4 billion years of fixing inorganic carbon in the biosphere. Sometimes mistakes O2 for CO2. Not as fast as some enzymes, but very abundant. Here, have some phosphoglycerates about it.
Because Crake is saving it for some special project at Rejoov.
Mazzy Star - Fade Into You for the Earth Angel, ‘they have to kiss’ track.
Radiohead - Paranoid Android for the track that “really cooks” and goes off the rails.
It’s a trip reading through these:

To the depths of Jupiter, then.

Wouldn’t Jabba being ‘stupid as fuck’ and making erroneous claims about nature be the less convoluted answer here? Bioengineering, canon or not, sounds like the more complicated explanation.
Sarlac that lost the ability to grow ‘roots’ and instead worked out venom and energy storage (fat and muscle) would outcompete and supplant the sarlacs still producing energetically-expensive, overly-complicated stasis bellies.
What happens if they momentarily fail to keep their meals alive, do they starve or become poisoned by the rotting meat? Do they have issues keeping a varied diet alive? How do they maintain a net positive energy balance after producing all that is required to keep organisms alive? Why not stun them and stash them, like wasps and spiders? Why not fatten up like -gestures broadly at all life-. Fat requires very little maintenance.
Could one, in theory, rescue one’s friends were they trapped in a sarlac?
Sounds like an organism that would quickly be out of business were there any competition at all.
edit: How do they handle the waste produced by the meals-in-stasis?
While reading up on The Last Boy Scout, I found this:
Shane Black and Tony Scott both expressed dissatisfaction with the final film, and said in later years how the original script was far better. Scott accused Joel Silver of interfering with the production and swore off working with the producer again. His next film, True Romance, features an unflattering film producer character patterned after Silver.
100lb sturgeon on 20lb test, indeed. Good call.
Calexico - Flat Handed and on the Wing
Pretty impressive, but is he magnificent enough?
Oh dear, her departure says it all.
The godhead got bored and felt like playing hide-and-seek.
This sounds somewhat like the end of Fahrenheit 451.
Old Toby, not even once.
Cool, thanks!
I know this one is a joke, but I have been curious about the normal wires for awhile now. What is with the crossed wires on the nose of FPVs? They are almost always perpendicular to each other. Is it anti-jamming? Or the trigger mechanism, perhaps? Then again, if this isn’t common knowledge don’t bother, keep it to yourself.
Dude is gonna love Cho Chabudai Gaeshi.
