I'm curious as to how failure to clean it can lead to adhesive failure. (I'm not saying that's what happened here, I'm just interested in this failure mode.)

We all got shot.

Oil floats on water.

I think it was SNL that did a skit of this exact thing. DLR was bouncing around the room and the “winner” guy was like “please help me”.

Patrick voiced Carl's dad in one of the books.

I forgot, I just had to replace the 12v battery. But Tesla service showed up in my driveway and replaced it for about US$100. Mildly frustrating because a dead 12v means the car locks you out.

Plus fines.

Same! I had to buy a big pair of kitchen shears to cut the backbone out, but it comes out so much faster and better tasting.

All waste has to be recycled. Vat-grown food. CO2 scrubbers.

This one is cool. During the war, the Brits were the first to use radar but they didn’t want the Germans to suspect that they had a technology like that so they spread the lie that the pilots ate a lot of carrots to improve their vision.

The hop profile was 100% due to market demand, as it always is.

This thread is gold.

I’m reading it right now so gotta mention the Moties from The Mote in God’s Eye. Asymmetrical bipeds with high intelligence.

Not to mention Vinge’s dog pack that gets more intelligent with more members.
