worst power idea 

So you create a giant sphere with a bunch of hardened plates on springs, and use the compression of the springs to turn an axel to generate power. You compress the springs by dropping a (small!) nuke in every so often

Orion reactor!

(the scary part is that the mechanisms for combining the work from all those springs to an axel might be more dangerous than the rest of the idea..)

@kauko "what if we forced users to do the "reset my password" dance every time, except there's no password?"

it's kind of baffling

He has also, now, decided that even though I don't feed him 2nd dinner, it is my responsibility to GET the other person to feed him.

Just bothering the person that actually feeds him is apparently a no-go. DOGS.

Today at the dog park: Parker harassing another dog who has the same name, resulting in confusion all around

And proving that @mawr and co calling him "Bullet Bill" was accurate when he saw another dog running, waited then sprinted off and hip checked the poor thing sending it flying. He loved it, best game! The other dog was not a fan :D

re: capitalism, sociology, discrimination 

@tillianisafox Capitalism is very, very young compared to systemic oppression though. The US was already doing chattel slavery when it became a thing for example.

Currency OTOH is old, so old that it's near impossible to tell if it predates systemic oppression or not.

(maybe it's to hid the content they ripped off better-run player wikis?)

Show thread

At some point someone on Fandom decided that all the wiki articles needed to be written in past tense and it's a little double take inducing at times

@kauko Dunno if you can do it for everyone, but if you go to their profile there is a disable boosts feature

OK I think I re-added everyone I was following on dragon.style. Sorry! Also you'll need to re-follow me, it also knocked everyone's follows off.

I will of course be doing the "did I get everyone?" for a while, and also losing the notif history was aarg.

Oh well don't push buttons without doing research kids :P

re: Masto block details 

@BlurTheFur @Okesska the doc I posted is a little out of date as the feature does remove existing follows now too. But could also be a caching thing, yeah

Guess who accidentally nuked all her follows from dragon.style?!

that's gonna be annoying to fix >.<

Masto block details 

@Okesska

I looked it up it says a block does this

Block a domain to:

hide all public posts from it
hide all notifications from it
remove all followers from it
prevent following new users from it (but does not remove existing follows)

so I guess it doesn't stop them from seeing your stuff? its odd design

re: trans femme folks hrt question 

@rooster it stops when it feels like stopping, basically. I think the midrange is 24-36 months, but there's a pretty wide variation.

Oh and if you gain weight, bonus breast will arrive with it. Same way the other direction sadly.

@mcc It also had the problem that it's one way. On a server, all blocking someone does is prevent *you* from seeing what they do. They can still read all your posts

Discord is fine for what it is, but a lot of communities are using it as a combined forum/wiki/Twitter/chat which is..not ideal

@Kyresti @Canageek in the meantime spit is a weirdly effective anti-fogging agent, if it's safe to do in your eyepro environment

re: Mastodon related question 

@KaffeineKaiju I *think* it works both ways

@mawr I think you're just a bit higher than us then! It's mostly doing a great impression of a slushy here

And now: snain

why could my brain not think "snow rain mix" and went with THAT I do not know but now you all get it too
