re: Furry Art Commission Request, please respond by DM 

@PsyChuan@snouts.online I KNOW! I wasn't questioning my good fortune at the time, but holy shit! I paid Toots like 20 extra bucks just cause I felt she should be getting more. She has long since raised her prices.

Furry Art Commission Request, please respond by DM 

So, (holy shit!) Back in 2009, I got this refsheet done for who I was at the time, Kelly. The sheet itself was completed digitally, but the pink husky artwork was all traditional media, and I was sent the original. I got the whole thing done for 20 bucks.

I am definitely not trying to match that price, for this much detail. Never.

But.

_Some_ things about me have changed. And I want my Refsheet to match.

So, I'm wanting to get a new ref. I'm looking for this same kind of detail, poses and closeups. If you know someone who's open, please let me know!

Naze Nani Huskybots! (CW: Sci-fi, OC data dumping, Nerding cause that's how I do. 

Been a while since I did one of these, so have another Huskybot Techdump!

Huskybot platforms use forced airflow over coolant filled radiators to keep their circuitry and power systems cool. The main fans for their radiators are located in their upper torsos, with intake vents underneath the main torso plate. The exhaust are on their backs, the vents part of their thruster pylons, but variations have been spotted as KA experiments with optimizing airflow.

Fanspeed is regulated by several sensor readings, and effectively moderated through emotional processing buffers. This basically means that you can gauge the emotional state of a huskybot by listening to the pitch of their fans. excitement, happiness, anger, sadness, frustration all take more power to integrate and process, so KA figured that tying her support systems to get data from the systems they are supposed to support was a pretty smart way of offloading intense number crunching to automation.

The only exception to this is when the bot is scared, or is under threat. Their fans shut off in order to minimize output so they are harder to pick up on sensors. To compensate for this, their coolant pump increases its speed, to keep coolant flowing through the radiators faster, to keep the temperature of the coolant from rising too much to be effective, and to constantly keep coolant running through the radiators to maintain nominal operating temp.

@mawr Yeah, I was thinking more one the lines of a permanent installation for your office audio setup, not mobile music production.

@mawr I look at that, and all i want to do is mount them from the ceiling to return some floor space.

Behavioral health quandary 

@Motodrachen adding a +1 for myself. I will literally ride and die for my friends, asking for headpat or a snuggle feels like I’m begging selfishly for attention.

Michelle was right. (CW: Work bitching, Destroy Capitalism, The River Tribe is not my friend) 

I am an overtime eligible member of the River Tribe. I'm tasked to complete 40 hours of work every week.

I earn 3 classes of paid time off, sick, personal, and vacation.

Personal accumulates at a certain rate, depending on how long i remain a member of the tribe.

Personal accumulation is capped to 48 hours (6 days) per year. Once I have earned 48 hours, i don't earn any more.

If I don't use any of those 48 hours, they roll over into next year, where they are applied to the 48 possible hours I can earn that year.

My former coworker was correct. I will not be satisfied with my job until I own and run my own business.

@LexYeen@snouts.online yoooooooo you got my invite code for that yet?

So, after all my hemming and hawing and trying to explain the look for huskybots I'm going for,

it turns out the closest i've seen so far it.

@orrery ⚙️ 🤖 💎 🌠 🌹 when?

re: A work frustration: 

@orrery I just don't get why it's the norm, though. We, as passionate, knowledgeable people, hell, just as people, aren't being given the time we need to do our work the way it should be done. Just so that people who don't even care can get richer, faster.

A work frustration: 

System 1 is slated for deprecation, therefore improvements for System 1 are not being prioritized.

Systems 2 through X rely on information stored and served by System 1. Systems 2 through X provide services for essential normal operations and issues with them have the potential to cause problems with increasing blast radii over time.

At this time, there is not even a proposal, prototype, or mitigation plan in place to create System A to provide the System 1 support systems 2 through X require.

System 1 is slated for deprecation.

Michelle was right. I will not recovery my sanity until I am running my own company.

And when I find them, they should be easy to fucking interpret.

re: Social Tutorial Ask, CW: Drug mention. 

@Ratttz Either. Both. if you've got a data source available.

@LexYeen@snouts.online @CoronaCoreanici @starkatt I think I'd also bring back an airtight, sealed sample of our current air, so they can prove it to themselves about how bad things are gonna get.
