it's a false color image

it's too tiny to take a picture of using a traditional telescope, so instead, they use multiple telescopes around the Earth, and piecemeal that data together. Which means they have to reconstruct the missing details (it's not made up, it's more like playing "connect the dots" with tons of math)

the final image is a composite of 3 different grayscale images, taken at different wavelengths of light.

The resulting black and white images are given different colors, then blended together (which is pretty similar to how cameras take images, they just map the grayscale images to colors we can see with our eyes)

I don't understand spelling bee's, never have

We didn't ask for this

I would suggest you [the reader] ask your doctor before actually doing this, just so you don't accidentally overdose someone (especially kids, who are more sensitive to dosage)

That's not often communicated to kids, especially when forced to apologize

Most often, when this happened to me, i wasn't sorry, and i didn't want to say what i didn't feel

Interesting

My initial guess was that the parrots were taught some foul language, and sign was to assure parents that their kid's ears were safe

You might be able to clear (or at least relieve) some of the pressure by doing a Eustachian Tube Massage

Apply pressure to the area below the ear and just behind the jaw bone, then follow the jawline down to the neck (I'm not sure if you go under the jaw or straight down the neck. I do both)

Obviously, if this causes pain, don't continue

you're just completely fucked because they (generally) follow the Mark Twain model of pay per word so once a story gets popular that shit absolutely gets milked into the ground.

This is a legit problem for web novels and wuxia (which get written and released chapter by chapter).

Lot's of random plot arcs that go nowhere, and a lot of recycled story structure.

I stopped reading Tales of Demons and Gods halfway through, because the main character gains the ability to pause time and "power up" whenever he wants. I was already quite tired of it, but that was the "fuck this book" moment

I shall seal the heavens and The Desolate Era are some of my favorites (although TDE has some severe plot meandering syndrome)
