Only tangentially related, but I have a question for the medical types here:
When a big organ like a lung is removed, what fills up the empty space? Do such people walk around making squelching noises or what?

A Void
I've currently got terminal lung cancer. The tumor has eaten half of my lung so I have a massive 'void' that fills up with fluid. Last tine they drained it they took 2.5 litres of fluid from it.

Yeah it does look a bit dull. But still, Clancy Brown.
I might give it a go when it drops under a tenner, just to see what the story is like, but it does seem to be a mix of walking simulator and quick time events.
I’m more rayguns than spells, but still prefer something with a bit more action to it. Sometimes something more relaxed is nice. I should probably play Obduction again; it’s been long enough for me to forget the puzzles.

I'll freely offer mine.
This is a Because We Can concept, not something useful or necessary, or beneficial to anyone or anything.
A nuclear fusion reactor and an MRI scanner with LCD screens attached to the sides is just scifi for the sake of scifi. Are imaginary fusion reactors that much lighter than actual fission reactors? How often do we expect the MRI scanner to be used? Who is operating it? why don't they deserve radiation shielding?
I see no reason, (other than SAFETY) why you couldn't put a submarine or aircraft carrier style fission reactor on a very large aircraft, if it was a serious concept. It would be great for exploring/exploiting Venus, or the gas giants. Requiring fusion is just an admission of how unlikely this concept is.
The jumbo jet docking with the big vertical shaft at the front section is an utterly suicidal idea. The dock needs to be somewhere else, like, on an aircraft carrier deck, or preferably on the ground at a fucking airport.
The external elevators are cute, but stupidly unsafe. They introduce stupid aerodynamic problems to solve that an internal elevator with a window to the outside simply wouldn't.
Realistically the battery storage would limit the safe operational range of this nuclear deathtrap, because it doesn't look like it's going to glide very far, or land terribly softly, with no engine power. Also I wouldn't expect many countries to be okay with this giant nuclear terrorism magnet in their airspace.
Fuck anyone rich enough to consider paying for this, too.

Fusion reactors aren't filled with tonnes of uranium.
Just for the sake of argument. There's also probably a good engineering why the military never really tried to make a nuclear plane; probably now that we have solar powered drones and satellite imaging there's just no need for a big plane that can stay up for years.
But TBH this just looks like a prototype for the Axiom to me. The way things are going it might not be such a bad idea.

Nuclear propulsion is not the same thing as a nuclear reactor powering electric motors (like in submarines and aircraft carriers).
The main problem with nuclear propulsion is that it spits out radioactive exhaust, poisoning everything in its path. So obviously it was reimagined as a doomsday weapon:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supersonic_Low_Altitude_Missile
The Americans stopped researching this, because they might be mad but they're not crazy.
The Russians however...

Saw this pop up in a few newsfeeds this morning, where they seem to be translating Piquet's "neguinho" as the N word
I reckon this is a bit of a mistranslation, having lived in brasil for a few years. It's seldom used as an epithet, can be used affectionately or most commonly means something similar to "naughty boy" and in this sense is used for white or black people and is fairly tame. it's a bit like how australians use the word "bastard", depending entirely on context. the one thing they never mean is that you actually are born out of wedlock.
If brazilians wanted to be racist, they wouldnt use it. They'd use "preto" (dark or black ), generally a no no and a reversal of the way americans use the descriptors, or mocaco ("monkey") if they want to start a fight. Niguinha, nega and negao are pretty commonplace terms, often self-identifying ones. I'm not fussed about defending Piquet at all, just thought it might be interesting

bored, I recently watched some 40 minute video analysing whether the Tom Bombadil character was a maia, a valar, or even the god/illuvater manifestation
the one theory they didn't examine was that tolkien had written some frankly pretty average poetry and wanted to shoehorn it into his book. people forget sometimes it's a fantasy invention about talking trees and magic rings, rather than some perfectly coherent history of real events.

Amateurs!
The character is based on a little toy figure from the Netherlands that one of his kids had. And he said in one of his letters that Tom is there to represent the spirit of the vanishing countryside.
You can find the published collection of JRRT's letters free online, easily enough. He was forever changing his mind about stuff, and writing new versions. Not like George Lucas though - once he'd published, he only ever made one change - to make The Hobbit line up with the plot of his sequel. No, he just grumbled about free will and Catholicism, and whether orcs had souls.

IS or WAS - the Wikipedia-based celebrity mortality game
I made this!
Enjoy that moment of surprise when you discover that bloke from the telly — who you thought had died during the great celebrity cull of 2016 — is still kicking about and looking feisty.

Can you cheat by killing or defrosting people, or even more insanely, editing their Wiki page?

I wouldn't consider that cheating - that sounds like clever and strategic play to me.

This is great.
I’m embarrassed to admit that my best category is easily British TV.

Excellent stuff.
Not sure that Michael Schumacher is 'still stomping around' though.
