“If he seduces something from the mineral kingdom now, he’s collected the whole set.”

Knowledge = power = energy = mass, which is why time dilates while you’re in a book shop. (Sorry to Terry Pratchett.)

“You have been lied to” “This will change your life” “This one weird trick”.

I’m a little bit over hyperbolic claims in blog post titles.

Every argument I ever hear against thinking about things in the cool space future boils down to “we couldn’t do it this financial quarter so it’ll never be possible at all”.

Thanks for the recs.

Fuck those fuckers. I critted twice in my last session and rolled minimum damage both times!

“Roll to see if you know the leech-to-gold exchange rate.”

Nice-looking table. A lot more symmetrical than any table of mine would be.

Or you could take the middleman out of the equation and put up a fog net.

I don’t know about hopeful, but I’ve always thought it was human-empowering. When I was getting into scifi there were a lot of post-apocalyptic novels (yes, even for children) and in most cases the world was in the state it was because of our choices, for good or bad.

I think you mean ‘pick your favourite dinosaur… for today’.

It’s Stegosaurus. How could it not be Stegosaurus?

If it’s that big I think we’ve got a pretty good chance of seeing it coming. But at any given time we’re only looking at a fraction of the sky.

If we spot a moon-sized object heading for us, I wouldn’t start any long books.

200 tons of space rocks rain down on the Earth every day. It’s the ones the size of Mt Fuji you need to worry about.

Here are the most recent couple. Actually about India rather than Africa.

I’ve been watching youtube videos about this lately. The trees shade smaller plants and between them their roots wick water down into the water table. As a result, dry seasons get milder and erosion reduces.

I dunno. Supermarkets near where I live sell avocados individually out of a big plastic tub under a sign saying AVOCADOS in case you can’t tell by looking.

Agreed, but since they’re not avoiding packaging or etching, etching is better.

Personally, I’d rather see them etched wit guacamole recipes.

I always see these things on a Thursday. Time zones.

My cousin works (sometimes) as a truck driver. He’s certified for any size truck, flammable/biohazardous goods, the lot. He’d be making good money if he could stop telling his bosses to fuck off.

I was in IT for 20 years. In order to succeed, I had to become 50% therapist.
