The blood vessels can be permanently damaged from an erection that long so it tracks.

This is why the Viagra commercials have that “if you have an erection lasting longer than 4 hours” bit. It is a serious issue that if not addressed can lead to permanent damage that can make it impossible to have an erection.

The panning effect reminds me of the chopper in Metallica’s One (definitely want headphones to “feel” the effect)

And this video may be a good resource for what you’re asking for.

This isn’t my particular skill/talent but I found some info that I hope can help. But do take it with a huge grain of salt and definitely look into what others say with the relevant experience.

I checked the good reads list of top rated hard science and saw a few items I can recommend.

  • Altered Carbon. A fun and intense read. Future hard science. If people’s consciousness could be transmitted/used for interstellar travel kind of thing then the scenarios listed here adhere to their own crazy rules.

  • Three Body Problem. First book is amazing. The sequels are good enough but the translations are a little rougher but the story carries through.

  • Enders Game. Tactical and hard science aspects to it. Gets more metaphysical later in the series.

  • Contact. Absolute gem that I re-read a few years back.

  • Ancillary Justice. More future/hard science but worth mentioning in any list I’m willing to put Altered Carbon in. It has a viewpoint and it’s use of alternate societal perspectives (from a society that is uniform in so many ways to organic “ship” drones to questions about what is a person/identity) all wrapped in a great sci-fi story

  • The moon is a harsh mistress. A little dated and the way women/people are referenced shows it (much like foundation) but a solid one that is a little more hard science and may be more in line with what you’re thinking of.

Going over this list I realize how hard it is to find true hard science (Martian) that doesn’t lean into the more future tech but consistent physical laws (Expanse) to way future nano tech or consciousness transfer (Altered Carbon, etc)

Do you like protagonists that use their wits to beat a scenario or the hard science more?

For example a fun read that’s, in my opinion, best experienced as an audiobook is the dungeon crawler carl. It’s definitely a good example of the first type. It’s not realistic. It’s literally real life made into a D&D game (LitRPG) it is just one scenario after another of Carl just finding ways to manipulate and play with the “rules” of the messed up game.

If you’re more into the hard science than The Expanse as others have said. Or maybe even the Revelation Space series where it is future tech but relativistic time plays a part. Less of the “one person/group against all odds” but a good read nonetheless.

This is inappropriate on so many levels:

  • If there are eyes and you touch them it’s wrong.
  • If a person doesn’t have eyes touching where they are isn’t going to be a winning strategy either
  • If you touch a file in Linux called eyes and create it people will be very confused
  • If there’s already an existing file called eyes that’s disturbing. What? Why?

I got a singer 8606 from a yard sale and am having trouble finding a manual online and what parts work with it?

E.g. compatible bobbins, needles, etc.
