speculation about if humans laid eggs
@frameacloud @kistaro Stephen Jay Gould wrote a good essay about the kiwi's egg--basically it's an artifact of the kiwi having descended from much larger birds
in adapting to a niche where a smaller body was better, the egg remained the same size as it had been in the larger ancestors, because it wasn't a big enough _disadvantage_ to get selected out
it's, like...conservation of change, or something, haha. if stuff doesn't actually _hurt_ it doesn't change
like, I've vaguely imagined a scheme where you could make completely disposable one-use batteries exploiting the oxidation of a more or less harmless metal, like magnesium or aluminum
but it would be really cool to make a phone where you could just feed it bits of scrap aluminum and empty out the Al2O3 periodically
wish there were portable electronics devices, like phones or whatever, that you could *feed*. like, with a chemical fuel

Sick Cat
We are really worrieds for our cat Stormy. He has never been this sick before. He is literally laying in bed with the heater blasting on him and has only gotten out of bed twice this morning. It is now 3:00PM. He usually loves being outside. Poor Stormy.

Today I learned that MIT students built a Gutenberg-work-alike printing press, and they print books with it.
@maple same, sometimes
I am the wrong sort of nerd
@maple it looks spectacularly bad yeah
your average trans game programmer (with enough headpats and cup noodles) could make a more enjoyable cyberpunk game in a week

Yelling about cyberpunk 2077
CDPR: Ya, you see, of course megacorps would cater to trans people with advertising it's 2077 gender is accepted in this world so corps want their money
Also CDPR: No, of course you can't PLAY as a trans person trying to take down the megacorps that control everything, that's just not realistic
