Rhaedas

Looks like a Rain World slugcat. Probably something they’d do, too.

Isn’t fire not a thing itself, but the effect from a reaction?

Change posture, but also get up and move around. Take breaks away from the screen to let your eyes rest.

Of course doing this can also mess up the flow of ideas sometimes. Nothing worse than coming back and trying to recapture the zone you were in.

Agent Smith’s apple pie is similar

You don’t?

Dependency

I don’t see an estimate for cost. If it’s still higher, this would be a perfect use of subsidies to make recycling far cheaper than new material to help drive supply and demand.

I fight the universe with the universe. I pull out a 20 sided die. 10 or under I pull the lever. I place all blame or credit upon what the die says.

ThatHappened is a flat circle. Sometimes things are so conveniently contrived looking that they did really happen. Truth is stranger than fiction.

The most believable part is that is what a Rogen fan would say.

That’s what the anti-tachyon modulation circuit is for, to change the time phase and remove most of that lag. Once they’re in sync, it’s literally real time!

I wonder if Kepler or others would have found these planets had Barnard’s Star been in the areas searched? I.e., very small planets in close orbits around a dim star is a very difficult target, period. This also means that the thousands of systems we now know about certainly have far more than the few bodies we’ve detected because we can only see the biggest ones well.

You can also look at some of the coastlines and see the millions of years of erosion from the same patterns once the continents moved more into what we have now.

Lots of behind the scenes stuff of innovation, discovery, and making adjustments for things that went wrong.

We’re the only(?) species that have evolved them to become more than their basic function. Other species use colors and other features for mating signals, humans use shapes. Definitely wired to be interested in them.

It’s the opposite. A file transfer starts quickly, gets near the end, and then the time to finish starts climbing.

Beautiful.

Most Tolkien fans know this probably, but for those who don’t - Gandalf brought three eagles in the hope that even Smeagol might be saved.

Great for research to try and figure out if we’re typical or unique. And frankly amazing what they can glean from such a minuscule amount of data. But it’s totally out of reach for anything practical, even our own solar system is mostly beyond our ability to visit.

I do hope one day something will occur where people can point at my post and say, “you were completely wrong”. Not seeing it.

And now for the segue into a shower thought - so the first thing night side would notice is the Moon disappearing (if it’s in the night sky), but after that, how long before effects begin to suggest something is seriously wrong on the day side. Something tells me it will be sooner than the morning.

Every 5th time it’s a beetle.

It’s not something the Jedi would tell you.
