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.

I was excited to find out they have heat pump water heaters. And they don't cost that much more than gas heaters, and they're much more efficient - and basically free to run if you combine them with solar panels.
So, yeah, I'm excited.
I wish the world could get as excited about heat pumps as they are when the fruit company has announcements about new stuff
May they be alarmed all the way back to the border, and stay there.
UKRAINE ATTACKS!!!
Say a prayer and send healing thoughts to the brave Ukrainian Freedom Fighters who today are moving against the Russian invaders!
More alarming every hour': Russians admit Ukraine gains. Is counteroffensive underway? Live updates

With a series of difficult choices, that means you could be 28.
I keep meaning to do some more of these. This Teddy Bear ballet dancer is a favorite I did last year.

No, but radical temperature changes can. That thing where you turn on the shower and stick your hand under the spray to tell when it's gotten to temperature? I hate that. I hate it a lot. I hate it so much that when I found out they make electronic shower controllers, I made it a priority to get one. I always know exactly what temperature the water is.
Can a loud sudden noise jar my #ActuallyAutistic comrades into an instant meltdown?
If so, you are not alone.
@clouddweller @actuallyautistic @disabilityjustice @Shadedlady @homelessjun @disability thatβs always fun. Another hack that I just discovered I use on social media. It never pays to argue with trolls because they do not care about facts. But all you have to do is demand receipts. Demand proof that what they say is true and watch EVERYONE ELSE pile on the troll. Saves so much sealioning arguments. Most of them canβt provide proof. Or (and this is fun) they post links that disprove their point. And if they manage to post something, Iβm usually able to discredit the source because of the nature of my work.
@PatternChaser @thecatwasnot @Pathfinder @Zumbador @actuallyautistic @axnxcamr The autistic ping is like nothing else. It's like zen. Sending warm energy to my fellow Masto autistics! #ActuallyAutistic
Every time my personal laptop updates, it forgets how to wifi. I have to uninstall/reinstall drivers to get it working again. I've got a bone stock Dell laptop - as vanilla as it gets. If Mickeysoft can't even get that right...
@evan Qualified no, I don't trust a computer to update properly unless I'm staring at it. In my experience, whenever a computer updates and I'm not looking at it, it gets into a strange state I can't recover from because I don't know how it happened.
That said, if other people want their computers to update while they aren't paying attention, it's fine if that's an option for them, as long as I still have the option to watch mine.
Has anyone tried turning the U.S. off and then back on again?
@russellmcormond @somecat @Pathfinder @loops @simid @rabia_elizabeth @actuallyautistic I've learned the hard way: The first thing I do when I start a new position is learn the people directly above me in the hierarchy. I usually get it at least a little wrong, and end up treating a more senior peer like a boss. But it's better than completely ignoring the hierarchy and getting fired for not doing what's expected of me.

Well, I wouldn't call him a tool.
Tools are useful for fixing things.
@theautisticcoach Like a lot of autistic people, my differences in childhood development compared to my peers made me equally a target for ridicule and praise. Being described as "special", even a "genius" by the adults around me did nothing to mitigate the growing sense of dehumanisation I felt during my childhood. And I fell off that pedestal in a big way when I grew up. @actuallyautistic @actuallyautistics @autisticadvocacy
