Passive as in "not aggressive". Some plants are rowdy, and that's life on a Deathworld. Molecular printing is a snobbery thing. It's cheaper to print meats and veg that would otherwise take time

Yep. Entirely our fault for treating it like a panacea when it was new. If we knew then what we know now...

True. If the bacteria are resistant to penicillin, then that can be more trouble than it's worth. But it's still better than nothing at all.

I do try my best <3

Two kind hands should be a philosophy to bring with you IMHO. Thanks for being awesome.

It's annoying, but they have ways of gaining more assets. They despise the CRC too.

They might, but the board of directors is always slow to act. Unfortunately for the forces of freedom, Deregger planets are kind of like cockroaches. Or Daleks if you follow Doctor Who. They have a way

Oh yeah. The entire point is to tell kids that evil can be defeated. I'm tempted to name the impulse to pet dangerous creatures the "Irwin Instinct" but... I might get sued by the family. It

Yeah the datareaders are like tablets. The Handbook is indeed a wiki thing. Some of the more detailed areas are intense.

I can edit, but it flies in the face of the philosophy involved with flash fiction. Once a story's done, it stays done. No going back after I hit 'publish'. I'm streaming the next story on Twitch very

As I keep telling my kids, look at the problem, think about the problem, solve the problem.

Yeah you got it in one. It was a bit of a fight and TBH, I was hoping for suggestions from my audience ;)

There's a reason they shortened it to "Antifa" because if they said the whole words, none of their followers would hate it.

Pretty much yeah. They dared to live as socialists [aka: they have the rule "everyone who can, helps"] and prosper. Otherwise stated, they're not bowing and scraping to the Holy Body Corporate.

Oof. Ow. Glad you're better now. My first encounter with snobbling was when my eldest spawn, Mayhem, ugly cried into my shoulder and wiped his whole face on me. In his defense, he was bab at the time.
