Serious question, how does Fat Rick get his money? His books sell like ass, he has no publisher, and he has no job. His lifestyle consists of whining on Twitter, eating, and drinking a fuckton of shitty whiskey at the inflated price bars charge. He somehow is able to afford a lawyer who is costing him 5 figures and will likely cost him more. I really wonder what his credit card debt looks like.

It's either that, or his wife must have a fetish for funding the lifestyle of a loser. Maybe she does it so she can pretend Patrick is a succesful man and an utter badass and she can get off on cucking a man like that? Seems like a pretty expensive fetish but I'll hold off on kink-shaming Pat's wife for now.

Spoiler: Science sperging

Your analysis has some holes in it (I don't know about Fat Rick's). Depending on how the black hole gets to the Sun and the size of the black hole, it could act just the same as a larger star simply fling the Earth away instead of drag the Earth in like if a black hole approaches the Solar System where it would disrupt all the planet's orbits. We could be flung at any speed too, I think 67K MPH is just the minimum. The scientific mechanism is the same as hypervelocity stars which are ejected from the galaxy by encounters with black holes, only difference is a stellar-mass black hole will eject at a slower speed.

I don't know why Patrick is talking about snow or clouds, since the only thing raining down would be the liquified former atmosphere. The ice would need to be filtered since it would be contaminated with the contents of the atmosphere. But that's not really particularly challenging to do and is a fantastic source of water and oxygen if you need it, that's why people talk about mining the ice on the Moon or Mars for moon bases.

If you had to save our civilization by drilling, you'd have a colossal budget orders of magnitude greater than that we used to make the Kola borehole. Since we can't have a "mineshaft gap" against the Russkies or whoever, that probably means the entire military budget and hundreds of thousands of soldiers assisting with the drilling, the research, etc. The technical challenge is pretty hard, but all you really need is a way to insulate a vault against the cold. Geothermal heating and if you're lucky enough to not have the Moon ejected from Earth's orbit (or crashing into the Earth), tidal heating, means the oceans won't freeze completely solid and still have life and liquid water in certain pockets (this is basically like Europa or many outer solar system moons). Your mineshaft cities will need to recycle air and water, but this can be done with plants, a small biosphere, and various scrubbers that you're running off of nuclear or geothermal energy.

In reality, your money and economy likely collapses the minute people realize what's happening and how 99.9% of people dying would be insanely optimistic and it's up to whoever has the biggest guns and most equipment to save as many people as they can.

he renewed his insurance licence right before taking a covid grant / loan. So I imagine that paid for a lot of this stuff.

he live tweets every aspect of his life, like making minor repairs and gardening, which normal people just do every day without noticing. So I doubt he’s been holding a day job as an insurance salesman again.

"See you in court." I'd be careful Rick, not sure how much money from those fraudulent PPP loans you'll have left after your current lawsuit is thrown out.

One of the most hateable traits of Pat is that he's spent years doing the exact same shit he now wants to sue people for. I love how the court filings include a bunch of his tweets harassing people and threatning violence.

 

[Su-27 Flanker-B]

I've made more money working at a poverty wage the last ten years than Patrick (please don't sue me) did with his books, how this guy found publishers baffles me. His editor being dyslexic is also so apt to the situation (like hiring a chauffeur without any arms or legs). His stand up sets just cement it too. His ex wife was the 'bag of witholding' because he is so naive about the human experience that gifts and effort only exist with women to extract sex. Also known as laying there and tolerating some impotent male pounding away miles away from a clit or g spot. I have zero followers on Twitter though. So what do I know. Child.

His previous publisher was Tom Doherty Associates, who appear to be part of MacMillan publishing (I might have confused who works under who in that business partnership), who will publish literally anything. They would most likely publish a book written by Russel Greer, if it were science-fiction, kind of. I can already see the title, "Martian Escorts Offering Girlfriend Experience Sucking Me My Penis".

Regarding money... his books don't really sell. Amazon has only 119 reviews on his book for a book that's been released for almost a year (missing a month). Another, older one, has even less at 58. That's really very few, especially compared to his bloated ego. I think his very masculine approach to life disappears once his wife is there, which I am fairly certain has full control over most of the stuff, her being the person keeping the house afloat.

I also really like his shitty book descriptions on amazon listings.

Starship repo:

Firstname Lastname is a no one with nowhere to go. With a name that is the result of an unfortunate clerical error and destined to be one of the only humans on an alien space station. That is until she sneaks aboard a ship and joins up with a crew of repomen (they are definitely not pirates).

So random and funny, especially that last bit.

In the black:

It's Hunt for the Red October in Space, with this brand new military science fiction novel from Patrick S. Tomlinson, In the Black

No one credited for these words. Let me guess, who said that? I think this persons name stared with P and ended with atrick S. Tomlinson.

In a demilitarized zone on the border of human space, long range spy satellites are mysteriously going quiet, and no one knows why. Captain Susan Kamala and her crew are dispatched to figure out what's going on and solve the problem.

Gee, I wonder why no one knows what's going on. Maybe it's because the satellites are going quiet? Who knows. Rick is a supposed professional writer, by the way.

