…microsoft applications have an annoying habit of auto-replacing my dashes with emdashes; i don’t even know how to type an emdash…

…tildes reminds me a bit of usenet culture before the eternal september…

…i disassembled the factory radio in my 1990 geo prizm and soldered an auxilliary cable onto the pre-amplification stage traces; it worked pretty well suspending a portable CD player from the rearview mirror for shock protection back in the days before memory buffers were a thing, even better with those little vinyl bands installed around the disc edge for additional gyroscopic stability…

…this is its best use case: something very specific but with waaaay too niche to justify its production cost, like an image for one scene of one session of one group of four players…

…if you have the economy of scale for publication, real art by real artists is often (but not always) definitively stronger…

…when i trained as a rescue diver, i learned that it’s not drowning unless you die: if you survive, it’s a near-drowning…

…for fine drafting, rotation is the last thing you want: that chisel-tip is precious, lead holders are love, lead holders are life…

…pretty much this: you’ll be fined for anything other than well-groomed grass growing in your yard…

…i climbed onto the roof of the press box over kyle field and peed into the open air hundreds of feet below: it evaporated before hitting the ground…

…the craziest part was that it wasn’t there throughout the entire show: during that particular set, it loomed up from nowhere behind the stage and then lurched out over the crowd, or at least those of us who had pushed up front on the floor…

…i’ve seen some pretty epic shows by some pretty epic bands, but the last time i saw muse play, i did not expect to see a F*CKING HUNDRED-FOOT MECHA lunge out from the stage…

…i tie back my hair or tuck it behind my ears when i eat…

…ah, i can’t recall whether rivendell included two separators, but it was also packaged in sub-boxes with separate instruction books, which made teamwork a snap…

…we (my wife + myself) were so disappointed by barad-dûr afterward!..we didn’t buy it, so we haven’t built it, but based on the photos it’s neither inspired nor crafted to the same exceptional standard as rivendell…

…why does it include three pry-tools?..

…came here to post the same: we have a lot of flagship lego sets but rivendell is an unparalleled masterpiece, so exceptional that it makes almost everything else seem unworthy of shelf space by comparison…

…homo sapiens sapiens: so wise we named ourselves twice…

…so the thing is that, after accounting for time dilation, light is instantaneous and perhaps better-described as the speed of causality…even a ‘perfect stick’ comprising quantum-crystal wonder-material can’t move before it’s pushed, so you’d find that it, too, transmits information at the speed of light…

…i think the early stages will be fuzzy over the next four years but the `states will be fully engaged within six…

…multi-whole-grain sourdough and way more dairy than i should be eating…
