@IrisKalmia I've done quad skating before, but i've don't inline more recently. still been a while and definitly before I got tall and fat. So i'm basically going to have to learn how to move all over again. Had to do that with snowboarding earlier this year too.

@IrisKalmia I haven't even tried to start the physical training i've been told I need to do before my Plush will let me go to an actual practice. I haven't skated (in-line or quad) for years, and I've never been able to comfortably skate backwards on command. I've got so much to learn and am so out of shape.

But this is something I wanna try. both for the community, and the physical activity.

@IrisKalmia Size 13 US Mens, Size 15 US Womens. I don't doubt that I could find some very cheap starter skates, but I want to get something good enough for full speed play, and meeting arena spec requirments too. Those are multi-hundreds.

Hecking Spark! Derby skates are bloody expensive. Man, why tf everything gotta cost money?

re: Consider the following: 

@Alistor @mawr Well, what started me thinking about it was that article that i saw on telegram about that stupid TERF who tried to say trans people are bad for derby and getting stomped on by actual derby players.

I thought it was pretty cis exclusive, myself. Hearing otherwise unlocked some thoughts.

re: Consider the following: 

@mawr I dunno. You are v soff and derby is pretty rough.

JK. You'd be awesome.

re: Consider the following: 

@mmsword @zebratron2084 That was one of the thoughts I had when thinking about getting into it. I'm still trying to get comfortable being out and queer.

re: Consider the following: 

@zebratron2084 I mean, yes. but also, I'm seriously thinking about trying to join a rec league or something. I liked skating growing up, and I miss the physical contact from playing footbal. I loved using my body, and sitting in my multi-screen battlecradle isn't really moving me around much.

It's been so long since I remember having a dream. The last one wasn't that great.

Other complaining about technology 

My mice have a habit of acting in very stupid ways.

My Logitech Performance MX has worked flawlessly on my MacMini for Months. And all of a sudden last week, it decides it wants to freeze and not respond, at random. So, I buy a refurbished one, thinking that Mouse is just old and dying (i've had her for something like 3-4 years, and I use tech HARD) New Mouse shows up, and it keeps having the same issue. I do some digging, and apparently, the Unifying receiver just doesn't play nice with USB 3? Like.. what? Then why did it work just fine when I first switched to the Mini?

So now I'm on the hunt for a Mac compatible mouse that has 4 thumb buttons with assignable functions (preferably separated by application) and horizontal scrolling.

Why don't computers ever make glitching sense?

A dive through an OLD archive. 

So, I finally got an IDE to USB adapater, so I can try and get data off some old, OLD hard drives i've had kicking around for... Years. As i find funny or neat things, I'll share them. Memes, cool things, images sent through time from my past to comfort me in my present, in hopes I'll feel better about the future. For my first one, A semi-threatening macro

@adeptomega@snouts.online Good lift, safe landing, friend!

re: local question, older furry stuff 

@Oneironott I've got a bunch in various safes and boxes. I'd be happy to dig them out for you.

I am not a cutie. I am not adorable. I am a highly advance, fully autonomous engine of mass destruction.

Anyway, felt awesome. might delete later, IDK.

Nope. Asteroids aren't cutting it for me. Still too much undirected energy inside.
