@RevivedThoughts Follow up question: can you count having visited a country if the bus you were on drove through it for an hour but you never got off the bus in that country?

@meangrade @potatoslav I'm from Virginia, I was just in central France, and I said "this reminds me a lot of Virginia" several times lol

[Christyna Moore @ChristynaUnless]

@prettygirlfebe You should absolutely call them out for that. If they didn't want you to bring it up, they shouldn't have done it ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

@heemeeraa @itskhatereads Unfortunately it is very real 😭 I was so shocked at how badly the exposition (and most of the rest of the book) was done

@ponensmodermode @morallawwithin Get a vacuum chamber and cold weld them with a lot less pushing

@Simonjenkin @chaandmami What an odd (but very good!) book

[Christyna Moore @ChristynaUnless]

@spbwe11_2k @lesbian_syrax Summer is defined by the time between the summer solstice (in June in the northern hemisphere) and the autumnal equinox (in September), not by which months have the most daylight. There's a delayed effect between increased sunlight and increased temperature

@ClemmieRagatha Wait I'm in France currently, is that why my search results haven't been pulling up AI since I've been here??

[Christyna Moore @ChristynaUnless]

(France day 1; most of the trip will not be in Paris, but I had to see the Eiffel tower while I'm in the city)

@faeriejaimee @SACRIFlClUM Fantasy? Magical realism, maybe? It's hard to describe much without giving it away

[Christyna Moore @ChristynaUnless]

@bugbugbugg I graded for an online class this semester, got sooo many *very* obviously AI submissions. It's honestly offensive, because they clearly think I'm stupid. I'm not stupid! I'm getting a PhD!

[Christyna Moore @ChristynaUnless]

@DCod3d_ @akutiberu @TamaraLuvss My local library does. We're just a smallish Midwest town.

@wikimapper @Viscountpost Guarana?? That's Brazilian, and really hard to find in the US (but really good!)

[Christyna Moore @ChristynaUnless]

@SketchesbyBoze Not just any paper, but one*you're an author on*! Why in the world wouldn't you, at the bare minimum, read over a publication that will have your name and reputation attached?

@defirst_warrior @sairaspooks The part where Viggo Mortensen breaks his toe kicking an orc helmet. Sharing this piece of trivia with a first time watcher is some bizarre rite of passage.

[Christyna Moore @ChristynaUnless]

Ocean waves hitting the shore generate seismic waves. Cars driving down the road generate seismic waves. Earthquakes famously generate seismic waves, but even those are mostly too small to feel.

[Christyna Moore @ChristynaUnless]

While we're complaining about scientific adjectives, I hate that "seismic" means large or significant when there are literally seismic waves moving through the Earth all the time, but most are far too small to feel. "Seismic" isn't a size, it's a type of energy propagation.

[zeronelite @Zeronelite]

Isn't it odd how we say "meteoric rise" even though meteors are specifically defined by their falling?

@6LOD6 @Arrrghonaut @RealPostFolder Costco basically always does 5 days/week for hourly employees. Might not be the same 5 days every week, but you always get two days off.

[Christyna Moore @ChristynaUnless]

@po1983 @shesbonky Yeah. I grew up in Virginia, it was everywhere in schools and such. No one ever treated it as weird, so we never thought it was weird.
