…it was a legitimate issue with scanned technical drawings unpredictably changing dimensions…

…works great!..

…something something “watered with the blood of tyrants”…

BWAHAHAHHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHHHHAAHAHAHHAH! heh.

…the baby boomer generation were raised on television and consider it an authoritative source of information; fox news made them a captive asset…as for younger folks on the fascist train, it’s likely sensationalist social media echo chambers, and unfortunately more and more countries are fostering the same pathology…

…funny thing is aperture science isn’t even included in that graphic but it fits right in…

…i was scrolling usenet around 17.30 CDT on april 29th, 1992 when a friend posted that a riot was gathering outside his window; the news broke about an hour later…

…presuming that quasi-representative elections happen in 2026 and 2028, which are by no means assured…

…as someone who opposed the fascist-in-chief by civil means and will be wholly caught up in the economic maelstrom, i’m looking forward to watching this unfold, too: it’s the only thing which might save us from full-blown armed conflict and martial law…

…i use base 12 every day; it’s fantastically useful and foundational to civilisation for good reason…

…if it was good enough for the rosenbergs, it’s good enough for the trumps…

…my mazda 2 outhandles my MX-5s and is the only car i’ve driven which keeps pace with my elise; we’ve been waiting for an electric subcompact hatchback for about ten years now but the stateside market keeps doing everything it can not to offer me one…

…nope; her education was 1980s DoDDS, mine was 1980s TEA…

(yes, secession; autocorrect squiggled it into another word as i was typing)

…just that, though: we were taught that emancipation was just one of many issues stemming from increasingly-fundamental differences in economic, social, and international policy, and that the war itself precipitated from the southern states asserting a right to secession and sovereignty which the federal government did not grant…
