To be fair, English food culture was better before two world wars and the rationing they required (and the Labour government in the late 1940s shooting themselves in the foot by extending rationing long past the point where it was needed) ruined everything. Victorian and Edwardian food (for the upper classes) was pretty nice.I guess if English food was worse than it is today, people would go to Indian restaurants instead of going to... Indian restaurants.
I listed off two types of shock, not just one. And I wasn't wrong when I said that shock isn't a pain response -- pain can cause neurogenic shock through nervous system overload (that much is understood even if we don't quite get how it works), and indeed neurogenic shock is the variation I said was most likely. But pain does not directly cause the physiological effects of shock. Systemic hypoxia does that, and we understand systemic hypoxia pretty well. The effects of shock are consistent no matter how it happens, and it takes time between the onset of hypoxia and loss of consciousness.
How much at this point should be questionable.
Neither of which were the person who actually created the Tattoo, so would be of questionable reliability in concerns to it.
Wrong tattoo's, you are thinking of soul forming one's not the Warding.
The Warding Tattoo was both done and invented solely by Constantine.
Basically, because the bleed is a purely comics thing while quantum has an actual physics meaning.
If you're trying to refer to real-world physics, the most robust theories we have right now say that even at the quantum level that mass-energy is conserved within the context of a four-dimensional spacetime. If there's an exception, it's not at the quantum scale, it's at the other end -- the relativistic scale. Conservation of mass-energy holds in special relativity, but there are nitpicky edge cases in the math where it's not clear if it's necessarily true in general relativity across the whole of the universe. (And when I say "nitpicky" I mean it's oddball considerations like "is it really considered 'conserved' if some mass were to travel back in time?" or "if the universe is actually infinite is it even a meaningful thing to define?" rather than there being any hypothetical cases of direct local violation.)
What an odd word. I was gonna make a correction, but a quick Google search shows it to be right.
It's very specifically the Heart of a White Dwarf Star.
Maintaining a passive detection aura, even though it's unlikely to find them? Sensible comfort, at least. Good to see OL working to make up for his loss of inventory.
And if they don't work, there's always plain cold-forged iron to try. I assume that'd have some effect on the Sheeda... Besides the effect a railgun slug has on anything unprotected.
I mean, how big is it, car-sized? But it's probably not a good idea to mix technologies... Could result in all manner of space wedgies.
As long as you don't go too nuts. One thing I've learnt from Taylor Varga: EDM is massively heavy. As in near neutronium levels. Unless you use magic to mess with its mass. Assuming both are the same kind.
Yeah... Atom's got the edge in smallest size, but at least Doll-man's doesn't require a chunk of weird matter to use. And you'd be amazed where you can get into when you're the size of a High-Grade Gunpla with the strength of twenty men...
There's also the consideration of working with it. EDM is not particularly easy to tool. In TV, it's usually created in the necessary shapes needed.
Well, they might make more, but they'd try to keep it quiet. They only deep-sixed the Garrick formula project because it constantly failed to produce reliable results...
Stupid, stupid military logic. "Oh, our weapons are about to be useless? Better use them to wipe out half of humanity now!" Thank goodness wiser minds prevailed...
Of course, even they've had moments of madness in the comics... I doubt they'd pull the same shit here, no reason to do so.
And not interfering in internal or international affairs. Too bad it'd take some major disaster to put humanity into a mindset where they'd accept that level of teamwork...
Sensible logic. No doubt he'll conveniently 'forget' to mention this discussion to his Chinese handlers. No point tempting them...
Eminently sensible. Now if only guys like him were in charge of the world...
Which the participating countries would be yelling about from minute one. So unless the UN can manage to hammer out something, or someone makes a private equivalent...
Well, at least someone hasn't suffered aesop amnesia concerning Earth's interplanetary security.
Oh, sure, just drop that bomb on him.
Typical OL.For a given definition of human, anyway. What with their own cultivation of an elvish image.
Probably something to be thankful for. It would be highly unpleasant, I bet.
After all, you don't need to know someone's history to kill them. I'd honestly be amazed if the Sheeda even cared about it, beyond a cursory backstory.
I figure there was a period (or multiple periods) of intensive gene-modding throughout their history. They might well have been engineered for their fey appearance, while keeping that intercompatibility with other 'humans' for convenience.
Hmm... Marking a checkpoint? Calling ahead via the metaphysical equivalent of ringing a doorbell?
Might save a couple of days, though there's still the matter of the Sheeda critters attacking travellers to worry about.

The things you end up talking about on long drives. Amusing to hear EDM mentioned after reading Tayor Varga... I can't remember, have we even seen the Atom in story yet? I don't feel like doing another archive crawl right now, I've already got like five or six story threads open for reading across the Big Three...
