Well it's still spring but yeah, it's getting hot. I spent most of yesterday doing yard work. Will be time to plant plants in a week.

No it's the first day of summer here
Usually it's not summery at this time here but the past few days have been great considering. At least in my part of the country. Snow and frost in many other places

Oh and I forgot to tell you guys I was in the USA, Boston, for a week until this Monday

Thank you DARPA.

Very little of this will realistically get built, but wow does it feel like the 60s again with big space dreams. Building a railroad on the Moon using local metals, a harbor in orbit with cargo being transferred between tugs and landers, massive power towers to beam energy where needed, etc. And of course almost all of it uses starship for launch.

A bit past the halfway point with the 3rd book in this series, the arrows of time.

Better than the second and has the potential to be better than the first. The big rotational physics consequence I expected to be explored in the second book is instead happening here, more or less.

Spoiler for Hidden:

<br>They are in space and they see another object that is about the same size as their rocket. I thought that object would actually be their rocket from the future, just now traveling backwards in time relative to them. I was really excited but it just ended up being an asteroid apparently.<br><br>This book however has them land on a planet that is going backwards through time. They step on the ground and &quot;absorb&quot; footprints for example. Will be interesting to see how it all works out. So far it has avoided time travel tropes which is great but I&#39;ll be bummed if the handwaved away details go unexplored.<br>

It was trash....
I get that you're trying to push some messages in the show, but when you keep pushing it over the show being entertaining that's too much and ruins the show. I get that they wanted to talk about mental health. But God dang, they brought in the most boring character ever (the therapist) and that took over a huge Chunk of the show.

Spoiler for season 3? Or 2 I forgot

Spoiler for Hidden:

Also if I was a club owner and my manager left one of the most important games of the season, at the dying minutes, when the team needed him the most, because an anxiety attack, I'd fire him on the spot. I get that talking about mental health is all good and dandy, but if you can't handle a high intense pressure don't take on a high intense games. Sports is about teamwork and comrade, not about quiting and hiding.

It was also a moment that went against teds entire character and what they showed the first 2 seasons. Quirky down to earth guy, but big heart and up for the big moments, doesn't back down.

Yeah 99% of modern media is stupid like that. The fbi show I watched the other night had a prisoner set for execution in a day. The fbi was chasing a current day murderer and realized the guy in prison was innocent.

They had a big stupid race against the clock because they wanted to push a message, instead of just a realistic judge going "oh wow you found the body from this old case? And the people involved with this old case are being murdered today? And the modern murderer's dna looks like a match to the old dna we found? Guess I'll delay the execution."



I wish shows/movies/games were  smarter but I still try to enjoy the good elements if they're there like with Ted. Or I just enjoy the trainwreck like with this fbi show and Chicago Med.

I wouldn't be that critical of it, but yeah it got worse and worse.
