    Ubiety was formed by combining the Latin ubi, meaning where with the English suffix -ety.

    Didn't a guy named Mel something do that?

    Don't forget, George has the property and money the Tsar gifted him for a new townhouse by Earl Spencer's place.

    Jem's father sold the pelts they took to be worn by the wealthy. Where there is wealth, there is money of some kind.

    This voyage of adventure has suddenly blossomed into mutual desire and romance. This will be an interesting trip.

    This is the onset of the disease which will eventually claim Amelia's life. She has a long and persistent battle ahead of her. Carmella is as skilled at being a courtier as she is with her artistry and showmanship. She is proving to be an admirable asset to George. This tour of duty has passed by swiftly.

    People in the Southern Hemisphere are annoyed? It is mid-winter there now.

    If this were an old Earth whaler, it would take more crew to operate, anywhere from fifteen to forty depending on ship size.

    No one has commented on this world's bleak appearance. The sea is described as being grey rather than blue, which would indicate the sky is grey as well. Earth's sky is blue due to Rayleigh scattering causing the blue spectrum of sunlight to scatter more. What is causing this grey, the Tyndall effect?

    Well, to keep in synch with Earth, they would need to measure time in Earth years. In addition, it reads to me the human lifespan is longer than ours is now.

    From the Latin nugatorius, meaning trifling or futile.

    Jem's idea about inward guns was insightful, though it's difficult to see how orx could board a ship at this point. I do believe Nico has his eyes set on Jem from his actions and probing questions.

    drpaladin commented on Geron Kees's story chapter in Chapter 1

    Geron has crafted a very new adventure to entertain us with an entirely different set of characters and challenges. Sailing the seas on a distant planet is distinctly terrestrial for a space tale. It's too soon to guess what will happen, but I know it will be fun. So the ships are ?steamers. What is the fuel?

    This one has been the the wilderness of lost words since the 1840's.
  17. drpaladin
    From the Latin nûbivagus.
  18. drpaladin
    Jimmy Durante, aka The Great Schnozzola.

    One of the most famous nasute characters is Cyrano de Bergerac from the same titled play by Edmond Rostand.
  20. drpaladin
    From the Latin nasutus, having a large nose.

    Pete Townshend got it right when he penned, "Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss."

    It's like Brylcreem, a little dab'll do ya.

    Chapter 23 S2

    drpaladin commented on Bill W's story chapter in Chapter 23 S2

    This isn't new. The law has always been this way. At least the vagrancy laws no longer apply. We don't have more homeless than in the past relative to the population. There may be fewer places for them to be invisible. Places with free stuff attract more to those areas and make them more visible along with more social media and 24/7 news. To put it in perspective, we have about one tenth the number of homeless as we had during the Great Depression. I don't know how to solve it, but nothing being done now is either.

    I see a large flaw in Z'Matri's plan. While this might make Shifts helpless inside the circle, I haven't seen it can stop those outside from using their powers into the circle. I somehow doubt it would or does nullify cosmic power, it's only blocking the mantis glands from accessing it.
