Happy birthday to the 19" equipment rack, which turns 100 next month. From the July, 1923, Bell Systems Technical Journal: "All panels are to be of a uniform length, designed to mount on vertical supports spaced 19>< inches between centers. The height of the different panels will vary, according to the amount of apparatus in each unit, but this vertical dimension is in all cases to be a whole multiple of 1-3/4 inches."(p139 at https://archive.org/details/bstj2-3-112/page/n27/mode/2up )

Sorry but have no time with relatives of the Titan’s crew calling for an investigation into the lack of certification.

The submersible operates in international waters and all were adults. They were thrill seekers and got caught out.

Just an unfortunate waste of money searching for them. The company knew there was a hope but wasn’t up front with authorities

A relationship is like a thorny rose. No, more like a fence. Yes, like an electrified fence. No, more like a barbed wire fence. Which is also electrified. Patrolled by Rottweilers which haven’t eaten in a week. And killer robots.
NO WAIT: KILLER ROBOT ROTTWEILERS!

Anyway, a relationship is like that.

Thankfully the whole shebang, if left alone, should evaporate eventually.

I'm becoming very uncomfortable with my clothes. I hate to wear most of my old clothes, which are predominantly masc. I really want more femme ones, preferably androgynous.

(Yes, my parents used to choose and buy my clothes, but I really need to find a new style, also because of gender... My clothes lasted many years, but it's time to get new ones that I want to choose myself.)

So I need to divide the problem into two problems.

1. Finding a new style (see next toot)
2. Getting new (or, perhaps even better, second-hand) clothes

Advice is appreciated for each of these steps :)

Being #actuallyAutistic doesn't make either of these steps easy. Regarding step 2:

- Visiting stores causes very high anxiety before entering. If I manage to enter, I get severely overstimulated by the many ads, people, and garments. I twice tried to visit the local free-shop, but I just was too anxious 😐
- Trying new clothes is very stressful
- Some sensory issues (see next toot)
- Online shopping is also stressful and complicated since I don't have (and really don't want to have) a credit card; I only pay via IBAN
- Getting used to new clothes or even an entirely new style is also difficult; I usually only make small changes

My 3-year old announced to me that his name is today is "Zod." I kid you not. Now I must resist the he compulsion to kneel before him.

“Full de-occupation of the #Zaporizhzhia NPP is a must.

Anyone who turns a blind eye to russia’s occupation of such a facility, to russia’s mining of the territory and facilities of the nuclear power plant, is actually contributing not only to this russian evil, but also to terror in general,”

I love it when people get serious and philosophical in replies to my jokes. Fucking 👏 LOVE 👏 IT! *fart*

I grew up and had my sexual awakening in the 80s while watching, like, Magnum PI and Soloflex ads, and certain men's hairstyles that look incredibly dated and cheesy and are used as signifiers for a previous time in current-day period pieces are nevertheless basically hard-wired to my dick.

Look who it is everybody!

Cornell West enlisted Jill Stein to help with his presidential bid

The same Jill Stein:
Backed by Russian money
Who had an army of Russians post on her behalf in the 2016 election, aiding Trump’s win
Who raised more for her recount then for her campaign

…And the same Jill Stein seated with Vladimir Putin, Michael Flynn, Dmitry Peskov, and special guest stars (below)!

Russia thanks you for your patronage, Comrade West!

Whenever I am feeling down, I just remember that trillions of years in the future, long after Earth is destroyed, the universe will drift apart until galaxy and star formation ceases, and then everything will be fine.
