Happy #AceVisibilityDay
for years, computers being more useful was cool. the nerds would make computers more useful, and i'd be like "this computer thing is now even more cool than it was!!"
but now the nerds have made computers about as useful as they seem to be able to. so theyve stopped making them useful, and started making them cool - based on what their idea of Cool is. nerds love all those new software frameworks. they love abstraction!! they love a Complicated Thing Inside A Thing. and now computers are shitass
Public Service Announcement:
Wear your Safety Glasses.
Torque everything to spec.
Use EVERY guard and safety your tools are equipped with, and make some of your own while you're at it.
Stand Well Clear of any possible debris trajectories when around automated machines.
Treat every running tool as if it's Radioactive. Human flesh goes nowhere near spinny bits.
I had a Lathe's safety door blow clean off it's rollers and whack me in the Chest today, and I was observing the above rules.
the most important thing I want people to know about Western art history is that most of these "great masters" and renaissance geniuses were using mirrors and lenses to trace proportions, as well as literal teams of background artists and support technicians. the cult of individual male art genius continues to this day, in similar workshops. especially in modern installation art. the "genius" behind the art just comes up with a concept and relies on others' labor to actually create it.
what im saying is: kill the art critic in your head.
The student bowed.
"Master, I am sorry."
"Why were you absent yesterday?" the sword master asked.
"I don't know. I... simply could not get out of bed."
"If this happens again..."
"Yes?"
"Allow yourself to stay in bed."
"Master?"
"A blunt sword can be honed. A broken one can not."
