you need all the loyalty missions completed. To trigger them, you will need to initiate conversation with everyone at least twice, (I can't prove it, but I suspect you need to exhaust a few dialogue options with each) but after that Chambers should inform you if there's a loyalty mission available.

The best ending is also a result of careful preparations (ship upgrades which you'll get as a result of asking your squad about potential improvements), and then after a certain point, very careful timing and a few critical choices.

This FAQ is what I used in order to get everyone out alive. http://www.gamefaqs.com/pc/944906-mass-effect-2/faqs/59012

@GiveUpNed: Stealth archery is a marvelous way to play. but you don't have to worry about arrows or really even bows if you do things a certain way. I recommend picking up the bound bow spell and investing a few points up the conjuration line. A stealth archer always chooses when to engage, so you don't risk the duration on your summoned bow, and each cast of it comes with 100 bound arrows. If you invest three feats or so, you have a bow that has improved damage, slays summons, and steals souls. using it doesn't level conjuration very fast, but the power of the bow isn't based on your conjuration skill, so you needn't worry.

Full disclosure: I also invested in the perk in illusion that makes all spells cast silently. Invaluable if you're using spells such as invisibility or muffle.

Y'all should check out overthegun on YT or overthegun.net for a series of let's plays called "HTSF" or How to Successfully Fail.

They're blind runs (or near to) featuring entertaining commentary, epic digressions, a broad yorkshire accent, and varying levels of rage. It's not for everyone, but if it's for you, you need to experience it.

Anyways, irregardless of what him and me decided, we found a different book than that. Between all the ones we could of got, supposably that one's the most unique, but really, I could care less.

Has the mass changed over time, or has the weight changed over time? It's important to differentiate between the two. Mass is essentially the amount of stuff you have. Weight is the effect of gravity on that stuff. On earth, 1 kg in mass is 1kg in weight. But if you go to Mars 1kg in mass would be 380g in weight, because Mars has about 38% of the gravity earth has. It's still 1kg in mass because mass never changes, but it would weigh 380g. Technically kilograms are a measure of mass and not weight, but it's simpler to just keep it all in g and kg than messing about with newtons and stuff.

I suspect they are weighing these Platinum/Iridium balls. Therefore the weight has gone down, but not necessarily the mass. Now, this brings me onto my wildly uninformed theory based on the information you have given me - what if gravity has changed? We still don't understand a lot about gravity. We know it is a hugely weak force compared to the other main forces in the universe. The nuclear strong force, nuclear weak force and magnetism are all about the same strength. But gravity is incredibly weak compared to those. One popular theory is that all 4 forces were the same strength at one point, and gravity got weaker for some reason. What if gravity is still slowly getting weaker? That would account for the weight of something going down, even if the mass is remaining constant.

Another explanation might be that these balls are very slightly radioactive. Immeasurably radioactive. Infinitesimally radioactive. They would therefore be decaying very slowly. The weight and mass will therefore be going down, but you aren't changing the fundamentals of what makes a kilogram a kilogram

The changing gravity idea addresses the rather troubling metascience idea that physics as we observe it may not be constant with space or time. Indeed, there's no reason to think it is, other than the fact that we've never detected any instance of change that didn't have another explanation. It's unclear how we would even detect such a change, given the reliance of our own measurement systems on the idea of universal constants. That said, given the high cost of accepting such a view of the universe, you'll probably find that explanation at the very bottom of a scientist's toolbox.

The reason that the standard kilogram changes over time is probably best attributed to the fact that it's a physical object; that specific lump of metal is subject to diffusion and other forces (such as radioactive decay, which you mention!). For example, even stored in vacuum or under noble gases, as long as the thing isn't somehow reduced to absolute zero, there is a non-zero probability of random thermal excitation freeing a molecule.

You're quite right that currently the measure of mass is comparitive; that is, a standard Kilogram is by definition equal to the mass of a physical object (and by extension the various replicas of it that exist outside of France).

There is nothing sacred about the amount of mass that is in a kilogram; much like the second and the meter and the pound, these are all units that have evolved from organic measurements (e.g. the physical length of a foot) and been more and more precisely defined as demanded by technology.

So what does it mean if the Standard Kilogram changes over time? As you noted, not too much for the purpose of everyday life. but what does it mean for Science?

