a clown who never spoke a word

Those are called "mimes", Imic, and they are to be reviled.

I know for a fact she wasn't a Mime, everyone knows that Mimes carry baguettes around everywhere, you silly sausage! Smh my head.

The mime population has been decreasing at a steady rate ever since Paris residents have taken to setting up invisible box traps all around the city. The heart of France is really their only viable breeding ground, since young Mimes need the high concentration of pretentiousness in the air in order to develop to sexual maturity, so with their only habitat forcing them out, we may see the last mime in our lifetime.


In other news, I finally mahjong'd enough to get the Invincible Ichihime title in Mahjong Soul. It was a really satisfying prize to work towards, as most MS events are kinda lackluster. I had to play dozens and dozens of games over the course of the last few weeks, way more than I'm used to, so my smurf account is ranking up!

Anyone else want to get onto a space pod and go live in a hell-asteroid inhabited by aliens and not have to deal with politics? No? Just me?

... I mean... If you've got a spare seat...

Sure, a new ecosystem to study seems amazing, plus we can hopefully not make the same mistakes that we made on this planet

It's all fun and science until your oxygen runs out.

then let’s find a planet with oxygen on it, or bring something with us that can break carbon dioxide into oxygen, probably via chemosynthesis, we’d need to bring carbon fixing bacteria/archaea that can fix carbon, probably Cyanobacteria or plants too, smaller organisms are likely easier to sustain than larger ones

[dragdeler]

Importing oxygen is unlikely afaik...I heard once that if you removed all rhe oxygen in earths atmosphere, the rocks and stuff will start releasing it in the air. Likewise I'd assume that you have to saturate the whole minerals with oxygen before it goed into the atmosphere on a foreign planet. Also some planets lack gravity, possibly also magnetism to hold the atmosphere.

Here's a neat two-for-one we can do, theoretically.

[Rockeater]

I have just finished doing moon and stars in a drawing I do, and I actually feel good about how it's look and my skills, It will definitely change when I draw more of the foreground, but for now ir's look great, I might even just try to draw space at some point.

[Mephisto]

Amongst the dumb things I've done recently, we have this confluence of jank. Upgrading a Mac Pro 4,1 to Catalina, it loses its wifi drivers. Thus the donor MacBook Pro 8,1 that only exists to share its internet connection. All on the Mac Pro/xserve side table. And I couldn't be happier.

I mean I'd be happier if I could just use the 13" MBP but it needs a keyboard replacement to be functional. In any case, I'll have Apple Configurator 2 soon and can muck with some of the locked salvage devices I've purchased.

[None]

mmm, spaghetti hardware

[LordBaal]

With some software salsa?

[None]

oh shit i just noticed that the desk is actually made of old g6 powermacs or whatever they're called

now that's a tower chassis

damn, makes me miss working in the surplus room where we'd DBAN buggers like that and make desks out of old macs like that

[Mephisto]

The functional cheesegrater (right leg of the desk) is a 4,1 Mac Pro with 5,1 firmware. I don't know what the other is. A bit older, I think. It's got each CPU and associated RAM on a separate board.

[LordBaal]

I made this:

For this little girl:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

My mother in law gave our kid a turtle because he still miss Laika (we all do), we think is a girl because her bottom part is completely flat. It was really hard to do, I'm not really good at crafting art things and the orange is actually crayon, for the brick design I cheated and printed it.

It might need some extra glue.

[delphonso]

Did you name the turtle Bowser?

[LordBaal]

Nope, pete named her "Tortuguina", which is a made up diminutive of Tortuga (turtle). I guess it could be interpreted as little turtle.
