You keep it somewhere deep in the shed and didn't want to open it anymore. 3. Unexpectedly there appeared its sequel. 4. You feel an unconscious call to find the elder book where it lives now, open it, and combine both parts... Did I miss something? Don't forget to properly self-equip before reading.

StrandedonEarth Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 You know what show I've never seen? The Beverly Hillbillies Having just watched the pilot, I Know what we'll be binging for awhile. It does not seem as dated as other old shows. Incidentally, my nephew loved the show when he was young, and named his firstborn Jed... And Elly Mae, oh my...

jimmymcgoochie Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Discovered I had a load of Amazon gift voucher money on my account, so I bought all the Expanse series as e-books, that should keep me going for at least a couple of weeks (well, there are nine of them to get through...)

Hyperspace Industries Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I wanted to put this in the "share your artworks" thread, but it hasn't had any posts in a while (it has the anti necro-posting orange banner) and souptime's art gallery consists entirely of memes, and I didn't want to clog up the lounge with another art thread. So, here you go: A triple engine hydrolox fueled lander (with my best attempt at drawing foil tanks in it) lifting off from Chung, a partially subterranean base at the Lunar south pole. There are small viewing spots sticking out of the crater walls, a pair of cylinders marked Nasa-1 (because Nasa-L was too obvious), and ESA-07. A Jaxa rover and all sorts of other stuff.

Hyperspace Industries Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I got the cavities filled, had to take a calming pill, but survived! Now my mouth is huge and swollen. I've set my alarm for tomorrow as Chuck Berry's school day. Vacation is almost out the airlock. I drew something too: Tried out a darker sky on this one. It's a binary asteroid pair, both have Psyche-like ravines, there are mining installations on each. The large ship at the top is solar thermal powered (this is between earth and Mars orbits) cargo ferry, it's solar thermal because nuclear thermal propulsion needs a load of paperwork if you want to go near earth, the smaller one is a nuclear ion powered ship from the belt (most asteroids have gravity that make Gilly look like Ovin, and nuclear power is allowed, because they need to be radiation shielded anyways.) The sun is in the bottom left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuessingEveryDay Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Starting with a notification about being exposed to Covid Spoiler Then school overreacting about a bomb inside, that turned out to be nonexistent. Never before have I seen anyone run so fast. Yes, I understand a bomb is still serious, but the bomb is either remote trigger or on a timer. It'll take time for it to go off, use that time to reach a safe distance, not scream heads off, excuse me while I enter my panic room.

A significant downgrade from September 2017, which saw anywhere between 406 thousand and 2 million people evacuated from schools, courts and shopping centers, or February 2020, where authorities were apparently able to investigate a threat against 20 thousand schools country-wide in some video on Likee overnight.
