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.

@BigAngBlack threw out a prompt for great fathers. I don't know if my father was "great," not sure what that would mean but he was a good father. He did his best during a time when all Black men were catching hell daily but particularly Black men who had his darker complexion. He got up every day, went to work and helped my mom build a strong family.
Not weirdly. NASA wants new things - things that haven't been done before. I'm working a program now that had a development phase, a prototype phase, and now we're in the flight phase. If they'd come to us with a fixed-cost proposal for all that, we'd have replied with a no-bid. There's no way to bid it. Instead they gave us an NTE (not to exceed), which gives us latitude to experiment and figure it out.
Weirdly, a NASA official says fixed-price contracts do the agency βno goodβ
"What really makes me worried is that I think it shows where the heart of the agency is."
@ScottSoCal Interesting results in this poll β a very clear winner but lots of love for each of the shows.
Discovery is a very close second, but Anson's grin and pompadour have to take first place.
"Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" debuted today on Paramount+ "and its glorious return is most welcome," says NPR's Eric Deggans. Here's his full review (some spoilers): https://www.npr.org/2023/06/15/1182335025/star-trek-strange-new-worlds-season-2-review
Which of the new generation of "Star Trek" shows do you think is the best? [disclaimer: Our poll settings only allow for four answers β if you love something else, tell us in the comments!]

She's obviously judging his shoes. They must not match his belt.

Good to know that my parents kicking me out to live on the street meant that *I* had failed at life. That takes a load off my mind.

In the dead of night, WI Republican lawmakers just defunded the Child Care Counts program. Sen Kelda Roys said the decision will make even more of Wisconsin into a childcare desert. The program has funded more than 22K child care jobs & helped 113K children since 2020. It'll be devastating for needy families & the stateβs economy: #GOPHatesChildren #GOPSabotage https://apnews.com/article/wisconsin-child-care-subsidy-budget-9218b9a132e89749546a27d3120c2c8d

There seems to be a lot of misconceptions about how to set up Mastodon.
1. You do not have to sacrifice a duck. Any waterfowl will do.
β¨2. The bit about dancing around naked in a forest glade? While dancing is fun, you may just walk.β¨
3. When the demon appears, you neednβt chant in Latin. It is fluent in all languages.
The rest of the guide is correct.
N.B. If while searching for the glade you come to a boiling river of blood, you have gone too far.

I'm getting a Weird Science vibe...
I'm going to have a salad for lunch. If I don't tell The Internet this I don't get points.

The sign is a lie. I asked, and they told me I had to leave.
