Once you're an adult, unless you have family members that are writers, editors, or publishers, it's best not to share until you have a contact to celebrate. Also, family members who aren't writers, editors, or publishers make lousy beta readers.
Tell us about sasparilla, plz.
It's interesting that Root Beer tastes so prominently of mint to you OP. I think most people perceive the taste differently. I most strongly taste caramel in root beer.
TIL that neutron stars make heavy elements. I had no idea.
Do you mean you have visual dreams but in the daytime you have aphantasia? Cool! I didn't know that was possible!
Whoa. So you get feel and motion in your dreams, but not sight or sound? I knew people who were surprised I could smell things in my dreams and I've read about people who dream in black and white.
How many dream senses do you get?
I think formless ideas occur when driving and thinking about driving in wordless concepts and muscle memory.
Soundless words is driving by a sign, reading "Eat at Joe's" as 3 individual words, but the "inner voice" reading the words only makes a "sound" in your head if you think about it having a sound.
Do you ever catch yourself "thinking out loud" during a task? I wonder if that's more common for people with little or no inner voice.
You're right, this is 100% untrue. Some donut shops are open 24 hrs because many shops make donuts all night to be eaten during the day.
Do you think in formless ideas or soundless words? Cause I get one when I'm doing something and the other when I'm reading things.
According to the Wikipedia article it was common practice at the time. Who knows how many years it would have continued if they haven't gotten into trouble by trying to extend this to local federal employees.
With wind and solar, the energy is free after paying the startup costs. And if you can't use it right away any excess energy is lost. 30% efficiency storing something that was free to create might break even.
The creator of IFLScience has an inner voice that sounds like Patrick Stewart. A person in an article I read had 4 different voices depending on the type of things they were thinking about. Some people have no inner voice at all, or an inner voice only when they think about having an inner voice. Everybody is different.
Anaduralia is auditory anaphatasia, which is not the same thing as having no inner voice, despite what some articles say.
Some people lack an inner voice, but can still imagine sounds. People like this can temporarily force themselves to have an inner voice.
What the heck are your dreams like?
The cat was yeeted so hard that it changed color!
Bruce Springsteen said it in 1978:
Poor man wanna be rich, rich man wanna be king
And a king ain't satisfied till he rules over everything
Like a 2019 decision by an ultra-low-level elections official to use butterfly ballots in one single district in Florida made GWB president.
I'm working on a spy comic, inspired by james bond and metal gear solid, with pulpy villains, gadgets, and stealth.
I essentially need a reason for the spy to end up within a high security facility.
Please consider having the main character work for any country other than the US or UK, which have been done to death.
So it has to be a high tech weapon thingy in a high security facility? Maybe a batch of stealth cruise missiles ready to be launched at some unusual concentration of heads of state?
Does the hero have to defuse something?
Why make it big, though? Idk, there is something elegant about the idea of a spy needing to stop something very small,
This. Too damned many stories are about the end of the world.
IIRC, they contacted out their engineering work, and then ignored advice they were given from the people they hired.
So, that means the product was made by pirates? Or for pirates?
A driver's license doesn't make you a good driver, but it does prove you meet the minimum requirements to drive a car. A degree is the same thing.
I've met some pretty damned smart people without college degrees, and more than a few PhDs who were total numbskulls.
Nothing at all is wrong about it. Making every character an expert in the history of their field is a mistake.
Example: most dentists have a general understanding of dental history, but very few dentists are experts on dental history.
I've repeatedly seen this trope where the author needs to introduce some historical detail and, for example, the safe cracker expert somehow knows the childhood home town of the inventor of a spring used in one brand of mid-19th century combination locks.
