My best friend asked whether I wanted to join her on a one week trip to a Greek island and for the first time I straightforwardly expressed that I canβt because I intend to not fly for short trips anymore because of the #climatecrisis.
I was anxious to express that, but afterwards I felt lighter. Like a weight lifted off my shoulders. And my friend understands. She will fly anyway, but I am honestly glad that I wonβt.

Abstinence? That's when you skip the bacon at breakfast, right?
Yeah, I don't do that.
Pure tin coating on wire or electrical components, over time, grow whiskers that lead to shorting and failure of the assembly.

I'll start:
My job is voiceovers and I can tell you with absolute confidence that reading your writing out loud is like a magic trick for better proofreading.
The mouth stumbles on mistakes the eyes glide over.
And Stormy probably would have been a better president.
I am occasionally reminded that I now own more than a non-trivial number of stained glass windows.

So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
