Gnarly spaceships!

The “Furor” (KONSTANT) class DDGN demonstrates the Soviet VDF’s changing priorities now in 1985. A strong fleet escort yet having the endurance for deep independent patrols it seems likely to replace the aging “Parser” (STRAZH) class of frigates.

"only 90s kids remember-" wrong, if you're poor and/or rural enough, old tech and fashion doesn't just disappear when it stops being trendy. We had dial-up until 2012

Ken Olsen in front of the Maynard, Massachusetts headquarters of Digital Equipment Corporation. Simply known in DEC circles as "The Mill", this 19th century complex that once made blankets for the civil war was a million-square-foot hive of engineers who produced some of the most consequential computer systems in history.

I had the good fortune to work here for five years, exploring it's labyrinthian spaces that included tunnels below water level and catwalks that connected buildings together, almost never at the same floor. In the summer the rooftop AC units would overflow and we would get plastic sheets to cover our monitors from the rain they produced.

Where I learned to be an engineer. It was truly a beloved space.

not using AI genuinely feels like the rest of the world is experiencing some kind of mass amnesia. if someone says they never use it, the immediate response is that can't be true because "everyone" uses it to write their emails or answer their questions. saw a comment suggesting that not using chatgpt to write an essay is "like the 90s". girl I graduated in 2021 and we weren't doing that! how is it that everyone has suddenly forgotten that they were entirely capable of doing these things all by themselves for their entire lives up until the past few years!! am I going crazy!!!
