Started thinking about some examples of stupidly wealthy careers and cultures in fiction. Here are two good ones.
Thanks for explaining.
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.
I’m drawing a guy’s Dragon Ball OC.
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.
what up ww, i can’t sleep
The fact that I actually want to edit Project Succession once I am finished…
Don’t know if I want to wait till I am finished.
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.
good, they are ugly.
that’s the most fun stage to be in.
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: (>‿◠)
For that price it’d better cure everything wrong with me, including freckles and ingrown toenails. (♯^.^ღ)
Finishing up Project Succession to May 31.
yep, grew up mentally ill on the internet. i know about the tattoos. i have a tiny bit of extra hate for semicolons because of the tattoos
