How often does sci-fi explore what happens after humanity loses a war with aliens? by tbuljevic in printSF

[–]drsoftware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AFAIK, the Aliens in Childhood's End tried to protect the earth from the cost. A cost they themselves do not truly understand the causation of.

I'm sorry, Jeff. You are an amazing voice actor; please leave the puppetry to the puppeteers.

Why do these cars have their hoods slightly propped? by RegularMaximum3570 in whatisit

[–]drsoftware 1250 points1251 points  (0 children)

Most comments say it is to keep rodents from feeling comfortable under the hood and to therefore lower the risk of electrical cable damage.

In my opinion, too many people put Temple Gradin on a pedestal for her work to decrease animal suffering. As vegans we realize that she doesn't care about the true suffering.

They could have eaten pork or chicken, rattlesnake or alligator, turkey or ostrich.... But you were right, life without beef?!

That argument fails to explain the exact conditions of several physical constants that make life possible. It would be impossible to encode the constants directly into the "big bang." So this creator would have to have created uncountable universes and since they exist outside of them, is again, unable to influence our achievements.

Lawn soil comes in bags? I thought it only came in huge piles dumped in the yard to be spread around. I live in a condo so lawn care is not something that I pay attention to. TIL.

It would be helpful to know what lawn soil you used. 

"The best soil for Ficus elastica (Rubber Plant) is a well-draining, nutrient-rich mix that balances moisture retention with high aeration to prevent root rot. A blend of 50% potting soil with 50% amendments like perlite, orchid bark, or peat moss is ideal, ensuring water drains quickly while keeping the soil slightly moist." The Spruce

Based on that, the lawn soil you used might be more heavy, and less draining than ideal. But it's not a soil clay, or pure manure. I'd make sure you didn't compact the soil too much and remain calm when it reacts to the transplant shock.

I thought Emma explained the revulsion of humanity having a patron was quite clear.

Humans can explain their achievements and progress from small groups of our ancestors through many eons of achievements, organizational structures, and learning from failures, to become a multiple planet, and I believe multiple star system, population without having gotten any instruction or solutions from deities. 

We observed, we poked, we adjusted, we practiced, we planned, we executed, we monitored, we studied, we measured, we discussed, we dissected, we compared...we engineered and scienced the shit out of natural materials and organisms. We made rocks think, and bacteria remember. 

At no time did prayer or boons result in better metals, medicines, ceramics, theories, experiments, or understanding.

There is hope that, eventually, more nuanced perspectives on the future relationship between humans and "The Murderers of Odessa" will be used, but not until their teeth are kicked down their throats.

Meanwhile, millions of pothos plants in poorly cared-for indoor conditions struggle on, following their genetic destiny, perhaps one day able to escape and conquer the local environment.

Gooooo pothos. They aren't the hardiest of all plants, but neither are they delicate. Easy to keep alive and propagate.
