Raymond "Wash" the akita 🔜 PAWCon

plus the Enterprise D is ridiculously huge so it's not like they needed the space. Voyager had Neelix repurpose the captain's dining room into the Mess Hall, but it was a much smaller ship

all those ensigns hot bunking on the lower decks have got to have a place to hang out, but we never see it because why would the senior staff go there

My strategy of "keep really busy" and "get out of the house every single day" seems to have worked so far at keeping the SAD at bay this year. October 2023 was one of the lowest months I can remember. October 2025 was pretty good, and I feel like I'm on an upward trajectory

A comic strip titled The Amazing World of Tomorrow. A food delivery robot cooler drives down a sidewalk. It crashes into a rental scooter. It backs up. It crashes into the rental scooter again. The scooter wobbles. The scooter falls to the ground as the food delivery robot backs up again. A driverless taxi crashes into both the scooter and the food delivery robot sending them flying.

first session in the buff TF chamber done!

It’s basically Deep Space Nine.

Tonight's film: Good Boy (2025)

And he was!
This was a spooky film, and it executed well on the premise. The dog they found was great.

replaced with an app that simulates an AI band for you to play in so you never have to interact with other humans

Akitober is over, but I'm remaining an akita for the time being.

But also I was able to acquire sabertail dot org, and since that's how a lot of people know me, I'm going to use that for my handle on here

Tonight's film: V/H/S/Halloween

I was creeped out more than scared a lot of the time, but it's pretty much another in the series. I had fun watching it!

I could use a hug tonight. Got metaphorically punched in the gut today at work

Sent you an email!

I hate to make a post like this, I know times are super tight for everyone..

I’m experiencing a financial emergency and desperate for any work I can take on.

I have bad news...

I still never was able to get in touch with anyone who knew where the panther tables ended up 😢

(and this is why it's not either/or. If you imagine fan blades pushing air downward, that will increase the pressure below and decrease it above)

I'd point at conservation of matter and gas laws. If N1 molecules flow in one side of some volume in time t, and N2 leave, then you have (N1-N2) less/more than you did. More stuff in the volume leads to higher pressure assuming constant temperature.

Yep! You do see a Bernoulli effect, but the faster movement is more of a consequence of the pressure differential as the cause of it. It's complicated fluid dynamics so it's not exactly one or the other.

Wings produce lift because they redirect some horizontal airflow downward. Both from the air hitting the bottom of the wing and from air following the curve of the top of the wing via laminar flow. Newton's laws.

my technical german is bad, but bringing up Bernoulli's principle is mostly confusing here because anytime you're pushing down on a fluid (and thus producing lift) the pressure will be higher below than above, regardless of the velocities involved

Most material for pilots explains fluid dynamics poorly or just plain wrongly (the "equal time" BS) if that's what you're dealing with

Wasted a good chunk of my evening trying to track down the source of beeping in my living room. Turned out to be a xiaomi smart speed cube that has a non-rechargeable, non-replaceable battery that finally decided to give out. Fuck me.

At least I found what it was and got rid of it.

Book finished: 1491 by Charles C. Mann
Not a good book.

I'd recommend *American Colonies* by Alan Taylor instead. It's better written, not full of speculation, and Taylor doesn't do shit like compare Native American corvée systems to Stalinist gulags.

the fundamental problem might be that this is an uppers valley when I'm a psychedelic boy

the band L.S. Dunes playing except I have crudely pasted a cartoon of Stimpy from Ren and Stimpy singing over Anthony Green

sometimes I picture this in my head when I hear L.S. Dunes

(listen to "Like Magick" if you have no clue what I'm talking about)

Someone uploaded `libsodium` to the data lake. It exploded, and some splashed on the bare metal servers, and now they're all full of Rust

Screenshot of " Abstract Knots emerge in various fields of mathematics and physics today. We show that knots indeed appear as stable solitons in a realistic extension of the standard model of particle physics that provides the QCD axion and right-handed neutrinos. This result suggests that, during the early Universe, a [highlighted]“knot dominated era”[/highlighted] may have existed, where knots were a dominant component of the Universe, and this scenario can be tested through gravitational wave observations. Furthermore, we propose that the end of this era involves the collapse of the knots via quantum tunneling, leading to the generation of matter-antimatter asymmetry in the Universe. "

gosh the new NileRed video about cryogenics is giving me legitimate nostalgia for grad school and all the liquid xenon we condensed 🥹
