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.

Elon Musk should be in prison along with his co-president. Trump holds the nuclear codes, but in many ways Musk is more powerful -- and dangerous.
For all you cis folks. Feel free to boost.
You kids and your internets. Back in my day we dialed in to the local BBS to e-mail, and it took hours for FIDOnet to transmit them.
And we were grateful. Now get off my lawn.
I'm really loving how Mastodon has become a refuge for all the grizzled seafarers on the ocean of the internet. They pop up in my feed and their bios all say something like
"I've been online for longer than the internet. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. 56k modems on fire in the light of Usenet. I watched IRC forks glitter in the dark near the Gateway 3000. All those moments will be lost in slop, like tears in rain. Time to deshittify."
Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

Keep the Congressional switchboard number handy these days: (202) 224-3121
I used to think I had face blindness but now I realize it's probably just because I donβt look at anyone while talking to them so I have no idea what they actually look like.
I've brought LN2 home and entertained the neighbors' kids with it. Freeze a leaf off a bush and let them shatter it like glass.
It's also handy if you want to get rid of a skin tag. Use band-aids to shield the skin around it, then dip a Q-tip in it and hold it on tag to freeze it. Comes right off, no sweat, no pain.
Oh yeah! I got to play with #LiquidNitrogen at work the other week. It was a strike off my bucket list!
They can't be bothered with facts and data.
Also, a point of order: the EU is not "a country."
"If the band kids and the theater kids work together to prevent me from stealing their lunch money, it's only fair that I demand far more lunch money from them next week!
How dare they deny me -- their best friend! -- of my right to take their lunches? Terrible allies! The worst! I insist they stop bullying me immediately!"
I got into an Uber earlier and the first thing the driver said was "I love you"...
So, 5 stars, right?
Anyway, not quite knowing how to respond, I said, "I love YOU"...
He frowned at me and asked why I would say that!?
And this was when I realised he had been talking to his wife on the phone...
Just be grateful you didn't follow up with "and I want to bear your children."
Elon is not the richest man in the world because he sells the most cars. He doesn't sell nearly enough cars to be that rich.
Elon is the richest man in the world, because a lot of people (like you! π€‘) own his stocks.
The easiest person for you to convince to own less of that stock, is yourself.
