As I gaze at the structural column in Copley Station, cracked nearly in two and held together with zip ties that have been carefully painted over to match the column underneath, I feel my soul intertwined with that of a small Italian boy of days gone by, who also stopped to look up at a large, groaning, newly painted tank full of molasses

as someone who categorically sucks at getting their shit together, i get it. 100%. someone's shit not being together does not bother me. unless and until

they get mad at the people who are trying to help them with the togetherness of their shit as long as they just make One Decision sometime in the next few months

up to the point where the people say "we can't do this forever, the consequence we've been telling you about for months can't be put off much longer" and still pull strings and grit teeth to put it off a bit longer than they should but the consequence eventually happens and shit is still so un-together that the helpee doesn't even ask about it until another month later

and then says they're going to sue us.

#we are not getting sued lol #she hasn't even given enough of a shit to show up to meet with the owner #it took her six months to return our weekly calls about her dog's body i don't think she has the spoons to hire a lawyer

do it for her (your thirteen year old self)

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1

The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.

So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.

So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.

Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.

And the probe is working again.

From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

"oh Astarion is SOOOO effeminate" wrong. You are judging Astarion by human genders. Astarion is first and foremost a high elf and by high elf standards he is actually INCREDIBLY masc. Other high elves look at him and he reminds them of that one annoying straight guy in their elf-economics (elfenomics if you will) class in elf-college who loved playing devil's advocate. And then they see him kiss a guy and they almost die of shock.

All the night scenes in the Fallout show are so dark. They should have lit it like the games and had all of the characters talking to the vault dweller girl have a bright green pip-boy light shining directly in their face

you know what really gets my goat?

#adding it to the list of 'things i thought were just Known Things but i'm older than them' #sublist 'the reason they got ingrained in me as a kid is bc they had just become a Thing and all my science and sci-fi mags were On It'
