She's signing how many fucks she doesn't have to give about Jardin's feelings about her silent schtick.

I wonder what would happen to the modern world if all our satellites were suddenly destroyed? Anything reliant on satellite GPS to function would be severely hampered. And anything reliant on satellite imagery would effectively be blinded to anything new since the last good image was received. Gran...

The other would be a "carbon planet"; a terrestrial world formed from a proplyd that was carbon-rich and oxygen-poor. It would be similar in structure to a terrestrial world, with a metal core and rocky mantle, but with a surface of diamonds and silicon carbides, and an atmosphere and hydrosphere (...

I like how you make a insulting statement instead of actually proving anything. I am sure I get things wrong, happy to have them pointed out, it furthers discussion. You had a view point, you now got emotional when your viewpoint was challenged, you even made a strawman argument of a mech running o...

Humans have lower ground pressure not higher then tanks. Even listed on Wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_pressure From that exact same wiki page: Note: The pressures for adult human male and horse are for standing still position. A walking human will exert more than double his standing pre...

It would be amusing if humans were not just psi-deaf, but rather they were the psi equivalent of a radio receiver tuned to the wrong frequency range. And trying to forcibly probe one just "tunes" them into being able to hear the wavelength of the person doing the probing from there on out....whether...

weirdly enough, LEO did not produce that as translation.... Is cock-and-bull story a widely recognized term in the bigger English speaking countries? It's approaching archaic/outdated status, but a good chunk of people over 30 or so will recognize that idiom here in the U.S. Don't be surprised if t...

Plus if you have the tech to make mechs, you probably have enough tech to make power armor for infantry with combat support drones that would allow for superior flexibility in operations (including urban terrain) with a far lower burden on logistics.

Growing up on a desert planet understandably has made her thirsty.

Alex just has to poke the bear, doesn't he?

I think Jardin was gonna say we dont drink it from the teat.

Just wait until he explains cheese to them.

Yeah anything anise flavored like black licorice is just vile in strong enough concentrations. One of the few flavorings that will literally make me puke. Hell just imagining the smell makes me nauseous. And what I read about the versions made overseas does not give me faith in its edibility there ...

Can't be licorice That smells like death AND tastes like death. Yeah anything anise flavored like black licorice is just vile in strong enough concentrations. One of the few flavorings that will literally make me puke. Hell just imagining the smell makes me nauseous. And what I read about the versi...

I know it wouldn't lead to as interesting a topic as each species' homeworld, I would also curious if the Loroi haven't invented any kind of artificial milk. (baby formula) Stands to reason that they would have something like that. I always thought that wet nursing would be common since all of the ...

Yeah some things once set, aren't going away easily even if the reason that they were originally selected for is no longer relevant. Hell, humans still have an appendix, despite the frequent problems that those can have. So an optic gland whose secretions cause the parent organism to die *after* rep...

By the way, what about squids and octopuses? More manipulators than humans with very fine control. Or the small rodents (like rats and mice) or squirrels? They look so cute when they handle seeds and nuts with their little hands... Well, like I said, cephalopods would be good candidates were it not...

The horror when they realize how the dairy industry works. Or potentially given Blue/Orange morality... inspired . hi hi You could suspect that at a certain tech level, livestock is simply not efficient anymore. Beryl might know such things only from history lessons. If I recall correctly, even whe...

True, it would be more in line with "acceptable side effect" if so.

Nope. I cannot imagine that (skin) contact would cause her physical discomfort beyond what Loroi would usually feel. After all, close quarters combat for example is something to be expected in her field of service, or physically detaining unruly Loroi in her line of work as a security officer. It s...

"...or maybe she is an outsider." Wonder if the implants have an effect on the normal Loroi aversion to touching casually - could they possibly make accidental skin contact very uncomfortable to nigh painful for her? So Fireblade disliked the probe attempt on Alex as much as he did? It would explai...
