It's been a while. Have an #introduction.
I'm a proud mutant insect-like equine living on a large wet rock that drifts around a runaway nuclear power plant. I make a living primarily by helping @literorrery make a living, and our reciprocal affections sustain me. I have been known to bang my head against computer input devices accurately enough to make original-yet-coherent words, music, and pictures come into being. I will confound for cookies and weird for weed.
My name is Electric Keet.
I'm not sure what else I'm doing with my life, but at some point I decided to design a font that's up to 25% more doughnutty than the leading doughnut font (which is Frankfurter of course). The working filename has been "Glazed" but I'm trying to settle on a better name for it. https://mastodon.social/media/JE4evFHghlkPbrfXd0w
Canadian cannabis humour?
It's not just the biggies, you know, the THC percentage or the CBC presentage or any of dat, eh. It's all aboot the terrapins.
(Late regional sensitivity disclaimer: I'm technically not Canadian, but only by five miles or so. Formative years at now-defunct Loring AFB. #themooseisloose! Is there a strain named "Loose Moose" yet? It'd have great piney, earthy, jet-fuely terpenes!)

We bought wonton wrappers at the store to make pork-and-carrot dumplings for dinner this weekend. Then @adeptomega asked if we could put hamburger gravy in dumplings, and I thought, "why not? We can do anything we possess der Wille zur Macht. So then, we need a dessert, so I thought, "mango smoothie dumplings."
Take two ripe mangoes, blend into paste with a cup of yoghurt, cardamom, cinnamon, and ginger powder. Fill wonton wrappers, then chill. Deep fry in ghee.
My label printer is printing blanks. I try to print a design, and instead I get the default minimum tape feed with nothing on it.
My video card driver configuration app isn't appearing. I tell it to open, I can see in the task manager that the process starts, but no window ever pops up.
My wireless keyboard-trackpad-combo isn't sending keys. The trackpad part works fine, but nothing from the keyboard registers on the PC.
Apparently it's Politely Semifunctional Technology day for me.
Idly wondering about the ISO 9000 certification documents for those factories that are always taking unsuspecting passers-by and accidentally turning them into cow mannequins or toon lamps or whatever. Like, how detailed is the management procedure for these incidents?
Also, kind of understanding why everybody treated me like that in middle school.
