    Hi all :)

    adampasz replied to 2Sunny's topic in Comics General

    I see your posts in the "Can you spare a grade" section. Moderators don't need to approve every post. Seems like you're doing great so far! Welcome to the boards.

    I regret the 10 minutes I just spent reading and thinking about this.
  3. adampasz
    Take it.

    Take ASM 5

    Thanks! Now I'm having second thoughts. The more I stare at that ASM 602, the more it's starting to freak me out. Is she holding the moped up in mid-air? What happened to her buttocks??

    Who ever thought this stuff was appropriate for children??

    It seems like nearly every Archie cover is an innuendo cover!

    I've tried three times. I still haven't been able to make it through the first episode. I can appreciate how groundbreaking the original books were, but now it's 80 years later, and Asimov's influence has seeped into so much other sci-fi. Beyond the amazing visuals, I'm struggling to find elements that feel engaging or fresh. I started reading the first novel as well, and I can appreciate it from a historical perspective, as it laid the ... um ... foundation for many other works to follow. But since I'm already deeply familiar with many of its successors, it's hard for me to get excited about the novel on its own terms.

    Page 11. My willpower finally crumbled.
  15. adampasz
    Take this too.
  16. adampasz
    I'll take it.

    Yeah, I remember there were some posted here in the $300-500 range when I joined in 2016. Back then, I was like, who in their right mind would pay $300 for a comic book?

    Could it be the amazing painted cover by Bob Larkin?

    S3 storage is cheap. Like 2¢ per gigabyte per month. At that rate, 5,000 users could each store 100 high-res images for ~$20/month all together. (10,000 users X 1MB X 100 images = 1,000,000 MB = 1,000 GB X $0.02/mo) AWS hosting costs can add up quick, but -- unless you're storing HD video -- the bottleneck is probably not due to S3. https://aws.amazon.com/s3/pricing My guess is, the software and DB schema for the message boards weren't designed to support the sheer volume of posts that have accumulated over 20 years. If basic tasks, like retrieving posts, require complex queries across multiple tables, it can reach a tipping point where performance degrades exponentially. Simply throwing more hardware at it may not solve the problem. I know there was a software upgrade a few years ago, but maybe that was just a temporary solution.

    Top 25 what? Long boxes?

    It has to be X-Men after the 90's reboot to present. I don't see how anything else even comes close.

    I'm only interested if the A-Bomb is inverted.

    Are you sure it's just "Borderline"?
