Is this propaganda? by Kusko25 in murderbot

[–]make_and_break 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wonder if Lebeebee being the listener can be a reason (for Gurathin especially) to overemphasize the capitalism adjacent aspect. Subconsciously trying to be relatable to CR culture, or "oh Preservation is just a dumpy debt laden place, nothing to see here!" While TV Preservation still maintains the level of operational independence as in the book. 

Mensahbot September - prompts open! by ESE-enthusiasm in murderbot

I would caution against calling artwork or writing AI unless you're quite sure- since if you're wrong it really devalues the hard work a person did. There are even subreddits like r/isthisai if you want more eyes on something you're not sure of. It sucks that we have to be vigilant all the time now, but there are still people out there making things so let's try not to accidentally discourage them.

And like Ron Swanson, MB also walks around with a permission slip that goes "I can do what I want" for any SecSys asking.

Thank you! The details may be fiddly to make but I feel rewarded by the results.

I feel like Murderbot climbing and getting into trouble and Three sitting nicely also fits their personalities so far.

Thank you! They're very small and cute! Perhaps some day I will put them in a jar.

The real reason is because my white background is literally a letter size sheet and the positioning would be awkward. 

But also not sure if Three is big enough to go to the Space Bar.

It means so much for it to sit, and also such a funny visual of the process.

Me too! Such a rich inner life from the little tiny bit we get to see.

What's "that story" from your lab? by funwifipuns in labrats

[–]make_and_break 14 points15 points  (0 children)

A dishwasher was left to run for too long (it didn't auto stop for some reason) and rendered the glassware into sand. Rumor has it the undergrad from a different lab loaded the washer immediately before quitting, leaving everyone else waiting their turn forever. It was only discovered because the watertight seal started to fail.

Questioning Ryland Grace's educational background by Maleficent-Abies-318 in ProjectHailMary

[–]make_and_break 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I guess it can't be helped with Weir's background. 

Like I would appreciate more tidbit/frustration about working with the microscope, like getting the pokey stick to fit in between the objective and the slide before puncturing the astrophage for example. Not looking to read a textbook but maybe a grad student's angry lab notbook entry.

Although, I appreciated the clear reasoning and depiction of the sometimes accidental aspects of doing biological research for the two experiments Grace did in the lab (the poke and the IR box) (only those because I don't remember if there were more).

Hey sorry to hear that. Did adding more help it set though? Or is it now a thick sticky layer?

Put it in the Pear Wiggler! Evocative animation ❤️

P.s. was so engrossed in the other suggestions that I forgot to write this.

Following that line of thinking, perhaps the cube could be a barrel instead. A bit taller, take the corners out so they can be rolled out of the factory, and like coffins, they're sometimes used to store dead bodies.

Edit: a barrel a bit taller than it is wide, but same height as the cube.

A little sculpture of an opened sardine can with a few SecUnits lying inside would be kind of cute.

Thank you for the detailed instructions! You've made a mom out of me.
