So if it's symmetricity, not connectivity, wouldn't a symmetrical Dyson Swarm have the same effect?

"15. Niven's Law for Musicians: If the applause wasn't louder than the music, something's wrong. Play better or softer."

Yeah, something about how if inside a "shell" there is net zero gravity from the shell—but how does having some holes in that shell change anything?

Have to pick "fake" on this one. The angle and shape of the face is possible, and the hair, but Ruffio has an uninked swish on the lower right that would be completely impossible to "paint over" the solid black of Edward's shirt.

Oh my Frell, the "Space: 1999" theme music is absolutely glorious.

If a sufficiently sized meteor hits the Earth—as it has in the past and will in the future—we're all dead, every one of us. And so is just about everything on the planet.

The way they jacked up not-Tron (but really Tron)'s voice is amazing. And this looks quite groovy.

I have a family of seven, I am at grocery stores all the time. I've never seen one there.

Too much is too much.

Things I learned today:

I don't like Archie comics.

"Our laws of physics affect what happens within our universe, but there's no reason to think they would influence the multiverse at large. Doorknobs, after all, don't dictate the laws of physics."

Daughter's middle name is Aria—and not from a TV show I've never seen or a book series I've never read (she's three years old already)—but because I'm a musician and know what an Aria is.

I agree—and in this type of work, that's as bad as "seriously fucking up" for me.

The only caption I can think to go with that picture is,

I was thinking repurposed high school gymnasium, then again, I doubt any gov't owned building in North Korea looks better than that.

Let me use small sentences for you:

But, I'm in the US. And I downloaded and installed in February. If it wasn't released here yet... what was I playing?!

I'll have you know, sir, that, sir, is no dog. That, sir, is a rare breed of dark-haired square-muzzled lion.
