What? I thought that was the whole point. Incredibly lame.

I’d use them to subtitle everything because i’m deaf

There are some legitimate use cases. I mean as a hard of hearing person I’d love to be able to live caption my daily life (the tech isn’t quite there yet but it’s close). We should be pressuring governments to require visual indicators that they’re recording instead of policing individual users.

Pie-der

I was delighted when he showed me Annie’s Boobs, but in a totally different way than I was expecting.

I may have gotten my terms mixed up, but I think demi is reactive sexuality, someone who gets turned on by their partner getting turned on. Requires a bond / connection. Not really interested without it.

I’m not super familiar with terms on that ace spectrum though. It’s somewhere on there.

Pretty sure that’s demi.

Rogue! They often get extra or better content unavailable to other classes like heist quests. Quest For Glory and Oblivion have taught me to always choose rogue classes.

Cunt is a really nasty misogynist slur in the USA and a friendly mild ribbing in the UK and Australia.

If you were to call a woman a bitch would it mean the same? Would you be calling her weak and submissive?

Science is gay

The one that surprises me is TV. It has objectively improved in quality so much, it’s basically on par with movies at this point. Writing, acting, costuming, all of it. I’d never claim that TV from the 90s was superior to now, even though I was a teen back then.

Do the kids know about diggety? Oh no, they probably don’t even know the appropriate amount of diggety!!

Maybe… it was a big enough fire that I was worried about triggering the sprinklers / fire alarm so I wasn’t in any mood to experiment further.

Thank you for reminding me about this song. I have no idea why I found it so hysterical as a kid but it still gets a giggle out of me every time. Especially this bit for some reason:

Brutal, oil spills are the worst, even in really small volumes. That stuff will crawl straight up a wall.

Early in my career I did tensile testing on adhesive coupons. I was running an experiment to simulate heating and cooling cycles on a bond. I had a nice big thermal chamber from the 1960’s, lined with heating elements (and undoubtedly asbestos), a big old dewar of liquid nitrogen, some thermocouples, and a PID controller the size of a German Shepherd.

Problem is, cold air sinks. My samples are sitting on the bottom of this huge chamber and their temperature is fluctuating wildly every time a bit of LN2 is added. The ancient PID controller cannot cope with my shitty test setup, it’s trying to turn on the damned heaters to control the temperature when I’m trying to go cold and this is a multi-hour test and I just want to go home.

But… I have a cardboard box. Nice, insulative cardboard, just the right height to get my samples off the floor of the chamber and into a zone where the temperature is more stable. I am brilliant! Cardboard box deployed, I can finally begin my thermal cycling.

I learned a few things that day:

• thermal cycles include both hot and cold phases
• the floor of the thermal chamber has much less temperature stability while cooling AND while heating
• specifically the floor contains a heating element and gets ridiculously hot
• cardboard combusts at a temperature much lower than you might expect
• opening the door of a smoking thermal chamber to investigate allows in a rush of oxygen
• rapid introduction of oxygen to a smoldering cardboard box leads to very large exciting pretty flames
• fire extinguishers leave a fine dust of particles all over everything that you will be cleaning up for MONTHS

Animals are easy to love, sometimes easier than loving other humans. Ultimately we all just want to connect, I’m glad I did with you today!

My Grey is kind of a dummy (or maybe just too smart to perform for my approval) but I love her anyway. She’s the sweetest and loves just hanging out on my shoulder.

I had a Blue Fronted years ago, he was the best boy ever. He was an amazing singer and mimic and loved to cuddle. Thanks for taking in birds that need homes!!
