The difference between Wikipedia and Twitter is that Wikipedia is intentionally a non-profit.

I think the missing piece of the puzzle was the "have enough money to keep the lights on for X months", for me.

@AnarchoCatgirlism I had a joke about astatine but it's already decayed into bismuth. :(

@astrid @ThunderComplex I just hope a series of legal shenanigans makes them shut it down. I.e. "The $1 Toyota" plot. :p

Oh I just remembered-- @juergen_hubert do you have/know any old timey German tales about towns that disappeared, all Roanoke style?

@juergen_hubert @TheOtterDragon Fascinating. A classic "village out of time"!

I haven't listened to it yet but apparently Tycho (the PA writer not the astronomer) went on Haus of Decline's podcast to discuss queer themes in PA and that seems potentially fascinating. https://hausofdecline.com/episodes/1/1920856

@JenYetAgain Is that how they managed to have a convention named after them despite having seemingly zero memetic footprint?

The whole concept of #palworld offends me. Like, it's Pokémon... With guns. As if kids in the US aren't constantly exposed to guns (with a very real chance of being shot to death by one) already??

Cher,
@Cher@eldritch.cafe avatar

@toplesstopics It's much more than that. It's more like Pokemon but with Ark and Breath of the Wild mechanics. You gotta collect materials and build stuff. The guns feel like something added-on sideways.

oh no...first crash in since update 8 😰 I finally got the stuff to make a miner 2 for more coal, and as soon as I placed it, the game crashed...I'm also playing with my husband today, I couldn't get him to join me over the last couple days when I started again 😅

Having been on my first train of the year today (still masking btw), I was enjoying looking out at the infrastructure rolling past the window (yes, I know!)

But I was dismayed – nay, shocked – to see this permissible speed indicator with a non-standard typeface 🙀

Not sure what font they’ve used – it’s not one of the usual suspects as far as I can tell – but it should, according to UK rail regulations, be the one described in BS 3693B–1964, as I’ve mocked up in the second image

A quickly mocked up 35 mph sign according to the RSSB specification for sign AD01m, ‘Permissible speed indicators (mph)’. The ‘3’ in particular is quite distinctive, with an angular upper half.

@transponderings You're my kinda nerd.

    Remember, if you're inventing a religion it should have an aspect that is completely absurd and ridiculous. And, quite possibly, the only part that is true.

    Just watched Bodies Bodies Bodies... It was pretty good. Very Lord of the Flies, but with rich drugged out tiktokers. Not bad for an evening without the kids!

    @SJohnRoss so someone had a really interesting theme idea, that dwarves are in the past, halflings are in the present, and gnomes are in the future... 🤔
