Most Regencies have adopted the calender as have many non Council member states for ease of trade and travel. The majority of nations subscribe to the NavNet.

...is based on the daily cycle of the system's primary planet, Orean. The Council of Regents uses this to establish the standard calendar. There is no requirement for individual nations to adopt it. The Council apparatus uses it to keep records and piece together the history lost...

...established to assist in navigation and flight planning between star systems. It is also the primary interstellar communication system. But more on that later.
While the NavNet is somewhat decentralized, the hub is in the Orean system. Thus, the time used by the NavNet...

But because so many worlds and star systems are connected it is important to have a standardized time keeping system for planning trips between them.
To that end, the standardized time ked system is NavNet Time.
What is the NavNet? It is a network of navigation satellites and space stations...

That's not even how genetics work.

Many of the rivers in Kentucky pushed 20+ feet above their banks this summer. This is towns being washed away type flooding. I feel for the residents of Washington. Stay safe.

For the next century or so, colony ships left earth and settled worlds that were found to be habitable.
Then, the unthinkable happened. Every Nexus drive was destroyed in an instant. It was almost like they were affected by some sort of feedback. That event was referred to as The Shattering.

We're dragged into Luna-Earth L5 and fitted with everything needed to become arcs. Each was fitted with a Nexus drive, fitted with tens of thousands of colonists, enough cargo and provisions to support the crew and colonists, and interplanetary vessels to help establish the colonies.

The result was the Twilight Era. From the Twilight Era the Sunrise Initiative emerged, and the first "FTL" drive was built and tested. (A deeper explanation on the Nexus drive is forthcoming if I decide to post.)
To facilitate humanity's exodus into space, several large asteroids...

I'm so sorry.

I really need that to be the Kafka building.

Looks like the JD Vance thing isn't working out. Maybe she can marry Baron.

You could take away "social media" and it would still be ideal.

Huh, it's almost like the epstein files are a distraction for the actions of the fascists and their democrat enablers. If they release it, they can't string the pearl clutching blue maga crowd along while they dismantle the republic and help the oligarchs paying them loot the economy.

I used to live in Snohomish County. I don't know if Everett is prepared for that level of flooding. I hope everyone is okay.

Conservatives have only lies and hypocrisy to justify fascism.

He's washed up and irrelevant, and he knows it. His fan base is shrinking. It won't be long before before he starts whining about wokeness ruining his career to Bill Maher while sitting next to Jerry Seinfeld.

He realizes that he is very close to washed up and irrelevant. He has to appeal to his edgelord sycophants. He knows that using the n-word in his movies isn't going to draw the type of attention he is so desperate for. He's going to tread the same road as the washed-up hack, Jerry Seinfeld.
