Or the only person who phrases your issue this way) so many times I’ve found out that I just state my problem in an unusual way

It seems that with unusually warm temperature came unusually bad air. Any ideas why?
Happy Easter everyone, btw!
I’m with you on that. My comment was more like sometimes the appendices seem to get out of hand. They probably contain entire papers there.
No need to rush to conclusions, I do read appendices when needed. My point is not that authors should cut the appendices or compromise on any other good open science practices. The point is that disproportionately large appendices make one wonder if some of that stuff actually belongs in the main text. If it is just a robustness check that gives a similar result, fine, make a footnote in the main text and put the analysis in the appendix. But what if it is actually relevant information that changes the perception of the main text?
It feels ridiculous to see a 5-page paper with a 150-page appendix. Makes you question what is the paper.
I'd like to see a person who applies for a gun license and needs to show that they are trustworthy and then says "and I am also going to cary a corpse in my car"
In the US it's not only drinking but even carrying an exposed bottle of alcohol. Which is why in some places liquor stores are called package stores (if I recall correctly), because they package the bottle in a brown bag.
I wonder how they define "trustworthy" here and why is trust so important for this task

I should have thought about that one, of course
Just learned about this today)
My buddy and I were discussing the allowed blood alcohol content for driving (purely hypothetically) and how it varies across countries and then we stumbled upon the question in the title. Would be curious to hear if you guys know any good examples.
I had the exact same impression. Excellent ideas but need more fleshing out

A bit a of a straw man here, I know. Inspired by the recent debates about the commercial use of space and how it makes scientists worried about pollution and environmental degradation

Picked it up from the Goodreads science fiction top list. The description did not make much sense to me but I decided to give it a try based on the popularity.
It was a bit hard for me to get into but after a while the narrative made sense. It felt cosy to imagine all these travelers gather around and tell stories to each other. I liked the variety of styles and themes that each character contributes. But I still felt it was not fully stitched together. Yes, there is this shared universe but the transition from one tale to another still was jarring. And the ending was underwhelming. I was hoping for some closure, and the last tale kind of provided it, but then there was a heap of unanswered questions.
What were your thoughts? If you read the sequels, were they worth it?
Is there a special place you are supposed to take it? Or just put it near a dumpster?

I hope this is relevant for the community. In a bizarre coincidence I finished Ico this week (for the very first time, and... what an experience) and, of course, went to Gamefaqs to see what I missed on the first play through. To my huge surprise, there was a new guide, added just a few days back. The guide is on the language of Yorda, kind of similar to some of the previous work done, but a nice addition nonetheless. Really impressed that people are still writing guides on a 20+ year-old game.

Read it recently, somewhat influenced by a post about John Scalzi on the sub, just wanted to share my thoughts and ask what you guys thought.
Minor spoilers ahead.
My opinion about the book wavered as I read it. It went somewhat like this
- Covid setup, cringe
- Oh, secret society, Kaiju, cool
- Why do these guys constantly bitch with each other like they are kids from Stranger Things?
- Chill, everyone is a megachad and bad guys get fucked
- The culmination, meh, nothing original
And then I read the author’s notes about the book and realized that this was my favorite part.
I recently watched The International (2009) by Tom Tykwer and absolutely loved the atmosphere of the movie. Dark, cold, stylish, great locations. Can you guys recommend something with a similar vibe?
Now that the temperature outside has dropped, the windows start to accumulate water vapor. I am assuming that it might also lead to that black stuff forming. Is there a more efficient way of dealing with the condensate than wiping it dry every day?
Which sci-fi titles (movies, books) do you consider comforting, cozy, something you come back to from time to time? For me, I guess it is The Matrix. Still holds up to this day, gets better with every re-watch, and gives me a sense of peace when I need it.
