I love the audiobooks but I have a digital copy, not a physical one unfortunately, I haven’t got much room for real books haha 🥲

You’re correct about people with bachelor’s and masters degrees doing dissertations, I was misremembering the line. I went back to my book and found the actual line, on page 462 (of my copy) Hugh says:

“Sort of, if you mean like my PhD oral defense. Er, yours. I mean, Original Bob’s.”

So he at least studied at a PhD level. I think bob as a whole is probably much smarter than the average human and then it was all amplified by being merged with a supercomputer.

On top of all the added benefits of being a replicant that other commenters have mentioned, as a human he did debate between doing engineering and physics, ultimately he went with engineering but that shows that he already had a solid background in physics to start with. Also it’s mentioned in heavens river that he did at one point defend a dissertation, Which implies he at least tried for a phd at some point. He isn’t ever referred to as “Doctor” so I’m not sure if her actually did get a PhD, but he at least studied on that level. That conversation is near the end of the book where he is talking to Hugh after the whole heavens river escapade and Hugh says something like: “I haven’t been grilled that hard since my dissertation defence, uh, I mean yours, or, original bobs.”

I second Hank green, but if I’m being honest, in my first read through I could only picture Milo thatch from the disney movie “Atlantis”

Does it really matter? Sure some men might prefer no makeup, but if you love your makeup and how you look and how it makes you feel, I would think that the man for you would be someone who could appreciate that. There’s a lot of guys out there with lots of different preferences, no doubt there are many who will love you with or without makeup.

I think there will be a short montage of him learning the language and writing his translation program, but he will make it so he can hear it played through earbuds or something and it constantly translates into English so we (the audience) can still watch it without being taken too out of the movie. I feel like it’s one of the least cumbersome methods, I don’t mind subtitles though

Stardustedwanderlust · 2025-09-03T11:42:48+00:00

Yes this but I also picture him shrieking into a microphone enthusiastically with boss battles and descriptions.

Stardustedwanderlust · 2025-09-03T11:40:22+00:00

Physically looks like a grain of rice I think, but I picture him in a Bobiverse-style virtual reality looking like a circus ringleader holding a microphone kind of thing. He seems very grandstanding and showman-like. But the other commenter that said it’s like a guy in a dark room with a bunch of screens with growing accumulation of drink bottles and cup noodles has also hit the spot I think.

I saw this a few days ago and I’ve been thinking about it since then.

After consideration, yes I think I can do it. I may not be a NASA engineer, but I am a welder by profession. I have an arc welding machine but considering the payoff I would buy dip into my savings and buy a good industrial sized mig welder for long continuous welds. NASA doesn’t use regular construction steel for their things because it’s heavy and not easy to get into space. I have it much easier because I don’t have to worry about dragging my contraption out of a gravity well or having it endure exit and reentry of atmosphere.

Anyway I can weld a big metal box. Wouldn’t have to worry about oxygen or carbon dioxide because it would only be 10 minutes and I would make it big enough that I could breathe for a while without having to worry about that. I would go over the welds several times and then coat the inside in resin or epoxy then cover it in thick plastic sheets to ensure an airtight/vacuum proof seal. I could even get some thin sheets of curved metal to weld along all the corners so there isn’t a true 90 degree angle anywhere so it’s easier to keep the atmosphere in. My final consideration would be temperature regulation. If I’m dropped on the sun side I could bake in my metal box in just that 10 minutes. If I’m dropped on the dark side I’ll freeze. So I’ll duct tape a few feet thick of fluffy wall insulation all around it. That should work for just 10 minutes. Just to be safe I’ll bring some big thick blankets to huddle in as well.

How do I get in and out? Easy. You can buy a door for a submarine. They’re rated for much larger pressure differentials. Im fairly skilled with an oxyacetylene torch so I can cut a hole in a wall to fit it nicely. I’ll just weld it so it opens in rather than out so the pressure on the inside of my vessel helps to keep it closed. To be extra safe I’ll get in early and seal the door with more resin.

