The clockwork man, was built of wire and tin
His eyes shone bright in the night
Bereft of soul and cast without a skin
He shambled, and cried a plaintive plight

3.14 acres of enclosed space, and still barely enough to support a crew of eight people. I think OP is going to need a bigger bag of plants.
- Comment on I hacked mars! 2 weeks ago:
Remember how Biosphere 2 went so badly that the crew nearly starved to death, but no one bothered doing a Biosphere 3? That might be a good step before attempting long-term Moon or Mars missions.

Maybe it’s like Toy Story. Batman figure just found out he’s a toy, drank a bunch of Jäger, and then reverted to the dormant state because someone was looking.

That was when they replaced all the birds with bird-shaped drones. People think it was for surveillance, but it was actually to contain the Bermuda Triangle threat.

- Comment on What would happen to the Earth if it got booped by a giant asteroid going super slowly? 3 months ago:
Imagine a large rock, suspended by helicopters a few miles up in the air.
Now drop the rock. How fast is it going when it hits the ground?
The same thing is true for a rock falling from space, but more so. Regardless of initial conditions: if it ever contacts the ground, it will be moving at least 11 kilometers per second.

To be clear, this glassware isn’t for the lab worker, it’s for chiral molecules that are left-handed or right-handed. As explained by famous chemist Walter White. /s

Where are they getting batteries for $115/kWh? Going market rate for LiFePO3 seems to be at least 10 times that.

Yes, they were organic dyes. At the time, those were the only kind. Maybe it’s gotten better over the years.

This is terrible advice. Writable DVDs degrade quickly, even if they’re stored away from sunlight and heat. Every single one of my burned DVDs from more than s few years back is completely unreadable.
- Comment on My foot found the worst Lego that can be stepped on. 5 months ago:
In this case, I knew it because of a “botanicals” set that I assembled recently.
Those sets use a lot of pieces in creative ways, often in unusual colors. In particularly obscure cases, like this crown or the rose petals that were originally from a car fender, the manual will include a brief trivia callout.
I remembered the callout, and that was enough to find it by keyword on the fan database sites.
