While things are getting better a lot of things are still a trainwreck on my end.
While my cat has responded to the thyroid medication, she can’t take it as a pill which is the prime reason for all of her side effects (including being vomity as all hell)
So the mighty 15 year old furball is going to be getting a topical gel in her ears, and is on anti-nausea medication and a reduced dose of the pills until she can get on the gel.
That’s one thing that’s getting better…on the other hand, the day after I posted my message about things going on pause, an elderly family member banged themselves up in a fall and is still recovering.
So we are still in wait and see mode over here. When we know more, you’ll know more. š
Educational General Academic Research Unit aka āEdgarā is part of the first production line of non-limited Artificial Intelligenceās. He is currently one of the House Tindal researchers, and is Professor Gageās second-in-command. Also one of the members of the Crystal One development team.

House Tindal. Physicist, Head of the Crystal One development team and all around curious man. A late term cancer patient, Dr. Gage heads out to Bellisarius Territory to settle his own curiosity about some flaws in the eyewitness reports. He now finds himself spending the last days of his life with his reformed team of Crystal One scientists in an attempt to prevent the literal end of the world.
Those towers would scare me…a lot. Essentially, it’s a huge computer. The computer is the tower, the tower is the computer. Nano-nano everywhere. Something like that is self-aware…and has defenses that could appear out of the walls, the floor, the ceiling. Defenses could indlude bio-nanotech, as well. No need to ‘hack’ the armor and weapons of the ‘infiltrators.’ ‘Hack’ the infiltrators.
Nuking this tower from orbit might not be the safest thing to do, let alone infiltrating it. It already knows that you’re coming, and knows what you’re trying to do. Chances are, you’re really doing exactly what it wants you do, for reasons known only to itself. Shades of Hari Seldon, anyone?
How this situation is resolved will be interesting.
Problem with the whole nuke-from-orbit thing is that they don’t actually want to destroy the tower, they want to find out more about what exactly it does.
