thinking about the problems of Operating Vehicle if you are big-tailed and the conclusions is forming in my head that honestly the only two options really if the seat needs to properly restrain you are a) a tail-sleeve that makes ingress and egrees awkward or b) shared with ferals and taurs, a prone pilot position with possibly a clamshell-type restraint

some people have the flavour of autism where trying to out-nerd and out-"i know you know i know you know i know you know..." your opponent is enjoyable

chess is the purest strategy game because there is no randomness and the full game state is open, so it is a pure mind game against the opponent

and if you are into chess the first part has some of the most mind games of it

don't mind me just doing math in textedit

this *should* give the time at which a point with initial position (x, y, z) and constant velocity (u, v, w) has its closest approach to the origin if i didn't do anything wrong

but i still feel it would make more sense if sources of rotational power simply had a set rpm that they spin at and you have to match that to whatever is at the other end using gears and stuff

Alternatively, screen readers could just be better about it, recognise when special characters are arranged in a way that makes a word, and parse that as a word rather than reading out the character names

I admittedly have only skimmed the paper so far, but it also seems interesting that motile animals seem occupy only a small sliver of the total design space. And this kind of intuitively makes sense, motile animals do not benefit from a large external surface-area-to-volume ratio the way that (some) sessile animals or plants do for capturing floating nutrients/groundwater/sunlight.

Tbh unless low orbit debris density is truly ridiculous, a rocket launching directly to earth escape probably could make it out. You have, on fermi estimation, ~1e8 m3 of volume swept out at LEO altitudes, so you'd need on order 10 large enough pieces of debris per km3 to make launching stuff out impossible

Plus a supervolcano wouldn't be able to launch debris into orbital trajectories, tbh not sure if it can even get debris up to orbital altitudes to start a collision cascade

random question:

what media first used the "beam sweeps across the ground followed by a series of explosions where the beam was" thing that you see in a lot of anime and also some japanese video games, e.g. monster hunter?
