Duna and back using only electric power in stock KSP. Note: ion engines don't have enough thrust to reach orbit. Serious shenanigans are required.

gaming, capitalism 

Income inequality has created people who can afford to -be- whales, and the market has created commodities to suit them.

All of the devastated bank and credit accounts of children and vulnerable people are, from the perspective of the marketplace, either an undesirable side effect or pure gravy from a commodity being consumed by people outside of its target demographic, IE, people with mad stacks o' cash.

The FTL soundtrack really is sublime, y'all.

I highly recommend it if you like slightly-abstract instrumental synth, even if you have no interest in the game.

The game is great too though :)

I hereby propose a new Mastodon Slang Lingo addition: when u get boosted by Gargron it's called "getting gargled" now

Hey so how does the durability of vegan leather compare to actual cowhide? I need a new belt for daily wear and am wondering if vegan might be a good option.

(Love my chainmail belt, but using it as dailywear seems to mean it'll require more frequent maintenance than I want to deal with.)

Thx for your feedback, folks! We will improve the default privacy of toots so it will work like on web mastodon.

Oddities of English: tape measure ≠ measuring tape.

Muddy political terminology in the US also means when people say "I'm a socialist" without further qualifiers it's impossible to tell if they mean "we need to overthrow capitalism" or "I think the State should own the railroads".

Y'know what, in terms of political terminology it's super irritating that social democracy ≠ democratic socialism.

Key: social democracy is capitalist (think Scandinavia), democratic socialism is not (think DSA).

It's almost as bad as how ambiguous "liberal" is in the US.

Hi I seem to enjoy writing really long sentences.

G'night.

One thing I think its really neat about the sun is that the photosphere, the bright visible part that we see, is actually the least hot part of the star. The plasma is hotter both above and below.

The corona is upwards of ten million degrees and we're not sure yet why it's so hecking hot.

Natalie, further organizing 

So at the memorial service for Natalie in Seattle today, we spun up a Discord server for further solidarity, memorialization, and organization, including potential legal action.

Here's the invite link. Any freind of hers is welcome.

The door handle on our oven fell right off and the door started falling apart while it was baking at 350f and I just fixed it in under five minutes while still hot.

I don't know if screenings of UFO pseudo-documentaries has ever been part of a funerary service before, but it has now and I'm really glad for it.

Today was healing. Thank you to everyone there for making it so.

collar question 

so, whenever i end up replacing my collar (which died), i'm thinking about having it be a kind i can wear in the bath/shower and stuff, instead of leather maybe

i've seen a few kinds like that over the years, one a bit like a coated steel rope (like you might secure a bike with) and one was like a perfect stainless steel ring [which needed a special key to open it] :3

but i don't remember their names

and idk if there's cool new ones

pls tell me ones you like? (boostable if you wanna)
