Hey thank you for posting that. I know it’s not what you wanted but I am looking for safe resources and this is what I need
(I’m trying to heal from some trauma and ngl seeing it at first was a bit triggering but I feel better after reading that description. So thank you sincerely)
Electronic calculators have their own magic but with slide rules you conjure it yourself and it’s beautiful. I like seeing the how behind the why
Next time I visit I’ll ask to be shown again. I miss the long, boring explanations about how every single part of a keyboard works and how they all mechanically and electronically mesh to put our finger taps into words on a screen
I’m sorry for waxing nostalgia, it just kinda dawned on me I haven’t let him know I appreciated being taught those things because nowadays we just expect things to work and don’t question the “magic”
Hey that’s really awesome! My dad showed me how to use one a long time ago. Those things are pure magic
I had that feeling growing up but not the words to put it in. That world war three won’t look like two and we’re probably in it right now (this was many years ago when different turmoil was happening.)
The other reply posted a link that I’d like to read because it looks fascinating which discusses the generations of warfare. I got through the abstract but it’s early rn so I’m not trying to get through the whole thing. It confirms what I felt all these years
The acronym FAST is good to know:

One last thing. It’s ted-ed but here’s a brain researcher who experienced and analyzed a stroke as one happened:

Cw if you need: she displays and handles a real human brain and spinal cord
Hah is that Earnest? I didn’t watch any of that but I know the character
Thank you because I know a bit, but I don’t know enough about him and his shtick to understand the greater context. I’m also not familiar enough with those dog whistles to catch them all out in the wild
Edit: spelling
I don’t play dnd but I love cards and dice. I haven’t checked out their merch but I’d love to support them. I’ll check out the dice!
It was giving me very “House of Leaves” vibes, though I haven’t read that one either. Given the context I can see how those errors (?) add to the environment of the topic. It is still very jarring but I think Mr. Thomson would appreciate the way it reads
I apologize, I thought there was some sort of weird formatting error. Rereading it with a clearer mind and eyes I realize that was intentional
That isn’t something I’d have gone out of my way to find and read but I’ll check it out after having a recommendation dropped in my lap. My local library only has it on audiobook. 17 hours! Great for a road trip 😄 it seems interesting, and by a very interesting author nonetheless
I’d appreciate that quote more if you could link the original context. It’s very hard to parse
This is how I see the comments:
I feel this is tangentially relevant, but I can’t squeeze in a lame pun
A few pet stores are getting on the bioactive enclosure train and they have those guys as well as these cute guys!
my old car had these and did not have airbags
I do not disbelieve you, but now I need to do some looking up because that’s fascinating. literally
Reminds me.of this:

That reminds me of a “game” kids would (try) to play when I was young at school. The kids would say to do just that “bend over, take a deep breath” and the other one would try to lift them up really quickly. I never saw it work. I guess you were supposed to pass out. Idk
