• Reflective metallic silver, like a ball bearing.
• genderless
• a mannequin silhouette
• about the size of a large grape? Like a superball.
• my wooden dining room table, background and all.

The focus seemed to be on picturing the table and ball, and the person pushing it was irrelevant other than to provide motive force, so I didn’t spend any time to fill in their details.

Praying the burned import disc boots up, probably.

have you heard of our lord and saviour Eliezer Yudkovsky?

I have, the weird cult he’s built upn is creepy, and Methods of Rationality is terrible.

Or he could have some clause in the contract that prevents him from bypassing the publisher for profit, or maybe he just doesn’t want the game to disappear and has a clause that lets him give away copies so he’s free and clear. It isn’t necessarily piracy. You asked how he could do this, I’m just spitballing possible answers.

Everything. The adaptations your body has learned to fight other diseases are stored as T-cells. When you need more of that particular kind of thing, your body goes and runs off copies. Measles kills your T-cells, so your body can’t copy the old adaptations, only make blank-slate factory-new ones.

Produce is sold by weight, not taste or nutrition. Grocery store varieties have been selected for weight so they maximize value. That weight is mostly just water, and their taste is crap compared to older heirloom varieties.

Bell peppers need warm temps, full sun, good soil, and take a long time to grow. A lot of backyard gardens aren’t the best conditions for them. Wouldn’t be surprised that the second generation would taste as good without the growing conditions the first gen had.
