Pretty sure that's a Doctor Who villain

All units have line of sight and can move by themselves. Cows have less vision than sheep though. Since you start the game with four sheep nearby, it's common to eat two and use two for scouting. When the first two sheep run out, there's a celebration dinner for the second two sheep at home

Maybe experts should tell oil companies to fuck right off, then there's be no need to protest against oil companies

The point is that, for most journeys, you just charge at home overnight. It's rare to plug in and wait for it to charge. With petrol / gas, you always have to wait

 

I think it's a tobacco trial. The main character is the wife of one of the jurors? I think the bad guy / big company is trying to buy the jurors out by using the services of the wife

 

Let's say that it's scientifically proven that ghosts exist. Would they then stop being supernatural and become natural, thus making it impossible to ever have proof of the supernatural?

 

I was rewatching the film recently and again I was impressed by the use of language. In the training scene with Gurney, there was a direct quote from the book - "you're not in the mood for fighting? Wtf?" (Paraphrase). Most of the film also used Dune language. But I felt that when Paul and Jessica were alone in the desert, they stopped speaking "Dunish" and started speaking English. Did anyone else notice this / feel this way too?

 

I really love sci-fi novels and I read a lot of books. I read 2312 by Kim Stanley Robinson a while back and that book is particularly interesting to me. Rather than each chapter advancing the narrative of the story, there were occasional breaks where a chapter would have a list of semi-random words which just gave the vibe of what's happening, or some history of a scene, or a recipe for how to build an asteroid.

There's another book that I have heard of but neglected to write the name down, where the reader of the book is a character within the book, and the narrator speaks directly to you (but not a choose-your-adventure style book).

All of this got me interested in finding other books, preferably sci-fi or maybe fantasy, where the concept of being a book is played with and new ideas are tried. Any recommendations?
