love is the point.

LBR. He/they/whatever. Cranky old(ish) punk with a screwdriver and a pen. Maker, breaker, and fixer of things.

Hello world!

Names are hard, "LBR" is fine. I'm kind of a "jack of all trades, master of none" type of guy, and have way too many hobbies that I forget to blog about.

Intersex, plural. Your weird little sea lion friend. My favorite job is being the keeper of @proto-actual's last functioning braincell. <3

N-No, I would never wake up the babies…

This is the first arbitrary barrier in this series I will accept

[kagaintheskywithdiamonds]

Kanto: this path is blocked by a giant sleeping snorlax. you cannot wake up the snorlax except with the use of a very specific tool (which you obtained by fighting your way through a tower full of ghosts). and even after snorlax wakes up you have to either defeat it in battle and/or catch it before you can get through

Galar: could I wake these wooloo? physically, yes, probably wouldn’t be much of a challenge. but emotionally? imagine the toll

It's fantastic how after all this trouble and commotion, the version of the EU replaceable battery mandate that actually passed contains an explicit exemption for devices which retain at least 80% capacity after 1000 charge cycles, so the only real effect for the average person is to extend the planned obsolescence cycle from two years to three.

Both things can be true simultaneously 🩵💙

An implementation of "Difference Engine Number Two", a mechanical computer designed by Charles Babbage in 1847 but never completed.

Starting in 1985, a group of researchers at the London Science Museum began building a working version of the difference engine, completing it eventually in 2002.

A second version being demonstrated here in the photo was built for the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California. These machines are capable of solving complex polynomial equations and contain structures that are still used to this day in modern computers, such as a "Mill", which is essentially the arithmetic logic unit of a CPU, and the "Store", which holds intermediate computational results and is akin to registers of a CPU. The machine even includes a working printing device, to show output.

Excellent overview of the Difference Engine and Babbage can be found at the London Science Museum

Oat milk was discovered much more recently than you may have known. Like many now-familiar technologies, it was found by accident during the Apollo program when NASA learned what a zero-g environment does to goat milk.

everyone talks about how strong and great Aragorn was for refusing the ring when Frodo offered it to him as if this man has not spent his entire life dodging leadership and responsibilities like bullets in the matrix 🙄

very 🥰🥰🥰 when musicians leave bits in songs where they're saying 'is this thing on?' or 'it's still recording y'know.' chairs scraping, retuning guitars, saying 'let's do that bit again', 'was that take any good?'
