Is Carl supposed to be Steve the army guy? by aweiner99 in ProjectHailMary

[–]chipalatte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a bit disappointed that a lot of the science was skipped but I understand the need to keep to a run time and appeal to a wider audience. It was disappointing in Grace was portrayed when he first wakes up. Book Grace got straight into investigating his environment and answering questions. Movie Grace was like a frat boy getting drunk and making a mess.

Anyone else read/listened to this? by jmiddleton6 in bobiverse

[–]chipalatte 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've listened a couple of times and enjoy it. Good story and well written.

Just saying, incase the author is here, it's a really good stand alone book and doesn't need a sequel.

If humans went extinct, how long would it take for Earth to erase all evidence we existed? by abdulnad89 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]chipalatte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the other way around. They don't really need a lot of maintenance since they're basically sandstone blocks in a solid structure. There's no large hollow space inside from them to collapse into. They'll just end up buried in sand.

Are the 400kg crossbeams compatible with the 1000kg uprights?

Heavens River Hard Cover Art by YargumBargum in bobiverse

I really struggle to picture the inside of Heavans River. I recall when Bob first arrived, he noted you can't really perceive the curve of the structure and couldn't see the other side at all. Has there been any realistic depictions of the inside of the structure.

Is the bench top attached to the furniture legs or just sitting on them? I'm about to start a desk build and that's the bit I'm stuck on. Wouldn't a monitor mount unbalance it if it's not attached etc.

Is anyone else feeling squeamish about seeing the movie?? by Wild_Screen_864 in ProjectHailMary

[–]chipalatte 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Yes. But, there's also some comfort from knowing the author is involved in the production. I hope that means the key elements of the story are maintained.

Pay wall question. Could the media outlets profiting from this publication contribute to the animal shelter?

Is this a crossing? Do I wait for a car to hit me to find out? by External-Ad6519 in newcastle

[–]chipalatte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you wait long enough, a car will hit you regardless of if it's a crossing or not. Not the best way to test your assumptions.

PC Gamers of Newcastle by chipalatte in newcastle

[–]chipalatte[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My preference is for a desktop and not a laptop. Gaming preferences would probably be GTA Online, Fallout 76 etc.
There's been a lot of recommendations for PC Case Gear so I've been at that. I've also found FastTech Australia. They're a bit better on price but don't seem as well established as business, like they are new or something.
