How else am I to know that the 2 minutes 30 seconds are up, and my meal-for-one is now merely one stirring and a further minute of idle standing from being consumable without that awkward icy-cold bit..?

So I just have to hook up a microwave emitter to my brain, and then I can mind control people? Handy.

Down at the bottom of the ocean. Beneath tons of brine which would crush you down. Not into broken and splintered flesh, but into thin soup. Into just more of the sea water. Where things live that aren't so different from you, but you will never live to touch them and they will never live to touch you.

Not really. You can send intelligible messages, but mind control is not possible.
Using microwaves to communicate in this manner is potentially dangerous for the receiver if you don't carefully control the microwave energy and exposure time, and it is an invasion of privacy on a fundamental level. Do not do it.

Believe nothing you hear. Or everything. Have fun. Love when?

I frequently use PMs to contact people if I think they would miss a post in the deluge.

Well, mind control is possible, but right now it would mean hardwiring an electrode to most of your brains neurons. But that wouldn't be mind control insomuch as it would be having a meat-puppet.

Blue Origin launch in ~8 minutes, if anyone want to watch.

I missed it, but I hope the flying dong made it back in two pieces.

They're nearly as bad as badgers. Build a couple of anti-buzzard SAM sites marksdwarf towers and your fortress will look like Baghdad in 2003 from all the aerial bolt spam. You waste a lot of ammo and everything is covered in unslightly exploded buzzard bits and broken bolts.

Mind control is easy. You just point a gun at someone and tell them to do something.

I prefer the emperor's original plans of making everyone into superhuman jerks that scream BRUVA and ocasionaly hide in METAL BAWKSES

Except for the no sex part, that part sucks.

EDIT: Speaking of, looking at TBF's 'words to live by' thing, one similar one I remember: If you ever feel powerless, remember that a single one of your pubic hairs is enough to shut down a restaurant.
Yet I find that if you use your whole hair todger, you are the one thrown out and charged for your trouble.  Must be a homeopathic effect...

Anyway, apparently it's now officially Summer, as of an hour ago, and the days are now getting shorter.  Unless, where younare, it has turned to winter and the days now lengthen.  Unless that's nonsense, and your seasons more tend towards Monsoon and Dry.  Or unless you are sufficiently circumpolar and the concept of day-length is still some way off being a moot point for some while yet. And you non-terrestrials can work out your own relationships with the ecliptic...
