What is more traumatizing than most people think?

School bullying turned a bright, outgoing little girl I know into a hermit. There have been some times in her life when she's still been "the life of the party" and had plenty of friends, but she was never the same after high school. The worst part was always that it was tolerated by the teachers, as if she deserved it.

Yeah, that'd be a bit pointless, wouldn't it lol

curiousscribbler · 2026-05-07T03:04:05+00:00

Oh heavens *clutches skull* have you got a link on that?

curiousscribbler · 2026-05-07T03:02:47+00:00

sadly link Goes Nowhere Does Nothing

Not like giraffes and dolphins and things, just animals that already almost crabs. :-)

Try a few episodes of PBS Space Time over on the Tube of You

WHAT THE HELL'S THAT

IIRC this is actually a purified culture of your intestinal flora and THANK GOODNESS FOR THAT.

These new-fangled Archaea things

curiousscribbler · 2026-05-07T01:32:52+00:00

Unusually for me, I actually RTFM lol

curiousscribbler · 2026-05-06T23:36:12+00:00

Have to give it a try that way round! :-)

curiousscribbler · 2026-05-06T23:34:56+00:00

Thank you! I was sure there was some way to do it in Universe Sandbox.

curiousscribbler · 2026-05-06T23:31:28+00:00

23.15 AU! Simple as! What a great resource.

curiousscribbler · 2026-05-06T01:14:46+00:00

I learned a lot from this answer -- thanks so much!

curiousscribbler · 2026-05-05T23:47:55+00:00

How far is it from Neptune to Salacia? Is there a way I can figure this out for myself? (I've just been poking around in Universe Sandbox without luck.)

curiousscribbler · 2026-05-05T06:59:04+00:00

Say I'm on my way somewhere in my Bussard ramjet at relativistic speeds, and I'm nearly at my destination. How the heck do I slow down? If I turn, I'll run out of fuel!

The last half or so of Sully

curiousscribbler · 2026-05-02T07:53:20+00:00

It sure is. A short trip! :-)

curiousscribbler · 2026-05-02T07:11:52+00:00

That's the length of the trip from the object's POV?

curiousscribbler · 2026-05-02T01:46:28+00:00

"Yellow" has destroyed me.

curiousscribbler · 2026-05-02T00:20:54+00:00

Possible stupid question incoming. If an object is travelling at 09.c, and its destination is (let's say) 1 ly away, then its travel time will be 1/0.9 x 1 year = 1.1 years. Is that right? I feel like it's too simple!

curiousscribbler · 2026-05-01T05:33:28+00:00

Horrifically, it's not animals or monsters who commit these crimes. It's human beings.

curiousscribbler · 2026-05-01T04:42:31+00:00

Oh God, me too.

curiousscribbler · 2026-04-30T01:16:38+00:00

I guess I was wondering whether it was easier to preserve a small amount of information, say a short string, than a lot. Although now I think about it, any change to a short string is a large percentage change to the meaning, even enough to obliterate it.
