basically the way electronics works is, you summon a demon to do your work for you. and it wants nothing more than to return underground (to hell, where it belongs), and you're tricking it into running through mazes to perform calculations and actuate motors, BUT—
this is what a ground fault looks like in a ~2000 amp circuit

cats being capable of understanding accidents and even giving you a little head bonk to let you know you're still cool makes it infinitely funnier that they don't understand when you're trying to help them cats when you step on their tail: i'll admit that was rather ouchie, but given the lifetime of goodwill and trust between us, one must conclude this booboo is but a fluke. cats when you try to get their claws unstuck from the couch covering: this nefarious bitch has never had a single honorable intention in their dishonest and shameful life, this must be one of their sinster plots or perhaps even an attempt on my life,

Our statement on the UK government’s demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the country be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification and content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all. signal.org/blog/pdfs/2026-06…

[2/2] Since I don't ever make this kind of video, I'm sure it could be done a lot better, but hopefully it gets the point across. I'd love it if people who specialize in this kind of video started looking at the broader issue. Here's the link: youtube.com/watch?v=tlQ7EoJD…

A backup isn't a backup until you have successfully restored from it. Until then, it is just a very expensive file upload called 'Schrödinger's Data'.

I was going to praise Silksong for having animations similar to Alucard's, but seeing them side by side, it's the same character controller lol (I love that, by the way)

I've been wanting to write this for a long time, I think now is the time. Empathy is a virtue... and it is being weaponized against those of us who truly and honestly care. It's insidious. By design. Here's how it works on so many... including me, for so long. 🧵

It's funny how the word "edge case" has evolved from "the user submitted 10 million print jobs in one second" to basically mean anything that isn't the absolute happy path. "The edge case where the user needs to reset their password" brother please I'm begging you
