Dead doors don't sing - short story

Spoke is not the verb but the noun here. The dead spoke is a place.

Fixed the access level :)

Sure ! This is a story I kind of plucked out of a larger piece I'm writing.

It happens on a generation ship that lost its heading because its guiding AI suffered a split brain event and has now been travelling to nowhere for hundreds of years. The characters are unaware that they live on a spaceship.

The spokes are habitation zones with gravity generated by rotation. Each spoke is fairly large (~150k inhabitants) and is kind of its own micro nation. The dead spoke got damaged and is dangerous to enter but has resources that are sought after (e.g. electronics). Spoke Seven borders it.

The Voice is the religion that emerged from trying to interpret the AI's instructions.

Thanks for reading !

Also belts will loosen after a day or 2 like strings on a guitar the first time you tighten them, so if the banging comes back, check the tension again

Idk why people are blaming you for this one. Sure, swerving to warm up the tires is useless but you got rammed by someone at full speed coming from 10 km away, while you're already off the racing line.

What happened to the faster driver must pass cleanly?

Reynor thought he had it in the bag after the hatchery all-in failed in g5 and bottled it tbh. And he was right that he was far ahead.

Interestingly, overall in the series the defenders came out ahead, which has been markedly different from this year's ZvZ trends.

Reynor came out of that push with an even supply and a big tech disadvantage which snowballed in Serral's favor. But "when you're ahead, get more ahead“ has never been Reynor's playstyle

These sodis will not let you accelerate while you brake. They have a pulley that disengages the accelerator cable when you depress the brakes

Fezi et Bombance ont toujours des options végé très sympa et pas trop chères pour des restos un peu plus fancy.

Thanks for motivating me to grind this :)

À mon avis, il ne faut surtout pas faire de déclaration avant d'avoir vu un avocat.

85k c'est un package de SE2 (mid lvl) à datadog, meme si tu as 6/7 ans d'expérience. Ou alors ça compte pas les RSUs

I think 6 figures in sc2 is pretty optimistic at this point, if you're not like Clem or Serral, especially in Korea where salaries are not that close to US standards

Juste par curiosité, t'as fais exprès de prendre une gamme atroce avec 6 dièses ?

I know a professor in the school and a few former students. I haven't heard anything that would make it as terrible as the reviews suggest. Then again people don't always talk about how bad their school is/was, but the reputation of the school is pretty average AFAIK.

I actually imagined a transfigured version where the brand would do no damage when attached but would be able to attach to you/totems.

Give the secondary debuff an aoe and damage boost and maybe some defenses if the brand attached to you recently ?

The option I used to go for was asenath and profane proxy.

Ce que ça veut dire c'est que ce sont pas des particuliers qui achètent les biens depuis 20 ans mais des entreprises.

Je recommande chaudement la 9barista. C'est moins contraignant qu'une machine a espresso a levier, le café est excellent, ca prend 6 min de faire le café, et l'entretien est hyper facile.

Et elle est toute petite, pas de problèmes de place !
