My redesign of The Expanse's Rocinante - 1% more realistic: bigger for more water (re-mass, RCS) and chemical rockets for landing. Shouldn't turn your landing pad into cancercrete! Also lasers? And radiators? Someone please make a co-op Expanse ship-to-ship combat game. I beg u.
My redesign of the Rocinante with thicc radiators, PDCs, and pulse lasers? Magnetic Nozzle? Also it's larger because it has more propellant for those big boosts and the new chemical landing rockets.Ship parts list of my Rocinante redesign

sure, i guess it’s possible that jack buhring voted for biden on november 3, 2020 and by january 11, 2021 he was posting support for trump’s insurrection contesting the results of the election. but even if that were true, it belies some pretty complicated politics not articulated in the story.

Something this episode reminded me of is that when Sauron takes Minas Tirith (the first age one) he renames it the “Isle of Werewolves” and fills it with werewolves and vampires and to be completely honest you used to be way cooler Sauron you used to do cool shit my guy

The fact that we’re being attacked by Russia doesn’t fit anyone’s narrative: if you’re a democrat, it means our spending priority is arming Ukraine, not all the nice welfare policies you really like; if you’re an authoritarian, it clarifies that the real threat to our way of life is people-like-you.

AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”
APStylebook @APStylebook
X.com
Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.

Yes. I think the consensus among US elite pundits and senior politicians that the way to protect liberal democracy is *not* to punish elite figures who violate its rules is wrong. A norm starting at least with the Watergate pardon. The opposite is true. You need to enforce the law and Constitution.

Alright after a weekend of steady carving it sadly ended in a bit of a failure 🫠 I failed at preparing the wood well enough for it to print properly, which just shows me I need to work on the basics more. The good thing I drew the design digitally first so I can try again after more practise😅

It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.
