:thaenkin: has anyone started selling facemasks with little screens on yet?

could display like smiley mouth, angry mouth, socialist teeth, etc.

john wick, firearms 

the scene in the john wick films that gets picked apart most is the one in the subway where wick and what's his face plink at each other with suppressed pistols and nobody bats an eye

"it's so unrealistic! suppressors don't work that way!" they say

people do though

in a world with super well trained assassins taking each other out here there and everywhere shit like that must happen all the time

Another Non-Binary Computer for Nonbinary Day: On my trip to England's National Museum of Computing I got to see (and operate!) the Harwell Dekatron computer (AKA the WITCH), which has as it's basic unit of memory a "Dekatron" vacuum tube with 10 different states. The computer "counts" by the dekatrons all spinning in unison in a fascinating display. 💻 :heart_nb:
