  Excerpts from the Melmac Recipe Book From the Geminga Goumand In honour of Melmacian Cat Day, we present these excerpts from the Melmac Recipe Book. Have a happy Melmacian Cat Day. Other than bats, there is not really any indigenous mammals to Araxes. Near the spaceports and settlements with a lot of offworlders, there is inevitably it seems to be an infestation of rodents. Some offworlders have cats as pets. Some become feral. When planning to emigrate offworld, usually seeking adventure either in the Imperium Navy or on a private merchant vessel, sometimes native Araxi try to get acclimated to eating mammalian flesh. Hence, we have a lot of recipes for preparing various rodents, but also cat. Easy cat recipes for first time and inexperienced cat cookers from the Melmac Recipe Book.   Mozzerella Cat Whirl Ingredients • 1 1/2 pounds ground or minced cat • 1 1/2 pounds chopped onions and green peppers • 1/2 cup soft bread crumbs • 1 egg, lightly beat...

Encyclopaedia Galactica – Profanity in the Geminga Sphere and the Tannhauser Domain.

Encyclopaedia Galactica – Profanity in the Geminga Sphere and the Tannhauser Domain. While this is without a doubt not an exhaustive list, it is a good representative sampling. Before we proceed further, you should maybe desensitize yourself to vulgar language: Shazbot! Holy Flurking Schnit! Zarking Fardwarks! E chu ta, Keepuna Kriffing Sith-Spawn Bantha Pootoo sniffing Son of a Kriffing Nerf-Herder! Hezmana, you Grud Grozit Gorram Fracking Frelling Fragging Karking Drokking Crukking Schtako-Sucking Felgercarb Stomm-breath slag-head petaQ-rutting bastiches Belgium ! I seem to be having tremendous difficulty with my lifestyle " Frak ", often " Frack " comes from our refugee friends formerly of the Kobol (Kolob) Colonies, now living as space-hoboes aboard various Battlestars. " Frak " has a very satisfying sound, starts with an "f" and ends with a "k", what’s not to love? Leading with a fricatives and ending with a plo...

The Tau Gateway of Araxes Spice Tea Time Oasis Experience

The Tau Gateway of Araxes Spice Tea Time Oasis Experience The Tau Gateway of The Araxes Spice Tea Time Oasis Experience trains the mind how to control the perception of time. One learns how to create a Time Oasis and with more sharpened senses be able to best appreciate and savor it, entering into another layer of the awareness spectrum. Like how one learns how to look inward while drinking coffee and better being able to note the subtle qualia, one can learn to even better focus their senses and awareness of qualia thru the creation of a Time Oasis. Tea is nearly ideal for exploring the Time Oasis Gateway of the Tau. While tea is in secondary position to Coffee with the Araxi palate, Tea cultivation predates coffee in Araxi culture by several centuries as good quality tea can be cultivated in the lowlands while quality coffee had to wait until terraforming was further along. Tea has about a third of the water usage footprint to grow than coffee, but it is still quite high and is...

Music of the Geminga Sphere

Music of the Geminga Sphere   The music of the Geminga Sphere is diverse. This is only a small sampling: Lowercase Minimalist Ambient Music, Cyborg Chill. Vaporwave subgenre of Hypnagogic Pop Pirate Metal Kawaii Metal   My first exposure to non traditional music was a friend of mine who was minding her own business inventorying PVC pipe with a bunch of Bolians in the Engineering Bay, and the next thing she knew she found herself in a Donna Summer Cover Band https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vBKI3ya-l0     Music of the Geminga Sphere: Lowercase Minimalist Ambient Music Genre   Cyborg Chill.   Instead of dense catchy overwhelming beats and compositions of contemporary music, Lowercase Minimalist Ambient Music is about experiencing sounds drowned out by the auditory clutter of the world.   Lowercase is usually rendered as 'lowercase', but it confuses people when I don’t capitalize it.   Lowercase Minimalist Ambi...

Expanded Theory about Hyperspace and Slipstream.

Expanded Theory about Hyperspace and Slipstream.   This is a long one and there is some very technical material. As I have mentioned before, I mostly do this so I have all of my notes in one place.   We had a working conference about wormholes, slipstream, and hyperspace. Seriously, we actually do these and people actually attend and even participate. Aimelia Wong from Dyson-Yoyodyne, Demotrius from the Combine, Professor Serendipity, A.R.D.R.A. the Navigators, Mr. Tevya from Weyland Yutani. NLynn and myself were in attendance. It was very productive. 1. Background Theory. In 1919 German physicist and mathematician Theodor Kaluza noticed that when he solved Einstein's equations for general relativity using five dimensions instead of four, Maxwell's electromagnetic equations popped right out. The extra dimension added the electromagnetic force to the standard theory of gravity. In 1926, Oskar Klein pointed out that if this dimension was “rolled up” connected back on...
