Also yes.

Hmm. I wonder if the internet’s benefits to literacy are starting to dissipate too, as video-based services become really popular.

Cooling by radiation is slower than convection or conduction, but it still happens. The James Webb went from room temperature to deep cryogenic in a few months, and it’s big. As for moisture, things cook off into a vacuum very easily. That’s the foundational to the whole concept of freeze drying, actually.

Freeze dried wood is absolutely commercially available, if pricey. I have no idea if anyone has used it for musical purposes either. There’s a lot of audiophile-ish magical thinking in that space so it’s possible nobody has bothered.

Edit: Although, since this is a research project, maybe not freeze drying it first was the point.

This is bad. Reminder that there’s just ~2000 of them known, though, so it only takes 8 seconds for everyone else to pass their annual emissions collectively.

It’s not an excuse to not care about your own impact.

I’m guessing they freeze-dried it already, so not that much.

If they didn’t, it will freeze-dry itself. I have no clue what that would do to the dimensions, since it’s not going to be a controlled process like it would be on Earth,

Huh, you must have replied somewhat late to this - I’m sure I checked back here for any replies before I returned to my main instance for good.

Actually, yes. If you sent it to me, that would be sexual harassment (just like if you sent me an unsolicited text description of what you want to do to me), but I don’t care what you do in private.

It’s making an image of someone that portrays them in an unrealistic and offensive context.

Yeah, but only one of degree.
