I think you're on the nose, here. I laughed at the headline, but the more I read the more I see how fucked they are. Airlines. Industrial plants. Fucking governments. This one is big in a way that will likely get used as a case study.

No idea. I still wonder sometimes where the disconnect was, but I also just try to not let things like that get to me anymore. I'm having mixed success

At the time I was 22 and didn't have a firm grasp on the idea I could tell someone being rude to go fuck themselves. It was just a bunch of old folks pining for the glory days of national pride and dysentery, but like, fuck. Snuff out a curious light like that.

I went to a panel presentation on the early colonies around the Revolution once. When they took questions, I asked if there was any special logistical problems Virginia ran into after due to how large the territory was and man, they treated me like a fuckin idiot. I still think about that. It's not, like, important or anything I just don't have a therapist for this sort of shit

They're actually just human portions of a hot dog for titans. You ever see one of those mother fuckers? You don't carry a three foot hotdog as thick as your leg, you wield it.

Are you sure your friend isn't just three beavers in a long coat?

Torx should be the default over Phillips for sure. Phillips is fine for shit like access panels or screw terminals. Slotted is useless for anything but the adjustment on pots and thermostats. Robertson is just a proto-torx. Everything else either exists to make someone money or is a bolt

No one gives Tina Tumble credit for starting the whole upside-down-then-not movement

A bit ago I posted this image and a sharp-eye named Even_Adder (not sure exactly how attributes work on Voyager yet) saw that something was written to it. I dug around a little, but couldn't come up with the answer, so I figured what the hell and sent them an email. The Institute has responded.

Light the beacons! Or whatever we're supposed to do. Wait? I think it's wait. I'll post an update when we get an update.
