Ok - serious advice. I had the same urge about a year ago. I've read a lot of web fiction (mostly on royalroad.com) and decided that if I waited to write something perfect, I'd never write anything. So I just started with a half-assed idea and saw where it went. It was supposed to be practice, not 'the one'. I started posting, got invited to a writing discord, kept going. Now the professionally edited ebook + audiobook is being published in October, and we're editing book two.

It's from Love, Death and Robots. Season 3, episode 2, Bad Travelling.

That man's mustache is worthy of comment.

Older papers can be something else. Clear proposed reasoning and a single elegant experiment that perfectly answers the question.

Props. As a STEM grad student I try to maintain sane hours, but seeing peers pull long hours is its own form of peer pressure. Graduation.

TWWH2 is a hard game to stream, but it can be done. Definitely would give it a try if you did it.

These posts are awesome! I'm looking forward to anything from TWWH3.

I got a PS4 to play this game. 4 full playthroughs later no regrets.

This guy's got it. The heat isn't enough for this much compression, it's mostly the water vapor condensing that drops the volume.

I agree, I'm constantly amazed by the depth and thought in W3 side quests. HZD main plot blows W3 main quest out of the water for me though.

All hail the enzyme database and its lookup. My metabolic engineering lab has this chart on the wall and nobody has used it in years.

What's the name of the book with necrons/blood angels vs. nids?

Hmm I might include some of these in my next 5e session. I still mostly play 3.5/pathfinder though.

I think this argument is best summarized by saying that "Tolerance is a peace treaty. If somebody breaks the treaty break them".

I really want to hear what you think of GMO crops! I mostly think of the technology as good/necessary and the companies as jerks.

I agree with this other guy. It's only about competing for funding. If you have the funding, do the work, get the experience and degrees.

Yeah when you're trying to convince agencies to fund you over people like this it can be pretty depressing.

Daaaaayum. Those two-photon lasers cost more than a pretty penny. I'll stay over here with my dynamic single-molecule bacterial imaging.

If you ever want that by another author read Tom Kratman's Carrerra series. The bad guys are literally "damn liberals, the root of all evil"

Definitely. I started noticing after the... fourth one?

The general consensus is to instead gene drive a cassette that would prevent the mosquitoes from carrying malaria.

I'm peripherally involved with the mosquito gene drive extinction stuff, and the consensus is that it wouldn't be that bad, just very hard.

It's fantastic. Great move to watch with a significant other/friends.

I found this paper a few years ago and just about laughed my ass off.

This.

I'm going to do the same. The Trypsin one needs to go up on the BL2 door.
