@MapleDeer Maybe someday you'll get a chance to train with the goddamn turbo dragons.

You might be surprised what you can learn about aircraft design from modern automotive manufacturing for instance. We're all wrangling the same laws of physics, we just have different ideas about what our machines should be Capable of.

Given Titanium enough, we could build flying cars.

@MapleDeer That gets easier with time. If you really wanna have something that gives you universal flex potential, get an old austrian puch moped, and learn how air has mass and inertia.

In a very real, visceral way. *Grins* You wanna know about Flying, you've gotta feel what it's like on the Ground.

@MapleDeer I'm a hell on wheels machinist and everything in there said 'Serious Bizniss' so I'm kinda intimidated.

I've worked on AMRAAM components and wired
Ohio Class submarine antennas. And this place was the most... I... Hm.

The Tohri part of me was leaping in Joy the whole time, because it was a little cave stuffed to the brim with pure japaneesium, forged on the goddamn Moon. I can live in such a place, and feel good about what I do.

Walked into a machine shop today and was face to face with a Tool Steel Dragon.

Got the job, I start tomorrow.

AAAAAAAAAAAAA

re: genderfeels 

@clipclopboom@snouts.online I got yelled at on twitter by some kinda Truscum teenager that 'Herm' was offensive to intersex people.

Like bitch, you try living with a Girlcock all your life, I am a goddamn intersex people. No, I'm not an 'Androgyne' that's your manic pixie girlfriend. Besides, greek before latin.

genderfeels 

You know, the most fitting label for me is also one that the community probably doesn't Like.

Because I'm intersex/hermaphrodite or something like that, but I've kinda Always been recognized as that. So, I'm Cisgender, but, uh... Like, Both.

And really, it's to the point where it doesn't Matter. I just feel like an impostor in a lotta trans spaces, because I Started Out this way. The whole Male thing was just so I could go to work and not get shat all over.

And that didn't work.

@Kilroy@snouts.online Tohri: This is essentially my entire Existence.

@clipclopboom@snouts.online Keri: Feels. I can be a bitch, but I never freak out my Career or expectations or what folks think about me.

That shit can grenade his entire transmission.

@Kaffe@chitter.xyz @budgiebin@snouts.online Large Boid.

@Kaffe@chitter.xyz For this one, you'd better ask @budgiebin@snouts.online

Kerithe: Does anyone else have a headmate who'll persist in front and using up all the available headspace with poisonous thinking just because they're hurting, and you'll be squished in the corner screaming 'Tap Out you stubborn bastard!" as loud as you can?

'Cause I need like... A tranquilizer gun or something for when Tohri goes all Kaiju.

"Do your part" energy conservation plans, like turning lights off when you leave the room, are great for your energy bill, but their job as part of "lowering carbon footprints" is to deflect from the big corporations that actually use the vast majority of the power.

For example, the average US stand-alone home uses ~11,000 kWh per year.

The VERY MOST EFFICIENT roadside LED billboard uses ~61,000 kWh per year. That number rises to ~323,000 kWh at the top end.

@clipclopboom@snouts.online Hey now, I'm going through a similar crisis too, so..

I suppose you have company on That one.

TFW you're in a magic mood and communing with a Spirit you're close with who's got Infinity's home phone number, but the part of you that's good at Trig is wide awake...

Fuck I just fully understood something I read in a Clarke novel fifteen years ago.

re: Lucid Nightmares 

@clipclopboom@snouts.online Either way, laying out a celtic cross for yourself can give you a good idea of where and when you are.

Maybe your wife can have a chat with Mine sometime, She's been adapting well to magic.

re: Lucid Nightmares 

@clipclopboom@snouts.online ugh I hate those. I had a continuious narrative dream last night that was so Weird that I had to re-center myself with a Tarot reading for the wife, and one for me from her Feng-shui deck.

Both were hyper-accurate and complete, so it served to anchor my situation better in my mind. Maybe see if you can share the Tarot with your wife as a form of analytical magic.
