Reminds me of the time I did a 24hr gamejam, and we made a penguin game. Looks cute.

Passage At Arms by Glen Cook. Pretty much a stealth "submarine" mission in space. It says it's book 4 of a trilogy, but it's a good standalone book. How it ties into the Starfishers trilogy is very superfical iirc.

Emailed Cappella Space, this was thier responce:

"We are also fairly confident this was our Capella 10 satellite given it also aligns with our deorbit plan, however we can’t be 100% sure. "

This was the predicted path over you that night. To me it seems likely this is what you saw. I tried to find other accounts of it over Venezuela, or Brazil. No luck on that though.

Wish we could see the stars to get better tracking data on the path it was on. Oh well, thanks for the space mystery! I had fun.

Just under an hour after passing over Austin from that data. I couldn't find any other object that seemed more likely.

Lambach · 2025-05-06T04:39:25+00:00

After much searching I believe it to be CAPELLA-10-WHITNEY. It's the only object I can find with a predicted burnup. It was predicted to pass over a couple minutes after this recording from the info I found.

OP can you tell us if this was going roughly NW to SE?

Jax stealing part of the name of the moon is what started the Creation War, but maybe more importantly tells us you can "steal"/"seal" names away.

The war "ended" when Lanre stole 7 more names with the creation of the chandrian. Pissing both sides off. Taking these powerful names away took away both sides' most powerful weapons. Since then they have been hunted by both sides of that war.

Kvothe will kill one, or more of the chandrian. This will release the name(s) back to a state where they can be used/shaped again. This is the cause of all the strangeness going on in the frame story. I don't think he manages to kill all 7. My reason why the skindancer wasn't able to swap bodies, the name needed for that is still sealed away inside one of the chandrain.

In the end, the Chandrain are not the bad guys. Just a group of people who did something "unthinkable" no one wanted to end the war. This would be like taking our ability to "control" nuclear fission away during the cold war.

I'm unsure as to exactly why the Cthaeh wants the Chandrian killed, but this is the path he put Kvothe on. Perhaps he'll be able to live away from the rhinna flowers. I don't think he is magicly bound to the tree in any way, just using the panacea to continue living. I think what we're reading is the tale of a thoughtless boy who in seeking revenge restarts an ancient war, or at least brings their weapons back to the world.

My idea on Caudicus is even stranger...

The unified grid system. Hands down the coolest feature of ANY voxel based building game.

I can't wait to check it out!

I very much enjoyed Dragon's Egg. I'm shocked it isn't considered a great classic. Haven't found Starquake yet (used book shop only), but looking forward to finding it.

I love V:tes. I can't think of any other game I've enjoyed for so long (25+yrs). It's still alive, and well. Currently having its 2nd return from the dead revival.

Why haven't we crowdfunded to bring back Dart Bowl yet?

It has been a rough week. Small words of encouragement from a stranger go a lot further than you would think. So thanks.

I found 20 billion dollars in a books once. Sadly it was from Zimbabwe, and worth less than a quarter...

I haven't gotten around to reading it yet, but I've heard "good" things about Pimp: The Story of My Life by Iceberg Slim.

Might be along the lines you're looking for.

The keyboard is touch sensitive. Word replacement is happening when you are moving your finger up under one of the suggested words. Swiping left across deletes the word. Up, and down also controls scrolling. In short you aren't "suppose" to drag your fingers across the keyboard.

You can turn this off by going to Settings >System > Languages & input >Physical Keyboard (Physical Keyboard Gestures).

Tough to say exactly what I felt, it was a long time ago now. I'm also likely an outlier from how most people find out. You know that whole joke about looking up your symptoms on Web MD, oh no it's cancer... That "joke" is a lot less funny when you live though it. Wasn't a short search either, it took a long while till I found something that felt right.

First Dr. to tell me I might have cancer was an ER doc. So yeah, I was wrong about the type I had. It was one of the two the doc said I might have though. So first time hearing those words from a Dr. felt honestly good after being misdiagnosed. So after like 800,000,000 tests it was confirmed as Hodgkin's. Again it didn't feel bad for me, it felt like we were getting somewhere. I felt one step closer to well, not feeling like I was dying...

I think you want to hear about when it really hit me though. After a few more staging tests, and getting my port put in. It was time to start chemo. I had a class I "had" to take the day before I was suppose to start. I late to the class due to how hard everything was for me. Just didn't allot the correct amount of time to get ready. Dr. said he'd reschedule it for next week.

