apparently "swords are stronger when they're forged by the light of the full moon" is an actual real thing that made swords more durable and this might be the chuuniest fact i have learned in 2020 so far

I should also point out that I regularly participate in multiworld games with these fine snoots, and that you can also watch my own antics over at twitch.tv/goldkindrake

unfiltered but probably okay 

This is a phenomenal article from Oxford on every aspect of #Covid19 / #Coronavirus (hat tip to @WilliamCaryHall@twitter.com and @ramez@twitter.com): ourworldindata.org/coronavirus

synththoughts 

imagining a synth that has floaty hardlight limbs as a workaround for weaknesses in her hardlight generators

basically they're really good at exerting force relative to themselves / her body (pushing up from the ground, pulling or pushing on things) but a bit sucky at dealing with... making hardlight surfaces and constantly dealing with stuff like interactions with air - it's possible but drains power quickly, the more surface and volume the quicker

so she just has really simple floatylimb holograms to use as little power as possible while indicating where her hardlight generators are currently "working" (so someone doesn't wander a limb into there and get shoved or something) and a simple pawprint shaped actual hard surface at the end.

bird 

If they're a crow, they're pretty big. Those are full scale cinder blocks to scale, and it appears to be about 1/3 meter tall when standing?

Corvid question: crow or raven?

We have a mixed population here, so it's hard to tell which is which, and I haven't heard this friend caw or grackle yet.

It's interesting to rewatch this video from 2004 today and compare its predictions with reality: m.youtube.com/watch?v=Bt3TmUW9

(There's also an updated version from 2005 that took things further with local search.)

Just wanted to share this birthday present for my bro, and the accompanying card.

Synth sharks with degauss buttons just below their facescreens, on their snoots.

I'm calling out @Electrum these two sharks for giving me that idea

Pokemon Home, banter 

Cosplay Pikachu can't be transferred forward from ORAS unfortunately. So I made it the head of my party and started hatching eggs for transfer.

And then I ran into a trainer battle I'd forgotten, in which I beat a full opposing party with my level 20 frilly Pikachu to finish hatching those eggs.

So let's see what I was using this for at the time, and...

It's been 5ever since I've booted Poke Bank. Let's see how hard it is to transfer my Pokemon.

Somehow, I guess I'm still in the initial free trial period?
