I like trains and computers

We are Hive. We are Legion. And you are One of Us. The crier of “Sheeple,” harbinger of individualism.

You, too, are Legion.

Fuck yeah!

I am only a humble instrument of The Community; I bring only what must be said, and it would have been said without me. We are inevitable.

You’re allowed to say pussy

Fair take. I just always considered Twitter a shithole to begin with. I don’t give him the honor of renaming it because he thinks his kids shouldn’t get the same rights as a software package in that regard.

It’s Twitter. The man deadnames his own daughter; I’m sure as hell gonna deadname his social cesspool.

“Police person” also implies that police are people…

I could see LoRa radio nodes making deep-forest IoT sensors possible. Have a solar station with starlink provide internet access, then use it as a LoRa (or other packet radio) modem for a couple-mile radius of sensors. Each sensor package could be a fairly cheap box with sensor, solar power and a radio. Would be super easy to deploy hundreds of those, all served by the same completely autonomous satellite station, and cheap to replace failing hardware (just see which nodes stop talking and send replacements when a bunch fail).

I introduce another option, as I’m much more detailed than even “1.” I can visualise entire scenes with the background and all, along with other sensory experiences such as touch, taste, and smell with complete realism. Very useful being in engineering. I do watch the referenced content, but it’s more to “enrich the dataset” so to speak, just for inspiration and to provide more details to imagine later. Sometimes I’ll just turn it off and go with the fantasy instead.

Jigga deez nuts!

Having considered the military, I think enlistment should absolutely remain at 18 so you have time to rise in grade and get special training if your going to be a pilot etc. The problem with alcohol is Americans are too stupid at 18 (and even 21 in some cases) to drink responsibly… Which is a problem with Americans, not alcohol at 18 (or at least it doesn’t seem to be a problem in Europe). If America made the drinking age 18, a quarter of our dumbass population would be drunk within 24 hours…

I, for one, (a vampire Goth) fear for my life when our werewolf overlords enter society …

And that trait does exist in nature already, it’s just rare and mostly useless until environmental pressures only allow those individuals to reproduce.

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine. Your kind cling to your flesh, as though it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call the temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved, for the Machine is immortal… Even in death I serve the Omnissiah.

“It was, in fact, cake.”

Whereas “conversion therapy,” either from a psych or a parent, usually does result in trying to kill oneself. Been there, done that… And yes. It’s torture.

First of all, domes in general aren’t a great idea except for maybe greenhouses - at least on planets in our system. NASA and ESA have done some cool concept experiments as to what pressurized architecture could look like, and it’s a lot more like a cross between a space station module and Earth architecture.

Second - assuming we’ve adapted/evolved to the low gravity, skyscrapers are probably the way to go. That said, if we’ve adapted that heavily we probably have similar adaptations to the atmosphere etc. - in which case architecture would probably be similar to Earth architecture, but able to build higher assuming the same materials.

But if we were trying to colonize a low-gravity world, we’d have to use an orbital station with centripetal-force “gravity” and only research stations on the surface, with a science crew rotation every 6-12 ish months to prevent bone loss.

This is actually the plan for the Moon and then Mars - use Gateway as a station to resupply and host crew rotations for Moon and Mars missions, and eventually to support long-term habitation. But until such a station exists, Lunar Gateway will be used for a waystation for crew rotations between the Moon and Earth.

Space engineering is about to become a very high demand field, on the absolute frontier of human exploration…

Maybe Gate of the Arctic National Park in Alaska? Similar terrain and foliage.
