The bladder tells the balls that it’s time

I mean, it is kind of hard to push the stuff through initially when the thing is hard. But I guess you’re right that aiming becomes a bigger issue.

I had the exact same impression. Excellent ideas but need more fleshing out

Certainly makes it hard to pee

And pee yourself

Is it even possible? I mean, your bladder would probably scream so loud that the brain would give up

Only this morning? Lucky bastard.

Biological clock in action

I am almost never able to get back to sleep after “answering the call.” It’s like the brain get a signal to start working.

that’s a life pro tip right there

I just recently read the first Expanse (Leviathan Awakens) and am reading Hyperion. Depends on what you are in a mood for. Expanse is more action-packed and easier to follow. Hyperion is higher up there, takes time to digest.

Not as high as reading Annihilation

Thanks for a detailed response. Just started reading the Fall of Hyperion

I knew I was in the right place

They talk about many things, but the one that stands out is incentives. There is a lot of competition in academia, publish or perish, with big prizes, so some people are taking shortcuts.

These were great, really enjoyed them, especially the coverage of the Data Colada story

I know what you’re saying. The New Moon (Luna) was like that for me. Did not finish

Thanks for the warning

Me too, let’s see who finishes first lol)

it was definitely hard to get into it, what with all the world-building and weird terms. but it is enjoyable after you get over the hump
