Wonderful moment at the show last night:

Singer: "It's way too hot in here, let's maybe relax for a bit. Let's all sit down for this one."

And then they and the bassist went to sit in the middle of the stage, and the audience of probably 50-100 people all followed suit. We listened to the whole song from the floor.

unrelated reminder that the UK metal festival Bloodstock had to ask performers to not swear during stage banter because if the wind is right the audio carries a mile and a half to a nearby WW1 memorial graveyard

and apparently while music just sounds like white noise at that distance, someone shouting "ARE YOU HAVING A FUCKING GOOD TIME YOU BASTARDS" over the PA is recognisable and so they had some complaints

@emanate If you read it we can talk about it and then hey, bam, we made a book club!!

@starkatt this is the part where I go Extremely Jewish and suggest y’all are *repairing* it.

Every once in a while I think about what me and especially some of my friends are doing re: gender, and I'm like "fuck yeah, we're breaking the world!"

Excited about a new smart phone (+) 

@Felthry @mawr I do recommend actually checking the specific bands supported. My last phone was an Asus model meant for Asian markets, and even though it worked on my carrier lack of correct band compatibility made it get garbage reception indoors.

@Felthry (farthest I got was a couple half-remembered semesters of college calculus.)

@Felthry I'll confess, my math isn't nearly strong enough to actually understand it.

@Felthry "trololol you think the universe is made out of /things/..."

A recurring motif in this book is a three-pointed milky way hanging above a barren world made of glass, and fuck that's a compelling image. I kinda want art of that.

I nominate the Tsiolkovsky Rocket Equation as a candidate for "most frustrating physics equation". You can just hear that natural log mocking you.

@green I have now witnessed a bear catch a salmon live via webcam! Thank you!
