  • We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. The adaptability alone would probably be very handy for them, instead of having to deal with whatever random species’ drones they have laying around, they could specialize much more efficiently. They were interested in 8472 for exactly that reason IIRC. And it’s not like it is a hassle to add the implants, they have all kinds of nanite delivery systems. If the eggs were produced from an assimilated source then they would presumably already be implanted before being laid. But it wouldn’t be surprising to see them produce some kind of industrial hatchery that automatically implanted them if they had to come from unassimilated hosts for whatever reason.

    Ah, but we can go even further beyond in pedantry. This distinction is only exclusive when we’re talking about a living thing. When talking about the substances themselves, one is a subcategory of the other. A venomous snake is not poisonous, but a venomous venom is a poisonous poison.







  • Fairly common in lots of places to shower every other day. So ling as you aren’t doing manual labor or working out and making yourself gross, showering every day can actually be detrimental for stripping away too many oils, especially for your hair, but can also cause dry skin. I’m with OP on this one, gotta shower every day in summer, but in cooler months I’m an every other day guy.
