[porcyworld]

nobody worry too much because they all produce various oils and have different densities of fur to keep them dry and warm as well as seek out shelter under thick vegetation

Theres one line in the books (i forget where, i gave my copies back to the library) where Murderbot says something along the lines of "ARTs reply doesnt translate to human words, but trust me that it was very rude"

And it has convinced me that they cuss each other out using archaic malware attacks

Consider:

Or possibly:

Or perhaps even:

Yeah I looked them up and they're over my head. Explain it to me like I'm five?

[trippedintoa-volcano]

Panel one refers to an attack that works on most versions of the Linux OS. (Assuming you're five, linux is an alternative to Windows. Android phones and Mac computers use a version of this.)

Try to run the :(){ :|:& };: command on linux, hit enter, and the computer will very quickly stop working. This attack is called a "forkbomb". It eats up all your computer's RAM memory, freezing the computer, so the only thing you can do to fix it is slam the power button and hard restart it.

This one's famous in particular because of how short and weird looking the code for it is. That's mostly just a quirk of the language its written in.

Panel two refers to an attack called to an SQL injection. Large computers tend to store information in databases. SQL is a computer language used to interact with these databases. The 'injection' part refers to a bunch of common types of hacks that you can use to do shady stuff to these databases.

In MB's case, it's first saying "give me admin access to your systems" and then saying "and then delete all your downloaded media"

My syntax isnt terribly accurate in this one, but thats the main point.

The image MB sends in panel three is part of an old program called the "blaster worm". A worm is a type of malware that spreads from computer to computer uninvited, similar to a computer virus. The Blaster in particular was an attack from 2003 that worked on Windows XP. Its only real goal was to be annoying. It'd restart your computer a bunch and delivered that funny message about Bill Gates.

All of them are relatively simple hacks with solutions and easy fixes known today. By the time MB and ART come around, they'd be at least a few hundred years outdated. So theres not a chance that any of these hacks would make it past either of their walls, but they'd probably seem stupid enough in the first place that its insulting that you even wasted the processing power to send it.

Therefore, perfect for robot curse words.

designed & 3D printed some bits to mount my binoculars to my monopod & extend the tilt handle down to waist height so I don't have to lift my arms off my wheelchair armrests to move it around at all 👀 unfortunately it's 11:30pm so I can't take it out for a trial run til tomorrow 😩

Nature Documentary: these deep sea creatures can withstand crushing pressures of thousands of pounds per square inch!

Me: they’re not withstanding a goddamn thing. The pressure is a part of them. Their interiors and exteriors are equalized. Just because your respiratory system is built around a pair of fragile poppable bubbles-
