btw if you haven't commented on it yet, the fda is taking comments on their proposed rule banning shock devices for autistic people at the judge rotenburg center. they are taking comments until may 28th.

asan wrote a good plain language guide on how to submit a comment if you are not sure what to do!

even just a few sentences saying this is a good rule will be enormously helpful. thank you!

How I imagine the downtime camp activities being like

[cassandrasimplex]

So yes, there's this; Kurosawa was hardcore. But then Mifune did seven more Kurosawa films after this and said he never did anything he was really proud of that wasn't directed by Kurosawa; he was hardcore to match. Forget Burton/Depp or Lynch/MacLachlan; these two are the director/actor duo of all time.

method actor this method actor that. toshiro mifune played a guy getting shot at by arrows by getting shot at by arrows

and yeah i believe it. ^ this is the face of a guy getting shot at by arrows

In fact, printers -- or at least, some printers -- are cats. I discovered this when a particularly difficult printer-diagnosing job ended with mostly disassembling it to perform the extraction of one and a half catnip mice from its guts beneath the print head.

a router is a type of beast. thumbs up

And here's me needing to redecorate a whole house.

Today I learned that in early 20th century Austria, bronze & glass bat lamps were a thing (sources in captions)

Catching floats I

In stranded knitting, depending on the pattern, you sometimes get very long floats. This is not very practical: It makes it harder to keep an even tension and the floats tend to get caught in fingers and toes and other objects when wearing or using the item. So, it’s a good idea to catch these floats onto the back side of the work.

Here I am catching the contrast colour (the dark colour on the left) onto a stitch of the main colour (the pink one).

#stranded knitting #i usually do one yarn in each hand but lately that's been subject to tension problems #when stressed #my left hand tension changes more than my right does #but now that I've had to learn to carry yarn in my left hand anyway #maybe I'm ready for this

My Father in law who is 65 loves Baldurs Gate but doesn't really catch all the things. This is the conversation he had with me today

"I did an evil thing, but I didn't like it so I had to re load."

Oh?

"I was gonna make Ariel, the vampire, into a God, because it makes him all powerful and stuff, after you kill that other guy. Who was a really easy fight, they really hyped him up for no reason."

Ariel?

"Yeah that white haired vampire. I made him all powerful but then it killed like, 1000 people"

Yes, 7000 actually

"Yeah! And did you know some of those were kids? Kids! I was gonna be evil but I got all guilty about it, I don't wanna hurt kids. So I reloaded and Ariel can just stay at camp, I dunno, doing whatever he does. I can't do it. I'm not evil I guess, I tried."

He tried to Ascend Astarion and couldn't, this man is a retired Navy chief petty officer first class, he's killed real people. He couldn't do the evil route in the video game

So "Ariel" gets to drink wine in camp.

#hahaha 'Ariel' gains the ability to walk in sunlight but loses his voi #wait no that's not funny cancel CANCEL 🚫🚫🚫
