Middle of the page they have specific manufacturer instructions to follow.

I see that’s a perfectly normal ingredient list. Maybe the glass wasn’t cleaned? That’s so weird about the sweet though.

I’ve had some 8% fruit yeasted beers, and they do taste like juice though.

Sweet beer?

What brand was it. Beer is bitter, not sweet unless you add some fruit or it’s mixed beer with juice something else.

Beer should be barley (wheat/rice/etc), hops, water, and yeast. That’s it.

Did you seriously think that was a realistic usecase? They provided an example, don’t focus on the details, they are irrelevant to the overall point about progress.

You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t force it to drink.

If you’re gonna ignore established standards, and misinterpret what I’m saying because you think you’re correct, you aren’t gonna learn anything from that place of ignorance.

And insult the creators of the genres by making their craft out to be “pew pew lasers and spaceships?”, there’s a reason why the genres were created, if we just want to make things as simple as easy as possible, just call everything fiction, no need to describe it more. I’m sure you can understand how that’s a terrible idea…? Why even have the genres, if you’re just gonna ignore them anyways?

Sure, let’s let everything be meaningless so nothing matters, that’s what you want with the world?

There’s also reasons why there is standards and they don’t just let anyone publish stories in magazines and other established prints. Editors exist so they can separate the chaff from the wheat. If you’re just gonna ignore these standards. It shouldn’t be a shock when you’re rejected.

You provided nothing to show you have any merit to decide what is and isn’t right, the fact that you’re parading around you’re an author means nothing. Especially if you don’t respect the established covenants of writing particular genres.

If you self publish, of course you can just incorrectly refer to your stuff as whatever you want, especially so it just sells.

That’s the combining with the fantasy genre, but everything in the slow and otherwise WAS explained with physics. Not well in the show, but the books yeah.

You’re also ignoring the key basis of the story being the technology and other parts. That’s not gonna help you comprehend it.

Magic, no how wonderfully explained, is not an extension of our universe.

I told you my sources?

You’re given the oversimplified modern version for mass appeal. That’s not how libraries and other places categorize the books.

We do have that genre? Science fantasy, that was covered already… you really aren’t given your ale dmucj merit here.

What are the differences than?

These are the differences according to multiple veterans (literary the OG inventors of them…) of Sci fi and Fantasy writing. As well as definitions available on every library as well as Wikipedia and other available sources. We are just supposed to take your word over the proven professionals?

What are your qualifications other than self pronounced author? Usually when someone just interjects that they are lawyer, or a doctor, or other professional, without providing a detailed response, is just making stuff up.

Because the difference surely isn’t “it has spaceships”, that’s a gross oversimplification.

They aren’t, they are the foundational and distinguishing differences between the scifi and fantasy genres.

Fantasy doesn’t explain the “magic” or the “tech” it’s all handwaved and is just there as part of the story.

Scifi on the other hand, the technology is the foundation of the story, and the rest is built off of that.

Both can use parts of each other, but how the story is built is which dictates which is the primary category it should be in.

If you can’t understand something, and someone is trying to explain it, does that make them gatekeeping?

So using those non arbitrary definitions, it’s pretty easy to see DCC is fantasy, along with Star Trek and wars

Foundation, expanse, Robots, they all fall into the other.

The expanse is scifi, it uses believable extensions of our knowledge, they still have thrust mass, they still have deceleration. Thats probably one of the best examples to use as as scifi actually.

Haven’t consumed the culture.

And if you’ve read Foundations by Asimov and his other books, it’s all explained how the weirdness is an extension of current knowledge (60 years ago). Asimov created the genre, and he’s written nothing that’s fantasy.

None of those use handwaving to explain the “technology”.

Unlike DCC, unlike Star Wars, unlike Star Trek, unlike MCU, etc.

Read Asimovs definitions on what the difference between fantasy and scifi, he’s the one that pioneered the genre and was editor on countless magazines and other written media.

Star Trek is just a space fantasy. Klingons are orcs, Vulcans are elves, teleporters are magic, phasers are wands, and telekinesis is spells. It’s how the stories are told and material within that dictates its genre, not a few aspects like “technology”. Technology has never meant “scifi” technology exists in regular fiction and even non-fiction too. Space ships are part of our current history, a story with it doesn’t become “sci-fi” just for that reason.

It’s a fantasy in a space setting. Not a scifi in xxx setting.

For “true” scifi the science and technology are supposed to be a believable extension of our universe, not some magical hand waving away fantasy mumbojumbo. So most of your suggestions fall into the fantasy aspect, most of those can only be explained by hand waving, there’s no basis on reality.

For FTL, it can be wormholes, instead of magic engines.

I mean it’s almost taken my hand off a few times… it’s really windy so I tensioned the spring more than it should be.

Doesn’t need to be anything fancy. My one out front for now I just dug a hole out of the top soil to put 6” of gravel down. Couple boards to disperse the weight and raise it up more.

Cheaper than other building materials, but still pricey, it’s over double what it was when I started 5 years ago.

For reference, one 2”x8” that’s 10’ long costs $20 and gets me 3 boards at 39”. That’ll cover 2’ of pathway.

So 20’ of pathway would need 10 boards at $200(ish), while the stone would need 1.1 cubic yards. The stone can be anywhere from $50-$300 a yard depending on type.

Concrete without doing a base is $350 a cubic yard.

Also, in Canada, so not much different than USA for pricing.

The pathway going the other way.

And the flower beds to hold the dirt and sod while I move stuff around.

I used some Sika foampost replacement and Fast2k as well, I used these instead of trying to mix concrete with my current issues, I figured it was worth the try, it was only 20% more than bags of readymix. I wouldn’t used it for a fence or deck, but I think for garden beds it’s perfectly fine.

I don’t know how to articulate my point, so I’m a going to insult everyone else.

Okay buddy.

You’re better off using the “9 out of 10 dentists agree” analogy I think.

How: with a hammer.

When: as it’s needed, not subjective.

Wheter: redundant, repetitive, covered by when.
