so those men have to feed them into the tube? this is a full-time job? I mean the fish aren’t on anyone else’s schedule, they’re going to show up at the dam whenever they damn well please (heh heh.) so there are people there to accommodate them? given this, it must furthermore be assumed that the people work in shifts, 24/7.
it boggles the mind.

Well, I’m POed because I used something like this in a novel I’ve been writing and I thought it was original with me. Of course I came up with it about 20 years ago . . . About 4500 drafts ago.

Yeah, but remember it’s mostly for salmon and other migratory fish, so they know about when the season is going to start. Since they’re fish caught for food and a major part of the ecosystem, I’m sure people are keeping close watch.
I did like the comment on Twitter about bears learning to station themselves at the ends of the tubes, though.

It’s funny how Heart of Darkness managed to convey the fluid and exotic deep past of Britain from when it was on the frontier of a great empire, as well as the greedy, murdering nationalism that was consuming that country at the time.

maybe better for another thread, but did you have any specific examples in mind? ( i kind of agree with you, just curious which your pet peeves are )
it’s been so interesting to me to learn who was behind some key techniques and algorithms.( so many women were involved with cg in the early days.)
i learned all my computer programming by breaking into college libraries instead of… say… actually at a college - so my experience might differ. but for a whole bunch of stuff - people act as if software algorithms come from the aether.
i think maybe that leads to people feeling they can easily reinvent the wheel, when actually there was a lot of thought behind some seemingly unimportant decisions

I have to admit, I’d seen some lovely interiors made from shipping containers, and was really into it until I considered the ceiling height limit.

I think I might want want to watch the movie again. And, read the books.
When I was a kid, our Mom read all the Oz books to us. The first time she read The Wizard of Oz, I was maybe 5 or 6. When she got to the part with the Wizard taking off without Dorothy, I was inconsolable, absolutely hysterical with worry. I was super emotionally attached to the outcome. She had to finish the rest of book that night, just so I would go to sleep.

Ooof.
That’s quite a bit of book to get through, especially compared to how the movies go.

It does seem a good medium for CYOA stories. My only suggestion for improvement is that, as it is, most of the “bad ending” branches don’t go very deep.

I knew what you meant but my brain kept interpreting it as Cover Your Own Ass.
So, hey, how’s everyone else’s job going.
