Just joined here.  Looked at Ch 41;  I can't do much of a review w/out going back to the start.  I'll see what I can do, but no promises.

I've just spent over an hour chasing the notes I need.  The critical part is a week back in my notebook, and not quite as complete as I thought.  I have to be up relatively early; let's see how much I can get done.  I'm still missing parts of it.

For the end of the world was long ago
And all we live today
As children of some second birth
Like a strange people left on earth
After a judgement day.
(Look it up.)

I just thought of how to wend the chapter to the end.  We'll see if I can pull it off.

PS: If anyone wants to help I'm struggling with the next chapter's title. Something like Sideshow or Midway, but with the flavor of Dr. Lao.

You need another hundred or so Rankines for the lead-free solder.  I'm using tin-silver-copper at 700 degrees Farenheit.

I couldn't sleep for a while last night so I wired up the little circuit board for project 2.  (The switches and potentiometers were there before.  So were the undervolt detectors and LEDs beneath the switches.)
Being tired, I made three mistakes placing transistors, and had to thrown one of them out and take a new one.  (KSA992's, about $0.25 each in modest quantity.)

The board works, too, but I haven't put the bootstrap transistor in.  That's sitting on the side, on the heat sink--which is almost unnecessary.  Almost.

Now to work.  (I'll finish project 2 in a day or so and embark on project 3--leaving project 1 unfixed.)

In general, WikiP references are safe to click on and not too explicit.  There are exceptions--certain pages on body modification, sexual practices, and so forth.  The math and biology pages are in general very good.

Seven hundred ...  Bimmy, you'e not a Jaegermonster!  (Are you?) (Bottom panel.  Yes, they're battle clowns.)

Got two important task items done on the one electronic project.  Mostly mechanical, quite simple, but it requires the kind of patient care I'm not good at.  Everything fits, or will when I trim away an unneeded boss.  I had to improvise a little, but the binding posts are well within tolerance to take a double banana plug.    They're off by 1/64" or so--just enough that the eye sees something wrong--but everything's workable.  And the holes for the mounting screws line up nicely.  There's only about 1/128" excess between the #8 clearance hole and the 11/64" bits I have.

I'm setting those notes aside to mellow and going back to Merran's arrival at the Acadamy.

Prosthesis

Well SPAMMEE, it's too bad!

Well, they'll spam ya when you're trying to be so good
They'll spam ya just a-like they said they would
They'll spam ya when you're tryin' to go home
Then they'll spam ya when you're there all alone
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get spamed.

It slso appears that each IL comment requires at least one server interaction, which can show a severe delay.

You can use them the same way Tazar does.   You can even overlap.  The lesson about not seeing illusions could be very painful.

Oh, and please do not pare the scene leading to Sil's transformation any further.  I think you've gone a little too far now, making the dialogue screen dialogue instead of reading dialogue.  That moment needs some meat on the bone.  You can't afford it voluptuous, but you don't want it anorexic either.
