Happy 64th birthday to the man of all time Elder Patrick Kearon!!!

Fun fact about Elder Kearon: he is the first apostle since 1898 to have a middle name (Kearon has 2!) but choose not to use it. The reasoning? “It’s just Brits don’t do that”.

Guys, I'm screaming right now. The new minstrel I just hired (the one my therapist recommended I get to help my stress) just killed a rival gang leader. Just popped him in the head with a 22 mid monologue. Minstrel boy gave me the credit of course, but my lieutenants have started calling him boss. Now everyone in the organization knows about it and I'm worried he's going to try to take over. I'm already stressed over the dramatic prophecy about the chosen one who will overthrow me. I don't need more problems in my life. At least I don't need to worry about the other gang anymore.

So I thought that letting him marry my daughter would keep him from turning him against me, but now everyone thinks he's going to inherit the organization, even though I already have an heir. And my son doesn't even have the decency to be upset about this. In fact I think my son loves that darned minstrel boy more than my daughter (his wife) does. Anyways I'm going to send him on an impossible mission and hope that kills him.

really hilarious and unsexy when hetero romantasy authors refer to love interests as males and females. you sound like david attenborough narrating a special documentary on two turtles humping in the mud

I learned a new concept

Graceful degradation is the ability of a computer, machine, electronic system or network to maintain limited functionality even when a large portion of it has been destroyed or rendered inoperative. The purpose of graceful degradation is to prevent catastrophic failure. (Tech Target, first result on the search engine)

Literal opposite of planned obsolescence. I love you graceful degradation.

Oh neat the first time I heard of the concept the guy described it to me as "catastrophic functionality".

He was talking about it in the context of designing robots that would go in and stop nuclear reactor meltdowns, something that would 100% destroy the robot, but they would be designed to keep functioning and fighting the meltdown for as long as possible. He had some designs where over 80% of the robot has died and it was functionally dragging its corpse around by its one working arm because one more minute of functionality might save thousands.

I've been having a few bad years mental health wise, and thinking about those robots a lot .

This is also why NASA missions usually keep going so long after schedule. They are *masters* of graceful degradation, able to keep machines limping along on minimal power and after sustaining heavy damage

Another reason to be afraid of starfish: they have a special tissue called catch collagen, which can solidify at will. They use it to grab hold of clams and yank them apart persistently with no effort frozen in place while the clam has to squeeze together with all its force. Eventually the clam is exhausted and releases, and the starfish oozes its gut inside to eat it :) Also, starfish are persistence hunters and they can see you.

so i was NOT prepared or interested in learning starfish are persistence hunters

As long as they stay small enough to yeet back to sea, it’s fine.

Edited to add: Since a lot of people are reblogging this original post, I'm adding the updated version I did that incorporates the intersex circle...

I know intersex people are still getting excluded in a lot of LGBTQIA+ spaces (let alone wider society) and I think it's crucial to show this group is included in the statement that we all deserve equal rights.
