Well, they probably consider them to belong to the "homo superior" species.

Amazing research. But where to place the clasical clip (two wires in a plastic wrap)?

Yes, yes indeed. Remove brown people, enslave black people. That's the plan.

Call for independence from everything GOP and Trump on July 4th?

George Lucas is the perfect example what happens when you don't do world building. The Star Wars universe is basically just retcons stacked onto other retcons.

And I am a firm believer that even short stories in a fantasy or SciFi setting don't work without at least a certain amount of world building.

The number of fantasy and SciFi stories where the author thought they could get away without thinking their world through and which ended up badly is amazingly high.

That is part of world building, too. If your fantasy world needs more explaining than storytelling, something is seriously wrong.

Why do you imagine that the,post is about reading?

First of all, he should drop Python for anything resource intensive as such a simulation. And then think about how to optimize the algorithm.

We are using Thunderbird for AGES. We basically switched over from the original "Mozilla Mail" client that we had used before, and don't ask what we used before that...

But we always had our own email addresses since the 1990s, and our own domain since the 2000s.

You are an adult (mostly), not a child/toddler. Yes, there are sources.

That at least would make him a bit useful if he actually did it, but I would not trust him to pull this through.

I was not talking about adults, but children. Especially of toddlers, who put a lot of things into their mouths. There have been confirmed deaths of toddlers from chewing on cigarette butts, but I'm to lazy to dig out references just for your enterteinment.

Indeed, they are working better on a non-congested rail system.

If a person is armed and masked and does not identify itself, it is most likely a terrorist and a threat to the public.

If moral character was a real issue, Trump would have lost his citizenship long ago. Together with most politicians in Washington DC.

"Terrorism" as in "Taxing the rich"?

Well, that happened to Germany back in the 1930s/40s. Before that, about 1/3 of Nobel Prizes went to German scientists.

"There are no 'rules' for fantasy"

Wrong. To write good Fantasy (of SciFi), you have to go through a process called "World Building" where you lay down the rules of your world. Properly done, the amount of World Building exceeds the actual works by far. It is absolutely necessary to create a core of inner logic to the story. You are not bound by the rules of our world, yes, but you are bound by the rule of consistency. If you violate those, you automatically write crap Fantasy (or SciFi).

Funny, though, that e.g. many literature teachers / professors don't even know about the idea of World Building.

That's what I consider a lose-lose scenario. The farms and food processing sites will seriously suffer, but their owners will probably double down with slogans like "Why did Biden drive away our workers?"

While punctuality is not the German trains strong point, this is mostly due to congestion and construction sites. The trains as such are remarkably reliable.
