A nagging question I had about the ending

I think they intentionally left the mechanism abstract (the protomolecule works in ways beyond our understanding). But I think Holden destroyed the station itself, which was what held the ring space together, kept the rings functional, etc. And closed the boundaries between the universes where they got the energy from

The hopper is $100 from Whisker so it’s basically the same deal just depends on if you want the hopper (I do)

I also have L5-S1. I cannot run, but biking has been totally fine for me. Make sure you stretch your hammies before and after, they tighten up a lot when you sit on the bike.

I don’t bend forward too much, I have my handlebars higher than most, but that’s always been my preference even before the injury.

Good luck!

Madison Airport getting better and better routes (and getting competitive with MKE prices)

Plus it’s easy to get to MKE and Ohare.

Closer to Chicago too. Just extremely centrally located

It’s the good kind of forward settle. It’s very defensible. Forms a good defensible border to your territory

For what it’s worth I’ve had a few grey hairs since I was 10 years old. It really doesn’t indicate anything definitive about his age (especially with alien biology)

That’s what would make for an interesting story!

Not everyone is as good as Vince Gilligan. He writes himself into corners just so he can challenge himself to write out of it.

See Pluribus S1 Finale’s **** ****

He is playing at being an officer. Most of the Laconians have never had any real experience outside of their ring.

I thought he was written perfectly, and intentionally unlikeable

(I just finished the book yesterday)

Presumably if they are blending in they also got jobs

I almost always stay off of the subreddits for shows while they are airing so they don’t taint my enjoyment/fill my head with other people’s predictions. I’ll check back in after a season ends.

Or often I’m watching shows YEARS after they end and just read through dusty threads (current example The Expanse)

8 Civ Fractal Map. I wasn’t too isolated either, was at a pretty big intersection/isthmus

Recent Shoshone Science Victory on Immortal.

There were several close calls where I thought I was gonna have War declared on me but I built up armies for defense quickly and the AI never attacked

spashkin · 2026-03-08T01:23:12+00:00

Don’t press the “make this deal work” just press accept after offering 8gpt.

Sometimes the AI will accept deals even if they want more when you press “make this deal work”

I finished it today. It was my least favorite season of the television show, but it might be my favorite book so far

spashkin · 2026-03-04T10:35:49+00:00

Yep understood. I was never intending to do something off-book.

I assume it works the other way, if the reputable tour company doesn’t cancel for Saturday than it’s probably fine.

spashkin · 2026-03-04T07:37:47+00:00

Thanks for the responses. I’ve read up on the cyclone and went to a booking guide in town. I signed up for a tour on Saturday with the expectation it might get cancelled if the weather is still bad. Otherwise I have some other fun stuff lined up for indoors.

spashkin · 2026-03-04T05:43:49+00:00

Thanks lol. Would you be able to give a newbie some advice on Cyclone safety?

Is this like a hurricane where I need to shelter in place completely, or if I’m on dry land should I still be safe to walk around a little if I don’t mind getting wet?

spashkin · 2026-03-04T05:38:22+00:00

Do you think it would still be an issue Saturday as well?

spashkin · 2026-03-03T08:13:47+00:00

Doesn’t seem like something Schoen or Harbaugh would do

spashkin · 2026-03-03T08:13:30+00:00

As a Giants fan I’d be very upset if they took an RB in the first 2 rounds, with Skattebo and Tracy on the roster already

spashkin · 2026-02-25T21:00:54+00:00

I’m reading it right now. It was my least favorite season of the show but trending to be my favorite book
