You technically do not need more than one part library.
But practically if the single library has a gazillion parts, it will take a long time to find the parts you need. At some point it will take a shorter time to make the part from scratch, which kind of defeats the purpose.
'Scavengers Reign' is one of the best #SciFi#tv shows I've ever seen. HBO –oops, sorry, 'Max'– killing it is so dumb. I don't trust #Netflix much more in this sense, but if the show can have a second life there then so be it. While season 1 was pretty self-contained, I really want to keep exploring this fascinating world.
I know few will care about an unknown story by an unknown author, but goodness, I loved writing about this one! I'm proud of what I wrote. And I think my guest poster did as well.
Flying a drone over this mess... I won't show you the drone itself, because now it's just a sphere. I haven't thought about the design yet. The drone will have a lot of mechanics, I hope... Now there is only movement gameplay and flashlight 🤖😘
I am currently engrossed in reading the Expanse book series. In the universe of these books, humanity's advanced space-faring civilization still grapples with familiar issues like geopolitical tension, inequality, and exploitation.
The arrival of a mysterious new technology ignites intense reactions from governments, individuals, and political ideologies.
In these books, I see many parallels to how people currently interact with AI. #book#scifi
Still working my way through Three-Body, the Chinese TV adaptation of The Three-Body Problem. Sometimes it gets slow but it is so much better than the Netflix version. Especially if you read the book(s). #scifi
#JustFinished Where Peace Is Lost by Valerie Valdes.
Very different from her series starting with Chilling Effect, Where Peace Is Lost is much more serious. It reads as a quest to save a world, a journey or personal forgiveness, romance, and anti-capitalist philosophy. That's a lot to cram into 12 hours. It's all well done though, not seeming patchwork at all. Thus I zoomed through the story in two days.
Valdes delivers a solid book, perhaps leading us to "the further adventure of..."
Rebeccsa Mozo, the narrator, had a handful of mispronouciations that should have been caught by someone. Not enough to be ruinous, but distracting nonetheless. ☹️ Pronouncing buffet as the noun form, for instance, when it was used as the verb form.
@DejahEntendu@bookstodon I loved Where Peace Is Lost by Valerie Valdes. I've read her previous #books and they're enjoyable but for me not as gripping as Peace Lost. I very much hope for sequels!
In the surprisingly bleak “Masquerade” (1941), metamorphic aliens on Mercury’s radiation-blasted surface parrot human actions. Beneath their clownish behavior is a plot, a plot to takedown an Earth corporation. #scifi#sciencefiction
In “Tools” (1942), the unchecked capitalist vastation shifts from Mercury to Venus and a new form of power. Instead of harvesting the sun’s rays as in “Masquerade,” the monopoly Radium, Inc.—which “owns the Solar System, body and soul” (122)–exports shiploads of radium from the Venusian mines harvested by specialized robots with ‘radon brains.' #scifi#sciencefiction
