So, tell me, what is on your mind at the moment? (Part 1)

Started thinking about some examples of stupidly wealthy careers and cultures in fiction. Here are two good ones.

Thanks for explaining. :sweat_smile:

A new bedroom set. The one I saw was expensive all together, but so beautiful.
I could use a new bedroom set, in my personal opinion. I suppose I have to wait until I get a place of my own or win some money through the lottery.

Or get a piece one by one.

Just remembered, on the subject of no fuel efficiency, during the Cold War SAC’s* B-52 squadrons needed a means of getting all their bombers in the air and far away from the airbase ASAP. There was a safe assumption that the SAC* sites would be primary targets for any initial Soviet missile strikes.

Since the B-52s did not have afterburners, they needed another means of creating the same result. The solution was maximum turbo-fan compression (and maximum thrust) during take-off, and water-injection to keep the turbo-fans just below melting temperature. There was the added bonus of water vapor in the jet exhaust creating a higher exhaust density and extra thrust, even when the water vapor also resulted in un-burnt fuel in the exhaust (black smoke)…Not that the 50’s / 60’s era turbo-fans were pinnacle examples of efficiency to begin with…

*SAC = Strategic Air Command.

my beta readers and I disagree on the number of semicolons that should be in my book.

I think the number should be zero, because i hate semicolons. and they think the number should be slightly more than zero.

I don’t even use semicolons.
I am always in the first drafting stage.

I love semi-colons! Like all punctuation, they’re very useful in the right place. But there are writers who use way too many…

there places semicolons belong. however, i prefer to re-write all those places so that they don’t exist.

How this teensy little vial costs over $30k

Had the opportunity to handle it at the practice site when I learned this

Ah, but that’s a discounted price! Normally a 5 mL bottle is a ridiculous $76k. But here are some coupons to reduce it to merely outrageous: (>‿◠):v:

For that price it’d better cure everything wrong with me, including freckles and ingrown toenails. (♯^.^ღ)
