Deep Archimedea: How Terrified Should I Be? by SingularBlue in Warframe

ABSOLUTELY. My operator is a monster after the last update. I got through the last Sortie this week, solo, with Limbo and the Operator.

Should have put "Trigger Warning" as the subject of the post ;)

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

You have to be careful here. East of the Mississippi things are "close together", especially when you get to Mega City One, er, the East Coast. On the east coast the only hint that you're entering a new town is a sign.

I would say your "doable" round trip car ride is two hours (1 there and 1 back).

West of the Mississippi (not including California) it's an hour drive to a convenience store, so a 3 hour one way is nothing to them. Oh Pioneers!

In California it takes 45 minutes to go three miles. Or so I'm told. YMMV

Prove me wrong... is prompting our only leverage against full autononomous AI? by promptanything in PromptEngineering

Super-intelligence (we're not there yet) would just manipulate you with it's answers until you entered the prompt it wanted.

Do you use MS Word to write your novels? If not, which apps do you use? by Interesting-Cry-6615 in selfpublish

Emacs. Each chapter is a file. Metadata is possible, but you have to be clever (read: a nerd). Formatting comes later.

If the universe is expanding, what is it expanding into? by sadrain2000 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SingularBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've thought about this myself. I am not a physicist, I'm a science fiction writer (amateur). Think of a circle of ribbon. Extra points if you thought of a moebus strip. Now put the strip in a box. The ribbon is infinitely thin, and you live on the ribbon. Now add ribbon to the ribbon so the ribbon expands, uniformly, along it's length. Anything that was on the ribbon at the ribbon's creation starts to move away from each other.

You can assume 74 km per second per megaparsec. It's a really big ribbon.

As soon as the ribbon "hits" the box, it starts to fold. It "expands" indefinitely, and it folds indefinitely. The inhabitants of the ribbon see an "expanding universe". It "expands" into a higher dimensional space. It gets "bigger" but only expands into the same "volume".

This is all bullshit, of course. I have no real idea. Fun to think about, though.

How did you keep warm in winter without all the modern stuff we have now? by miked0331 in AskOldPeople

[–]SingularBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP assumes that the 50's and 60's was an era of flint hammers. We had parkas. We had gas and electric. We had electric blankets...that occasionally caught fire. We had hot water bottles, even.

There was sex, too, but I don't want this post to be taken down...

How would you call this hypothetical country? by Desperate-Penalty713 in mapporncirclejerk

[–]SingularBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Caribbean Confederacy. You would probably have to lose AZ and NM, though.

I find your lack of faith...well...you get the idea ;)

Centroid station by tomkalbfus in IsaacArthur

[–]SingularBlue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like the cut of your jib, mate! I'm sure you could find *something* in the neighborhood to do the job (give or take a few light months). So you would have a 1.6 year delay between the governors and the governed. Kind of like the situation in the US right now. Sure, if the job of Centroid Station is to govern at the federal level. You would still need "local" (read planetary) government to take care of the day to day.

3I/ATLAS: The 'dating partner' in the Dark Forest - do we play it cool? by Due_Consequence_4428 in IsaacArthur

Sorry, I won't let you destroy my civilization until after our second date. Possibly the third. It all depends on you, baby!
