Lifelong Alaskan. Enchanted by things that fly, from bumblebees to starships. Science fiction author.
Kind of a softball headline for an article that says there’s an 80% chance that temperatures will exceed the record. I guess we aren’t supposed to be alarmed.

It’s a cool idea that their whistle could encode the same kind of information as a human’s face.

Incredible book! The sequel was good too. And then she changed genres, which was a real loss for science fiction.

I read it fairly recently… a year or two ago. I’m not much of a gamer, but I also enjoyed a computer game of the same name, whose visuals really appealed and was self-paced so I could be inept without consequence

That was fun, thanks! Now I have to check out their other videos.

I wish Bandai would do the ANH Falcon in 1/144. My favorite as well, likely because my high school brain was imprinted with it hard.

Ah never mind I see farther down this is the wee 1/350 variant. I've got one of the 1/144 that I'm looking forward to building...

Nice! Is this the 1/144 Rise of Skywalker version?

Copilot in MS Word started prompting me yesterday to rewrite paragraphs in the short story I was working on. Which is new behavior, thanks! And not welcome. And then the Google AI summary on how to turn it off was wrong. So that was kind of funny.

Though any given one would not be here for long, unless "they" could figure out how to decelerate them. Maybe have most of the swarm form a large mirror, and bounce the beam back on a few others.
