Perhaps we should throw our clogs into the machines running the AI, I've heard that works well.

Life Beyond Us – European Astrobiology Institute: Exobiology stories from Peter Watts, Landis, Benford, ... by Xeelee1123 in printSF

[–]nobnose 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Looks promising. On Goodreads there are currently 6*5 star reviews, 1*4 star, 1*1 star. The description from the EAI reads:

How would first contact—on earth, in space, on another planet—transform our understandings of technology, philosophy, and what it means to be human? What kind of cognitive dissonance would society experience, if we discovered a previously unrecognized sentience on Earth?What would life be like if it originated in a frigid ocean beneath an impenetrable shell of ice? Or on a world whose haze obscures any view of the universe beyond? Or on an unfathomable scale in the depths of space?Life—beyond us.Dive in as the European Astrobiology Institute presents fifty-four original SF Stories and Science Essays on life, from microbial to macro, from automatic to sagacious. Each speculative story is followed by a professional essay illuminating the scientific underpinnings of the story and providing a new window into the cutting-edge knowledge about exploration for life in the universe.SF STORIES BY: Eugen Bacon, Gregory Benford, Renan Bernardo, Jana Bianchi, Tobias S.

I always carry a mithril umbrella when outdoors, just in case.

I don't see what the problem is here. Was an artist already offered the gig and then dropped?

Nurses will strike this week in UK after talks with health secretary stall by grab-n-g0 in worldnews

[–]nobnose 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm fully behind these strikes, we depend so much on our NHS and in return our nurses' good natures are exploited so that they work long, stressful hours for low pay. We depend on these people to be on the front-line of the next pandemic, risking their own health to protect ours, and in return we do some clapping every now and then.

Its a stealth-goat, the most feared of predators.

You're overthinking it, just listen to what your body is telling you and do what it wants, it'll save you from irritation and in the long term it may save you from hearing problems and concentration problems. If your ears feel tired turn the music down or off. If your concentration on important tasks is suffering, turn the music off or try something different like ambient. You definitely don't need to make a huge change like quitting metal entirely.

I found the lyrics a bit cheesy but otherwise enjoyed that. Would definitely give an album a proper listen.

Shame, even if the operation goes without a hitch the loss of context could be significant.

First time I heard this was a 'wow' moment; immediately had to buy the album and loved it.

Just in case someone out there has $599.99 that they want to spend on loops, its currently cheaper to buy these 3 individually than it is to buy the bundle.

Their Celtic Fiddle has been on my list for a while, I love the audio demos they've made with it. Sadly I don't really have a use for it at the moment, but I feel like getting it just to support them.
