Goron eyes

I know what you meant, but I choose to ignore that:

"Old money" vs. "New money" is a particularly American concept, though.

Your nervous system has finite bandwidth. The extra movement and sensation signals drown out the "need to pee" signal, making it seem less urgent. It's also why we rub the area around minor injuries to relieve pain.

It is a theory to explain how genie knows about things like automobiles and 20th century movie stars. It posits that these are only anachronisms if the story is set in the past, as commonly assumed. But setting it in the far distant future eliminates the problem. It also explains the apparent "magic" in the world as remnants of a fallen high-tech civilization.

Rajah the tiger? Genetic engineered. Magic carpet? Hover tech. Buried stop signs (video game only)? Ancient relic. It's really quite surprising how well this theory fits.

You mean like... speaking to someone in the same room? While they're looking at you? With their eyes?!

Goofy at the bottom

From the phrasing and context, I was expecting something else when I clicked.

 

This is the one at MedTek, not the one in Nuka World that always works. Only took 2,555.6 hours of playtime over 11 years.

 
 

I've been listening to X-Minus-One episodes for the last few days and am really starting to appreciate the radio play format. Some of the stories are pretty dated, being from the 40's and 50's, but a lot of them still hold up if you're a little forgiving on the science details.

 
 
 
 
 
 

Odd that they never re-filled the whale tank

 
 

It would have included loops of Star Trek sound effects, but Paramount lawyers said no.
