You’re not going to enjoy that competition though…

Ohhhh, you’re the mysterium zxqwasball champion?

I stand by my classification of this place as a Nazi bar.

Walk into a bar

“Wow, this is a total nazi bar, everyone in here is associating with nazis!”

Sits down, orders beer, starts talking to people

I don’t have a food-only budget, but our “supermarket + food” spending for 2 humans and 2 cats last year was ~280 euros per month. That includes takeout/delivery but not restaurants, cleaning materials, catfood (but not the vet), alcohol, snacks.

You know, in terms of…

Bailey and Littmans findings make the trans community angry because the research supports that for some trans females, (not all but some) they transition due to a sexual kink. That they can only be sexually excited by being a woman.

I’m a cis woman and being a woman is very much a requirement for my sexual excitement.

Plus there are lots of foster/adoptable kids who need a loving home.

But… that’s becoming a parent…

Of course it is?!

Also with a half life of 138 days it’s hardly “one of the most radioactive substances on Earth”.

A shorter half life generally means it puts out more radiation per hour.

So, for someone who isn’t American… What?

I feel a great AWWOOOOOWOOOOwooooWWWWOOOO in the near future.

And this is exactly why I have SO much closeted caulk, just standing there, getting hard without ever getting released.

I wanted to design bridges and/or so something with history. So I went to school, took one year of civil engineering and realized that the last on earth I wanted to do was design bridges.

Switched to chemistry, got a PhD, realized the second-to-last thing I wanted to do was academia, followed closely by lab work.

Unfortunately I finished right in the middle of the housing crash, so I did QA for a factory for a bit (which combined a little policy stuff with a lot of labwork). Then went back to civil engineering, aiming for something chemistry ike asphalt or concrete.

That didn’t really work out, but I did end up being vastly overqualified for my job there. Rolled into safety and compliance by virtue of being the least unqualified person there. They paid for another college level degree during office hours, and then fired me after restructuring (thanks for the free degree guys!) so now I’m self-employed in safety and compliance, I do audits and help people and the environment stay safe and clean.

I do historical reenactment as a hobby, because history is cool!

Nooooo, do you really think we’ll need a computer to run it? You don’t say, and I thought we’d just use one of the big 1920s lever boards with lots of Frankenstein style switches and big manual valves and just work really really fast.

It’s hilarious that you’re phrasing as if the software is the problem, and the gigantic, multi billion dollar facility that is required to do it.

That’s not even a joke.

The most pessimistic cost for ITER, the first real fusion reactor, is 65 billion dollars in total.

In the last two years, we (people) have spent over 600 billion dollars on LLM shit. Mostly datacenters and GPUs.

“I need help from someone strong here.” That’s really what they needed.

Offtopic-ish, but a couple of years ago, I couldn’t open a jar, so it said “ugh, I’m going to need a tool for this”. Then my then-boyfriemd walks by, opens it and goes “you’re welcome”. I had to explain why I was laughing so hard.

I still tease my now-husband with that every time I need a hand.

Im a doctor, just not a medical one.

Also, nobody ever calls me doctor.

I just realized I’m an adult too. Hmmmmm

Not for dinner though.
