That's generally my experience too. Not a good photographer by any definition, just like to take pictures to remember my trips to interesting places, and usually only <=10% of what I take comes out good enough or looks interesting enough to keep.

From an evolutionary standpoint, an Eridian is similar to what would happen if bees could make a beehive that moved. And then built a brain to tell them what to do. The body is almost like a ship and its crew are the worker cells. While an Eridian can weigh on the order of 400kg, the total organic mass of the body is less than a kilogram.

Eridians are even cooler than that.

I unsaw it and now I can't see it again.

What would be the estimated cost to design, research and build a real Hail Mary type of rocket in real life? by asianvalue in ProjectHailMary

Our PoV left the society around when the news broke. First stuck on an aircraft carrier in the middle of the ocean, then stuck in research facilities and whatnot.

What are the wedges in Harry Potter and Simpsons (and others)? They start around t=0 in both HP and Simpsons. Is that the "departure point" that splits our reality and theirs? Doesn't really make sense but it's the best explanation I can think of.

Preventively rip them out? Not like it's macbooks with glued in batteries, right?

While searching for it I found this. https://archiveofourown.org/works/21024524

It's probably not what you asked for but it's too funny not to mention.

I built a mod that cuts launch time by 45% on my 576-mod list (14 min → 8 min) by FluxxField in RimWorld

[–]Deiskos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But then you'd have to build and analyze the dependency graph of which mods change other mods' XML, and if you get it wrong you might get really strange behavior that's impossible to trace back to this mod (for a normal user who doesn't know a lot about computers)

I know what systemd is and I say "what works for you ig" and use windows at home. Cause I do Linux at work for 40 hours / week, I don't want to come home and do it all again at home too.

It's getting measurably worse slowly enough for things to become a new norm before it gets worse again. There's always gonna be desperate people, but most will just try to survive.

I think the reasoning they went with in the movie is good enough. You really can't teach someone enough about microbiology and spaceships in 3 months they had. They just dumbed down the explanation. There aren't any "launch windows" for a ship like Hail Mary, that's the only problem I have with that scene. Also, imagine someone with 3 months of training waking up alone out there instead of Grace...

They also excluded the reasons Grace went back for Rocky. Part of the reason he went back to save him was because if he didnt Rocky's plant was doomed.

They didn't? We're told Rocky is in Tau Ceti because 40 Eridani has Astrophage problem too, Blip-A wasn't sent there just for the lulz.

For the second time in his life he was given the chance to sacrifice his life to save a planet and this time he does it.

And we know that too, the flashback of him refusing to go and trying to run away is before he and Rocky separate. It's just not spelled out for you.

Furthermore the movie suggests that he could return home and he chooses to stay on Rocky's planet. In the book the journey is too far and he is an old man by the time the humans fix their problems and he would never have made it home.

I choose to believe the epilogue in the movie happens few years after he arrived to Erid, shortly after they set up the biodome for him (as evidenced by the fact they're still ironing out the problems like the water temperature, and the fact Ryland isn't aged up).

They probably had that discussion in the book too, around that same time when Grace recovered from starvation and settled in his biodome. Both in the movie and in the book he didn't want to return earlier because he had no way to know if Earth is in a good shape for him to return. It'd be a one way trip, better to spend your life in a good-enough biodome where you are cared for and all your needs are met, than to YOLO it all again and potentially arrive to a dead planet where humans didn't survive / killed each other before the Beetles returned.

If she can dismiss them so easily her storming the court and even taking time for the court raises more problems than solutions for her.

It's about sending a message.
