unsung benefit i think a lot of ppl are sleeping on with using the public library is that i think its a great replacement for the dopamine hit some ppl get from online shopping. it kind of fills that niche of reserving something that you then get to anticipate the arrival of and enjoy when it arrives, but without like, the waste and the money.

#heh #it’s gonna be may #justin timberlake #words #pronunciation #mine isn’t a pronunciation but a spelling #since I was four or five #I always thought the swedish word for breakfast was a combo of fruit+cheese #a troll on a cassette tape taught me this #so I spelled it ‘fruktost’ but it’s actually spelled ‘frukost’ without that middle t #and somehow #no one called me out on this #until literally high school #imagine my swedish teacher’s surprise #here’s this tiny sixteen-year-old who writes eir essays like a perfect little book #and then ae can’t spell breakfast #and also #imagine my surprise #and horror #when I got that one essay back with a red underscore and a bunch of scribbled ??? around it #so of course I explained my thinking to her #she just about died #good times #and it’s such a hilarious story that I told my family at dinner that night #and my friends at school #they still bring it up occasionally #I’ve also told my bestie and she never wastes an opportunity to spell it that way at me #brb dying #these tags got away from me #about me

it's horrible to realize you spent a whole day doing things you know you technically love in beautiful sunshine but horrified and panicky and millimeters from wanting to completely give up the entire time

Hey you should read The Chronicles of Alsea. (Specifically the two Without a Front books in it, but I recommend reading The Caphenon first for context...)

Height gap romance except the shorter one is frequently depicted in situations where they are contextually taller. The taller one sitting while the shorter one looms over them. Both of them lying in bed with the taller one’s head pressed to the shorter one’s chest. The shorter one straddling the taller one’s lap and leaning down for a kiss. The taller one on their knees as the shorter one tilts their head up. Please, it makes me go feral

#just saying #chronicles of alsea #height gap #tropes #these books are so good #and have so many good tropes #and so many good subversions of common tropes #oh yeah and also the end of outcaste has some of this because of Issues #iirc

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.

when christian artists change the line in hallelujah from “maybe there’s a God above” to “I know that there’s a God above” >:c
