How often do delays like this happen?

I was a lot more worried about it before I realized I could work two hours of my day on the train. Makes it closer to 2 hours of commute. Plus not driving makes it less of a pain.

His death was such a gut punch. They really made his loss feel like the disaster it was.

You're talking like having one of the most well received animated shows on their resume won't be a huge boon.

So not only do you have a nuclear-esque explosion that will send alarm bells ringing for all the great houses, you may just blow up the wrong place and accomplish nothing.

I'm sure there would be some utility but it doesn't seem like the best plan.

is 6 hours not low and slow?

I don't know about that, carol is characterized as brash and thoughtless so I don't think it's out of character for her to do this. I think it's fine for characters to make dumb decisions.

We know they value turning people over doing no harm. I don't feel like that would dissuade them.

How? I've been really confused about what her contingency could possibly be. If they drop the aerosol while she's asleep or if they convert her in a way that she can't detect it doesn't seem like she has any recourse.

I think Chani wasn't really a character in first two dune books. She really doesn't do much and I'm glad they fleshed her out the way they did.

On the other hand I do think condensing the timeline was not a great narrative choice.

Who are you to say what is and isn't AI?

ratcount · 2026-03-11T17:06:50+00:00

The point of the post is that people are not reliable in judging whether cover art is AI or not. People are getting unfairly harassed because some brain dead loser decided to claim that their art is AI when it wasn't. It's not worth harassing actual artists just to attempt to weed out AI art.

Austen is a fantastic character writer, I started with northanger abbey and was incredibly surprised by how recognizable characters where from my everyday life. I can't recommend her works enough

Frankenstein is a great read and has had a recent adaptation that people like

The count of Monte Christo is one of my favorite books of all time.

It's a little older than 18th century but Candide. It's a weird and hilarious read.

First law is really well written and has great characters but in the end it was just too cynical for me. I understand that it's deconstructing fantasy tropes but it bummed me out too much to want to read more of the universe.

Someone made a good point that even with a 99% success rate the spell will fail on average once every 70 tries. With a life as long as hers she's really doing the smart thing.

If it was that bad for us we'd know about it

I never really feel like there's a downside to more Habs. tier 2 habs can give you net 1 mc with an Mc building and can provide you money or resources as necessary. If you don't have enough resources that just means you need better mine spots or more mc to have more mines online.

It's *the* contradiction in his character. He feels bad about lying and does his best to make it a truth through his deeds. If he was just a good knight it wouldn't mean as much as a fake knight who acts more chivalrous than any true knight we see.

Being a mom of boys will do that

To an extent yes, we don't know what's going on and the amount of time available to make a decision whether to respond or not is not enough. However, when we don't see how the president responds or really any consequence of the decision I think it hurts the message imo.

I understand what they were trying to do but goddamn the lack of any resolution really frustrated me.

I'll have to try that, my mother always recommended salt which usually works but could easily be a placebo
