whaling, Japan... GACK! 

From @Alyx found out about the "resumption of whaling" by Japan...

They hope to renew, "sustainable whaling"...

theguardian.com/world/2019/jul

Um... The current "harvest" rate is not sustainable, and officially it's basically zero. Anyway... It's not showing up (as of last look) on this instance. Probably, "how federation works".

so, I got a new toy in the mail! a visible light spectrometer

el cheapo instrument. single beam, takes those square cuvettes. I ought to order up a box of the cheap plastic ones. it did come with some glass ones

slightly hilarious Discord dustup 

phew, maybe you shouldn't pretend like you can administer a community if you can't even explain decisions properly. that was almost comical

oh well, probably good to be freer of Discord anyway, honestly. there's no future in Discord

@LogicalDash@cybre.space we really put all our eggs in the http basket? damn

so, serious question

(so I'm not expecting answers haha)

what others protocols are out there, that people are using to distribute structured information

like, there's gopher

but there must be other things too, huh?

it can't ALL be The Web[tm]

Hey be my friend in Pokemon Go for the little summer quest

vent, syscourse I guess 

@Alyx
Yeah, lots of us are healthier and happier as systems!
Honestly, if I were to integrate, the personality I'd want to be the main one everyone integrates into is Undyne, and... I don't think, somehow, that that would satisfy this person, or help me in "normal" society at all.
almost like being a system has distinct fucking benefits for some people, wow.

whew, well, that got a bit of adrenaline going I suppose

vent, syscourse I guess 

ugh this dude I'm friends with went on a posting spree on tumblr about how systems who aren't working towards integration have been duped by """anti-recovery"""" tumblr and are refusing to become healthy and.
fuck that I like being a system. I like my alters and I don't owe you a "recovery" especially when I'm not being hurt. neuroDIVERSITY means accepting people who aren't and don't want to be neuronormative

haha it wouldn't be a Linux laptop if it didn't crash the moment you opened the lid

fridge pickles 

I put too much salt in this batch

I wonder what would happen if you used monosodium glutamate instead of salt in a pickle brine, would that taste great or weird

Kara wants me to figure out how to make some sort of consumable glowy thing that's not a flame and not a commercial chemical glow stick and I am at a loss

potato battery driving an LED maybe, haha

(thinking of a titration device where the reagent is delivered by electroösmotic pumping through a narrow glass tip)

Show thread

Bill Nye antisemitism, holocaust - 

@Alyx oh, great. Wonderful. Maybe later I'll take a look to see if I can find it, if I have the spoons and remember to. Still, another point for "maybe don't treat people who have the good luck to have gotten famous as gods of knowledge and justice"
