Courtney (she/her/they)

My wife thought we were “in the country” when she moved in.

I can see a hospital from my front door.

If shit hit the fan, we are definitely not “in the country” enough to not have to worry about it immediately.

Heck, if it’s zombies, we will be dealing with them before they take over the world, since they’d be wandering away from hospitals in search of flesh.

If it’s bombs, we live too close to secondary and tertiary targets to be unaffected, especially if there are storms blowing fallout up to us.

I guess there isn’t much point to my comment beyond “make sure you go really far out to where you can’t see city glows on the horizon at night.”

I hope someone can do this to microslop, then it’ll get fixed in 20 minutes. (and break 6 other things in the process)

Had the DOJ just purchased it from the start, we would never even be hearing about it.

Again.

I was planning on buying my wife a laptop so we can play games together. Not anymore.

I was also hoping to upgrade my RAM this year, but that’s definitely not happening now.

Honestly I probably just won’t be upgrading for another 5-7years.

Crazy how greed will drive off all business even after the price spike has come down.

Benches as an example do show up on renderers like Carta (the one on the OSM website) and can be genuinely useful to individuals.

HOE LI FUKK!

As partner to someone with degenerative and chronic disorders (and the most able-bodied person multiple people trust to push their wheelchairs) this will come in SO handy, and I’m definitely going to be micromapping the shit out of every park and downtown area I visit.

RTGs do get put out in space, however they aren’t used for everything. If a single rocket experiences Spontaneous Unplanned Disassembly while carrying an RTG, it’s a disaster that spreads radioactive materials.

The entire point of an RTG is to use the waste heat as power, and if I understand RTG design, the cooling fins are to provide the difference in temperature that thermoelectric modules need to produce power. So there isn’t a ton of heat that it gives off in general.

Look at the international space station. It has massive radiator panels, and all it needs to do is house humans and the equipment to keep them alive. A lot of bulkiness of space suits is dedicated to heat management.

The #1 product of data centers is massive amounts of equipment-killing heat. That heat either gets radiated via massive radiator panels, or the space data center cooks it’s own equipment.

I actually have a small but bright orange hatchet (I spray it to help keep rust off it and also to make it super easy to spot from the other side of my campsite) I keep on my bag, mostly for Camping, but I use the same bag when I’m on my bike.

I’ve started keeping it on, and have seemingly had less people giving me shit when I’m biking through town.

When you have literally nothing else, you use what you have on hand. If there’s a woman around, chances are they might have an emergency pad tucked away somewhere.

Heck back when I was trying to be someone else, I carried a couple pads and tampons in my messenger bag in case a friend needed one. (still do, they’re just in a purse)

I believe that was their point…
