I got the audiobook of Encounters: Experiences with Nonhuman Intelligences whose author (Diana Pasulka) was talking in that one Vox podcast posted recently. When I listen to some, I'll weigh in on how it is. https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250879578/encounters

we aren't going to know what to do with the aliens until they show themselves. at which point, it becomes trivially easy to know what to do: if they are hot babes, you seduce them if they're ugly, you kick their asses if they're grey, you smoke them out if they're wearing backwards baseball caps, you give them bread (then smoke them out)

Pasulka just seems kinda dumb lol I haven't read her books but I enjoy the podcast interviews I've listened to with her. She seems to be on the more level headed side of the UAP influencer community. I'm about halfway through that long rear end mars rover thing and yeah whoever wrote it has real knowledge on how a lot of the minutiae of these systems work so for a LARP it has a ton of effort put into it to be internally consistent, at least so far.

Nichael posted:what do you mean by this the technical details in terms of what the rovers are capable of, the hardware on board and the real practical steps you'd go through to debug them all read like someone who absolutely has experience in embedded software debugging. probably a larp, but a larp that's fantastic to read because it rings so true in all the mundane details. e: I thought this was posted before so I was posting it more as accepted lore and kind of tongue in cheek more than anything!

so cool thing about Dyson spheres: if you have an iris aperture and the means to rotate the sphere, you got yourself a literal Death Star. so maybe we found pictures of works in progress or the bones of an interstellar war fought on incomprehensible scales.

If you enclose the star but leave a hole you can get the star to start jetting in a direction and drag the rest of us with it

D-Pad posted:If you like him I would strongly suggest you watch his regular series Survivorman. It's much better than his bigfoot series was. Yeah for sure. I watch people like Geowizard, 1bike1world, a couple of even more obscure UK 'hiking and camping' channels on youtube anyway, and this just seems like an enormous feast of that kinda content but all around the world. Definitely gonna get into him Honestly all that stuff has inspired me to make baby steps towards hiking and cyclig and camping myself. poo poo's cool. Weather's getting nicer here again, gonna camp on the moors (and signal for aliens) Nichael posted:I'm not familiar with her work prior to today, but hopefully this one's good. Not to be a buzz kill but I thought it was rubbish. American Cosmic is, as said, interesting enough for the most part, but I found Encounters to contain virtually nothing notable. Just a bunch of technoworship wankery, mostly But make your own mind up! Barry Foster has issued a correction as of 10:36 on May 12, 2024 |

Nuclearmonkee posted:No, but we're pretty sure that you can't transmit information via entanglement FTL. no but you could send out a bunch of entangled devices into the galaxy, and then later on "observe" their state which would have the non-local effect of decohering the remote device. like a one-way telephone that reads Wikipedia to you

Dozed in the sun this afternoon listening to Sasquatch Chronicles Googled for good episodes (the one I was listening to the guy was either a liar or quite troubled, I didn't believe him at all). Can highly recommend episode 515, 'I Shouldn't Be Alive'. I may just be showing my bias here cause she's a brit but her story is amazing and terrifying Edit it's quite short too. The other guy was explaining everything and going into unreasonable detail, made him sound like a fantasist. This lady is straight, to the point, comes to no conclusions, offers few speculations, and sounds pretty traumatised

pancake rabbit posted:i do, and i also remember this article from 2018 that says 6 other solar observatories were shut down around the same time A while back, but the given story about the one in New Mexico is weird on its face, and concerned child porn being downloaded and distributed in a workplace for whatever reason.
