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 Faction Paradox shadows
I still like the idea in Unnatural History? Faction Paradox members not having shadows because they are no longer "real" in Causality
But then would the sombras que corta itself work as a fake replacement shadow? Or do you need a shadow to pick one up?

[ image description: it's a drawing of Count Dooku and Qui-Gon from Star Wars. Qui-Gon is a ghost and he's kneeling in front of his old master with a pained expression. Dooku is sitting on his chair by the window, hunched over, holding his face in one hand. (The whole thing is really sad because I'm really sad) end of i.d.]
Your Honor, Dooku was done so dirty he didn't deserve all this bs!!
Imagine being the guy who finds The Sith Lord in ep 1. But, the Sith Lord tells you how he's got the whole republic wrapped around his middle finger. The Order is blinded by all the power they've been handed. Yoda is a colosal bitch so you can't tell him all that. Qui-Gon's fucking dead... I mean?? Shit at least Sheev offered him a cool cape??

I must not start shit online. Starting shit online is the peace-killer. Starting shit online is the little death that brings total obliteration.
I will stay in my fucking lane and let the urge to start shit pass over and through me. And when the urge has passed, I will quietly seethe in Discord chat with my friends and rejoice when karma inevitably gets their asses.