That problem, however, is a mysterious, bleeding edge alien ship that no human vessel could hope to match in open conflict. But, it's not spoiling for a fight.

Thanks for spoiling your book, dipshit. Literally removing any sort of dread and suspense from the mystery of the plot.

Now, the Captain and her Crew must figure out how to navigate a complicated game of diplomacy, balancing the needs of their corporate overlords, and the honest desire for a lasting peace between the two races, all without letting a long standing cold war turn hot.

I'm no native speaker, but I don't think you're supposed to use capital C for crew. And being no native speaker even I can see pointless commas and bad structure.

It sounds like one fucking boring book. I already know what's happening, and I already know what's going to happen and what's the most likely conclusion. What's the point of reading this garbage then?

At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

And from the "About the author" part....

Patrick S. Tomlinson is a man of many hats. In addition to writing Sci-Fi novels (Gate Crashers, Starship Repo) and shorts, he prowls theaters, clubs, and bars throughout the midwest performing as a stand-up comedian. Between gigs, cons, and rewrites, he works as a pundit and frequent political contributor, with columns appearing in publications such as The Hill and The New York Times. In the little downtime remaining, Patrick enjoys hobbies such as motorcycling, model-building, and shooting. He lives in Milwaukee with his wife, two cats, a bearded dragon, and a 2008 Bullitt Edition Mustang named Susan.

I swear to god, even greer isn't as bad in elevating himself.

No, it really wont. Unless it's a miniature black hole it would just draw us towards it instead. The moon would also travel with us for a bit.

If you replaced the sun with a black hole it would draw in the Earth instead (same thing would happen with a sufficiently large star were there). But if a black hole moved into the Solar System, it would either suck us in, eject us, or in an extremely rare case, knock us into a stable but highly eccentric orbit.

It you're shot from the sun you're traveling at the same speed as you're going as your orbiting speed

I believe this is the same mechanic as a gravity assist for a spacecraft where the object's speed and trajectory is altered by the interplay of the Sun and planet's gravity and the spacecraft's velocity. The spacecraft "pushes" off of the planet, but since the planet is orders of magnitude larger it doesn't matter. In the case of a black hole moving through instead of a spacecraft, it pushes on Earth, the Sun, and every other object in the Solar System and the push is large enough to cause a serious change in velocity for the objects involved which in turn affect each other.

Moving further down into a gravity well increases your speed, and in this case the gravity well is both the Sun's and the black hole's. This is the same mechanism by which comets get ejected from their home system, breaking the escape velocity of their star's gravity well (for instance, like the comet 'Oumuamua that passed through our solar system a few years ago).

I can't imagine having to deal with Rick in anything involving insurance. But I guess it's good he quit his day job to become a stand-up comedian/science fiction writer.

I can't remember from earlier in the thread, but is it known how much he received on his government loan that he clearly will never pay back? Maybe it's a good thing since it's mostly going to his favorite bar.

Didn't he receive an advance of a few thousand for at least one of his books?

A Russell Greer SF book would be pretty glorious too, an epic tale of navigating the galaxy's brothels while trying to impress the greatest teen pop stars of the cosmos and dealing with forums full of trolls and haters.

Different mechanic, though that could happen too depending on how close that star got to us. Paul Sutter has a decent article on this over on Space. Even a large rocky planet could screw us over. Luckily for us you would need one the size of Jupiter. So far the largest rocky world we've found is the size of Neptune.

Depending on where the black hole is and how fast it's traveling would give every planet a slight difference in it's orbit which would eventually correct itself over a few million years. Not sure about the effect it would have on our moon though. I do know it would affect our weather though. Similar to how the loss of Venus would change the weather on earth by a few degrees since the loss of Venus effects where we are in our solar system.

Things you have look out for is mass of the object, speed of the object as it's passing through, and how far away it is.

There's a really cool bit in Vacuum Diagrams by Stephen Baxter:

Most fragile men see Mustangs as a purely "manly" car. What can be manlier than the manliest horse bred in existance?

The rest of the people see the Mustang for what it really is - an overpriced, unreliable symbol status wannabe. For some reason, most recruits in us army get a mustang on a loan right after basic training, as well as an overweight wife that will be truthful for them for the entire week.

Does anyone have pictures of his mustang? I bet he drives the 4.0L V6 auto, the king of embarrassing "performance" cars. Fat doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who can handle a Shelby Cobra when the rear wheels break from the road. And he likely can't afford premium fuel because of the lolsuit.

I am betting Fat owns the 5th gen base model mustang from 2005. Perfect for fitting a gunt behind the wheel. When you hear a V6 mustang start you know that someone bought it just to look tough. It'll sound like a Ford explorer, a car my grandma drives to church.

What I'm saying is that a V6 5th gen mustang fits Rick's personality perfectly.

It's the 4.6L V8 from what I can tell. Still embarrassing, but not as embarrassing as the V6.

I doubt Fat works on his car though. He probably just copied that text from the receipt from his mechanic.

Nah, this guy doesn't even have a real mechanic, he just goes to Valvoline when he gets the coupon in the super saver.
