"They say that a dog is a man's best friend

They also say that a diamond is a woman's best friend

But my friend is non-binary

So I got them a pet rock"

service update: fidget cube is good for when programming too.

The orchid mantis is a big weird lanky bug, which is relatable, but she also rocks high-femme fashion while being a terrifying predator with swords for arms, which is aspirational.

From the Solarpunk Aesthetic tumblr:

Biotechnologist Marin Sawa and her University of London research group have created a proof-of-concept for printing solar cells onto paper using carbon nanotubes and cyanobacteria.

This technology is "[...] capable of generating a sustained electrical current both in the dark (as a ‘solar bio-battery’) and in response to light (as a ‘bio-solar-panel’) with potential applications in low-power devices."

"HEAT INDEX VALUES...As high as 98 to 102 on Saturday, and as high as 103 to 107 Sunday and Monday. "

Stars are basically just giant explosions that forgot to stop exploding.

"Hold on," she said. She stepped off the path to pick up a discarded water bottle.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
"There's a recycling bin a bit further up."
"Oh. Anyway, we're so powerless-"
"Let's do what we can."

Thanks to UKClimbing.com I had a database of over 427k rock climbing routes to feed to a neural network. It did pretty well. http://aiweirdness.com/post/175339699997/blue-boulders-problem-1-more-rock-climbing-routes

Until a few years ago, I played lots of MMOs but always played them as solo games. (I think ... a lot of you can relate?)

It's pretty easy. You toggle on every option to block contact... no /tells, no trade requests, no dueling. Turn off any titles or guild/clan labels over your head. Turn off world/region chats... or the chat window entirely.

Some games have guilds just for soloers... you join, and no one speaks to you, ever.

Flip it all back on if you get sad, and it's a new game.
