You're all good people, no matter what you think of yourselves.

I read your hurt & sadness, but I never know what to say because so often I can't read it until an eternity has passed after you write it. I feel like showing any acknowledgment without saying anything meaningful will be like poking an open wound.

I'll probably never meet you, but I still care about you. Your pain is valid. Choosing to share it is an act of bravery.

My silence is my failing, not yours.

Be sure to follow my sound cloud!

No, really. It's a cloud, it's making weird tooting sounds, and it's kind of creeping me out. Follow it and find out what it wants from me.

Toshiba T4600C repair [+?] 

I may have underestimated the pre-stretch circumference. I found someone who sells Matsushita FDD belts, giving the circumference as 18 cm, & for about $12 all told. Not bad if it's right, & I'll find out in just a few days.

But if that's right, then the 25 year old belt stretched out another 5 cm in the drive. That's a fantastic amount, but since I pulled them out so easily that they almost fell out on their own, it's also plausible.

TMW you find a typo in a toot that got more boosts & faves than any tweet you ever made on birdsite.

Code of conduct 

For quite a few years, I was a member of a hackerspace in DC.

In 2012 or 2013, we voted to institute a code of conduct. It passed handily, 2/3 to 1/3.

That last third pitched a fit in the meeting, resigned, threw their keys on the table, and walked out. That was maybe 30 people

The rest of us threw a party after the door slammed.

"Time to make the 'puters..."

I just realized that Sauron made an Internet of Rings.

That sahara sand/minsk color combo looks pretty nice, tbh.

When will we have pills ready to turn me into a cute catgirl?
