Just moved, so it's time for an #Introduction!
You can call me Vergilius. I'm 24yo, transmasc non binary and disabled.
You can read my chronic ill-dex in my bio, the list is way too long for an intro. π
I'm autistic and my special interests include dinosaurs, wolves, sharks, Pokemon, Naruto, HxH, DBZ, Death Note, karate, video games and programming.
I'm slowly developing #DisabledRevolution, an accessible RPG game about disabilities and accessibility, made specifically for disabled folks!
The great thing about money being speech is that bribing public officials is just like giving them your opinion.
Also I bet bribing a judge is just an oddly-submitted amicus brief, right?

@ElDiabloRoboc I tend to draw the line in two places: First, is this horrible person even ALIVE anymore? If not, the harm you do by consuming their art is minimal. Second, how much actual power do they have towards implementing their horrible ideas through laws? People with both great wealth and connections can wield outsize influence and you should consider what contributing to them means.
To be sure, I want Meta to die.
I don't like it when people lose jobs, not one bit.
But I also think Meta is one of the most toxic and evil corporations to exist: one that has enabled genocides.
So I hope Meta keeps making this mistake, and Facebook, Instagram, etc. keep dying a slow death.
Trek couldn't be Trek without scientists on board. I'm not talking about Mr. Spock but the brilliant minds that brought real science to the Science Lab.

But doctors don't visit dead people, so "an apple a day keeps the doctor away" is demonstrably true.
The American Bar Association voted to support implementing a binding code of ethics for Supreme Court justices. #SCOTUS

A 10KW system is bigger than most people get, but I'm installing in stages, and plan to switch to 2 EV small SUVs. I wanted something that could get us essentially grid independent, 24 hours a day.

US dollars. I'll get a $9k tax credit, so the actual end cost to me will be $21k.

We just installed a 10KW system, and it generates power even when it rains, or is cloudy. $30K, installed, and our power bill has been 25% to 30% of what it normally is, even with holiday lights and lots more cloudy/rainy days than we're used to. The other day we had sun all day and it kicked out 40KWh.
@patrickworld @DrOinFLA @kevinrns I'm in western Washington state. Where it always rains π
So, more of a Rubik's Bouillon Cube.

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.