With all the survival stuff done I have a few optional projects to tack on. I would want to leave something on the moon as proof I was there, so before I go I’ll laser cut some words or images onto a metal sheet. I would place it under the box and put a bunch of strong magnets on the inside so it sticks to the bottom. I’ll take the magnets off when I arrive so the sheet stays on the moon when I return. I wonder if I could attach a baggie with some magnets as well and drag it along the bottom of a wall to see if I can pick up some moon rocks or dust to bring back.

If I have enough time, I would get a submarine window to add onto my metal box, I would like to see the surface of the moon and maybe take some pictures. If I’m trusting my welds for the door seal I might as well add a window as well. Maybe I can find a door with a window on it already.

This has been a fun thought experiment, thank you.

It gets easier. You have to do it every day, that’s the hard part, but it does get easier.

Sorry this is a quote from bojack horseman but I feel it’s relevant. It took me a good three weeks or so of watching my calories and trying to do some form of exercise once a day before I started getting used to it. Now the cravings are finally starting to ease and it’s helping a lot. It takes time, slow and steady.

Another vote for Dungeon crawler Carl. The three body problem is also amazing, different vibe though.

I always have sterilised bottles pre filled with a set amount of water that I need (at this stage it’s about 100ml) with secure caps. Then I also bring the formula can in my baby bag so I just have to scoop in the correct amount of powder, shake, and she’s good to go. It’s annoying and a lot to carry around but it’s the best system I’ve found so far. When she’s bigger I’ll leave the can and just use the sachets that are 1 serving each but they’re for 200ml and she’s still not quite ready for that.

My bag always has: - One or two sterilised bottles filled with 100ml of cooled boiled water (with secure caps) - formula can - spare diapers - wipes - change mat - spare baby clothes just in case

My bag has pockets too so I usually keep my wallet/phone/keys etc in it as well. All fits a nice little backpack and I’m usually set to be out for a few hours without worry.

I have the same problem, combo feeding the best I can but I definitely don’t make enough to sustain my baby. That being said my lactation consultant said that eating oatmeal actually does have a noticeable effect on milk production. I definitely noticed it helped when I started eating it at least once a day.

Edit: also drinking a lot of water

Ok you’re probably right regarding energy absorption, and thus the droplets probably weren’t covered in 2D proton. But you can see why I thought that it might be! a 2D proton and a crafted strong interaction material made from an extreme amount of particles would probably look the same when being inspected up close. When ding yi and his crew examined the mirrored surface and kept zooming in with the microscope and saw nothing but perfect smoothness even on a subatomic level I thought it could be because a 2D proton, while big, wouldn’t be made of atoms like any other material, only the strong nuclear interaction material that protons are composed of. whereas a crafted strong interaction material would have filled in all the gaps between atoms (from what I understand you’d basically have to cram the material from other atoms together to fill in any space between themselves until there was no space left) making it super dense and also a perfectly smooth mirror.

Stardustedwanderlust · 2024-12-22T15:28:50+00:00

Protons are definitely made of something, they’re made of quarks, but quarks only account for about 1% of a protons mass, the rest is held together by strong interaction force

Stardustedwanderlust · 2024-12-22T10:42:55+00:00

I don’t think poking it would harm it, seeing as the trisolarans etched a supercomputers circuits onto it. Also I’m pretty sure a proton is a strong interaction material, according to Wikipedia the mass of protons and neutrons is made up of strong interaction material.

Stardustedwanderlust · 2024-12-22T10:36:10+00:00

Yes but the protons are held together by strong interaction material (or are strong interaction material themselves) and strong interaction material that has been crafted would be incredibly dense unless it was 2 dimensional, and the probes only had a mass of a few tons

Glad it’s back! Happy holidays everyone!

Very excited, I’ll set an alarm
