the shading of the concrete bricks next to the window too. Gary got detailed on this one

Hmm the most ionic thing is probably my blood plasma. There’s a pretty high concentration of various ions - sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), calcium (Ca2+), chloride (Cl-), and bicarbonate (HCO3-). Ion party in my blood!

I gotta imagine a pucker factor of 10 though as you are falling into that tank!

King Trent from Xanth 😂

fr though allmy parents were physically and emotionally abusive. School was a nightmare due to ND and the parents. There really weren’t any good adults in my life. I raised myself on books, pretty much. King Trent was my idealized role model, I read those books during a very formative time.

He was the most powerful guy in the land but he was kind and caring to every creature. When the people who are supposed to protect you are hurting you that kind of thing seems very wonderful.

The Xanth books haven’t held up very well at all, the author let a lot of pretty creepy misogyny in to his sci-fi in the way a lot of authors did back then.

But I still would hope that if King Trent met me he would be proud of me and say some super nice kingly shit. Then I would ask him to make me a woman (he could transform things) :)

American Astronaut

the implication is that transphobes are friends with science because they believe it agrees with them

what other interpretation makes any sense?

he got the laser printer on the left for printing stories about his cat and the inkjet on the right for printing pictures of his cat

my nickname for my cat is Amex because she’s everywhere you want to be

If I have a large cart of groceries I don’t like self checkout. if i have time I turn all the items so the bar code is on the bottom and stack them so they are easy to drag over the scanner. I also only use the first 2/3 of the belt that’s closest to the checker so they don’t have to lean over and reach for anything.

Staggering produce items introduces slowdowns so best to put them all at the end so you can do your payment info while stuff is being weighed.

My checkouts are fast af.

very close! that cone bra is from her 1990 Ambition Tour!

I’m at level 125 or so in Starfield, NG+7 or 8.

They told me it was gonna be fallout in space. I love fallout, a lot. I love space.

I am into Starfield.

The only thing I have grown to hate, absolutely despise and if there is not a zero day console mod for this I’m making one; the damn temple mini game where you have to touch the little balls. Omfg what a pain in the ass.

Everything else I like. I look forward to dlc and mods.

IIRC from the book they engineered the original set of dinosaurs so they couldn’t produce the amino acid lysine and would (so they expected) require lysine supplements in their diet or they would die.

Then the dino’s escape and woops it turns it they can just eat chickens to get their lysine and it isn’t an issue for them.

at the core of humor is the twist, where you expected one thing but get another. In an anti joke or meme the twist is usually that there is no joke, but the format set you up to expect one.

i use pixlr which is a lot like photopea

A unit used to measure the activity of many vitamins, hormones, enzymes, and drugs. An IU is the amount of a substance that has a certain biological effect. For each substance there is an international agreement on the biological effect that is expected for 1 IU. Also called International Unit.

I use this service on my iphone and i like it a lot.

You have to disable it sometimes when some legitimate service emails you a link with a tracking url that won’t resolve but that is pretty rare and worth all the ad blocking it does.

I wonder how far back you could send say the Feynman Lectures and have the genius of that era make use of it.

Like would Archimedes be able to do anything with it given it doesn’t include the instructions for calculus and such and has such a modern context

How about the pyramid engineers

there’s a lake of T and Oestregen too, you can wear knee socks and use Linux/GNU at the canadian traaaaansy mountain

ridiculous, made me chuckle thank you
