@retrieval4558 thanks! Please lend a hand getting is started and post a couple of your favorite pieces of SciFi content. We have a book list and art list starting which is a good place to start.
@yuunikki Nice, this is a great trove. I thought initially that they only had single issues, but it looks like there is pretty good selection of full story lines. Thanks for replying.
@whale I wonder if their drive still hosts on IPFS. While most crypto is a crock of shit, IPFS actually seems like a legitimate use case for building out distributed encrypted data storage, kind of like TOR for storage. Kind of a shame they were shooting themselves in the foot for many users by mentioning the buzz words.
Kill 6 Billion Demons is an absolute classic. Good enought to have made it into print trade paperbacks, but still free online. The visual style and wild world building are truly a joy to behold. You also get a bit of the sparky web comic flavor while still holding together an excellent long term story arc with serious plot.

@someguy3 Portland, Oregon has the largest urban park in the country, Forest Park, but it is forested an not a garden park. Also it is on the edge of the city instead of Central.

@Zerlyna@Zerlyna because desserts are places with very low precipitation, which. Is correlated with but not solely caused by high temperatures. Due to proximity to the ocean and existing wind patterns much of the tropics experiences high rainfall.
The obvious exception is the Sahara which is landlocked for the most part and no longer favored by the Jetstream or other wind patterns, so it has a short and low volume monsoon rainy season. Once upon a time there was a green Sahara though, with better winds and good rains.
@MargotRobbie As a creative on strike I would have thought you would have felt some solidarity with the content creators who make 50% of the ad revenue you are withholding from them by blocking ads.
I pay for premium because I can't stand ads but I do want to support creators with a share of my subscription, even though I know it is less than they would have made if I watched the ads. I thought maybe you would feel the same given you aren't hurting for money either.
I know it is not a perfect system, but I do appreciate the content creators I watch enough to want them get payed. I subscribe to Nebula too for this reason, though I admit I should use it more.
@fbmac This article in defense of Citizendium.org , an alternative to Wikipedia with author identity verification, is a great anecdotal rundown of why this is a bad idea. Give Citizendium a try, I'm not saying it is perfect but it is a bit better.
Refined sucrose is not an essential nutrient, carbohydrates may be though even that is disputed these days the body refines glucose from any number of complex carbohydrates and even non-carb sources. In a natural environment sucrose would be consumed seasonally at a relatively low percentage of total calories when fruits were available, for much of the year sucrose would make up a very low percentage of calories consumed.
@hedge because they aren't using the political compass. Two or three political dimensions with only two words describing them leads to meaningless labeling.
