While we're on the subject of our account name, in case anyone is interested, we are indeed named after the (in?)famous Subsidized Merchant of The Traveller Adventure. 400 tons of ragged excitement in Aramis subsector.
@oldyzach@Mountain_Navy He absolutely captured it... those moments of severe tension as you listened to the propellers of the surface ships chasing you!
Can't pretend not to be delighted with this feedback on a recent article:
"It is an outstanding article and it gave me many things to think about in a science fiction project I am writing. Many thanks!"
@whodamoose@Alex_Ambroz Yes, as the British Library do and I have to (sadly) do. By size. For space reasons. You probably do it too in actual fact and *then* by some rough categories.
I know no one personally who actually doesn't use size as their primary facet . ('Cept maybe the colour monsters)
@Gumdrop844@Object_Zero_@ross_baglin X has clearly date stamped Object Zero's post as 7 hours ago, not 200+ years ago, so what part of "still afloat today" makes my response irrelevant?
@Object_Zero_@ross_baglin Ummm, not afloat. It's in drydock. And arguably not the actual ship of the time as so much has been replaced over the years.
But still a great half day visit if you're in the area (currently under major restoration). I work about half a mile from her.
@MishaBurnett@NotJohnDaker I did a chapter a day during the first covid lockdown. That way it was never 'too much'. 135 days. But yes, I learned a lot about whales and whaling.
@bpardoe870@TaraBull Met my Swedish friend's new boyfriend this summer. When he said we were going to do just that with a 7m boat I thought we'd spend an hour faffing around.
Nope, not even five minutes from driving up to casting off. Including a reverse around a 90° turn due to a boat coming out!

@jpmccarthyjr@YiorgiosMatheos I was hoping my reMarkable might be the sweet spot between the two, but haven't had a chance to try it with solo games yet.
