@tastymochafox I predominantly use 💜 because it's most me online. Red and black seem to have connotations for people: purple seems less threatening.

"There's your maintenance schedule, your scan and testfit for a complementary synthpelt glove in the RealTex fur of your colour choice is down the hall on your left. And here's your GOOJ."

Distracted by the interplay of parts and painless operation of his new hand and wrist, Moment needs a few seconds to catch up. "Er, my googe?"

The doctor chuckles, fitting xis street eyes back into place as xe hands over papers. "Get Out Of Jail. In case it goes evil."

@jaidatruck@mastodon.social Chiba backstreet medical augmentation clinics... on OHIP.

I am *DOWN* FOR THIS.

"Well Mr. Rabbit, we could prescribe a surgical consult, outpatient work, a few months of physio and rehab, and even then there's still a 10-15% chance the schwanomae will return. Or."

"O-or?"

(Doctor puts a matte-grey box on the desk, which seamlessly opens to reveal a forearm replacement prosthetic, dark grey metal and gleaming cables. It flexes restlessly.) "Oroku-Sendai."

@Leucrotta It's one of the most stressful things there is, moving. Hang on. *hugs*

Introduction time again? The months fly by.

I'm Moment. Slightly silly rabbit. Taking a Jackalope certification course online, hope my antlers will be in the mail soon. I used to draw, hand's frotzed now. Used to chat, had that impulse surgically cut off. Spend my days operating an industrial laser and waterjet, my nights staring into screens and sleeping. Very rarely but occasionally Make Interesting Things. Exhausted often.

Interests:




@Jssra I am always surprised after I use my p100 mask at work. It's a good fit, light, no scents to speak of (not solventproof, of course): until I take it off, after whatever I've been doing has ventilated (usually smoke).

I'm always struck by how much the shop reeks - of *dust*. A smell I rarely notice unless I stop smelling it long enough to stop being noseblind to it.

Amazing how a single offhand, meaningless flippancy can utterly unmoor your life's expected trajectory.

(RL stuff. It's... Complicated.)

strange stoned late-night question; meme-adjacent 

@zebratron2084 Licorice. Do... do people *make* it with dark chocolate? I mean... orange and dark chocolate, that'd be a pleasant confection, sure, but that's not Tiger Tail. Nor is it you. 💜

strange stoned late-night question; meme-adjacent 

@zebratron2084 Mm. You're *definitely* an intoxicant of some sort... no, more esoteric... Ah!Tiger-tail ice cream with a sub-clinical dose of psilocybin in the orange stripes. n.n

I'm amber. That'd taste like cream, at least powdered baltic amber does. (Don't grind amber and snort it, s'bad for you.) Probably with some caramel to sweeten it up, and some cola nut and a little carbonation for flavour and mouth feel.

financial (-) 

And bless your little hearts, medical staffing agency. "We're just calling to see if there's something wrong with your credit card, or if there's another credit system you'd prefer to switch to, as something appears to have disrupted your payments?" No, dear sweet summer child, we can't afford to pay for the care that comes to bathe the Mother of the Mate once extra (twice a week). We juggle our payments and occasionally we drop the ball. Thank you for pretending otherwise. 9.9

work (-) 

I find I am spending more time trying to overcome unsurmountable obstacles to completing work than actually completing work. Like a suborbital doom beam that cannot hold beam width from one project to the next consistently - or even through a single cutting project. This is bleeding the joy out of work: Sisyphus I am not.

Catching myself entering early burnout vectors. Tying to change my direction, but it's hard work, on top of this unending effort to make things work at work. >.<

Note to self: the carbide in the shop's tools is much tougher than the carbide in your microlathe's tooling.

**SCAVENGE IT FROM THE BROKEN TOOLS AND GRIND IT TO NEW PROFILES FOR YOUR LATHE** seriously this shit is the bomb

Note to self: the initial period of syncronization fail with VLC opening Macromedia livestreams is a cluster of 2us network jitter hits, about 50 in rapid succession, right after it goes through trying every codec it has ever heard of against the stream. This is well within acceptable network congestion limits individually: together, perhaps not. Why is it clustering? What's not getting frobbed in a timely fashion while it skims its codec library?

Dig deeper into codec loading hierarchy.

mood (-) 

@zebratron2084 If you want a hand with the crazy glue, well. Who's crazier than me?

(Lots of people. I'm *really sane* for the most part. Honest.)

But seriously, if I can be Useful... you know how to get hold of me. Leave a message. Always nice to hear from you. n.n

body glitches 

@LexYeen First two pages, anyhow. The rest may be overkill for relatively young otherwise healthy patients like you and I. XD

::tail falls off, cracks when it hits the floor::

...aw dammit...

@porsupah ghods... i've already blocked it from conscious memory...

ah. "Hard Ticket to Hawaii". It was *atrocious*. No redeeming features. Far too little of the irradiated toxic killer snek we had been promised would be envenomating people left and right. Nowhere near enough explosions. Far too much mammary (and yes, *I'm* saying that). And the acting. It must have been there somewhere...

Chat had fun. n.n

Usually the fare is more sciencefictional, if no less terrible.

body glitches 

@LexYeen The handout my doc gave me is pretty much this one: don't know about the rest of the site it's on, but this bit's good. If doing it in one direction makes the BPV worse, you want to try the other direction's instructions.
