There is another way

Pretty sure the other way involves keeping your whore mouth open

So my beta reader for the Big Fics is an astrophysicist, right. Who is currently also writing a hard sci-fi novel about the exploration of Phobos (more power to them, I cannot with the physics required for that, best I can do is soft sci-fi/fantasy and that reminds me I should finish that story).

Anyway I was bitching about how hard it is to come up with feasible planets in Star Wars because sometimes you need a new planet from scratch and sometimes you need to know more about a planet than the 'has jungles, is probably a moon technically' than Wookieepedia will give you, and they're like 'oh yeah I can do something about that'.

So they've written (in Matlab but they swear it will run as a .exe as well and I may be conscripted to embed it as a web tool at some point) a star system generator.

You input what you know about the planet (ecosystem, population, sun colour, does it have liquid water, does it have a moon or moons, is it a moon or moons, temperature averages, atmosphere, you get me) and it will give you the... everything else about the star system, in obedience to real-universe physics. And if you input nothing you get a randomly generated star system.

And I’m like oh I know people who will be into this with a vengeance, and they're not on Tumblr, so this is me seeing who exactly would be keen on, and I cannot stress this enough, a real-physics comprehensive star system generator.

It's still in the debugging phase (last error fixed: every planet wants to have a population of exactly 5000 regardless of other factors, turned out to be a missing equals sign somewhere), but I'm psyched for this and trying to gauge interest for how high a priority 'make this an accessible web tool' needs to be.

I think "The Hangover" movies would work better as a whole movie genre. The beginning is always the same: group of friends wake up hungover as hell, to start figuring out what the hell happened last night. Turns out a lot happened. As a tradition of the genre, there's always an animal in the house that has no logical reason to be there.

But get this: The same premise every time, but in wildly different times and places. Victorian England, the gentlemen went fuckshit with some nice sherry, wrote some questionable letters, worked together to compose an absolutely idiotic thinkpiece essay and sent it to the local newsprint (the publishing of it must be stopped) and for some reason there's an ostrich.

A troupe of travelling performers in the late Kofun period wake up in the stables of an inn, and the main plot point is the little beast sleeping on someone's chest. None of them have ever seen a cat before, but one knows enough to tell that those are imperial pets, and whoever's fucking cat that is will both be capable and willing to kill whoever stole it. So they'd better fucking return it.

A Tepehuan group of youths find themselves way out of the place that they last remember they had been, for some reason someone's balls have been shaved and painted red, and the strange out of place animal sleeping at their makeshift campsite is some random swedish guy. The spaniards don't seem to know how the fuck he ended up there, either, but they clearly do not have a mutual language with each other.

the side effect is bad but ITS WORTH IT

meh it's okay

the side effect makes it unusable/not worth it

I'm instituting a new policy of "if I can't easily read your crusty scanned PDF then I'm sending it back to you, telling you to get your shit together and save your .docx as .pdf, and causing snakes to manifest inside your house"

christaaah

this but also if you are in accounting and you have an Excel file please do not save it as a PDF or take a screenshot of it and then paste it into another Excel file

biglawbear

I take it back whatever you have going on is way worse than what I was dealing with holy shit

URGENT: PLEASE SHARE

A friend (for whom I can vouch personally) had to give up her dog in a divorce, and now her shitty ex is moving to a no-pets location and is going to send her dog to a kill shelter if he isn't rehomed by June 15th. She can't take her dog back for financial reasons and the dirtbag isn't lifting a finger to rehome poor Lentil. So her friends are doing the lifting. They've been in contact with every no-kill shelter and rescue they can find, but so far, no luck finding anyone who can take him in.

This good boy is currently located in NYC but can be transported!

Let's get Lentil to safety! Contact info is in his resume above!

The other day I had a confusing conversation with a physicist who used "mil" to mean "millimeter," instead of the expected "one thousandth of an inch." He was like "can we do a 5 mil assembly tolerance" and I was like well I'll just go die in the swamp ok then!! Fine!!!

bucketofdeltav

...I don’t know where you're based, but I've worked in engineering fields (deliberately vague) on three continents including briefly in the USA, and I've literally never heard 'mil' used (verbally) to mean anything other than 'millimetre'. In writing, 'mil' is not a word denoting a unit, to me - 'mm' is millimetre. As it should be.

'Five mil assembly tolerance', if I heard it said out loud, means the requester is using a commonly understood verbal abbreviation and either this is a big structure, or they really don't care if it fits. Written, it means nothing.

literallymechanical

I often hear "thou" for tolerance and "mil" for thickness, even though those both mean "one thousandth of an inch." As in, I could look for 60 mil sheets, with 5 thou tolerance. This is insane and bad.

andmaybegayer

mil is particularly common in electronics, where a lot of older components are imperial-standardized, e.g. the headers on PCB devboards being 2.54mm spaced. Nowadays most parts are metric standard but we still use some part footprints that are Extremely Imperial.

My favourite gotta be tenth, which means "tenth of a thousandth of an inch"

Guess why the neutral beam injector neutralization cells at ITER (international collaboration, but based in France) are 25.4 meters long

Announcing United Wizards of the Coast - CWA

Hello World, we’d like to introduce ourselves. We the workers of the Magic: The Gathering Arena team have come together to unionize as United Wizards of the Coast - CWA!

unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/news/announcing-united-wizards-coast-cwa

We are game makers, storytellers, artists, and creative technicians, and we are passionate about the work we do.

However, to continue creating games that you, the players, enjoy, the reality is that we must change how we are treated as employees by Hasbro & Wizards of the Coast.

Unionizing, in partnership with Communication Workers of American CWA, is how we ensure better protections, compensation, and a seat at the table for the future of the game we have made successful.

Hit the link for our full statement, other socials, ways to contact UWOTC reps, and more.

Together we will build the games industry we want to see. Support by sharing our posts, celebrating our work, & calling on Hasbro & WOTC to voluntarily recognize our union!

I go to youtube. Cute animal videos are AI now. I go to instagram. There are AI influencers. I go to spotify. It's flooded with AI bands and music. I go to ebay. Every product is AI. I open netflix. Every movie has AI. I watch TV. All commercials are AI. I cancel all my suscriptions. The customer support is AI. I buy a book. It is written by AI. I talk to my friends. They tell me that AI is their new therapist. I take the subway. Some dude is talking to his AI girlfriend next to me. I go to the beach. The sunset is real. I take a pic and upload it. The photo is enhanced with AI. You can't opt out.
