This is super neat! Gonna try to get a few amp boards built, and their pattern builder looks really nice!

@Soreth @Kyresti As The Stranger's coverage (https://www.thestranger.com/news/2020/10/14/47141697/the-strangers-endorsements-for-the-november-2020-general-election) put it: "Vote... because they're the better enemies to have."

hey, for folks interested in this sort of thing who haven't heard of it yet, the next Furality event (Nov. 6-8) is open for registration. $10, waived if that's a financial burden. https://furality.org/register
@Kyresti Automation, aggressive delisting, and aggressively maintained spam filters are pretty much our society's defense against the dark arts (with apologies for using a phrase sourced from a TERF for lack of better analogy).
@Kyresti Automation, usually. If there's a robot to automate the horribly embarrassingly bureaucratic process instead of burning my time, I'll use it every time.
Especially useful when that process is "waiting on an email" or "I need to make X phone call at Y time".
Also, ruthlessly exploiting loopholes in the bureaucracy. You can, for example, opt out of pre-screened financial spam mail entirely, and very few people know this.
Donations Needed for Seattle Activist Bail Fund!
The Northwest Community Bail Fund has been covering bail for any demonstrators arrested while expressing their first amendment rights to speech and protest.
https://www.nwcombailfund.org/
The Seattle PD have started kettling and mass-arresting as a tactic to try to end the demonstrations- that and increasing bail costs have caused the fund to dwindle.
They need donations now more than ever!

I know it must sell better with movie audiences, but why reduce subtle mystic and magic systems to singular, measurable points of blunt omnipotent power? Or... okay, I just answered my own question, didn't I.

Timothy Zahn continuity: The Emperor was subtly influencing troop morale and communication through the Force, and was instrumental to military outcomes before his death. We need a new Jedi order to improve morale and to impose military tactics and combat superiority in his absence.
Episode 9 continuity: haha Force lightning go brrrr
Dragon. Agender, otherkin, occasional artist and writer, infosec engineer, in about that order. Avatar by Xeirla. Singular they/them preferred.
