#computers for seniors

[disappointingyellowhighlighter]

A little explainer on what happened with AO3:

Basically, someone or a group of someones decided to levy a DDoS attack. What this means is that they created a botnet (network of devices controlled by a bot, usually run in the background of an unsecured IoT device or computer being used for other things. Think data mining) to flood the servers with false requests for service.

What this does mean: AO3 might go back down, if the attack is relaunched. These types of attacks are usually used against businesses where traffic = money, thereby costing a company money. This isn't really an issue here since AO3 is entirely donation and volunteer based.

What this doesn't mean: stories, bookmarks, etc will be deleted and your anonymously published works will be linked back to you. No vulnerable points are breached during this process, so unless this group ends up doing something else, no data breaches will happen. You are safe, your content is safe.

Please stop trying to nerdsplain to me what being a comp sci major is like I literally have an AS degree in compsci 😭

#i feel like anyone who’s bad at cs just doesn’t know how to fuckin google and problem solve #like if you can’t do basic shit on the computer you should have the ability to figure it out #/* my coworker is a senior btw. she is literally going to graduate next year #i think she should be able to figure out how to save as pdf! #I talk

TERMINAL. BABY. FACE.

Another silly Vault 666 comic, because every time I draw something with Lucifer in it his stupid baby face bugs me. 

It drives him crazy in-universe too, though. He can’t grow facial hair to save his life (only patchy little wisps of almost-invisible blonde peach fuzz). He is 5'2″ and has a baby face and it is SO HARD to get people to take him seriously sometimes. He likes wearing his lab coat outside of his workshop because people still tend to associate “scientist” with “authority” and he will take whatever help he can get at this point.

Doesn’t help that most Wastelanders age like milk due to exposure to elements, poor nutrition, tons of environmental hazards, and radiation everywhere. 

Text translation below cut:

Charlie: Bye guys, be good!

Lucifer: Have fun, girls!

Angel: Must’ve been tough, raisin’ Charlie.

Lucifer: Huh? ...Not really. The vault was safe, and Lilith was SUPER hands-on.

Angel: Well, yeah, but she’s in her 20s now, right? You must’ve been crazy young when she was born.

Lucifer: Uhh... I’m 47.

Angel: NO FUCKIN’ WAY!

Arrow to Alastor: 36 years old

I have an AP comp sci test tomorrow and I’m kinda nervous

sorry if I wasn’t clear, but we did have stage directors and such, but we didn’t have that many people in crew as a whole because the new director is a bitch (literally the only word I could possible use to describe her.) Anyways, the guy Im talking about is basically just the opposite of what I read. His first reaction after the show was to run off the stage and up to the light booth just to hug me, pick me up and spin me around a bunch. LIKE????? I THINK ABOUT THAT DAILY Also he’s helping me a bunch because there’s this one creepy guy who keeps flirting with me and being all touchy, but school won’t do anything about him. But he agreed to walk me to all my classes, even though he doesn’t have most of his classes even near mine and he’s defending me from the creep. But also idk in general.

wtf the duality of tech lives: yours vs mine GOOD FOR YOU IM VERY HAPPY FOR YOU

But technical directors that dont know what they're doing SUCKKKKK

#💜.answers #🌺.anon!!! #back when i was a senior i had a tech teacher and he fucking sucked #hang on let me get on my computer for this #i lied im gonna write here bc i took forever to answer #dude so for this carriage we had to make it was so unstable that he said only 120 pounds was allowed on the carriage #AND THE LEAD HAD TO RIDE IN IT ACROSS THE STAGE. IT WAS SCARY #he put a screw like. perpendicular to where it was actually supposed to go. so the screw was tightened literally nowhere. #the stairs were uneven as all hell and they were SCARY to walk on #for the trees we needed in the forest scene ??? they were supposed to fly out. guess what he did. yep. he drilled them to the floor #so during the ballroom scene THERE WERE TREES RIGHT THERE. JUST. THERE. #once my mentor bought gels for the lights. this guy cut up the gels to make 'stained glass' #THEY WERE FOR OUR LIGHTS.

re your laptop/desktop rb. my cousin (12. i think) didn't understand the concept of opening a web browser to access something like youtube instead of just opening an app as a result of growing up on tablets

oh my god thats so upsetting to me what . touchscreens are a PLAGUE

#ask #live-like-ghibli #my sister is 12 and shes p good at navigating a desktop but its occuring to me #that her dad and oldest* (*TECHNICALLY. -_-) brother are both really autistic about computers #so that might have something to do with it #i have the opposite problem My senior year of high school they made us use ipads instead of computers #and i literally cannot navigate them like i cannot figure it out #absolutely baffles me

[waitmyturtles]

Oh my god. After TharnType, what I need is EARLY OFFGUN, some cute hose scenes, some cleaning of face bruises, awkward flirtation, and a good-bad GMMTV serial drama. I thought I’d regret watching Senior Secret Love: Puppy Honey, but fuck, this is the kind of mind-numbing, nonsensical-but-not-offensive content I NEED RIGHT NOW.

