re: Putting together a good EDC equipment list. RFC 

@tastymochafox Probably not something i need to much of, but lotion would probably be a good addition, thanks!

@starkatt @Heffboom_Konijn I wish I had taken pics of my first self-built rig. Vixenbox 1 was in a pretty standard min-tower running an ABit MB with an 64bit Athalon CPU back when 64bit was still kinda new, and I ran Windows XP on that for years. I was really proud of the transparent and illuminated power supply. It lit up my whole room back in Sunnyvale.

@wobblewuffess that sounds absurdly useful and hard to search for!

@IrisKalmia THANK YOU!

Comments or suggestions?

@mawr A lot could happen in 5 years. We might even find the chassis we're looking for near there and have to roll through to retrieve it.

@mawr April 8, 2024. Looks like it goes right through Cleveland. That would be an awesome trip to take Kyna on.

The River Tribe has decided that my contributions have greater value and is adjusting their compensation accordingly!

That's a good thing to hear just before I take a whole week off!

Had a dream a few nights ago about needing a real haircut. It felt so strange, but really nice having enough hair to be able to run my fingers through it. Woke up a little sad.

re: in which I'm not great at selling three movies 

@Leucrotta I wanted to see Mortal Engines, and I haven't seen Point Break yet, so that's 2 out of three that you sold me on with just titles!

HRT Milestone (+) 

Requested my first refil of sublingual E-tabs since I switched to them back in February. This is something I'm doing to myself and it keeps happening and yeah i get freaked out about it sometimes, but I'm still happy as long as those little blue thingies keep dissolving under my tongue.

re: KA-33, Huskybots of Gateway (OC infodump; CW: Sci-fi concepts, nerdery) 

Huskybots have their chemical analysis sensors that are located at the front of their muzzle modules. The sensor can be shielded by a moveable plate to protect the delicate sensor surface. The shielding can be retracted on demand, but also periodically opens at random as part of the subsystem that helps monitor and maintain Gateway's atmospheres. Having the sensors on mobile platforms means data can be very granular and is useful for doing volumetric and wide area sampling by taking readings from several platforms all at once.

Huskybots love things that smell like desserts.

(Yes this was me trying to figure out why my platforms would have wet noses like real dogs.)

@SuperCee@plush.city I don't think those people really understand a facet of the hulk/banner dynamic. Hulk so far has only really be accepted at face value by 3 people he's close to, & a stadium of strangers that want to see brutal fights. Everyone else seem him as exploitable. The person he should be closest to is afraid and resentful of him, only allows him out in the middle of life and death, dangerous situations and after they're done, Banner shoves him back in the box. Hulk saying No made me so happy.

@SuperCee@plush.city Also yes, i am a huge fucking nerd.

Praxis explanation 

@SuperCee@plush.city That's easy. Praxis was a moon of the Klingon homeworld that had been industrialized for energy production.
In the 23rd century, it experienced a huge engineering casualty due to over-mining and insufficient safety procedures that physically destroyed over 2/3rds of the sattelite.

The resulting environmental crisis (sub-space radiation depleting breathable oxygen through the creation of ozone) would have rendered the homeworld uninhabitable within 50 years.

Seeing ano pprotunity, The Federation proposed renewed diplomatic contact with the Klingon Empire and proposed sending the Starfleet flagship to escort Gowron, the Klingon's High Chancellor, to the proposed peace summit.

Due to security concerns and mistrust between Federation officials, dissent among the Starfleet Admiralty, and reactionaries in the Klingon government, the location of the summit was changed several times until finalized (after the unfortunate assassination of Chancellor Gowron) to the planet Khitomer, where the historic Khitomer Accords were signed, thus officially ending the Klingon/Federation Cold War.

These events were dramatized in the pre-historical documentary Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.

Thus, Praxis: A new event that while unexpected, can lead to a better future.
