Horizontober Day 11: Acrid

'The world is silent as Aloy falls. Acrid air fills her lungs. An explosion lights up the white sky and Rost dissappears amongst the flames; slipping through her fingers even as she reaches for him.'

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1

The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.

So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.

So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.

Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.

And the probe is working again.

From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

the blightstaff ✸🪲

(for @artists-guild-of-exandria project Spells n stuff !)

[Image ID: A stylised digital illustration of Caduceus from Critical role on a black background. He has a strong stance, holding the blight staff in front of him with a stern expression. his pink hair, clothes, the silk on his arm and sashes around his waist, are blowing back from the force of the staff's spell. the crystal on top of the staff is glowing bright purple with a halo of light around it, with turquoise beetles flying around and emerging from holes in it. the staff is planted in a patch of green grass, the same green grass and pink fungi around Caduceus' feet. He also has pink lichen all over his clothes and beetle chitin armour, tabi boots and sleeves. End ID.]

I keep daydreaming about a TMA time travel AU where nobody remembers the future except for the fears themselves, so instead of there just being tape recorders recording at random, they now randomly start playing audio from the previous future as well. They give information from useful to frighteningly vague, but most of all, the recorders tend to just fill the air of the Archives with the most mundane moments that don't necessarily serve a purpose. Like a mere radio.

There's the sounds of a supermarket for 10 minutes straight until Martin's quiet voice can be heard saying "sorry, I'm back" and Jon's quiet reply of "oh, good. You found it." "Yeah, I had to get help from someone who works here, Diane I think her name was. She was very nice actually!" "Gone so long talking about the cows, were you?" Or Tim and Sasha chatting at a restaurant that the present two had been planning to visit soon. The Archives will be nearly silent except for the tapping of keys, then everyone will startle as a heated argument between Tim and Jon suddenly plays from a tape recorder that nobody remembers putting on that shelf. A shockingly romantic conversation starts playing in the breakroom while it's just Tim and Martin, and Tim's eyebrows slowly raise while Martin turns beet red. Sometimes (usually) the tape recorder will play something so alarming that everyone just stares at each other for a solid minute. Sasha mentions meeting Michael and everyone's like "the guy who was going to kill future Jon???"

Every time I'm reading a fic, there's some conversation in it that makes me go "can you imagine if the S1 archives crew heard this," so I... do imagine

It's incredible how people have been protesting pants and skirts not having pockets but not a single peep is heard over the fact that skirts no longer have underskirts by default. Underskirts (or lining) was a thing when I was a child, no skirt would be made without lining, you didn't have to think and check if your whole ass is visible in a skirt because lining was a thing!!!! Now most skirts don't and it's simply because it's cheaper, fuck the fact that a customer doesn't want their panties shown in broad daylight, it saves a couple of cents on material.