The quantity of mass in a kilogram doesn't alter symbolic or exact relationships; no Laws of physics on the books are going to be invalidated. The only place error can be introduced is in calculations that arrive at some number. In such a case, error could indeed propagate relative to all other calculations done with the original unit. The new definition of mass would need to be used to adjust all the empirical "constants" Engineers work with every day, such as density (kg/m^3).

But since the variation in the Standard Kilogram is almost immesurably small, there isn't any consequence for everyday engineering, which is pretty approximate anyways.

=============

Okay now that the boring stuff is out of the way, I say Fie on this fancy Imperial mode of measurements. Let's get back to some Traditional units of American measure, as proposed by Thomas Jefferson in 1789: Follow along! I make learning FUN

2 quarts make a pottle, while 4 gills make a pint. 8 gallons make a wet firkin, and two wet firkins make a rundlet or kilderkin or a dry strike.

Two wet kilderkins make a cry coomb or a wet barrel, whereas two dry coombs make a wet hogshead or a dry quarter, each of which is a quarter ton.

a wet hogshead and a third make a tierce, while two wet hogsheads are a pipe or a butt or puncheon.

And two butts make a ton.

I work for a not-to-be-named super regional bank. There is NOTHING worse than bad credit. No credit doesn't even approach bad credit. Bad Credit can take a decade to to away. I can make No Credit go away in 20 months. Step 1: Have a job. You won't be borrowing money if you can't pay it back. Step 2: Have two monthly bills in your name. Cellphone, gas, electric... surprise me. Step 3: Apply for a personal loan under the Community Reinvestment Act. I suggest $1,000. I don't care if you NEED $1,000. That is not the point. Step 4: Take a portion of the loan and get yourself a secured credit card. That's it. Welcome to credit. Most banks will lend you a small amount of money under the CRA so long as you have been employed for, like, a year and can provide 'alternate' credit. That's what the bills in your name are for. Occasionally I can talk them into pulling and using Canadian Credit. Anyone can get a secured credit card, you just need cash. You then have a revolving line of credit in your name and an installment loan in your name. That's two of the three types of lending banks look for (and normally, no one will say "we won't lend to you because you don't have a mortgage in your name"). Now, if you don't have a job and haven't been paying for anything in your name for a year you're really in no position to complain. You need to show you're responsible first.

This. Credit is an obstacle, so at first it will be difficult to finance anything like a house or a car under favorable terms. Given that you're moving to Seattle, the housing market is less depressed there than it is elsewhere in the nation (because people Want to live in Seattle see also: You're moving there), so odds are you will need significant financing if you're looking to get a house anytime soon. As a foreign national, your number one priority is gainful, steady employment.

Culturally, Seattle is fine. I've only spent a couple extended visits there, but if you're culturally minded, there's plenty to do and see. I encourage you to take advantage of some of the plays, operas and concerts that breeze through regularly, since not all regions of the U.S. get the same exposure to as much.

The people, in my experience, are friendly enough. Seattle is a big enough city that most people will note any accent you have and be silently charmed by it, though some will be compelled to ask questions or chit-chat. As others have said, be prepared for some ribbing based on the few ideas of Australia people have, especially if you're dealing with kids.

Coffee, tea, and potables in general are taken fairly seriously, so if you like those things or are a connoisseur, you'll do just fine. In terms of cuisine, you'll most likely be able to find whatever groceries you're accustomed to cooking with, but more expensively since they'll be import products. Be sure and take advantage of seasonal fruits and vegetables. Apples, grapes and peaches in particular are grown extensively in Washington state, so you can get the best and freshest if you're shopping in the right place/time.

Climate: Seattle is humid, although it doesn't get as much rain as other parts of the state or the region. It rarely gets cold or hot enough to require AC or heating, so sometimes there will be apartments or houses that do not have these things. Be sure and have some jackets of varying warmth, and perhaps a good warm hat.

I'm okay with this.

Aren't there like 3 of these threads already?

A second look around the forums revealed that there are two places where the information is revealed, but none of them mention the space core pack or allude to it in the title. I certainly didn't see any when I did my due diligence.

At least, and most stupidly this seems to just be an article copied and pasted. Consdering it says "Earlier today a new offering popped up".. even though its been several days since its release now.

I can see why you'd say that, but I don't plagiarize. The correction to the release date is duly noted and updated in the original post.
