There are a lot of pets at Eureka, and I'm glad to see they like Toddler Ro as much as I do.

I call this piece "Solitude and Sorority in the Saunas"

Now, I'm no expert, but surely it would be a good idea to take off your glasses in a sauna? Debby must have forgotten.

I always forget that some of my colonists have cool body tattoos... I should draw them all sometime

Hazrov had a cozy afternoon winding down by watching telly next to the hydroponics basins where we grow our drugs.

Oh no!

Anyway

Clarence is one of my many (18!!) devilsheep that has recently undergone mass sterilization. There were too many of them for their pen, so now we've made sure they will not make any more baby sheep and can concentrate on making devilstrand instead.

Nothing particularly exciting happened today, sorry. But sometimes it's nice to have a relaxing day of red panda nuzzling, relaxing in a sauna, watching TV, and wandering around in confusion.

in Tomorrow's Country were there any further experiments with lithium fluorine hydrogen rockets (youtu.be/KX-0Xw6kkrc), or has it just gotten more and more impractical in comparison to lox and H₂/CH₄/Kerosene? also, have any new propellant technologies emerged?

Strikes, slowdowns, and poor management decisions hold back Duhr's otherwise excellent rail transit network from reaching its full potential. People blame both the guilds and the railroad companies, depending on who they think is responsible for today’s particular delay.

high-tech polity with a strong turborocket lobby that banned all space infrastructure so their affronts to engineering and God could corner the launch market

I love this entire thing—it’s informative, a bit funny, and also just very beautiful artistically.

I gotta say though, the Bucknell Turborocket has just. Horrible feng shui. The obscene performance improvements over traditional rockets aren’t worth having to look at it.

The "dusk chorus" - as evening falls on Mangala, its binary companion's infrastructure belt of orbiting power stations catches the sun, brightening into a ring of stars circling the little Mars analog.

Note the accelerated time here also. Mangala is tidally locked to its huge moon Kahira, and so its rotational period is dictated by the time it takes for the two worlds to circle around each other - about 830 kiloseconds, nine and a half Earth days.

the "relativistic correction not applied" on the DOB on the ID gave me an idea: the issuing agency could make the ID contain a clock so that it tracks proper time so long as the holder keeps it on them. the clock could be something nondigital, like an ampule of tritium embedded in the ID (which could be used to make it glow for easier locating, though keeping radiologicals on something that's meant to stay on your person most of the time is a bad idea.) or some slow diffusion process (e.g. a labyrinthine lead wire with a tip of gold - you sample the age by using x-ray fluorescence to check for how far the gold has diffused along the wire. or merely characterizing the process of outgassing that the plastic exhibits. or tagging a region of the plastic by deuterating it. a lot of these techniques unfortunately have a substantial temperature coefficient)
