Unless you were a tech at NASA back in the day, when one time some hydrogen a) escaped in a particular building, and b) caught on fire. This was extremely difficult because hydrogen does NOT burn on the visible spectrum humans evolved to see (and flee). Rather, it technically does, but it’s so pale that in practice, no one could see it. Additionally, pure hydrogen burns without smoke and with so little ambient heat that you can’t really sense it till you walk into it. So, per the lore, for a few days all the techs in that building just walked around brandishing brooms in front of them like lances. If your broom lit on fire, congrats! You have located more burning hydrogen! Do not proceed!

Hi I have a question about Pacific Rim. Given that the sparring is just A way to test for drift compatibility and any activity that requires people to collaborate and anticipate each others moves works, including stuff like multi player video games

Can you test for drift compatibility via improv comedy

They are piloting a Jaeger together in my imagination

[penny-anna]

#hate this. im in the shatterdome trying to coordinate my jaegers in the field fighting for the fate of humanity #and these two chuckleheads over here won’t stop doing bits on the open channel #they keep defeating kaiju with slapstick routines and its INFURIATING

yeah the worst part is it's actually working for them

[kyraneko]

And their Jaeger is called Nihilistic Singularity (because it's a point that doesn't matter.)

[twilight-good-yall-dumb]

ugh in the mood to watch goncharov rn. anyone got any recs for where i could pirate it? it's not streaming atm 😔

[gpedia]

have you tried poob

[thevastnessof]

it’s actually quite easy to take over a small local government group if you really want to, bc if you volunteer consistently people will just put you in charge of whatever. I’m now one of like three people at a nature preserve making official decisions about trails, putting in a prairie, and designing a series of illustrations for a storybook trail etc., and it’s just because last summer I started coming over once a week to help the naturalist out for a couple hours. Mine now. you too can steal an organization and shape it to your will 🫵

I think my favourite part of the hadestown proshoot is when Eurydice says, "Is he always like this?" and Hermes, who has seen this story a thousand thousand times, who has tried again and again to warn Orpheus not to come on too strong, says with Extreme Exhaustion in his voice, "Yes."

Nearly blocked someone for a vaguely annoying reply they made in 2017 then remembered 2017 was 9 years ago. They will live. We can change *opens their blog* nevermind they got worse. Guards

[pillowspace]

This was written out in real time btw. I typed out the first half, paused, saved it to my drafts, went back to open their blog, then came back to type the rest

[help-me-yes]

My social security appointment is on Wednesday and I'm so nervous. Excited but nervous. I hope it goes well and there's no problems and I walk out with the social security letter I need to get everything updated 🤞🏼

[henpeckedho]

Update!

My name has been updated with the government officially.

I can now start changing it everywhere!
