random thought of the before bed time: someone should give the Voyager Golden disk to a bunch of college students. Then without reference to it or any reference an alien society would have (i.e. can't look up how a record works) see if any of them manage to decode the thing

Some are more altered than others but can still be used the same way with creativity

Like Power Word: Coke

D&D curse: the words in your spell book are slightly altered. for example:

Teleport is now Telepart

One odd side effect of working from home is I can hear the work laptop from the bathroom.

Which has given me new appreciation for the way people manage to IM me *right* as I'm taking a dump.

Sorry guys! You're #3.

(please do reply if you claim these so I can delete the toot)

Downloading all my Humble games I hadn't gotten around to..have a few bonus games. This is old but could still work for a first-come first served Steam key of System Shock 2.

Today's bored doephin moment: freaking out the woodpecker on the other side of my bedroom wall by knocking back when it pecks the wall

Stupid pet peeve of the moment: the speed of light on vacuum could be exactly 300,000 km/s. The meter is defined in terms of c and when doing that they could have made it slightly bigger and made c that.

this probably would have been a stupid idea but :D

It probably says something about how this game of Factorio is going that I just rebuilt my air filter factory to make landmines.

(I actually make reusable filters now so it was obsolete, but the mental image is funny)

It's not often I'm making fun of things in dreams let alone the soundtrack but tonight managed

(trying to map "You've got the beat" to in dream events in a way that DID NOT MAKE SENSE)

Parker had his walk in the snow after DEMANDING the dog park- he grabbed his short leash and when we tried to use the other one bit it.

Got him going and now he's enjoying his post walk "bone"

@zebratron2084 oh by the *disputed thing

is that "Empress (disputed) of Mars"
or "Empress of Mars (existence of planet disputed"

:D

Parker just tried to eat and got very angry about us taking away what appears to be a solid lump of hair congealed with muscus o.O

So you might be familar with the horrible, horrible chemical FOOF. That's it's chemical structure not a nickname.

If you're not I highly recommend reading this, it's hilarious. https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/things-i-won-t-work-dioxygen-difluoride

Anyway! I discovered today that there is actually a use for this chemical that burns pretty much everything including itself and explodes if you look at it funny.

You react it it with radioactive waste.
"..Asprey discovered that FOOF could recover elements like plutonium and uranium from nuclear fuel waste, in which the radioactive elements exist as oxides. FOOF does this by transforming them to hexafluorides at room temperature. The hexafluorides can then be fed back into the nuclear fuel cycle..."

I'll be over there. Waaaay over there.

I got to top this the other night :D

So Town of Us updated recently and added among other things the Grenadier imposter. Basically they throw flashbangs.

Once again the Sheriff. Four of us are near each other when a flashbang goes off. I immediately start dashing around randomly mashing the kill button.

Somehow between the imposter and me, NO ONE dies. In the next meeting I out myself as the Sheriff and, cackling slightly, inform the crew that "If you come near me I WILL SHOOT YOU."

Because being the Sheriff puts a target on my head. And lo, very next round someone role passes me and doubles back to go for the kill. I shoot first, they die. Scratch the serial killer.

At the end of the round several of us are once again clustered in a single room. Again flashbang. My screen goes white as I mash the kill button. The imposter, unaffected by the grenade, runs up to kill me...

...and dies to random murder-flailing.

Dear Factorio mod authors...fusion SHOTGUN SHELLS?!

(the manned / maned pun was not intentional but I'm going to pretend it was)

Fun fact: Corgis are actually the remnants of an old space program. The unused leg length for each dog is conserved for the next generation.

The goal was to then crossbreed them with a manned wolf, releasing all the many generations of stored leg length at once to produce a dog that could simply stand up to reach the Moon.

that said it's really funny that the Korean cover I found keeps the structure and rhythm of the song better than a lot of the English covers.
