Limited PvP -> PvE Free Character Transfers
Mythic+ Dungeon Adjustments - 27 April
Affliction changes are alright, but specc still too clunky
Is anyone successful on PVE moving strictly with click to move?

Astronomers have taken the first ever image of a black hole, which is located in a distant galaxy.
It measures 40 billion km across - three million times the size of the Earth - and has been described by scientists as "a monster".
The black hole is 500 million trillion km away and was photographed by a network of eight telescopes across the world.
Details have been published today in Astrophysical Journal Letters.
Prof Heino Falcke, of Radboud University in the Netherlands, who proposed the experiment, told BBC News that the black hole was found in a galaxy called M87.
"What we see is larger than the size of our entire Solar System," he said.
"It has a mass 6.5 billion times that of the Sun. And it is one of the heaviest black holes that we think exists. It is an absolute monster, the heavyweight champion of black holes in the Universe."

Do you think tax dollars might've been better spent elsewhere?

Hmm so its like a flaming donut.
TO FIX WOW:1. smaller server sizes & server-only LFG awarding satchels, so elite players help others. 2. "helper builds" with loom powers - talent trees so elite players cast buffs on low level players XP gain, HP/mana, regen, damage, etc. 3. "helper ilvl" scoring how much you help others. 4. observer games like in SC to watch/chat (like twitch but with MORE DETAILS & inside the wow UI) 5. guild leagues to compete with rival guilds for progression (with observer mode).6. jackpot world mobs.

For sure. Not like anything can be done about black holes. Originally Posted by Stands in the Fire

You mean people were believing in something they couldn't see this WHOLE TIME?

MIT computer scientist Katie Bouman w/stacks of hard drives of black hole image data. She wrote the algorithm that combined all the data on the hard drives and came up with the image..

congrats on showing a clear lack of knowledge on space and how it impacts our lives. then again i wouldn't expect someone who supports trump either know or care about space. Originally Posted by Ghostpanther

Ug, why did you have to turn this into a political topic? So obnoxious.

What a great contribution to science!
I love the way the professor describes the black hole in question:
"It is an absolute monster, the heavyweight champion of black holes in the Universe."

You assume the photograph is the only thing they got out of this study. They probably invented something just for this purpose. Originally Posted by Ghostpanther
