It's that time of year
  • Holy shit. TIL.

    Wallace ended up buying a William Shatner Star Trek mask from a costume shop for under two dollars. To remove the human element of the mask, Wallace widened the eye holes and got rid of the side-burns and distinctive eyebrows. The mask was then spray-painted, transforming it into the emotionless figure that fans now know so well.

  • Perhaps. I was thinking in the last 1-2 years. Maybe it was that long ago.

  • Who was the other famous old country singer who died recently? I want to say he even resembled Kristofferson a bit.

  • Clueless about Biology
  • Wouldn't Jabba being 'stupid as fuck' and making erroneous claims about nature be the less convoluted answer here? Bioengineering, canon or not, sounds like the more complicated explanation.

  • Clueless about Biology
  • Sarlac that lost the ability to grow 'roots' and instead worked out venom and energy storage (fat and muscle) would outcompete and supplant the sarlacs still producing energetically-expensive, overly-complicated stasis bellies.

    What happens if they momentarily fail to keep their meals alive, do they starve or become poisoned by the rotting meat? Do they have issues keeping a varied diet alive? How do they maintain a net positive energy balance after producing all that is required to keep organisms alive? Why not stun them and stash them, like wasps and spiders? Why not fatten up like -gestures broadly at all life-. Fat requires very little maintenance.

    Could one, in theory, rescue one's friends were they trapped in a sarlac?

    Sounds like an organism that would quickly be out of business were there any competition at all.

    edit: How do they handle the waste produced by the meals-in-stasis?

    4 billion years of fixing inorganic carbon in the biosphere. Sometimes mistakes O2 for CO2. Not as fast as some enzymes, but very abundant. Here, have some phosphoglycerates about it.
