She was a nurse, so it would be a hell of a way to create demand for her speciality.

Scholastic Era books smelled the best apparently 20 comments

The first series is pretty great, but the later series are where the meat of the story truly is. I'd say it's akin to how the Harry Potter books start out kinda childish and fantastical, but evolve into a much deeper, more mature story as time goes on.
By the second series they even learn how to worldbuild beyond the current book.

It's like Narnia single handedly manifested Turkish Delight into existence. Which it practically did for a lot of kids.

It's also worth considering if you send 50+ people on a year long voyage, even if you pick a bunch of ideal, healthy candidates, there are GOING to be some medical complications. That's literally unavoidable.
Between accidents, human error, human physiology, limited treatment options, and shear probability, someone will probably not make it there alive.

I’m convinced that all the dinosaurs never went extinct they just went it Australia 6 comments

The way I thought it worked is venom potency is judged by how much a single dose could do. One dose would be measured as the average venom released during one bite or sting in a lab setting. In practice however, it's very likely that they will get thrown off or bitten or something before they can get that full dosage into a target (predator or prey), so whatever tiny amount they do get into them needs to be lethal. Therefor, while a full dose may be able to kill something like 40 adult humans, in practice it would only get out maybe 1/10 of that in an actual attack.
Still powerful, but makes more sense than hyper excessive evolution.

Aquatic Scuba Vampires (the aquatic part seems redundant) 7 comments
aphelion · 2 years ago
Interestingly, the vampires from Twilight actually come pretty close to this. Especially in Midnight Sun, and The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner, you see them basically just being "people" with supernatural abilities.
Things like, speed reading bookstores at a time, playing mega 8 board chess (and cheating with foresight), going on a "hiking" trip to the other side of the continent, etc.
The underwater thing comes up as well, but only in the context of using it to throw off trackers, or as a simple obstacle (see: the english channel).

Since it's caused by refraction, it will always face the eye of the beholder. It's like those 2D sprites in video games that always turn to face you, but physics.
