You know, on the one hand, I'm glad to have my bipolar disorder under control. On the other, it means I get to be depressed about something I can't get help with: the fact I'm trapped in a rapidly collapsing country that couldn't care less about or for my existence. Woo...

Also, I enjoy gender "Fellow". That's pretty neat, I guess.

HOLY SHIT RFC 6350 IS BEAUTIFUL. RFC 6350 defines the vCard format, and check out these examples for GENDER! "it's complicated" with no marker. I love it.

In case you're curious how Texas' grid is holding up this time around, it seems to be doing much better. ERCOT's reporting plenty of extra overhead and I haven't been hit with any rolling blackouts, so I don't doubt it. Power went out for a little bit, presumably a downed line or something, but it came back on within, like, 30 minutes. So, yeah. Doing better than it was this time last year.

As a fun fact, that quilt in the background was handmade by my grandmother. It's also very cozy

(I mean, yeah, there's a plethora of reasons they can't be trusted with power, but we're just talking about nuking the moon right now. Stay on topic.)

I leave you with this question: why the fuck does anyone think these two countries, countries that wanted to nuke the fucking moon, mind you, deserved any sort of power. Clearly, they couldn't be trusted. Sheesh.

It does get a bit better, though, as the Soviets had no plans for if their nuke missed. They just wanted to nuke the moon but if they messed up, that bomb would end up coming back to earth.

So, uh, here's a fun fact for you: both the USA and USSR had plans to, in effect, nuke the moon. Ostensibly, at least in the USA's case, it was for science, but for both, it was also to send a message, presumably about their ability to nuke things that didn't deserve it. Ultimately, neither would actually carry out their plans, because, let's face it, who the fuck nukes the moon?! Why?!

Here, have a cute selfie of me

Damn. The thumbnail is cut off. Here's the full image (cw: ec)

Don't think too hard on this. Just go with it.
