Hello! I'm a geologist-miner-writer-grad student! By day, I consider copper minerals and by night, I move my little OCs around. I love systems and how things function, which often leads to late-night rambles. I love chatting with people! If you have any questions, comments, or just want to say Hi, feel free to send a message!

"it's difficult to identify the processing costs of the asteroid"
Damn, I wonder if it's because you've been huffing too long on bulk geochemistry's huge bong.
mining is very simple
u have a mineral. there's shit in the mineral that u want. You see how much of the mineral u have. You figure out how much money the mineral can get u. Then you separate that mineral from everything else. And then u break down the mineral until you have the element u want.
genius strategy. we've been doing it since the bronze age.
STOP WRITING ASTEROID ECONOMICS PAPERS THAT DON'T IDENTIFY THE TARGET MINERAL. I HATE YOU ALL. YOU'RE ALL SO STUPID.
I'm so fucking pissed at this point that people are looking at asteroids monetarily without knowing what FUCKING mineral the valuable shit is hosted in.
yeah barbara your chondrite has 800 ppm palladium in it. WHERE. WHAT MINERAL AM I SUPPOSED TO TARGET TO GET IT OUT. WHICH DICK DO I SUCK TO GET THE MONEY.
STOP GIVING ME BULK GEOCHEMISTRY DATA. I'LL KILL SOMEBODY.
WHERE IS THE MISSING PALLADIUM. IS IT IN THE CHROMITE? IS IT IN THE SILICATES. I'M GOING TO BEAT ALL OF YOU TO DEATH WITH A CHAIR
You know the thing that pisses me off most about getting datasets from papers is that you can't copy a table in a PDF directly into Excel to continue work and/or analyze results from different authors. This is why we need Tumblr to be the next PDF.
physicists: think they know enough to be an authority in other fields
chemists: don't think they know enough to be an authority in other fields
biologists: aren't even sure they know enough to be an authority in their own firld
mathematicians: don't understand why you seem to think they'd ever want to leave the beautiful and pure realm of numbers and have anything to do with any other field

I love random Sunless Sea lore, like the evil sequencer bell that lives just outside of London that yanks out your soul when you ring it.
a new reality tv show called So you think you can write Doctor Who
twelve episodes, twelve contestants - a mix of annoying middle aged sci fi authors, fan fic authors and random people off the street
a variety of against the clock writing tasks, big finish scripts, ability to interact with actors without shouting at them and challenges where you have no budget or doctor for an episode

this is how you find the new doctor who showrunner

doesn't it piss you off that you have to find something to eat every single day. every one of them. just every day. you gotta eat something
A German regional court has ruled that Google is directly liable for the content of its AI search overviews. According to the court, previou
Let’s fucking go
This is HUGE.
1. The court holds Google responsible for statements made by its AI, considering them Google's statements (search engines have limited liability for results in their engine as they're the words of other sites/companies/people), meaning when their AI lies/hallucinates they're liable for the defamation/harm resulting from those statements.
2. Google's defense that customers are generally aware of the lack of reliability and are responsible for fact checking was dismissed. As the court pointed out, that would "significantly diminish" AI Search's stated purpose and it can't be distinguished from Google's business practices/statements as a search tool.
3. Studies have found about 91% of Google's everyday AI responses are accurate, leaving millions of searches per HOUR with potential liability for falsehoods. 56% of correct responses weren't supported by the sources the AI listed. Both of which mean Google is now liable for a LOT more AI "errors."
4. Google was held liable for 80% of court costs in this case and this precedent is expected to reverberate around the world. This is a massive shift from the 3rd-party search provider role Google has previously played and it comes right as they've tied ALL searches to their AI search.
TL;DR Google reeeeeally stepped in it this time.
honestly "oracle that nobody believes" is such a solid trope. imagine trying to convince anybody in 2006 what the next two decades was gonna look like
Trying to write sex scenes is so aggravating because honestly describing sex is pretty boring. It's mostly just people putting bits of themselves on or inside other people's bits so you run into a lot of "they walked to another room" type problems where you can get caught up in just describing where everyone's limbs and shit are. What really makes smut interesting and hot, in my opinion at least, is sensory description but that's also hard because you'll be sitting there trying to find a new way to say "they were feeling sexual pleasure and it felt pretty good". Then you also have to figure out how to write dialogue that doesn't sound completely ridiculous and hackneyed. Really makes you want to just write "they boned down real good and it was totally hot trust me, it was definitely the kind of thing you'd want to jerk your shit to," and have done with it.
