Fair enough.

What’s wrong with requiring drones to have rotor guards?

I feel exactly the same way. It was like two different movies got spliced together, a taut sci-fi thriller and a slapstick muppet movie.

It’s killing me that you put back that dress with the flower detail! It looks so fab on you.

I keep wondering who I have to peg to get out of the grays.

If you have pets, not so fast with the Diatomaceous Earth. I think there are safe ways to use them with pets, but it requires some caution.

“Sci-fi history” apparently only means movies and TV.

Also, going from memory here, I think the speed of the human “deterrence fleet” in Peter F. Hamilton’s Void Trilogy topped out at 150,000C.

For comparison, GSV Sleeper Service - the fastest Culture ship mentioned in the books: 233,500C

I’m kind of enjoying imagining that Khurram Aziz is just stolen identities all the way down. Like, peel off one stolen identity layer and there’s another one beneath. There’s not a genuine person at the heart of it but an etherial agglomeration of stolen thoughts and cast-off memories, like those piles of cigarette…

The Kryptonians had a Kryptonforming device that they could have just taken to Mars and made a new world there, but no, they had to be jerks about it and try to Kryptonform the Earth.

I live in New Orleans, and whatever it is that happens to water left out overnight here has got to count as “going bad.” It becomes swamp water, basically.

Yeah, it’s surrounded on all sides by city. And the iconic Alamo facade is much smaller than you expect. I remember the chapel being kind of nice inside, though.

China resolved to wipe out the sparrows, and ended up ushering in a serious famine:

Rape doesn’t remove agency. It doesn’t in real life, and it doesn’t on the show.

He knew. Littlefinger is a pimp who’s already been established as having zero hesitation to sell women to men he knows will torture them.

Well, consider the Corinthian. He was something Morpheus dreamed up, but he ended up becoming the prototype serial killer. By Sandman logic, an individual with a strong vision can set a whole way of being or acting in motion. I don’t recall whether Lucifer’s origins are specifically described or depicted; it seems to…

Wasn’t crime pretty much Lucifer’s idea? Or is that the irony factor here? Or is the irony factor here that he’s a dirty cop?

YOLO’s ‘methodology’ is that they are an anti-feminist troll.
