Each realm has a different topic. 
Culture will have buisness, science, exc..
I am using Mybb.
Edit: So I forgot to change the actual topic of this post. My bad. So I guess it's Idea A. That was only a placeholder.
I will post updates as I continue developing this idea.

OK so I'm going to try to explain this as simply as possible without losing the explanation, this is in regards to so called "hyper space" or as it's more aptly known, hyperbolic space.

now to start with, you have euclidean, spherical, and hyperbolic space/time.

the first is simple, a flat plane with objects on it, from the observer all lines are straight as well as from above, a dimension someone living in euclidean space cannot see.

think of it like living on a piece of paper, not the surface but on that plane of existence.

you exist in 2 dimensions and if someone where to pass a sphere or ball though it you wouldn't see the ball.

you'd see a dot, which becomes a circle, getting larger and larger until it stops then gets smaller and becomes a dot again, then as before the dot ceases to be.

that dot exists in a dimension you are not aware of and cannot perceive, in this case the third dimension.

the same is true for higher dimensions and this is important when thinking about black holes and singularities.

The second, Spherical space is like what we're living in now.

all lines eventually converge and as before everything travels along that 2 dimensional axis, the only difference is, if you were to travel in a straight line on that 2D plane, you'd end up eventually reaching the same point, and if two people walked a straight line they'd meet at roughly 45 degrees halfway along the sphere.

weird I know right?

it get's weirder... then you have hyperbolic space/time...


ok so that's a 2D hyperbolic object, it's technically a circle and you can travel from one end to the other, but it get's weirder.

imagine the real world, our space time, it's like moving along the edge of this object and it takes ages to go around it even though for us it's perceived as a straight line, much like 2D people on that hyperbolic object.

the reality is, the fastest way to travel between two points is a straight line, however the straight line of the plane you exist on is not necessarily the straightest line across an object that exists in more than 3 dimensions such as space/time.

in fact according to string and M theory there could be up to 11 dimensions!

so in theory the distance from earth to let's say the andromeda galaxy is much shorter across a curved hyperbolic object in the dimension closer to the object's actual dimensions than it is in our 3 dimensions.

crazy right?

so that means traveling through Hyper-space or hyperbolic space is taking a straighter path than through 3 dimensional space.

now there are other ways to traverse these distances.

you can travel hyperbolic space of course, provided you have a way of accessing it.

you can bridge 2 points by creating a wormhole through hyperbolic space allowing you to traverse it without leaving your space/time.

you can fold it through hyperbolic space side/stepping it entirely and just jumping across with a folded space or jump drive.

or you can traverse 3 dimensional space by bending or warping it in a manner similar to folding space only less intensive with a warp drive or gateway.

and then there's the space above hyperbolic space, much like how we can see the entirety of a sphere or a flat piece of paper if you were to go above hyperbolic space some how you could exit at any point within hyperbolic space effectively short cutting the straightest line with an arc, this is how some science fiction depicts jump drives and such.

effectively that would be the multiverse though, you leave the universe and re-enter it at a different point.

as a side note though I recently learned of a new multiverse theory that kinda shook up all this.

the multiverse may in fact all be part of our perceived universe, and each universe is like a pocket of causality on the same space/time which means simply using hyperbolic space would allow you to travel to other universes, not that you would want to, they would have completely different laws of physics with infinite possibilities starting from their own big bangs.

this also means that space/time has always existed and that universes are merely periods of chaos from explosions as entropy normalizes that region of space/time.

for us that's trillions upon trillions of years from now, but it does mean the universe doesn't die, instead the space/time we exist in is literally everywhere and everything at once, it is older than we can imagine, and will exist longer than we can perceive, and when our universe returns to static empty space/time, another universe will simply pop into being where ours was now, or at least nearby it.

Don't forget that as spacetime normalizes from the compression in the singularity everything get's farther and farther apart too, though this may apply less in higher dimensions where you can side/step the ripples, hills, and valleys in and around gravity wells which we currently have to travel along.

not that this matters for us humans of course lol.

anyway wanted to get that out there, get knowledge out and stuff!
Zalost - out.

For years, the gaming community has speculated the approximate date of GTA V's successor. To no avail, we've attempted to predict the next generation, all while enjoying GTA 5's remarkable success. Finally, rumors are spreading that the GTA 6 development has begun a couple short months ago. 

Personally, I think we're still a couple years out from its arrival. GTA V has been incredibly successful and is a fantastically well-designed game. It will be interesting to see where they take the next generation. Hopefully it won't take away from the spirit and character of the current game, as the 5th generation has a lot of nuances and easter eggs that have helped to make it the game that it is. 

What are your thoughts? Are you looking forward to the 6th generation, or is the 5th generation pristine, beyond reproach or improvement?

I just got done grilling for the 4th. I tried out a new experiment: Grilling with Bourbon wine. Alcohol is supposedly an interesting component of cooking. Wines are usually used for flavor, and the alcohol itself burns off. They also affect the cooking process. Alcohol can cause proteins to denature somewhat, so it essentially aids in the "cooking" even without heat. 

Anyway, my hamburgers were soaked with Bourbon red wine for about 45 minutes before they ever hit the grill. It added a nice flavor to the final patties as I took them off. It was an interesting experiment that caused them to cook a little differently, but it worked out pretty well. I will say my wine choice could have been better. Next time I'll try something a little sweeter. 

Have you guys ever cooked with Wine before? If so, how did you use it in the kitchen?

Despite all of the events that are surrounding us, we're still celebrating it in my town. No official firework shows are available (coronavirus risks), but a lot of my friends are taking it into their own hands and shooting fireworks in my own apartment neighborhood. There are quite a few of them, and a lot of the "amateur" shows are fantastic, even better than many of the official ones over the years. 

How are things shaping up for you guys?

Twitter has taken steps to actively label and censor the president’s tweets (which are usually written in jest and often off the mark). Facebook has historically been much more lenient and has not taken action. Now advertisers are boycotting them. 

I was shocked when I first saw twitter censoring his tweets and flagging them, but it has begun to set a precedent for other platforms to follow. Facebook has started aggressively fact checking posts (a move that was needed badly much sooner than it had arrived), and social media is generally cracking down on misinformation. 

What are your thoughts on Facebook’s handling of the current events?
