Last Notes npub15xs4txntpn4vfng9he87ys04ersw3gkfnvkzr57ttzr3d77z2uyqqhgdxu Michael Busch It now being when Octavia Butler's 1990s "Parable" novels about a dystopic then-future United States are set; I've read several people writing about dystopic literature and other books as warnings about real social threats. npub15xs4txntpn4vfng9he87ys04ersw3gkfnvkzr57ttzr3d77z2uyqqhgdxu Michael Busch @npub1uw8…88kr I am shamefully forgetting this from last year's goat threads: What will you do with another 15 goats? npub15xs4txntpn4vfng9he87ys04ersw3gkfnvkzr57ttzr3d77z2uyqqhgdxu Michael Busch Because the latest adaptation of 刘慈欣 / Liú Cíxīn 's 三体 / "Three Body" has now been released: npub15xs4txntpn4vfng9he87ys04ersw3gkfnvkzr57ttzr3d77z2uyqqhgdxu Michael Busch Yet again, USA: npub15xs4txntpn4vfng9he87ys04ersw3gkfnvkzr57ttzr3d77z2uyqqhgdxu Michael Busch @npub1dgc…4yrt I am a bit confused by the poppy seeds in that list if they were supposed to have been included for nutrition rather than for flavor. npub15xs4txntpn4vfng9he87ys04ersw3gkfnvkzr57ttzr3d77z2uyqqhgdxu Michael Busch @npub1tpj…fmcs I saw a picture of someone's "travel reimbursement denied" costume earlier. npub15xs4txntpn4vfng9he87ys04ersw3gkfnvkzr57ttzr3d77z2uyqqhgdxu Michael Busch @npub1psd…9sr7 @npub12jc…a4uc @npub1e52…tt3u Even 10 years ago; launch costs were no more than ~10% the cost of the Asteroid Redirect Robotic Mission. The spacecraft was designed to use material from the target asteroid itself to increase the mass used in the gravity tractor; to avoid needing to lift so much mass. npub15xs4txntpn4vfng9he87ys04ersw3gkfnvkzr57ttzr3d77z2uyqqhgdxu Michael Busch @npub1uw8…88kr I parsed that as "N-Earth Asteroids" and am now trying to understand what that would mean. npub15xs4txntpn4vfng9he87ys04ersw3gkfnvkzr57ttzr3d77z2uyqqhgdxu Michael Busch @npub1lx6…g7jr @npub1dgc…4yrt Among the many sources of systematic uncertainty that are not accounted for in Chae 2023 ( https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-4357/ace101 ), I note that the effects of stellar oblateness and of the galactic tidal potential were not even mentioned.
