Game Prompt: The Phone
There's this theater in the City that's been renovated and updated over the years. It was built at the turn of the century and it has been in operation for over a hundred years. Lots of things have changed with every project to "modernize" the theater. Except for one thing: A intercom phon...

Re: Fan Fic: Shenanigans
For those curious, Liang Tai is based on a real person, Lin Guoer. She's a remarkable young woman that is a mechanical genius at fixing machines with less tools than most other folks on YouTube. Here's a short of her fixing a generator, including rewinding the stator for it. https://www.youtube.com/...

New Fomalhaut discoveries by JWST
So it looks like the space around Fomalhaut is even more complex than we thought. It's a young star, only 400 MY old, any planets would be undergoing bombardment from the various asteroids littering the system. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fomalhaut#Debris_disks_and_suspected_planet It's surrounded...

Re: How do you keep the Roman Empire alive for 1500 years?
I did another pass at Bard AI and made sure to include Julius Caesar. In an alternate history, Spartacus managed to take Rome and become the first emperor of Rome by following these steps: 1. He gathered a large army of slaves and gladiators who were willing to fight for their freedom. 2. He defeate...

Re: How do you keep the Roman Empire alive for 1500 years?
I decide to have Bard.ai write up how Spartacus could have become the emperor of Rome: In an alternative history, Spartacus could have managed to take Rome and become the first emperor of Rome in a number of ways. Here are a few possibilities: He could have won the Battle of the Metaurus. In the rea...

How do you keep the Roman Empire alive for 1500 years?
So the title says it all: How does one keep the Empire of Rome around for 1,500 years? The snark answer is: "Just don't let if fall..." My snark reply is: "Which fall of Rome are you referring to?"A case can be made that when Diocletian split the empire in two, into the Eastern R...
