serpent is a classic thing for a deity to be

no...but it kind of looks like a distant cousin of the top bit of a Fab, or a Nobbly Bobbly ice lolly. as im typing this im internally going like am i fucking with you with these names, were these really real.

incidentally when I worked in food service I would often describe getting swamped in the lunch/dinner rush as being "in the Fulda Gap over here". which I suppose could well have become one of those kinds of terms if the mid-late twentieth century turned out just a little different.

It's funny how a bunch of everyday sayings are like, derived from the technologies of the World Wars. "Going ballistic", "the balloon has gone up", "blockbuster". Kind of feels like something you'd make up for a science fiction setting were it not, like, the real world.

but now in my twenties I have actually gotten to play them and they have been everything teenage me hoped for. hooray for collaborative storytelling :D

man, ttrpgs are so great. when I was a kid I spent hours poring over GURPS & DND sourcebooks (Transhuman Space, Alpha Centauri, Expedition to the Barrier Peaks) but never... actually got to really play any because coastal essex is kind of a cultural wasteland.

it means "I love interstellar hydrogen" in dinosaur

maybe "windmill drive" would be a good choice to use instead - kind of conveys an immediate idea of how it works vs the ambiguous "windrider".

is it silly that I use the term "magnetic windrider" to refer to Q-drives in my setting... I always worry that 'Q-drive' is insufficiently descriptive and will be interpreted as a magic reactionless engine. RAIR is even less descriptive of a name I suppose but also feels less superscience-y.

For #toughtober Day 8 (Plasma) I made an animation illustrating how a Q-drive works. Annotated diagram to come later. Once again entirely nondestructive #scifi #space #art thanks to #blender3d #geometrynodes

Achim Leistner at the Australian Centre for Precision Optics (ACPO) holds a 1 kg, single-crystal silicon sphere for the Avogadro project. Among the roundest man-made objects in the world, the sphere scaled to the size of Earth would have a high point of only 2.4 metres above "sea level".

Kyle wolf @CRXSSF4DE . someone on the Motorola forums was having the same problem with the camera I've been having, but I just have to share the image they posted to demonstrate the issue. it's the funniest shit I've ever seen in my life dude The photo is of an elderly woman in gray clothes that has been so bizarrely processed that it looks both totally over and desaturated

This is the aesthetic of the future
