black holes eat suns

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Cool find.

I love this:

"It is easier to grow truly huge black holes quickly if you start with  
a larger seed."

I find I get the best, strongest black holes when I use large seeds,  
fertile loam, and miraclegrow.
I used to have a nice little hydroponic black hole garden, but I got a  
bit paranoid having all that going on in my basement.
I did have my Medicinal Black Hole card, but it still seemed a bit  
dangerous.
