  • My lucid dreams are unspeakably realistic, comprehensively and indistinguishable from reality. It’s like waking up each night into a horrible dystopia.

    In my nightmares, there’s a global autocracy, a kind of maximalism of pain which forces people into mass slavery, but it’s not even according to their whims, it’s simply a price for existing.

    I’d go on but it’s too spooky and sad.

    The rest of the time life’s pretty good.





  • There’s a non zero chance that Mars is a remnant of the planetary impact that occured to the Earth ~ 3.5 BYA. The issue is that’s a really loose hypothesis, but the speculation is that Theia - which impacted Gaia (old Earth) was an ice planet / water world, which gave us most of our oceans.

    Evidence of water evaporation on Mars therefore makes sense, as a catastrophic effect (such as planetary impact) would indeed cause the atmosphere to boil off, leaving behind these dry lakes and riverbeds.

    I personally haven’t spent enough time on Mars to make a substantial conclusion, there wasn’t enough time to do any science between the sheer insanity of basic survival on a planet that seems uniquely designed to kill you and crush your spirit before doing so.

    I totally approve of your analysis however, and it’s proof why geologists deserve a seat on the interstellar jumpships :3








  • Neat. It definitely looks like a BMW X5 from the side profile, with some of face lines cleaned up/changed.

    Front wheel drive seems iffy on a car of that weight, as well as range is lacking – 40 and 60 kWh won’t do 300 miles on a car that weighs 5,500 lbs, that’s just ignoring basic physics - they’ll do 120-160 miles if you’re lucky and drive entirely slip-streaming behind trucks, you need at least a 120-150 kWh battery for a high profile SUV (with a higher drag coefficient) to attain reasonable range.

    No other analytical complaints besides those - the interior looks great.

    Curious to see how much this costs at MSRP
