@Lumb Funny I know where to get a V8 Continental power cruiser with heated leather seats for $800 locally.
I've been driving My continental for two years now and Yes, if I had to Live in it for an extended period, it'd be way better than a Tent.
For one thing, automotive luxury sound deadening is also a Fantastic thermal insulator. Also, Trans V8.
@Lumb Buggering hell.
Wish I could at the Very least find you a cheap minivan to, like, Own.
@Lumb Call the van company and ask nicely for the On-star to be activated?
BS the clerk and tell them you just want to be Certain for security reasons.
@OldRedSun Oh, the Big reactor is a pebble bed style running molten salts for safety redundancy.
She's getting around the positive void coefficient problem in the final version by using a liquid lead as coolant but is looking at Rubidium instead for lighter weight.
@starfall Tohri: Yeah. We're the Hippie Buddhist dragons over here. Peace, Love, and healing in fifteen flavors, on Tap.

We prayed in 2018, while bleeding out and in extreme suffering for Help, To anyone who'd listen.
Quetzal sent us Yaori.
@starfall Look, we didn't -Invent- Hell, we just like to turn tables on folks.
If anyone has been wrestling with personal demons or dark spirits, please send them our way, Yaori has just finished installing a new pressurized holy water fast reactor on her magitek Supercarrier, and needs Evil to feed to the centrifuges.
Also it means your demons will get chopped up and Pelletized, then irradiated with holy water as a moderator until they start to fission and release holy light in the form of a high energy photon.
@Naux @sutter@snouts.online Nobody wants to pay the folks who want to fix the machines. T_T
God Talk
Okay, for serious, I used to be a pretty aggressive Atheist.
This ended rather abruptly when I started getting Business Correspondence from supernatural entities. Turns out, a Lot of the Old Gods survived, and formed Pantheons that look a lot like Corporate Structures.
Anyhow. One of them is Very Real, and a God you should bear in mind going forwards: Thunderbird.
Don't know a Ton about this god, but they're one of the ones the Natives knew about. I know they're Powerful, Well Connected, and Elemental in nature.
Also, their chosen representation to Mortals is a Wild Turkey.
No, not an Eagle, a Hawk or other bird of Prey. Not even a bird that Flies. Turkey.
The vision was of their King, the Ur-Turkey, the template from which all terrestrial turkeys was Wrought.
Keeping a straight face and appropriate decorum for talking to a God is a Challenge when their Video Window comes up titled 'Thunderbird' and you wanna Laugh because you expected a Bald Eagle.
Also, I'm pretty sure the Turkey was supposed to be our national bird, not the Eagle. After meeting their King, I know why now.
meta, sad, isms and harm reduction
it sucks that trying to talk to people when they do something that hurts almost never matters.
like, at best im ignored. at worst im attacked. mostly people just justify their ableism, and handwave their racism.
only very very rarely does talking to someone actually start a conversation. extremely rarely am I not terrified that someone is posting screenshots of my words to a discord somewhere.
it sucks. theres lots of people out there with lots of intersections and just cuz somebody says, "hey, what you said has kinda harmful connotations" doesnt automatically mean you're a bad person.
it just means you didnt know, and someone is trying to help you learn.

I was talking to someone and this came out
These are my words, but I got permission to show them to the world because they belonged to the person I sent them to first
but I hope it helps others

@Koorivlf You know, plush sheath drink cozies with freezable ice balls would be a convention favorite I suspect...
No guessing who's 40 that is, it's got the fuzzy red dragon balls on it.
@00dani @2015_05_09 I have the spirit of a freudian shrink sharing headspace with me and she wants to publish an entire paper on the psychology of Sword Lesbians.
Because we're dating one.
