The purchasing power of Guyane is not good.

Well, at least he's happy.  I could think of a lot worse ways for him to be spending his time.

Making a suit from his room mate's skin.

Well, creative handicrafts are never really a waste of time.

This is real life, not dwarf fortress.

Well, in real life making a suit out of your roommate's skin would take a lot of skill.  I mean, how many people even know how to flay and tan skin?

Tell me about it.  To really do it you need like 3 or 4 different people.  It's also not very elastic and tears really easily  To top it off, you don't really convince anyone.  Everyone just stops and stares.  Sometimes there is screaming.  Total waste of three weeks of work.

But that's the opposite of what Malthus said. He said it isn't a waste of time.

Yesterday I saw a guy maybe 30-35 wearing a light tan robe with sleeves about to the elbow. Does anyone have any idea what that was about? (I'm assuming it was some sort of religious thing)

It's fucking bad ass. Have you seen the video Nasa's Goddar center made?

The craziest thing about solar flare is how slow they are.

Everytime I listen to K-Pop, I feel so wrong after but I can't help it. I find it totally hilarious.

Yup, posted a link.

It's moving at hundreds of kilometers per second. It just looks slow because of the distance involved.

 If you think about it enough, Mongers even sounds like a name from The Wind in the Willows.

  I am not sure how to best go about getting the values of Ratty, the more sensible hobbits of the Shire and Winnie the Pooh onto the world-ship, but it is a needful thing. Somewhere lies a pastoral world of fluffy sheep and sluggish streams in which the teachings of these luminaries can give form to a perfect dream.

Edit: I had not before now consulted myself on the matter of how excellent a Gondolier Ratty would make. A fusion of venice and the shire is now the working model for the ideal colony.

If you ever found such a world, I bet you'd be ready to give it up within a matter of weeks.

[Lettow77]

 Even giving up in such a world would be wonderfully pleasant. How exalting, to be the first among wraiths to keep the peace of some gentle mere or verdant copse! Who would not be at peace with such an amenable end to their adventure?
