If you were going to do this, wouldn’t it make more sense to have the solar panels draping down like chain mail?

In looking up historical examples of camel barding, I actually did not find much, but this is similar towhat I had envisioned.

Considering the dearth of actual examples, though, perhaps such raiment was not actually used.

I did not use your guide as I do not need it, but if I did need it, it would be exactly the kind of thing I would be looking for.

Oh, that’s a relief. Forgive my ignorance.

It’s very annoying that the anti-vax term “jab” has entered the common parlance.

I always hated his stupid comics that are just one layer away from “we sure do live in a society” or “if I rephrase this banal observation about a mundane phenomenon then perhaps it will make it funny or interesting” (it doesn’t)…

… but with this new knowledge, now my dislike can be justified!

Man I’m still playing MUDs.

Very old indeed but I’ve been on Carrion Fields a lot lately, revisiting old haubts, and it’s still as fun as I recall. Uniquely for a MUD they even released on Steam with a client package and everything.

In the past I took characters very seriously and any time I died (let alone faced down the inevitable permadeath), it was emotionally crippling. This time around I’m mature enough to see the silly and just have fun with it.

Reject modernity.

Embrace tradition.

That title alone is just so cool. It sounds like the name of a sci-fi novel or something and then you realize it’s real life.

What is “British baby shower announcements”?

As well as the irony of somebody whose username is that of a fairy queen asking about the parentage of another child…

Really? I have to be the first to make this joke? I thought somebody else would have done it by now. And in a way more clever than this, I might add.

Some people have preferences based on morality and values rather than a pittance of insultingly low rewards.

Seriously. Canva is horrid.

I remember playing Lobotomy Corporation years ago; is there a whole continuity around it now?

No.

I’ll be joining y’all around the end of the year when I build a new desktop.

Tired laptop is still on W10 and I haven’t touched Linux before. I have lots of data on it though and it’s still part of my regular workflow, so I want to just play it safe for now rather than switch OS.

… but if I can get Mint up and running and be comfortable with it on a new desktop I’ll do the same on the lappy.

People Playground.

This may come as a shock to anons who filter their entire existence through video games but literature does not need to operate according to rules of game balance.

I feel like BD is kind of an unsung modern classic. It’s very dear to my heart.