(Theory of Love starts tomorrow!)

#i'm broken after tharntype #i need really hot buttered popcorn #a candle #a bubble bath #like cleansing crystals and shit #i need some sage to burn around my television and computer #tharntype took me OUT #senior secret love puppy honey #offgun

#im trying to figure out the least painful way i can get a degree in something. anything. #just make it easy and not make me want to kms #it looks like this school has a general studies associates degree? #which sounds like you just do the core curriculum and then like. a bunch of electives of whatever you want. #and then you get a degree?? but idk bc of all the bs language #i want to email someone like 'please tell me in normal person english ffs can i just take some classes of whatever and get a degree?' #'is that what this is' #dont tell me about capstones or senior theses. im gonna punch my computer #someone just tell me what to do to make it easy

Introducing

PROLOUGE: THE PACT turn up your brightness for better quality

It is only natural for humanity to yearn for what it cannot have. 

Some dreams really are too good to be real.

Perhaps, there is a good reason that they remain as just that; dreams.

Ghosts of the past seem to constantly find new ways of haunting you…

Alright, now that I’ve finished this intro comic I’ll be going back to taking regular asks for a while just to calm back down :) Feel free to send asks about this comic in particular (ik things might not be that clear sjajsjsj) and I eat up all your theories too sooo yeah. Enjoy!

#local hot demon vs almost senior citizen who’s winning #something weird happened with the last panel so I literally had to take a picture of my computer with my phone 💀💀💀💀 #these two have uh. history #batim #batdr #batim au #crimson rites #crimson rites comic #prolouge #bendy and the ink machine #bendy and the dark revival #bendy au #ink bendy #ink demon #joey drew #my art 🫵

ppl don't portray academia right bc we're all a bit Something to keep wanting to go to school

in honor of tumblr's 'click for frogs'

#redglyphs #academic jerky #a verm tale #this is the first year that breaks every computer he touches #i was going to write 'unhinged' but i don't come off looking good in these convos either #...we're the same type of person but i'm higher in seniority and acting as an enabler #anyways keep in mind we're not a biosci lab. engineering + model&sim lab #any effort we put into containing frogs is extraneous and completely out of our way

Flex and Stretch While Sitting

One theory as to why prolonged sitting is harmful to one’s health is that while sitting, the large muscles become relaxed. As these muscles relax they do not take up very much glucose from the blood. As a result, the risk for Type II diabetes becomes increased along with heart disease and some cancers.

Immediately after sitting down, muscle electrical activity and metabolism slow down, as a result less calories are burned. Only 1 calorie per minute is burned while sitting. That is 1/3 of what the body burns when walking.

After a prolonged period of this lifestyle, LDL cholesterol (bad) increases and weight gain occurs.

Sitting can also cause hip flexor and hamstring muscles (back of thigh) to tighten. This may lead to joints and knees becoming stiff and back pain.

As we sit at the computer our shoulders are usually forward and we are hunched over for extended periods of time.  Our bodies are not designed to sit all day.

After just two weeks of sitting, muscles begin to atrophy and oxygen consumption decreases, making it more difficult to climb stairs and walk the longer distances.  Incorrect computer posture habits combined with long-term sitting may cause medical problems such as:  cumulative trauma disorder (CTD) or repetitive stress injury (RSI).

It has also been shown that in women bone mass can drop by 1% after a year of sitting for 6 hours a day.  Reduce these effects of long term sitting; take breaks; switch things up:

Stand every 45 minutes to 1 hour (set alarm or timer). Standing up for 1 – 2 minutes every hour will reduce the negative effects of sitting all day.

March in place for twenty seconds.

Reach down and try to touch your toes for twenty seconds.

Maintain intervals of moderate activity during the day.

Exercises / stretches that can be performed at your desk:
