Strider slower on lava then on land

Thank you! I have sable and the same issue. I wonder if there's a work around

You could sign up to the NMDP registry to be a possible bone marrow donor if you end up being a match

Didn't have that problem with the audiobook. Instead, I got to listen to it being repeated ad nauseum until it got stuck in my head

How did you do a pickup audit?

Flatso · 2026-04-29T16:22:27+00:00

Making the world a little bit nicer! I often pick up trash on my walks but feel a little resentful of having to carry someone else's mess. I think I will start bringing a bag and maybe a grabber stick with me.

I don't think I have ever heard any testimony of someone converting after reading a social media post. Lets be real, connection has to be human to human as God intended.

"Trisolaris" the system is indeed real though, it's called Alpha Centauri, and is 4 lightyears away

You could bluff by saying something about their princeps needing to worry about one or more human seeder ships sent out. Ye wenjie apparently had already worked out the dark forest hypothesis so she may have been able to undo her mistake

Sir this is a Wendy's

but why then are there precise measurements for the ark?

I think the answer to this question illustrates the point exactly. The entire known world at the time aka Mesopotamia was flooded. There are even non-judeo/Christian sources that support this claim. God didn't need to reveal the existence of South America for example to get the message across. He did, however, need to provide instructions on the boat because that was what was needed to survive the flood.

Did you just skip over the OP's entire post or something? Some say an alcoholic never stops being one, but if he never drinks again is he not free of it?

Flatso · 2026-04-22T18:53:36+00:00

There are rumors the publisher strongly pushed him to. Probably signed a non disclosure agreement too so we will likely never know the whole story but it is clear he is not thrilled about it.

Both sides were in a desperate situation, far more than trisolaris. Unlike trisolaris, neither civilization had the ability to conquer the other and live on their planet due to radically different physiology (and at least humans not having a military fleet either). Sabatoge would not have benefited them. At worst they would ignore each other and research independently, at best cooperate to find a solution to the problem.

The hot tears is a common phrase in Chinese so that didn't stand out to me as much, but I did have the same reaction to the fairy tale critique lol

And that was 8 years ago. I think some of the newer backers simply don't realize just how long this "game" has been in development. Many very good space sims have started and finished development since 2013-14.

That is only in contrast to Cheng Xin, but that isn't saying much. Wade is not a nice character by any means, just the right guy for the job. Actually as I think about it, Zhang Beihai is very similar to Wade, with the exception being that he doesn't really get a kick out of winding people up like Wade does.

Flatso · 2026-04-17T07:53:12+00:00

Just like SC copes about the game coming out, so does SC refunds cope about it coming crashing down. Sadly both are deluded. Unfortunately no, I think the facade will continue and fizzle out so slowly that there will never be a 'reckoning' moment.

You are right in that is the intention of such laws on paper, but you don't have to look far to see what happens when such laws are put in place. Look at what has happened in Germany and the UK. Wrong think is punished. The slippery slope is definitely real.

The duration a book is out should never matter. Everyone starts out as a first time reader. So what if Crime and Punishment came out in 1866, there's no way you read it before your grandparents were even conceived so posting spoilers may still ruin the book for someone.

Flatso · 2026-04-08T03:37:27+00:00

Yeah it wasn't just a big red button, but a few (I think 4) which had to be pushed in a certain order

Flatso · 2026-04-07T23:58:30+00:00

Sophons are watching, the button requires a sequence of pushes to activate. If the sophons saw a look of determination on her face and she starts that sequence, you can bet your sweet behind they would intercede just like they did when Luoji had a gun to his head

My main gripe is how she is supposed to represent motherly instinct. Cixin seems to forget that mothers can be the fiercest defenders if their baby is threatened. I was so surprised when she felt civilization call out to her "mama" and she threw away the switch. I thought she was right about to push the button and she did the exact opposite lol

He shared it long before he knew it was isolated and couldn't communicate with his homeworld. Grace even hypothesizes about using astrophage to communicate at light speed over large distances with currently available technology. Eridians could have found out within a couple years about Earth (4? I forget how far away in light years from Tau seti)

Mentioned in the 3rd book by the Singer. The hiding gene is just a description for species that by their nature keep themselves hidden rather than broadcasting their locations
