internal combustion engines are basically just tame explosions

I've decided that tomorrow at some point i'm going to stream something to test my capture device

maybe a little bit of Baten Kaitos, though I don't know about doing the entire game--but it'd be neat to show off the unique battle system

let it be placed on public record that this can of tab has now been opened, and should it reappear in the fridge unopened we shall have cause to suspect Shenanigans

we have had a single can of tab (the soda) in our fridge for like a week now

i keep thinking we drank it but then it shows up again

things that go on pizza after it's cooked (assume the base is a regular cheese and tomato sauce pizza, with optionally pepperoni or sausage or ham or your preferred toppings)

this is a pretty much completely useless, but technically true list

light is the fastest thing in the universe, sound travels pretty damn fast, scents just kinda slowly fluff out into the room, and things you touch and taste, all else being equal, don't move on their own to reach a stationary observer (unless the things are alive or have some kind of motor, but we're ignoring that)

very loud and cute pain medicine: ibuprofennec

i wonder, in the distant future, will people talk about the USian empire in positive terms or negative ones?

i'm reasonably certain there will be talk of a USian empire. But whether they're referring to how the US is today, which is basically an empire in all but name, or some kind of awful future expansionist USA, remains to be seen

i really hope far future people don't talk about the current or future US as a great empire, but rather as--at the very least--a dark stain on USian history

today we learned: apparently, the president of venezuela has a mastodon.social account

every time anyone mentions GDC, as in the game developers thingy, we always parse it as GDQ at first, as in the speedrun event

can we just get rid of capitalism already

does anyone know anything about zerotier? is it reputable, does it work?

still trying to figure out a way to run a game server without port forwarding

also: why do the emerging technologies that are most exciting and interesting seem to be the ones that are getting the least progress

FRAM is still super expensive, MRAM is even more expensive than FRAM, and μLEDs are barely even talked about