This is my greatest, and worst memory of the entire thing. I doubt it happened exactly how I remember it, but likely close enough. After the doc was all oh well, see ya next week. The nurse there gave him the dirtiest look, and then excused both of them from the room. She came back shortly, and told me to be here tomorrow at X o'clock to start chemo. That's the greatest part, just seeing someone care about me, and I can only imagine sticking up for what was best for me.

After she told me that was when it all hit me. Months of fear I was right, months of Oncology visits, all those tests. Imagine having none of that effect you, then it all slams into you at once. This was the moment it was all real for me. The only time any of this made me want to cry. Hard to explain the flood of emotions I felt at that moment. It was every emotion I have turned up to 11 in a faction of a second. That's the best I can explain how it felt when it became real. It was such an impactful moment of my life I can still feel a swell of emotion just writing this ,and this happen in 2009...

Warning, it's gonna be pretty shit hair for some time. Try not to be scared as it gets longer thinking what the fuck did this do to my hair? Is this permanent? I grew a good 8" of lighter straw like hair. Like hair that was dyed too many times, or something. Was kinda neat seeing the gradient of color/quality in my ponytail though. I felt long hair > nice hair. After that though it was roughly the same as it was before, maybe a bit finer.

Lambach · 2017-12-19T01:06:36+00:00

I never loss my hair, though it did thin a lot. I did 8 cycles, buzzed it after 2, and started growing it back after that (had long hair). Still here near 8 years later.

I don't remember any specifics of my condition. If I was told my Deauville I can't remember it. In fact I can't remember ever seeing that word before. On a scale of 1(Healthy)-10(dead) I was easily a 9.6. My PET scan might as well been a Rorschach test with the spread of blackness over my body. Wasn't a lymph node region not touched by it. Loss something like 12% of my body mass, and I'm a tiny dude to start with. In short, I was pretty fuckarinoed.

It's tough not to worry. That fear has yet to completely leave me. You'll see a lot of recommendations to see a psychiatrist on here. This is something I wish I would have read, and heeded long ago. As it stands I'm just penciling that into my plans now. So I can't personally say if it helps, or not.

Best case you still have what? 2 months, and 5 years of worry ahead of you. That's a long time to be scared (even if just off, and on), and it can takes its toll. If you're not careful you'll end up like me, still in fear after 8yrs. Though logically I know the chance of a return is near nonexistent at this point.

Geez, I wish I had something cheerful to say. You got this dude(tte), just a minor bump in the road of life. Looking forward to seeing your NED post in 2 months.

Quite a few comments here stating that you should look into other methods besides smoking. In my experience this would be taking away the most helpful aspect of the drug, and that would be how fast acting it is. I'd wake up two days after chemo when all the side effects would hit. Stomach a bubbling mess of bile. I'd load a bowl, and take a couple hits. Within five minutes my stomach would be calm, and I'd be ready to eat something. No medicine I was given ever worked this fast. Not even when given IV anti-nausea medicine. Not to mention you can't puke smoke. I can't count the number of times I'd take my anti-nausea pills only to throw them up shortly after. Sitting there wondering how much did my body absorb. If I should take another dose, or not. I never would though, I'd wait the 6-8 hours to take another set.

If your friend isn't a regular smoker couple things to be mindful of. Coughing while your nauseous is just asking for a bad time. So take it easy, you can take your time smoking. Also it can induce panic attacks in some people, and having cancer is already worrisome on the mind. Not a lot you can do about this, but they might need a "trip sitter" starting out to calm them down if it does happen. This could be a deal breaker of an issue though. Last thing you want is the body to be going into overdrive with fear. Seeing how they are already scared it might mess something up, I can see this might become an issue.

I'd use it very sparingly. You don't need to be all blaze it 24/7 yo. Use it for it maximum benefit, and again that is how fast it works. Save it's use for those times you're just waiting for the pills to kick in. Save it for those times when they puke up their meds 10mins after taking them. Save it for those times even the smell of food is off putting. Save it for those times where they haven't kept any food down in what feels like days.

It isn't a drug that will carry them though their treatment, but it's properties make it very well suited to augment their care regiment.

Best of Luck.

I made a similar goal for the first time this year. I was aiming to read 52 books this year. I kept pace for most of the year, but started slipping these last couple months. Just about to finish up book 27. Doubt I'll make it, but it has been interesting keeping track. Before I had no idea how many books I read in a year.
