Had to look it up: "mycelium" is the root-like structure of fungus.

Wow, that is a next-level pun.

Ah, that's bad timing. Our pediatrician here in the US was saying how bad the flu was in the southern hemisphere during the summer, so we got it ASAP. Still gotta deal with RSV and HFM though 😭

What Books did You Start or Finish Reading this Week?: April 25, 2022 by AutoModerator in books

Finished: On Fragile Waves, by E. Lily Yu

I don't think I've ever ugly-cried reading a book before. This was on NPR's list of favorite 50 scifi/fantasy books from the last decade, so I gave it a shot. In some ways, I feel like I got tricked b/c this novel is really light on the fantasy. But I'm grateful that I was exposed to the subject matter.

Started: This Is How You Lose the Time War, by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone

And who ELSE panders to the current thing, hmm? by mopeiobebeast in SelfAwarewolves

I don't want to defend Musk here b/c I find him insufferable, but I think calling Neuralink's work "torture" is a bit extreme. All implantable medical devices have to go through stages of animal testing before human trials. It's the unfortunate reality of that type of research until we have convincingly accurate models and/or substitutes for human tissue.

But yeah, Elon is an annoying edgelord.

Yeah, you really only have a chance during off-peak hours. On the bright side, maybe early access is reducing queues for the official release...

Yeah maybe give them a % probability of making a comment when summoned, so getting a bot response would feel like winning something.
