In addition to what you said fiber is an important part of poop. An not just as stuff to push through the tract.

A important function of the liver is body detox. One way the liver does that is to package chemicals so they bind to fiber and get flushed out of the system. Lack of fiber can cause those chemicals to stick around and cause more problems.

Cosmoline smells more like "gun" to me than gunpowder.

This isn't correct. Even when someone who has lost weight hits caloric balance they stay hungry. Fat cells produce hunger signals when it's at lower than it's previous stored energy levels.

It takes several years for fat cells to adapt to the new normal and not try to reach their previous levels.

Fair enough it's great either way. I usually like to read rather than listen. However Zelazny does write in a style that works best read a aloud.

Drop off the edge with an inserter. I feed everything into the hub. Then I have an inserter set to read the hub for each chunk type. If it's greater than 5 it gets thrown overboard. For production it's the same just disable the factory when there is enough. That prevents build ups.

I saw a study about 5 years ago that showed over 90% of ev owners expected their next car to be electric. I just replaced my first ev with another ev.

Casablanca is incredibly clichéd now. But it's what started a lot of those clichés.

Some people can see classified systems and some can't.

We should have totally called it a unit test.

So the area for this was used for both training of soldiers and demos for people without security clearances. So it frequently had to be switched between the two. So you get everything setup and ready.

As a last test you drop the unit in and blam it. Then you go to each system and check the unit status. If it's ok you are good to demo to civilians.

A unit test wouldn't work because it's a deployment situation and a lot the software wasn't under our control. A lot of time it was just making sure the DIS HLA gateway was properly configured and entities remapped.

I really like it. This is probably my 10 listen. If you can find the version read by the author it's better than the other audio book version.

Yup. I had an infestation thar took months to get rid of. Turns out they were in an old bag of dried peppers.

It means removal of 1/10th. deci 1/10 matus remove. So yes decimation was the name of the Roman punishment where 1/10 of a group was killed. But it can be applied to any group of people or things.

I listen to A Night in the Lonesome October every October. It's the diary of Jack the Rippers dog from October 1'st to October 31'st.

I used to work in serious sim. Think using game engines for realistic combat stimulation and training by the army. Systems had to interact and had different jobs rts, fps, driving simulator, etc.

So they each needed a unit database that was unique to that system. They also usually had a two versions a classified database and a less accurate non classified database.

A quick way to test was there was a unit type that was always set to invulnerable in unclassified databases. So drop one in the sim and drop some artillery on it. If it wasn't destroyed you were unclassified.

Just to warn you there is a lot of lore and it's changed and been retconned over the last 40 years. That leads to some odd stuff like Leman Russ having a tank named after him.

It's also had some major tone shifts from silly (Inquisitor Obiwan Sherlock Cluseau ) to so Grim Dark it becomes Grim Derp. It's in a sort of midpoint now.

So look into what you find interesting and if you don't like it switch sources or topic. Expect things to be contradictory depending on when it was written.

Here is a good but silly video background to the origin of the orks. It's still mostly accurate. In 30k the Emperor got hurt and was put on a life support chair. He's been there for 10k years unable to communicate.

Premise of this series is they install a text to speech device and now big E can communicate. So they update him on the state of the Imperium and he fills in all the missing history. It's a fan video and noncannon but lore accurate for when it was made.

If you want a more serious tone for your lore dump try luetin09 or oculus imperialis. They are to dry for me but pretty good content.

Also WAAGH is the ork war cry and WAAGH energy is the reality bending field that makes the orks group think real. So red things go faster because red is the fastest color.

It's right there in the word. deci 1/10 mate from matus to remove. It's like expecting half price to mean 1/3 price. We use deci all the time to mean 1/10 Decileter, decimal, etc.

I know! The best bad movies make you as why did they do that? It's one thing when you understand what they were going for but failed because of bad effects, no budget, or bad writing.

But seriously why would you have him spend 10 hours shooting at the horse?

Thanks that makes sense.

Common misuse of words. Decimate means reduce by 1/10 not almost completely destroy. Exponential growth. The variable has to be in the exponent if it's a constant exponent that is polynomial growth. Gaslighting isn't just lying. It's making someone belive that they can't trust their own memories or experiences so they believe you despite evidence to the contrary.

Daybreak is very good. It's from one of the designers of pandemic.
