The sun is debatable, since I think we already use it’s photons both for photosynthesis in plants, heat (although we could get infrared warmth from the hole) as well as other benefits

Why shouldn’t we holify Jupiter? It would be a testament to our technological progress as well as helping us study black holes "close"ish by rather than in labs

If we could make Jupiter a black hole, would that be stable enough to not radiate away? Other big body we have access to is the sun and I feel we would suffer more side effects of turning that into a hole compared to Jupiter

I love babies as a concept and the joy they bring their parents, but me and my partner are child free by choice, and part of that choice is us not wanting to care for an infant.

A friend’s father got kidnapped by the state here in sweden due to not showing up for draft… It does sound way worse with those words though

Just don’t use ordinary shrink tubing, it doesn’t seal properly in the front and may tighten too hard for comfort

Thanks for the site :)

Is a nice site if you want to expand into Nordic/Swedish books in your collection

I know, I’ve even heard of pages missing from paperbacks published by reputable print houses here in sweden

I like the ringantasy over romantasy any day. Sometimes I also read sword-and-sandalsantasy.

+Old man grumbles over the youths word usage+

At least when I grew up in the late 80s and 90s both boys and girls read the books and watched the movies with Pippi.

I agree that Hollywood is a blight on the cultural landscape, and you basically have to disregard their movies if you want to find something deeper than a puddle, with exceptions few and far between

I saw that as parental instinct since protection of young are not gender coded, but you can read it as maternal for sure as a mirror to the Queens hatred after the egg burning

Ellen Ripley’s gender doesn’t matter until Resurrection, which isn’t the highlight of the movie.

A lot of media have strong female characters but their gender or sex does matter for the story so can’t easily be replaced

Susan in the book Soul Music (plus some others) as well as the Witches, Tiffany Achings and more from Pratchett

Death from Sandman (even though the author is very controversial, but you could check the books out from sources that doesn’t give him a kick back)

Was a long time since I read them but the Polgara books feature a strong female protagonist

We got classic youth/kids media that shows strong female characters even if some stuff are coloured by weird takes (Such as Xander Harris): Xena, Buffy and Pippi Longstockings

I very much prefer CO2 in my drinks, some other carbon captures get you CO and I’ve heard that’s not as good as a drink carbonator

Is it the “Letter from Birmingham Jail” you are referring to? If so I’ll read it t tonight after work.

I’ve basically only seen the “I have a Dream” speech from him (except the cultural osmosis knowledge of FBI linked death and such) so the reference to white moderates went straight over my head and it just looked so odd to put a racial target in a post which otherwise seemed to view the struggle to rights from a classist view point rather than racial

Just a question from outside the US. Did the minority moderate want socialism? From outside it seems like a general issue with us moderates that they fear anything labeled leftism, not a specific white policy

Ah, okay. Thanks for the explanation

What’s bedrotting? Q

Yeah, it’s may-may

If you play with differing skill levels it can snowball way harder than aoe for example.

In aoe you get into a new game after 15 - 30 minutes against a better opponent, in homm it can take way longer with the turn based system.
