  • I read a sci fi book where they used Ksec, Msec, etc. for all the time references - meant as a little background flavor but it was interesting to me just how much trying to parse it while I read just threw off my whole train of thought. Far more so than adjusting to metric spatial or temperature references.








  • Not a terrible play, but it has a BIG downside you might not be considering.

    99.99% of the corn grown first world, and a lot of other food crops, are sterile hybrid varieties that don’t readily reseed themselves (Monsanto and company HATE when farmers don’t have to buy seed every year).

    Once there is no more harvesting or maintenance on stockpile equipment, that supply will dwindle faster than you might expect.
