What was wrong with Artemis? I didn't notice any glaring faults in it.
The president I'm thinking of gets applause when he signs his name to something because people are so relieved he still remembers how.
No. That's doubleplus ungood.
You'll absolutely be judged.
if we restrict art sources to human artists
That worked five years ago. Why wouldn't it work now?
Speaking from experience? How many generation ships have you travelled on?
OTOH, you've yet to encounter any conclusive evidence that you're mortal.
In the Scandinavian vampire movie Let The Right One In, a vampire that enters uninvited starts leaking blood from every pore.
There's no natural justice. If we want it we have to make it.
I've given my reasons, how about you give yours?
If a creature that size existed, it wouldn't be made of ordinary flesh. Its bones would have to be something special just to hold it up, and its tendons would need to be extraordinarily tough to keep the muscles from just sliding off in a heap.
I can't leave it at that. I have to add some details.
Both the empire and the rebels repeatedly made tactical decisions so stupid a five-year old would know better. The opening battle involved sending unprotected bombers against a ship with anti-bomber defences and keeping the enemy commander talking on the phone to delay his response. That works in a Mel Brooks movie, not in Star Wars.
They killed a fan-favourite character off-screen. What, was the puppet too old to reprise its role?
The empire's main guy decided to chase the rebels down instead of destroying them immediately. For fun, I guess.
Phasma's a badass. Except that she capitulates at the first sign of personal danger.
All Holdo had to say was "yes, there's a plan. Not telling you what because of operational secrecy". Instead she expected Poe to blindly follow orders when he'd already shown he couldn't do that.
"Oh no, the sacred texts!" ...that you attempted to burn a moment ago.
The Last Jedi.
I left the theatre angry that they spent enough money to take mankind back to the moon on something that stupid.

Looks like a fun game. Humans draw the short straw in terms of starting ability though, don't we?
Especially if the sinners still need their punishment?
Either all at once, or over a lifetime?
My position is that it's a snack and husband tax must be paid. My wife is arguing that it's a meal or occupies some third food space and it's entirely hers. Who's right, court of Lemmy?
To explain what I mean, I think you can level up a cooking style. For example, pasta. At level 1, you're boiling dried pasta and adding sauce out of a jar. At level 1, you add your own spices. Level 3, switch to fresh pasta. Level 4, make your own sauce. And finally at level 5, make the pasta from scratch.
So with BBQ, I guess level 1 would be cooking the meat so it's neither burnt nor underdone. Maybe level 2 is mixing different meats/cuts that have different heat/time requirements and cooking well. Further levels = ?
Picture this: you're working in a large open-plan office and you need to send a message to Steve at the other end of the room. You pull out your messenger handgun, dictate your message (because you paid for the voice recognition feature) and let it engrave your words on a bullet. Then you simply fire it at the target mounted above Steve's cube!
Fast, attention-getting and simple. It's the perfect system.

"Laser avocado" sounds like a Doritos flavor, but it's actually a packaging technique being trialed by Tesco. In a bid to reduce packaging waste, the UK supermarket chain is laser-etching avocados rather than using barcode stickers. And for their avocado products that come in twin packs, they're dit...
I'm sharing this because any reduction in unnecessary packaging waste is good for the planet - and because I think laser-etching avocados is funny. 🙂
I followed a Jaime Oliver recipe for curry, which started with grating onion, ginger and garlic. I liked the curry, but grating an onion is a miserable job. He said that technique unlocked the onion's 'sweetness'. How much difference do you think I'd notice if I used a food processor?
A community-based approach to restoration using an ingenious device can bring back coral reefs traumatized by dynamite fishing.

I noticed that one of the monitors in the loom control room had "SKIN?" written on it in the dust that covered it. It seemed pretty mysterious and I was sure it was a detail that was going to be important, but it never came up as far as I noticed. Any theories as to what it's about?
I've been on a cosmic horror kick lately, and what I'd really like to read is stories or novels of the awful and unfathomable on a spaceship. Stories where we go to them, poke what shouldn't be poked, scan what shouldn't be scanned, and things proceed from there.
Automated wind-energy system brings portable renewables off-grid
A new electrolysis system can pump green hydrogen from water without an expensive membrane, taking a giant step toward the $1-per-kg goal.

I recently watched a Wyloch's Armory clip about using painter's tape as edge-cladding for corrugated cardboard tiles. Has anyone tried this? Does the tape take acrylic paint well? If I let segments of tape overlap at the corners, how thick will it look?
