I'm Neurodiverse. don't jump to your own conclusion over my intent. if it don't make sense or contradicts. I struggle being limited on characters in tweet

Impressive accomplishment. Someday we'll be able to do this for mammals.
Colossal Biosciences®@colossal
BREAKTHROUGH: Colossal scientists hatched healthy chicks from artificial eggs. No shells. No hens. Just bioengineered eggs that breathe like the real thing. This could help bring back giant extinct birds like the South Island giant moa, whose eggs were ~80x a chicken’s. (1/10)

What's another name for an RV?
. . .
A vroom with a view.

Ok, this is SO COOL!
They're going to need to incorporate the world map for Elëa, though. :D
Eragon France@EragonActuFR
Je viens de découvrir un site qui nous fait découvrir l'histoire du Cycle de l'Héritage d'un point de vue géographique! 🗺️ Voici le lien ci-dessous et vous pourrez faire de même avec l'univers du Seigneur des Anneaux. 👇 #Eragon @paolini wander-lore.com

So @AxelSauerwald continues to DELIVER with these illustrations for our Special Edition Box Set of
@paolini's THE INHERITANCE CYCLE!
Link in our bio! Almost 14k pre-launch followers signed up already!
AND ONE LAST IMPORTANT REMINDER BELOW!

Nice foothills for the Beors. :D
Massimo@Rainmaker1973
Breathtaking golden hour view of the Himalayas

One thing I'd love to see more fan art of (or do more drawings of myself) are the elven buildings. I've always loved the idea of structures grown right out of the trees.
English
@James89349764 @CScott____ @TheTilehurstEnd @ElmParkRoyals I do agree but we can also then hire someone else who messes it up even worse 🤷 least Leam has the familiarity of the club/set up/facilities
English
@Brisingrthrone @CScott____ @TheTilehurstEnd @ElmParkRoyals Problem is if we give him a couple months, even October November that is potentially another season wasted if the form continues. Brave decision is to be decisive and make a change now. It may not work but at least we can give it a go
English
Whilst some in the ownership group were trying to claim it’s just an ‘small online %’ that wanted LR out, they now have the two biggest platforms in the fanbase, @TheTilehurstEnd & @ElmParkRoyals calling for him to go. They need to realise the issue is far bigger! #ReadingFC

Lol. Nah, I'm no actor. Besides, I wouldn't cast myself in the role.
(currently laid up with a pinched nerve in my back in any case. Good for writing; bad for lifting)

@paolini Given what you shared about your physical training, why don't you just play Roran. I bet the makeup department can make you look age appropriate ;P

So, uh ... just sent in the manuscript for Tales 2 to my editor. It's not completely done, but done enough for her to start working. Exciting. :D
English
Let's just say May is make or break for the series.

@paolini Feel free to share a bit more :D

@marcspark50 @flightradar24 They don't...if the autopilot enters "roll hold" it'll simply try maintain altitude and "roll angle". If the pilots noticed the early effects of hypoxia and tried to turn back. That could explain this. As for the 2 hours it's a simple fact that It continues til fuel exhaustion
English
@flightradar24 Thinking hypoxia too, but how can an unconscious pilot keep those circles so tight and equally spaced for so long
English
Bolivian investigators are probing yesterday’s crash of a Cessna 550 Citation Bravo registered CP-3243. The aircraft lost contact with air traffic control about 30 minutes after takeoff and orbited for 2 hours before crashing. Sadly both pilots were killed.

I mean, most of it is sitting and staring at a computer/notebook/typewriter.

@U2ez_Mercmatt @ReadingFC @LincolnCity_FC Firstly, should let you know it's Monday, secondly Lincoln stopped just about everything we tried. How can blame us, for the opponents who as way clear at the top of the table.. for being very good defensively?
English
@ReadingFC @LincolnCity_FC I'm done I'm fucking done reading fc you're a dead club and losing so many fans it's pathetic to watch every Saturday EVERY Saturday
Every other team play actual football meanwhile we are the only team who play long ball crap every day it's done boyzz retire the club
English
It ends in defeat at the Select Car Leasing Stadium
Congratulations to our opponents @LincolnCity_FC who secure promotion to the Sky Bet Championship.

TEAM NEWS 🚨
1 change to the Starting XI as Finley Burns comes in at centre back.
English
@I_am_Adz @ReadingFC I'd agree it was probably a soft pen, but that's on the ref. I'd say the ref didn't have the best day either. Along with several players for both sides. But to say cheating? That's a stretch
English
@ReadingFC God you guys are shit. Deserved that for your awful cheating tactics.

@Dravarden @twirlywirly68 @lildobe @paolini But it was rebuilt with magic so could others have been?
English
@twirlywirly68 @lildobe @paolini are you?
Paolini is implying that Isidar Mithrim is more than a gem, the tweet above took it as "it's an eldunarí", which is a gemstone-like thing inside a dragon that houses their consciousness/soul
English
Continental plates causing uplift, but the Urgal goddess Rahna the Huntress raised the mountains when fleeing the great dragon. You need big mountains to stop a big dragon. (Ever wonder where Isidar Mithrim came from?)
riley pearson@Scrublord96
@paolini What kind of seismic event caused this? The himalayas where formed when the Indian subcontinent slaned into Asia so does that mean The Beors where created buy two continental plates crashing together? Im no expert but this seams like plausible explanation
English
@paolini I read too deep and over analyse but mountain height it usually limited on a planet for a number of factors. So is there some sort of magic which causes them to be so large? I did a quick math on some things you mentioned and it suggested only ~28000ft would be poss without
English
@paolini So assuming The maths correct, at 28000ft, planetary conditions at least on earth, the air would be unbreathable for any length of time. I think it works out at ~7.2% oxygen at the altitude. I can't remember if Eragon used magic to breathe. But what's the O2 saturation of Elëa
English
Ok, let's do this:
Elëa is 80% of the radius of Earth (roughly 3170.6 miles vs 3963.9 miles).
Given clear viewing conditions, curvature of Earth becomes visible around 35,000 feet.
Viewing height scales with planetary radius because seeing the curve is a matter of visual geometry and angular perception.
Thus, for a planet with R = 0.8 × Earth’s radius, the equivalent height is simply 0.8 × Earth’s threshold:
0.8 × 35,000 ft ≈ 28,000 ft/5.3 miles
(or 0.8 × 10.7 km ≈ 8.5 km)
In short, shrink the planet by 20% and the altitude needed to spot the curve shrinks by the same factor.
Assuming I did my math right, of course.
Jake@JakeMid86
@paolini, how far up were Eragon and Saphira when they discovered the curvature of the world?
