Grace alienated his academic peers through his adamance that water was not necessary for life to evolve.

He thought Astrophage would validate his theory until he discovered they were mostly made of water.

After my first read of the book, my perception was that Rocky became proof that water is not necessary for life, ostensibly vindicating Grace through the eyes of the scientific community.

But having just listened to the book after reading it, I realized that Rocky does rely on Water in his body by turning it into steam, which helps him move around.

So my question is… does Grace‘s theory that water is optional for life to evolve remain unproven? 

Gosh I love this book.

A neighbor on my street is doing a major remodel. The crew shows up at around 645am in the morning, congregates noisily in the street, and starts loud construction with power tools at 7am exactly.

Is this compliant with the state/county Shelter in place regulations? I can’t find a clear answer online. To whom do I report this?

WTF people. I hope I’m wrong about him.

I’ve noticed a large uptick in how much earthquake-related paid advertising I’m seeing, across all platforms (Cable, social media, etc.). Some PSA type stuff, some insurance ads, some retrofit ads.

Anyone else noticing this? Why now?

Is there a way to access a user’s post history / profile aside transcribing their username into u/_____ ?

It would be great if we could simply tap a username, both in comments and post title.
