completely hypothetically, if your pee turns hot pink, before you run to an oncologist with worry, go through this simple checklist first:

  • Did I have beetroot soup today?

That's it, that's the checklist

I was really looking forward to this new lighting kit I spent hours prevaricating over. It arrived!

I think, and I'm not totally confident here, that I'll have to return this.

Last call for our SPIDERHECK video. A brutal deathmatch where only one spider can be victorious and the others are carved up into clouds of twitching limbs. It's also a game that Joel wasn't too bad at! Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfmZjy-DDHI

Fascinating aspect of Sokobond Express - and I don't know if I ever did this in Sokobond - is the bond counting you have to do to figure out the correct sequencing. "Mostly", you manage one atom at a time & count the free bonds after each step, e.g. here it's 1, 3, 1, 1, 0. You have to end with zero.

@gray17 ah I was referring to the fact that you get a bunch of atoms and it's critical to figure out the order of additions, because the wrong order will either complete the molecule (run out of bonds) before you're done or have unused bonds

I don't know if I thought much about that for Sokobond but I'm counting the bonds all the time to figure out potential sequencing

ElectronDance,
@ElectronDance@mastodon.social avatar

@gray17 I went back to Sokobond to see if it could be an issue. I didn't crack open my old save game but I quickly found an early level where sequencing is important.

Move up & your two Hs bind and that's it: your molecule completes - no spare bonds (H has 1, H2 has 0 open bonds). You need to sequence H (1 open) to O (1 open) and then to H (0 bond).

That's what I'm having to do with some of S'Express' more difficult puzzles. I guess I might've had to do the same with Sokobond Classic.

Starting the week as I mean to go on, staying up too late watching ... movies. Yes, they're definitely movies.

Meg and Meg 2 back to back. OTT action of course, but just don't think too hard and it'll be fine. Meg 2 is the better one, it has dinosaurs and a giant squid as well as the sharks. Lots of bits that triggered Jaws memories in both too.

@nivrig inadvertently boosted so unboosted, no slur on your post, just Tusky moved the timeline as I was intending to boost something else 🫣

Well now! Look what arrived just before I have two weeks off!

I'm a very happy, but very confused, boy right now...

(Seriously though, it's such a well made device, and it's obviously stupidly powerful. I just need some time to figure some of it out!)

I wrote this 12 years ago and I still think all social networks are backwards.

"A Pun About Google Plus and The Circles of Hell" https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2011/07/a-pun-about-google-plu-and-the-circles-of-hell/

Basically, my account should have multiple channels. You can choose to follow my main feed - or perhaps only follow my work feed, or cat photos feed, or whatever.

I find your technical posts interesting, but I don't care about your sports opinions. Most social networks don't let me filter out the boring stuff.

@Edent they really need to invest in taxonomic algorithmic feeds instead of popularity based ones which just dials up the negativity, because hate is viral

Sorry about yesterday on twitter. I'm not mentally doing too well. I have depression and anxiety, and a thing happened that triggered a self-hate episode.

@Nifflas nothing to be sorry about, good sir
