I don't generally like KickStarter, because sometimes the people don't ever follow up again after they get the $$. But I'm trusting the Pratchett Estate and @neilhimself and @ColleenDoran on this one. It just started today 8/1 It's almost 2pm EDT and it's already reached it's £25K goal! Congratulations y'all!!

I've always had a fascination with Kowloon Walled City. I had a story where humanity built down instead of up, and based the resulting cities on Kowloon City.

Drove through town today on the way home from Physical Therapy. LOTS more pride flags in the shop store windows and doors.

To quote a famous doctor..."Pride...uh....finds a way."

Okay, that Spaghetti Casserole is better, sure. But I still don't really like it. So it's a three star recipe now instead of one. 1 was "Don't make this." 3 is "It's not bad, but it's not for me."

For Pasta + Cheese, I think I'll stick with good ole mac'n'cheese.

We had a visitor the other day. Animal Control wouldn't take him, and King County wouldn't either as long as he wasn't on the ground. So I named him Charlie. He hissed at me.

Once I came back from Canada, he dissapeared. Which I'm okay with as I'm allergic to rabies.

Pretty sure Laverne from "Laverne and Shirley" was the original pilk appreciator

"Ah, good morning Jenn...I hope for a restful and slow day today and--"

Oh, yeah. The frozen peas worked WAY better. This batch doesn't have that overwhelming canned peas taste and smell. It's no longer a one star (don't make this) meal. Still not sure how many I'd give it just yet....

The redone spaghetti casserole already smells better with frozen peas. The canned peas one immediately smelled of canned peas and it never went away.

The engineers who designed the #Voyager probes half a century ago even thought of the possibility that a wrong sequence of commands may point the antenna dish away from earth (like someone did a couple of days ago).

And they implemented a self-adjusting mechanism that a few times a year scans the positions of a few known stars to infer the position of the earth, and point back the antenna in the right direction.

50 years later, these wonderful machines are still working, tens of billions of km away from earth, with only 69 KB of RAM, and even a wrong sequence of commands won't put them out of use, while nowadays 4 GB of RAM aren't even enough to start VsCode or IntelliJ.

The more I understand how they were designed, the more I feel like an early Medieval engineer looking at the Pantheon or other marvels or Roman architecture. Some amazing skills, knowledge and attention to details have been lost from that generation to ours.

We should be able to hot swap body parts on the go having a set body is so lame where is the efficiency in that :grr:

Growing up and growing older are journeys of constant discovery. You will never stop learning more about who you are, and you should never stop looking forward to who you will become.
