39, they/them or any neopronouns. One half (1/4 if you count the kittens) of Ship Wrecks, streaming video games and fanart on YouTube and Twitch. Ramblings about fanfic, lots of fanart, and reblogs of stuff about LiS, TLT, LGBT+ rights, anti-racism, and/or cats. Proud trans cat dad.
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.
enough reclaiming slurs, I think in 2023 we should reclaim nascar. they banned the confederate flag on all properties & their stance on lgbtq+ isn’t just performative bc in 2013 they fined a driver 10k for using a homophobic slur, condemned indiana in a statement for an anti lgbt law, and partnered w carolina’s lgbt+ chamber of conference in 2022. nascar was founded by anti-cop moonshiners/bootleggers who drove suped-up fords to out-run the police. #yaaascar
When she was 90 percent asleep, she heard the door very quietly unlatch and close. Then she counted, and at the end of five counts there was Pyrrha at the door saying, “Ah, my darling hearts, my sleeping babes, Daddy’s own treasures,” and Camilla saying without opening her eyes, “Go to bed. I just got her to sleep.”
Today at 3pm ET, I stream still more Coral Island with new game +! Our lovely Mx. Gideon Nav will explore the water mines, flirt with teh ladiez, tend her farm animals, and other chill stuff.
Initially read this as "Elvis" instead of "Elves," but go on.
Worldbuilding thought.
Elves live a lot longer than other people... But not as much longer as everyone thinks.
Elves over 1000 years old are common. They are the sources of all known history, first-hand account of centuries past.
But some point in extablishing Elven translation they missed that Elves work in base-6 and 1000 is actually just 216.
No-one else lives long enough to realise this discrepancy because that's still like three human life-spans, and Elves care too little about everyone else to notice it. They believe that human lives are merely a blink of the eye for them because if they blink they've already forgotten about you.
