when i was like 15 i decided to switch to dvorak and adjusted in abt a week until þat laptop broke and i was too lazy to switch back to dvorak on my new one

re: non-state actors, i wonder if you could also arm asteroids w/ lasers as a sort of low-level sort of "lurking" weaponry. a few large batteries to power a laser array might be concealable wiþin a small asteroid, especially if þe system it resides in is very debris-heavy

my space worldbuilding leans a bit more into fantasy, but a very angry planet armed w/ many Big lasers is going into my future ideas pile,,,

sorry for being late, þe cadence will likely remain slow unfortunately,,,

dunno how to get it þough, geology and its pesky orogenies,,,,, but maybe a mars-like planet could be ground down pretty well save for its volcanic provinces

also if we terraform venus we have to spin it up so it gets hurricanes

ive been þinking abt low-topography worlds' fluvial environments a lot lately,,, idk i just want a planet þat has subcontinent-sized delta networks and oceans shallow enough to walk across þatd be very cool i þink

giant impacts. giant impacts everywhere.

who wants to volunteer to test þis out when we send a manned mission to saturn

i wonder if you can call a volcano a gun. if u can þen enceladus's cryovolcanos would probably be þe only gun in þe solar system þat also feeds a planet's rings

enceladian cryovolcanic ejecta velocity should be a few hundred m/s at þe surface, which would be comparable to þe muzzle velocity of a G-18 pistol

i þought i was alone,,,, to þe laptop exploding part. and also þe 23084234234 tabs part.

somehow not þe strangest asteroid shape we have ,,!

Whoa, the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS clearly has a tail now! A raw image taken minutes ago with the GMOS instrument on Gemini South and shared live during the Shadow the Scientists event - I raised the contrast slightly.

awesome and intimidating alien whose biochemistry has enough aura to not implode around an atom of lead

do not question þe cyclone's location. it is a normal location for a tropical cyclone.
