Q: Why is Dors able to act in this scene?

manoelpqueirozIn Forward the Foundation, there is a pivotal scene involving Dors: My question is why is she able to act upon this in the first place, given the implications?

00:35
@AncientSwordRage I wonder if that's because the question was edited after the question was posted.
@Alex could be. It does feel like a general discussion of astrology and not a coherent argument/answer
00:52
Long-winded, perhaps, but directly tried to address the question of which 12 planets were on it.

Q: Children's novel about a boy and girl who slip back in time to the Roman days in England

Fran GoodeyDecades ago, I read a story where a boy and girl slipped back in time to the Roman days in England. It was the first time travel story I read and fascinated me. The kids knew they were speaking English but it was coming out as Latin. They learned about Roman life in Britain. Can't remember what a...

Q: Superpowered teenaged clones?

Basically a teenage girl learns that her grandfather/caretaker was a scientist who participated in cloning humans and with the help of one of the other scientists hid the clones from the third who was wanting to ...

Q: Where is Sogoria and/or Isseni located at in The Hyborian Age?

OmegacronI'm currently reading the "Queen Sonja" series of comics (by Dynamite, ran from 2010-2012) which depicts Sonja's time on the throne of Sogoria. She rules from the capital city, which is called "Isseni". The comic mentions other locations, such as "Kamala, near the Sogorian Border", as well as "Emora

Q: Actions in Rohan, The Return of the King

LOTRfanI would greatly appreciate the answers to these two related questions which originate from Chapter 2, The Return of the King, Lord of the Rings. Where did Halbarad's army meet Théoden's army? What was Aragorn's original plan for travel before he looked into the stone of Orthanc and decided to go ...

07:15
@Alex I don't think it comes close to addressing the main question: "Why" except with unfounded speculation... As for "which" the answer lists up to 23, but can't name which of those it could be.

Q: What’s the deal with Dunharrow?

LOTRfanWhat is the big deal with Dunharrow. Wouldn’t both Theadon along with the Grey Company and Aragorn want to go straight to either Edoras or Minas Tirith? Chapter 2, Return of the King, Lord of the Rings.

Infinity MilestoneAbout an year ago (I think sometime in October[?]) I was stuck watching an animated series about a fictional football team where they participated in a (again, fictional) football league where all the teams were strong but cheated to increase their chances of winning against the main team. It ha...

Q: I try to remember the short story about astronauts that they cut their hand

DasWeirdAs I remember correctly this story was written by Andre Norton. Purple hand it calls or something like this. They cut their hand except one to drive the spaceship. I can't find anything in Google about this story.

Q: Story about future special forces fighting nano-tech aliens

RB.The main plot of the story is that all the different special forces (SAS, Royal Marines, Delta Force, GSG-9, etc.) are fighting aliens made from a sort of nanotech grey-goo. The alien goo is constantly learning and adapting to the soldiers weapons and tactics so the war is getting harder and hard...

WadeAt a certain point in Episode 6 of Loki, he who remains no longer knows what's going to happen. Up until this point, he (supposedly) knew exactly what was going to happen at each point. But how did he know? How could he dictate what happens? The only method we know of is pruning/resetting branche...

Q: Can anybody identify this painting from Black Widow?

John ChrysostomThis painting is hanging in Dreykov's office in Black Widow... Is this a famous painting? Can anybody identify it? It seems to feature very prominently in the office/scene, so it seemed like it might have some significance.

20:21
The heck is going on with link colors?
@TheLethalCarrot leaked into the code
Haha
Funny it doesn't affect M&TV
Sorry everyone
AAAAA WHY IS EVERYTHING ORANGE?
2
Apparently we have two ways of indicating theme colors and we only realized one of them when we pushed the change. They'll be reverting in a bit and fixing the issue before rolling it out again.
20:24
'k :)
@Catija but it's not just on Sci Fi, it's on other sites too
thanks for the info too

Q: Why did all sites turn orange?

LuuklagWhat happened here? It used to be blue. The primary colour has changed network wide it appears. The Ask a question button is orange on a selected site I just randomly tested, as was also pointed out by Animuson in the comments.

Yup. I know. :D

Glad to know this sort of things happen to the big guys too
ah ok
The foibles of having 170+ sites with slightly different themes... this is why we were unifying two years back but I guess we missed some stuff.
20:26
@Catija Always great to see that unification continue to pay off... ;-P
Hey, you should be happy. The entire network is orange ... except your site :P
Which reminds me, how many sites got new designs since then?
@Catija Practically, yes.
I don't care about site-separate designs, I was just very surprised by all the links to questions on the opening page turning to oragnge
For prosperity:
Posterity?
20:29
@Catija yeah :D
I can’t brain apparently
Now someone needs to rewrite American Pie
The day, the music died -> the day, SE turned orange
^ and here's a site other than Sci-Fi
The betas look kinda cool...
(Well now I revealed I'm using Umatrix)
Except the header bar is still that weird pebbly blue stuff. We need a new theme for all the plain sites.
20:32
(It helps for exactly the kind of sites like SE, by the way, which allow third party posters to embed images from any third party server.)
Is that what makes the text have serifs?
@Catija no, that's just Firefox's default option to ignore the font face settings in favor of my default fonts (except in certain rare cases)
I just noticed that the M&TV banner did turn orange.
@Catija wasn't Movies & TV always styled red or orange?
Not that shade of orange.
20:34
the banner at least
It's a red orange
Go to the screening room and you'll see the color.
Yeah it has gone slightly orange
@Catija cough cough updated SFF theme please cough cough :P (I’ll stop I promise)
You just got one. Congrats!
:P
Be careful what you ask for - you might get it. :P
Anyway, I've always said that y'all would be the easiest site to convert to dark mode if we ever decided to take that to the network... so... who knows.
20:46
@b_jonas I always had a feeling you had taste.

Q: The site turned orange

AmarthAll text on the site is suddenly orange. Unfortunately, orange on white isn't readable by humans. I don't know if this is a bug or another "brilliant" UI redesign. I can't change theme below "Flair" in settings - they all look the same suddenly - so I'm assuming it's a bug. Only the main scifi si...

Ahh, much better now.
@DavidW Because there finally is a SciFi Meta question about it?
21:02
Sure, if you like.
oh nice, they're blue again. I have arrived just at an unfortunate time then.
Or the perfect time
here's how they look now
@Mithical This would work better if they told in that post what their job is, eg. what they can affect and what they can't easily.
21:36
@FuzzyBoots Congrats on hitting the final rep privilege threshold on Literature! (wrong room, I know, but you're pingable here, so ...)

Q: What are the routes the three main companies in chapter 2 LOTR followed, (drawing)?

AlexanderCould someone please draw the routes that the three companies: Theadon, The Grey Company, Aragorn and Halbarad followed in the events in chapter 2, The Passing of the Grey Company, Lord of the Rings. Please draw the three routes on the map of Middle Earth and label.

@Randal'Thor Thank you. I don't think I'll ever be quite as active there as here, but I do occasionally dip in.

Q: Why do all Ricks across the multiverse show an attachment towards Morty and no one else?

Twilight SparkleThe Citadel of Ricks is home to Ricks from all possible realities. We see that every Rick always picks a Morty as his sidekick and not any other family member. What is the reason for this?
