I think his intention with the next one is to make it shorter (eliminate the section in the middle) since it doesn’t need to be as long as it is. So the final one will likely take up significantly less space. It also definitely needs to have gentler curves so the veggies can be pushed through easier.

Or it’s likely a mini-Neptune type planet with more atmosphere than ground and therefore likely won’t have complex life at all. Or complex life able to try and do that.

You would need to get into orbit first to start the process of making it. It could make it easier to get into orbit once you have it but it doesn’t eliminate the burden of needing to get into orbit at least once before it’s set up. Likely more than once since failed attempts will require you to start over.

Because one of them (Earth) is based on reality, and the other is a poorly done conceptual render because no human actually knows the shape of the landmasses on that planet on account of having never been there.

Very pretty. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an aloe plant bloom before.

Because you probably live in the southern hemisphere and it is oriented in the thumbnail as it is in the northern hemisphere.

I agree that people should definitely keep a good store of non-perishable foods in case of hard times, but you also should try to grow food as well. I don’t think anyone is trying to say it’ll be easy, like anything at first it is difficult. It’s definitely worth trying though, if you can and have the space. Like I said, don’t go all in as your only option, keep non-perishable foods on hand, like canned goods, or dried goods. If you’re able to grow your own food you get fresh fruits and veggies, and you won’t use up as many canned goods.

I think it’s problematic when communities give support and endorsement for proprietary firmware and apps as official solutions. The fact that you had trouble finding open source firmware because most of the crap they promote is proprietary is literally the problem.

I’m in agreement, I’m not a fan of services or communities who base their interfaces and projects on proprietary crap.

They’re like puppies of the sea, just with stingers.

I guess it’s possible, there is a hypothesis that the solar system has a second faint red or brown dwarf star orbiting in the furthest outskirts of the solar system. I’m not sure I buy this hypothesis though, there is so little evidence. And it would be one of the more strange binary systems out there (binary stars are usually close together).

I thought they peaked during the Triassic.

Crazy that they boast about having an overactive amygdala but deny it when people say they are acting crazy and paranoid.

Also, side note: conflation of liberal and leftist as if they’re the same is kind of a pet peeve of mine. They are very much not the same thing. Those who know know.

Looks more like Sushi

To be fair it’s a chicken which is 12 meters tall, if you’ve ever seen chickens killing and eating bugs it seems cute but if they were that big they would not be cute at all, it would be terrifying. Little birds are only cute and unintimidating because they’re small.

That’s a good idea, have several different interpretations.

Of course it’ll be wrong, my point is to try making it look more like a living thing than a living skeleton. When comparing skin wrapped designs to living creatures (even mythical ones) they just look wrong. Most creatures don’t look shrink wrapped. Really imagining what prehistoric animals is more art than science, you use science to try and know roughly what they looked like but that’ll only get you so far, you need to use imagination or creativity.

I mean we can create depictions of mythical animals that have never lived and will never live, why not use some of that skill to try and depict prehistoric creatures in a way that’s more life-like, because the shrink wrap technique isn’t more accurate, it’s lazy, not believable, and also aesthetically unappealing.

I think that many of the people who do depictions of prehistoric creatures lack imagination so they do the bare minimum they possibly could to “imagine” the skeleton as a living creature. Imagination is absolutely required to get a good depiction of them that looks lifelike and not creepy and unrealistic.
