Always tooting for th'antihero @Momentrabbit@awoo.space

@literorrery I feel the same way about chipfabs, actually.

@catgoat An actual dog and pony show.

My old-school gearhead self - the one mucking from a VT220 - is quietly pleased.

So, I'm back on the missing meds, just in time to remember that Discontinuation is A Thing, as are side effects that go away with regular use but come back when you stop taking them for a bit, and congratulations, you can have both at once if your timing is good.

Only way out is through. I shall be fine. Been this way before.

Just tired, today.

Missed a few days of the cocktail of antidepressants and such I'm always on, because drug renewals are such a hassle. Putting off mental healthcare 'just one more day' always seems like such an insideously harmless idea. A day off one or two meds will hardly dent serum blood concentrations. I know lots of cognitive techniques to keep on top of emotional thinking. I certainly won't let multiple meds slip repeatedly. Not again.

This time, as the cartoon moose says, for sure.

@001zlnv u.u My condolences.

@JulieSqveakaroo I have a special pillow for my desktop, for just such occurrences. *headdesk* Poor Raccoon!

@JulieSqveakaroo That's it, I'm ordering you the milkshake tanker. Lemme know when you hear it backing up to your loading bay.

(*whew*. Also, *tight hugs*)

@Oneironott "If we hadn't fought him with all our hearts, with every last flicker of glow, he'd'might've had time to think twice about the wisdom of slaughtering us in full view of several universes of fresh, angry, well-armed reinforcements. Heh." n.n

@Austin_Dern I have often found chirrrr to be satisfying *and* productive!

So, what has actually happened here is the nozzle and the throat elements have separated under heat, allowing pressurized Pinkamena - er, pink PLA filament at 220°C - to ooze out and coat the heating element atop and bottom, caramelizing slightly.

No biggie. Going to clean it off, then retighten with the block *at* temperature, allow to cool, then reassemble. Should solve that problem, and possibly address a minor print issue I noticed.

Dear Process Luna.

Pony mane is not, nor should it be, used as a substitute for printer filament.

Not even once.

Not even 'just the tip'.

Your faithful student,
Fandango Encore

Ps. Please send another Pinkamena.

@JulieSqveakaroo Love you, Sqveakaroo. Best of dreams and luck. 💜

@JulieSqveakaroo We all can and will pass the hat for roopair bills. Repeatedly. Gladly!

Please don't make us pass the hat for a roomembrance.

💜

@JulieSqveakaroo

Roo?

Medical attention now please?

@Ratttz ... Is that a soviet knockoff Big Muff guitar distortion pedal?

FOR LOVE OF LAIKA YOU MUST GET THIS FOR FULLY AUTOMATED LUXURY SPACE COMMUNIST FURRY QUEER OPENING BAND. O.O

@CeruleanK Yipes! I am glad you are well: this is going to be Interesting.

*revs up the big luck generator*

*no, the big one*

*nonono. I said the BIIIIIG one. clear baffin island, we'll need swap space.*

@literorrery I spoke with a certain morbid whimsy, as I usually do, but I was addressing something genuine. You *did* redirect an unwarranted attack, weathered and parried it without escalation, and remained present in the moment until the aggressor retreated. My congratulations are genuine: reinvention is *hard work*, and easy to overdo.

I expect the aftermath will get somewhat easier with practice. 💜

@literorrery It occurs to me that we have all been addressing a model of how th'buni might be reacting to yesterday's events - and that's not invalid, of course! But you've chosen to embody a different set of facets, and we embrace that decision too.

So. Orrery? Thank you for not going shrikebird and scattering that fool's remains across the bus as a warning to future commuters.

Fool is hard to get out of upholstery, and you maintained your composure with decorum and skill. Well done. n.n

@Leucrotta If nothing else, playing for peanuts is a good way to teach kids what to watch for (and get a snack), and learning how to arrange the table from behind the 8-ball is a *crucial* life skill that nobody teaches you in school.

It's not 'pool sharking', it's 'alternative fundraising through social engineering and applied predictive geometry.' 💜
