I think the Delta IV Heavy wins some points for "Extremely Kerbal engineering" because they made the rocket bigger by taping two extra copies of the bottom stage to the sides.

Now if you'll take a look at my resume, you can see that I'm a native speaker of Online.

@Eve@witches.town whuf, yeah, that is complicated. Solidarity.

@Oneironott you help me feel real and that's so very worthwhile 💜💖💜

@indi @senemura@occult.camp @green I second that perception, actually. In my Dresden Files game we put a nameless occult coffeeshop in the basement because that seemed to fit.

@mxsparks ... Now I'm tempted to send you a photo of my work boots :)

@benhamill@cybre.space tool usually used for cutting wire, especially for trimming long component leads after soldering. Like tiny scissors but it clips, not shears.

@benhamill@cybre.space I find a small diagonal cutter works *really* well. Nail clippers are generally garbage.

The pantheon from Bastion (2011 game) is really quite excellent. Each of the twelve gods represents both a value and its negation and I haven't seen anyone write about it.

e.g. "Jevel, the god of health and atrophy. We each have the Tower Keeper's strength in us, until that strength runs out."

Fun fact: Nimrod was a Biblical hunter of great renown. The American use of "nimrod" as an insult (meaning someone who's foolish and short-sighted) is due in large part to Bugs Bunny's use of the name as a mocking description of Elmer Fudd.

trans stuff (silly) 

okay so now that we've buried the idea of auto{g*ne,andr*}ph*lia with a stake through its heart...

s/auto/allo/ for the much more common condition where one develops an unshakable conviction that all trans {women,men} are shockingly beautiful except for oneself 😭

gimme fifty bucks and i won't tell bl*nch*rd about it ...

Along with everything else in the Meyers-Briggs being bunk, trying to draw a binary classification between "introvert" and "extrovert" is some de-contextualizing, alienating bullshit.

sadly these headphones, while excellent, don't actually get Bad Idea Loud just being driven off of my motherboard jack.
