I have an issue with that one. Shouldn’t a robot be able to draw a perfect circle?

Your flawed circle proves you are human.

You forgot to say “April Fool’s” right?!?

“Jokes Amber can’t tell” is just sitting there as a segment title.

Is your lighting source astronomically accurate?
January 1, 2025 at 4:41 PM
Nice! I like the lighting best on this one. I like the placement better on the others. Angle of the rings and more of the gas giant visible is better in my opinion.

I completely agree. The Mastodon bookmark rules. I always have a backlog of interesting posts to read.

well, it is what has permitted Russia to meddle in our politics.

And I fear that retaliation for a military attack on Iran is going to be hacking our utilities.

I’m sure we can do it back to them, but it hurts our economy more.

The important part is getting the shoe on ASAP so I will allow it.

So you agree with Archie Bunker over Meathead? 😁On this issue only, I hope.

Also, sock, shoe, sock, shoe is the true path.

I think that the end of WW2 began the nuclear age which was dominated by the USA. Perhaps cell phones, crypto, and AI are really just signs of the Information Age, which is a great leveler of nations.

Thanks, Drew. It does offer some good reasons for why the “burn it down” sentiment seems more popular.
Minor bit, I don’t think that self driving cars and cancer cures have been hampered by bureaucracy. They are just much tougher problems than we estimated

Why push a big tender around gathering smaller ships? Some sort of minimal G drive should have been possible.

The Xboat communications network was quintessential Traveller. The time delay worked well with RPG plots. The tender system supporting xboats without G drives never quite rang true with me though. It seemed more of an artifact of the ship design rules than anything else.

Very nice! The colors and lighting remind me of a Darrell K Sweet sci-fi cover.

I want to design a single person prospecting ship. Your mining vessel would interest me.

BBC can be just as confusing

For the past 6 months I have followed you on Mastodon through a bot that mirrors your Twitter posts. It is great to follow you directly on Bluesky.
