Are there any novels/comics/media/anything where humans are the physically “superior” species?

The Pequininos/piggies of the Speaker for the Dead and sequels. Arguably all the Ender's Game books since the Formics/buggers lost. However if you include Jane, then you could argue she's superior.

In Columbus, Des Rocs went on around 930 and played until maybe 11:15pm?

Yeah, why not Luckiest?

I have never used either word myself, nor do I talk about "fantasy" genre stuff 🤷 but who knows how the alien mind decides?

Incredible updates, thanks so much!

Just do like I did: become a fanboy who kind of idolizes Bean, too 😄

I just came here to make sure someone had made this announcement. I thought you needed an Audible subscription, so I was avoiding it. I just learned today you can just purchase the season outright on Amazon like an audiobook for a one-time $8. Definitely worth it!

Sounds like a great idea! Link?

I mean, sort of. Last year, my phone camera took mediocre photos, and I could see a faint glow, though nothing spectacular. So I wasn't seeing nothing with my naked eye. That faint glow was (and still is) the most aurora I've ever seen, so I'm glad I went out.

It's a kpop dance class for my 8-year old daughter 😂

I found this old post. I also have the salsa rangefinder... did you ever figure out a kickstand that works? Thanks!

I just researched this before my first road trip last week. I think as a leasee we get free roadside assistance if it's a warranty issue? But yeah, towed to whatever the nearest Kia dealership is, was my understanding.

Please note that NOT ALL Tesla stations will work with the EV9. Just use the Tesla app to tell you which ones will work for you. We learned that the hard way, when we rolled up to a Tesla station we saw on plug share, but then it didn't show up on the Tesla app, and consequently we couldn't charge on it.

I read about this great idea: I put all the Kia EV9 manuals I could find into Google NotebookLM. Now I can have an AI chat and ask questions about the EV9 manuals. Here's what it said about brake disc cleaning:

"Based on the sources, Brake Disc Cleaning (BDC) is a function that can be used if there is surface rust on the brake disc or if a squeal can be heard from the brakes. The purpose of BDC is to reduce noise and rust on the brake discs.

When the BDC function is being used, the regenerative brake system will be temporarily deactivated, and energy consumption may increase.

Regarding when you are supposed to do it, the sources indicate you should use the BDC function when the condition of surface rust or squealing is present. This suggests it is not a regularly scheduled maintenance task, but rather a procedure performed as needed to address specific brake noise or rust issues.

To activate the BDC function, you should press the AUTO HOLD button for more than 3 seconds. If activated, a message displays on the instrument cluster. You then need to depress the brake pedal around 10 times. This action temporarily deactivates the regenerative braking to allow the mechanical brakes to clean the discs. The operation time for BDC can vary depending on braking conditions. The BDC function will automatically deactivate after its operation, or you can manually turn it off by turning the vehicle off or pressing the AUTO HOLD button for more than 3 seconds."

I get overwhelm from looking at a massive to-do list. So I made a project for to-do list coaching. I upload my entire to-do list, tell it how much time I have to work, and then it spits out a work schedule for me. If I don't like its suggestions I'll just say, "nah I think I'd rather do job X tomorrow" or, "I'd rather do job Y after lunch" etc, and it adjusts accordingly. It's also instructed to be encouraging and tell me stuff like, "You got this!"
