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.

thinking about how in czech "rozdat si to" can mean either "to fight" or "to fuck" depending entirely on your intentions and I think that's beautiful

i've spent so much time talking about Where Would The Force Of An Impact Go with my brother about outfits like this:

today we had the same debate about this "bike helmet for kids" :

"Zajímavým způsobem proběhla adaptace příslovečného výrazu horko-ťažko do podoby horko těžko, když do české podoby byla převedena pouze druhá část (ťažko – těžko), přičemž první (horko) nebyla do odpovídající české podoby (hořko) transponována (✍Jedlička, 1972)"

this was a comment on one of my post from a recent live event. it was photos of joyful queer buckaroos celebrating together and proving love is real through creation, community, and a trot of love. most important I AM LITERALLY IN PHOTO AS A REAL FLESH AND BLOOD HUMAN

it got me thinking about how DEEP AND VICIOUS the irony poisoning of these early internet communities goes. the way buds like this cannot fathom someone just being a sincere person unrelated to their OWN old days of cynical posting. it is fascinating, and i will admit, sad too

despite a DECADE of work, countless live events, 350 tinglers written well before large language models were a thing, there are still people who cannot imagine someone like me could exist. it is a strange place to be. not just part of me, but my entire EXISTENCE is often gatekept

it is easy to say ‘well chuck your art IS strange’ but honestly i think it is more than that. magical realism is common. there are stories about dinosaurs and bigfeet and unicorns. this scoundrel reaction is about two unspoken things: my art is neurodivergent, and my art is queer

heres the thing: I WILL BE FINE. what concerns me is not an issue of MYSELF, it is a concern for the other young outsider buckaroos who see comments like this one and think ‘is that what they will say if i express MY unique way? will i be dehumanized like this at every turn?'

i will be honest, i cannot say that WONT happen, but i CAN say this: for as deep as this irony poisoning goes, it is slowly dying. the way i was treated at the start of my career is LIGHTYEARS DIFFERENT from the way i am treated now. there is a massive shift towards sincerity

BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY. to young artists trotting up, the things that i am harassed over and doubted for and made fun of for are NOT tangental to what has made me successful, THEY ARE LITERALLY THE SAME THINGS THAT HAVE MADE ME SUCCESSFUL. YES I AM STRANGE, WHAT OF IT?

the things that you tuck away for fear of a review that says ‘there is a PROBLEM with this art because it has always been done another way’ THOSE ARE YOUR SUPERPOWERS. the gatekeepers want you to tuck those parts of yourself away because THEY TUCKED AWAY THOSE PART OF THEMSELVES

never forget that your unique way is PURE UNFILTERED 100 PERCENT ROCKET FUEL. it will stick out (maybe, if you are lucky, scoundrels will even say that someone like you could never actually be real), but sticking out isnt so bad when you are waving the flag of love.

in fact, when youre waving the flag of love, sticking out is pretty dang cool. what are flags for, after all? LOVE IS REAL BUCKAROOS. thank you for reading, and if you enjoyed this long post then please consider preordering BURY YOUR GAYS.

#i love making foreigners try it and then try and describe the taste #my favourites are 'gingerbread cola' and 'like jägermeister if jägermeister actually tasted good' #czech #also this ad is the reason why Unreal Unearth album cover with the phrase #'if you wait you'll get the teeth too/don't have to [wait] i can see them now' is stupidly funny in czech

If people were too mean to you when you were growing up, a newborn animal will materialize inside your brain and it’s so so scared and shivering and it will stay there for years. Decades, even. And whenever you say something kind of weird but true to your heart the animal will tell you “Noo! You can’t say that! If you say that, everyone will hate you!”. The animal means well. It’s so so small and everything is so scary for them and it’s just trying to protect you. But listen to me. Listen to me. Whenever this happens, you can’t do what the animal says. You can’t. If you do, you’ll become as scared as the animal. You have to keep saying weird shit. You have to keep doing things the animal wouldn’t approve of. If you do enough things that scare the animal, maybe one day it’ll go to sleep.

#also saying 'good job little one at identifying a danger but this tiger will not eat us' does help #but also if you end up doing that every two or three days #you might use a mental health professional to help figuring out how to make the little animal scared of less things if possible

když jsem naposledy hledala školní plakát s ťuhýkem a nabodnutou myší, který nám videl na základce, tak jsem se k němu dostala přes online katalogy aukra a různých antikvariátů ... nic moc zemědělského jsem tam zatím nenašla, ale zatím top výběr:

a, klíčové slovo je "budovatelský plakát" :D

Hledají se

plakáty a cedule z období socialismu podobného ražení, jako tady tyhle, obecně jakékoliv, které svolávají lidi k práci (nejlépe na poli/v zemědělství obecně)

chcem s přítelem trochu potrollit jeho spolužáky co se prezentujou jako velcí komunisti ale když jejich škola (zemědělka) požaduje aby taky trochu pracovali na poli, tak najednou mají plnou hubu keců

#česky #pak jsou i nějaké stránky #které ty retro plakáty přímo tisknou

i clicked a reel about different arm position when swimming and facebook now shows similar things to me all the time and like...

all the Common Mistakes and How To Swim More Efficiently and Master the Leg/Arm Movement videos are pretty worthless unless you already know what you're supposed to be doing and why?

Like, the difference between straight arm and bent elbow abover water movement styles is useful to me now that i've been going to swimming lessons and had the coach correct my hand movement and forearm movement and shoulder movement with the explanation how the arm is supposed to help&guide the body to slide through the water, before you put the power to it on the underwater stroke.

Like

cool advice mate, i have been trying for the past couple of months, as the coach keeps reminding me every other time my hips start falling down again, except it's really hard to know where your hips are at any given time when you're floating in the water and your internal gyroscopes are in a completely different position than usual.

(But it mostly makes me think about all the self-help videos that pop up on the internet and how many of them quietly expect you to already know how and why something works)
