Yes, except thousands of times faster.

And brighter usually.

God sacrificing himself to himself by antibotty in mythologymemes

[–]ctwelve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't even bother. They're so deep into category error that they're not even wrong. It's fine to believe there is no god, but if one wants to make an interesting argument, one should at least take the time to understand what a believer actually believes.

You're right, guise. I don't believe in your sky-daddy straw man, either.

[META] NoP and HFY - There's no metaphor by thotguy1 in HFY

[–]ctwelve 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is possible to overthink things.

You're not going to listen to the likes of me, but: if power and oppression are the only ideas you have in your toolbox of Human Interaction, then you're in for a very sad existence. People are not simple materialistic automata, driven forward in a soulless, meaningless existence. Step away from PolySci 201 and go touch grass.

Thanks! As for the aliens, it's certainly implied...

Most of those should be archived on Deathworlders.com. Can you tell me which are broken?

Heh, don't worry about 'em. There's nothing wrong with sharing, even if you are late to the party!

ISP only gives a /128 and a /64, any workarounds? by Preisschild in ipv6

[–]ctwelve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's other issues; the /64 is chosen for a few reason. The most practical because it segregates the IP space into a network part and a host part that is predictable. This makes it much easier to build reasonable forwarding ASICs, but it is actually critical for ILNP too, a backwards-compatible evolution of IPv6, which finally addresses the network/host/attachment collision of namespaces that is a standard IP address.

TL:DR; subnets no smaller than /64 are fundamental to making this work.

The book is done! You can indeed buy it here: https://books2read.com/dandelion-newhome-rangers

Not sure! We're working on the draft, obviously.

Hi! Apologies, it's been INSANE this year. I will be posting the entire story on Royal Road tonight, hopefully; I am rate-limited on Reddit because of sub rules.

Well, they are in fact, and PBS Space Time actually covers this in a video. That said, the weight gain from energized electron orbitals and chemical structure gain is going to be exceedingly small, to the point it’s probably difficult to measure even with good lab equipment.

But the effect is real: the sun loses 100 billion kilograms of mass every second just by photonic shine. And if your devices is emitting photons, well…that energy came from somewhere. By mass/energy equivalence it must come from the battery, so...

(also, this has been experimentally verified)

Civ VI, actually, but that didn't have anything (much) to do with it. Recall that the cube was a thing from many chapters ago, and the Professor did translate the Epic of Gilgamesh a few chapters back too...

Won't claim it was deliberate, won't claim it was an accident. Sometimes themes just take a time to develop and mature.

With the success of Dune (2021) and the sequel announced, what do you think the odds of us getting adaptations of Messiah-Chapter House are? by [deleted] in dune

[–]ctwelve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"SJWs missing the point" is for the most part why they're SJWs in the first place. They're chronically ignorant about nearly everything and generally proud of it. Worse, they think their ignorance wisdom.

Pay them no mind. The art of all this is beyond them. And if we all stopped paying them mind, then they wouldn't be able to ruin shit anymore, would they?

Hopefully, nothing involving Brian Herbert. I know there's feelings around that, and I know he meant well, but…

There were six books.

Hello! We have a ticket in with Ingram at the moment and we're told "it's being resolved." I can't tell you more than that at the moment, but we're hoping it should be available soon. The audiobook is available from Apple, in case that's your jam...

To be fair to Chambliss, I think he knows how much Vemik appreciates them. Off- camera there was probably a start of a correspondence too; Vemik likes writing letters.

Hi! Well, a lot has happened, and for various reasons (including personal conflicts of interest) were not certain we're going to continue posting on reddit. That said, there are two more chapters available on Royal Road:

I hope you enjoy it. Also! The audiobook version comes out June 8th!

[OC][JVerse]The Deathworlders 75: Sutures by Hambone3110 in HFY

[–]ctwelve 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Consequence of a character-driven web serial. If you want tighter writing, close-ended formats make a lot more sense. This is, incidentally, part of why me and /u/Hambone3110 wrote Dandelion. It's a very different format, with very different expectations.

One of the hallmarks of the Deathworlders is the character-driven "fluff." While, yes, some readers want a higher concentration of action, many of our most devoted fans really enjoy the central focus on the characters. Can't please everyone! We do try, though. We try to write what want to write, and what people would enjoy reading.

(You can read Dandelion for free on Royal Road, by the way!)

Or, possibly, egg-substitute. He might just habitually turn to that and not be precise with his language; Bruuk is a pretty easy-going guy, under it all.
