Blueberries have nearly the same sugar, water, and acid content, and also mechanical strength, as tomatoes. You can substitute tomatoes out for blueberries almost everywhere, whether on pizza, in pasta, in an omelet, and even on a sandwich.

I would die on Rheasilvia (which shares the name of the crater it sits in). That mountain on Vesta is jealous of the comfortable thick atmosphere at the summit of Olympus Mons, and is about equally tall.

I do not have sufficient anarchy in my soul to disobey the sign. Obedience is my only option.

Red is the light wavelength 800nm. Orange is the light wavelength 600nm. Yellow is 570nm. Green is 550nm. Blue is 450nm. Indigo is 390nm. Violet is a mix of red and indigo. Yes that is in fact an extremely narrow bandwidth for yellow, compared with the very gradual transitions from red or blue...

Don't go down the rabbit hole. Nothing in wonderland makes sense until either you eat the mushroom that one side makes you shrink and the other side makes you giant, or you are dying of mercury poisoning like a medieval hat merchant. Instead you should go to college and take an art history class.

Before anyone else finds out, I'd put it in a trashcan and seal it with concrete, then drive to Minnesota and dump it in one of the like 2 dozen lakes named Mud Lake. I will never speak of the matter again.

I think its a good thing if prospective authors are curious about their possible audience. Are they asking questions effectively? Well, no. But that's just a normal part of being a new author. Let them be newbies and figure out how better to ask for advice at their own pace; don't bash them just...

Overlord is too grim for my preference. But "A new nation announces its presence to the age of war! Though small in number they are exceptionally powerful!" is an interesting enough narrative that I watched the first two seasons of the anime before I got sick of it.

Theta Wren; it sounds like it could belong to an angle measurement grandmaster.

Odd. I cannot determine if this resurrection is spam. On one hand, TemporarilyHuman's reply is "necroing" an old thread by adding nothing meaningful to the conversation. On the other, the whole topic is about necroid threads, which makes any resurrection on-topic automatically?

We may have a severe case of definition divergence. It looks like several of us have wildly different ideas as to what counts as an antagonist. To my usual understanding of the word, anything that both provides a source of conflict to the MC, and is able to determine a course of action with...

Stories have a lot of different structural elements. Plot, characters, worldbuilding, humor, grammar, 'poetry', etc. Different readers have different thresholds for each of these that must be met before the story has even a chance to be enjoyable for them. For example, I don't find stories with...

I am not in a degree program right now, so literally everything is an elective.

I'm setting up my schedule for the fall, but I am having trouble deciding. What do you think? Malcom X & MLK is religion; "Electronics lab" and "Electricity and Magnetism" are physics; "Instrumental Analysis" is chemistry, "Probabilistic Methods" is math, and "Static Engineering" is engineering...

Here we have an example that makes sense. But it wouldn't make a good story. Clearly, we have a plot where a believable protagonist makes for a bad story. No wonder revenge regressions seem dull.

My personal opinion is that human minds are too big to fit into a single personality. Any single person's personality will look dramatically different at various places, times, physical conditions, from different angles, in differently colored rooms, depending on the direction of the wind...

Although various research has repeatedly shown that dressing properly for a court date will affect the ruling, this seems to not be the case if its Judge Judy's courtroom. An analysis of her rulings finds no bias for properly dressed defendants.

My goodness, how did I miss that?

Hmm... It seems like the humor whiffed past me this time. I don't understand the joke(s) in the first segment at all. It reads like simple friendly banter, though Leera seems a little clingy. She might be showing off a little to get little sister's attention? But where is the joke? For the...
