re: Covid 19, medical equipment shortage
@SouthernGothHick I'm torn between saying the problem is more nuanced than that, the bilateral ground-glass lung interstitials need to be cleared or it's a one-way ticket to ECMO... and just giving you a link to polio-age tech and saying here, knock yourself out.
What the heck. Go nuts.

@arilin "Pens".
They were always "Open Office Pens," to allow for free-range technical staff.
Why did you think the fridges were stocked, the snacks were provided, the delivery services so well funded?
Grazing, waterholes, limited emulation of migration from warmer windows to server coolrooms.
Tender, juicy, free-range staffing solutions.
It was even *ethical*. Sure, cubicle-raised technical worker was more productive *and* tender, but comparisons to veal calf were inevitable.
@djsundog well, to be fair, our ability to postpone reckoning with the end of moore's law doubled with every eighteen months we held on, so somebody probably figured they could ride it out until they retired.
oops.
NSFW (CW:penises, surgery, humour, cutting)
(Urologist) "This technique isn't going to - well, it will leave a mark, and the type of cut we make to prevent post-surgical constriction will be noticable on inspection." (Draws diagram of bunny pronker, marks where he'll be cutting and suturing it in a month or two)
(Moment) "Oh, you're using a Z-cut."
(Urologist) "(...)" (blink) "Y-cut, actually, but the same idea, yes! Actually, sometimes it ends up like a T-cut..." (discusses fascia , ends up with) "- so it's a cosmetic technique, but we're using it for purely functional effect."
(Moment) "That's fine, Doctor. I wasn't planning on entering any Penis Beauty Competitions anyhow."

*siiiiigh*
I... hardly ever get to use the damn thing with anybody. Why does trading appearance for functionality... ache a little?

Gee. Take away my access to my short-term digital scratchpad, give me conflicting verbal instructions for two jobs where the four digit order codes only differ in one number, and be surprised the second time I get it wrong and tell you to fucking write a Change Order, boss. In as many words.
Nothing 'resting' about my bitch face today.
Oh, but I'm *MUCH* faster without soothing distractions like my phone to keep me wasting processor cycles on being 'nice'. I've already filked a song for the Korps, plotted a course of action for the doc I meet in a couple of hours, ordered a high-temperature mastic to seal the ventilation system that's poisoning us every time we cut Acetron on the laser, burnt most of my abbreviated day workload, and checked with the ex-biker at work about the usefulness of quicklime in rapidly disposing of bodies. (It tends to preserve 'em, don't bother.)
Mm. Break's nearly over. Have a good one, all.
@troodon @LexYeen@snouts.online
What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us.
This message is a warning about The Boys.
The danger is in a bright white sports car ... it is waving its' arms in the air ... here is where they think they are.
The danger's car is around us, and coming towards us, in your time as it was in ours.
The danger is to the body, and it is really rollin'.
The form of the danger is probably stolen.
re: work / food
@angrboda I wish you all the best successes at managing the stresses of the upcoming day. n.n
Do you wonder if there were raves at Flipper McGee's, late at night, after hours? Or maybe when it closed, machines gone, ghosts of the cabinets still beeping and blooping on stained carpet? You could almost see them, still. Hell, you could almost PLAY them, if you were rolling.
Best way to be, really...
Flipper McGee's on Molly... XD
@anthracite ... not that you don't have more profitable uses of your time, but have you considered doing dustjacket versions of these, with the spines and a couple paragraphs of flavour text on the back plus a few promotional quotes by authorial peers? For fans to stick over other, lesser books to brighten up their bookshelves?
re: Pyre
@orrery I see nocona has emerged from the flames as a "coming soon" egg.
Unlimited potential, in an egg that hasn't hatched. Isn't there.
I think I'd like it left that way, please.
It's very on brand for me. 💝

Thank you for all of your efforts in matters Prismatical, lo these many years. She was an important part of many cartographies.

@zebratron2084 I vaguely remember Java. You'll be pleased to learn that first, everything resides in a public static void. Feels kinda like home already, doesn't it? n.n
