That is exactly what it means, yes. Though people will probably feel less happy if you point it out explicitly

Day 78: Turns out my acolytes wrote rude jukes all over my face while I was passed out from drinking worm bile. I’ve been walking around like this for WEEKS and nobody dared tell me?! Next time the smuggler caravan comes by, I’m getting a wardrobe mirror installed.

A requirement for supernova is a star’s total mass being above a certain threshold.

If you can imagine some way of siphoning off mass, you could do it.

One imaginable way would be to move the sun (entire system in tow) close to a black hole or larger sun or something to feed off it. This might well be a recipe for causing a bigger mess, but it might be believable. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=v3y8AIEX_dU

Wormhole is also a scifi magic solution.

“You can now get multiple pets (after getting max hearts with your starter pet).”

“You can now place hats on cats and dogs.”

I have a goal for my next playthrough

Astrophysicists are generally annoyed at the standard model. It’s got too many fudges in it. Maybe this will make a new and more explanatory model be discovered and accepted.

Practically, nothing much will change except for astrophysicists being really excited for a while because this kind of thing is what science is all about.

Ah, interesting. I don’t use the app at all, so that explains my confusion.

I can’t find any “following” anything in my Pateron, and to the best of my understanding it’s not an option. Where do you see this?

Are you sure that you’re not on a “free member” thing that some creators have?

When trying to find the original top image, “male female hardcore” was a poor, poor choice of Google image search terms.

This has a All/Blue Lives Matter stink to it.

Youtube channel “Second Wind” has excellent indie game coverage.

They do “Bytesized” for short reviews of new games. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUBKwq0XD0uesOmUb2GTsc6rVp0mILcOY&si=lB8ZOIy3hraaMyG6

Also they have “Hidden Gem” where they stream an older indie game that went under their radar.

Plus most of their other stuff is pretty on the indie pulse.

It is fine to listen to and a lot of presenters make a voice like that work well. Don’t worry about it.

If you make a career - or significant hobby - of presenting, do practice getting comfortable with your own voice as much as you can. When you can listen objectively to the sound of your voice, you can do small improvements on your natural voice to make sure you’re always clear, have a good tempo, or give it a tiny bit of character with intonations etc.

In Norway there’s like 60 names that have a reasonably even usage between genders.

Entering academia early 2000s, I saw people refer to authors of research papers as “they” as a default to sidestep gendering.

On one hand it’s nice to not insert gender where it isn’t needed, but on the more practical hand it wasn’t always possible to tell by name either. European names can have different gender in different regions, or be all Sztrkökla, and names from Asia are even harder to guess.

Ah, they’ve changed it. Yes, I see same as you.

This was also reported on during the weekend, and when I looked into it then they had the Sweet Baby Inc logo with a big “forbidden” slashed red circle over it.

it didn’t say avoid apparently

It originally did

It still remains in the curator’s logo.

Sabine Hossenfelder, used to love her takes on physics until she fell in the usual expert’s trap of believing she can talk equally usefully about things OUTSIDE her expertise.

First trans care, which missed a few important nuances. Then autism, which had a decades-old perspective and was at best “not informative”.

Then hoo boy Capitalism where she made a huge tangled MESS confusing and conflating markets with monetary systems and credit, all apparently based off half-remembered textbooks from 1950 using long-disproven historical claims.

A lot of criticism was sent her way. None was acknowledged, or apparently taken to heart. Repeatedly.

From skillfully presenting physics with a “explain it like I’m 5” style, she’s now spouting any trending topic in a “explained by a 5 year old” style.
