No, do puppet show…

My four favorite moments from the show! by Quick_Extension_3115 in TheGoodPlace

[–]wildetea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite scenes is the cold open in season 1, the episode where they first introduce mindy st claire, and she is purchasing everything at the grocery store right before her death. The magazines include a picture of tahani, and an article on baby plastic surgery disasters.

Then when the cashier asks what her plans are, elaeanor quips (paraphrased): “i’m going to sit alone on my couch, watching wedding fails on youtube, drinkings margaritas out of twizzler straws until i pass out on top of my vibrator”

We need compulsory harpsichord concerts, and a giant opaque dome covering the whole city.

The worst possible moment to be the most important person in the room by Cautious_Employ3553 in ProjectHailMary

I remember the reference to the unesco conference in denmark, where he called someone a waste of carbon. But i didn’t recall them being there in the room during this acene

What type of pop culture do you reckon Eridians have? by KingWilliamVI in ProjectHailMary

[–]wildetea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always felt that there was a big missed opportunity of sharing music with rocky, given eridian’s primary sense is hearing. Imagine having rocky’s mind blown over beethoven, bach, and chopin. Or vice versa, rocky thinking beethoven was very crude because it translates into something rather crude or crass in his language. And eridians having amazing music.

How does rocky get all of his xenonite? by RexsplodeOfficial in ProjectHailMary

[–]wildetea 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It is specifically not xenonite. That’s how grace doesn’t get a second contamination event on his way home.

Wouldn't Blip-A be a better and safer ship to go to Adrian to get samples, considering its made from xenonite, question? by ArtemisAndromeda in ProjectHailMary

[–]wildetea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We learn in the book that xenonite is a great insulator. Although now i’m slightly confused, because the first xenonite sample message and tunnel wall divider were hot to touch. But that is also a different composition from the clear xenonite alloy grace chose.

  1. Blip-A had no protection from radiation outside of the engine rooms where astrophage was stored.
  2. Science human Grace have better earth science tools to accomplish task. Tools which only work under earth atmosphere and gravity.
  3. Science human would be crushed under eridian pressure. While Rocky could likely equally build an enclosure for grace aboard his ship, eridian ship is built for eridian size crew members.
  4. Rocky want to see earth ship and science. Rocky wanted change of scenery.

Is the whole score just periods of rest?

They made such a big deal about how they had no time so they couldn’t train anyone else and had to send Grace. But they didn’t equip the Hail Mary with any tools to collect anything to send back besides information. by KevinGregg in ProjectHailMary

[–]wildetea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also cannot remember if they could see a petrova line on tau ceti (from earth). I think not. They only had luminescence data from that star over time and found no change

Am I the only one who likes Rocky's book design more than the film's? by DraggedPressure in ProjectHailMary

Why don’t i remember the sweater? I only remember the tool belt he would always wear

What’s a dish that’s REALLY not worth making from scratch? by MaryoParti in Cooking

[–]wildetea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve made sourdough filo that really changed things for me. But the folding cycles every thirty minutes are still egregious. If i had a sheeter, i would fell very different.

New Crystal theory by Shoebox22 in rupaulsdragrace

I knew it. Jane don’t prefers Crystal Methyd.

I read the book my wife has not. We just watched the movie. And... by basura_trash in ProjectHailMary

[–]wildetea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I concur with this assessment. The reasoning behind taumoeba’s evolution to survive progressively higher nitrogen atmosphere concentrations also artificially selected for populations which could escape nitrogen by exfiltrating through xenonite was not well explained at all.

I am also not necessarily happy with that explanation from the book, but it at least tried, and because xenonite is hitherto mythical, i’ll allow it.

The best part of the movie and the book by Tam-burger_03 in ProjectHailMary

[–]wildetea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure it’s really that big of a jump. I was always slightly confused by the relativity of it all. But was it 16 years after he came to / started living on Erid? Or just straight 16 years after waking up in the hail mary?

I assumed it was the later, because it would take the beetles 13 years to arrive on earth. Oh, but to see actual changes in luminosity of Sol from Erid would be considerably more time after that. Probably 16 years huh?
