So, because our rabbit is being unusually fussy with his incision, the vet prescribed gabapentin.

I am pleased to report that this supposed miracle drug is chicken flavoured. It's a synthetic flavour but I'm still baffled at whether or not I should feed that to a herbavore.

I wonder how different the world would be if the abrahamics had landed on a "search of the truth by means of interrogation of the mysteries" tract instead of a "conform to the ruberics or burn in hell" tract.

Not that there's a religion on the planet immune to abuses (that's the nature of institutions) but I feel like it'd be harder to weaponize if it was framed as an esoteric pursuit of the Perfect Knowledge of God instead of "you accidentally checked the sin-boxes we care about this week, get legistlated"

I need to find a more Gallusy way to say "Now why in the fuck did you take a perfectly functional pegboard and shuffle it" because that is EXACTLY how I feel about UI changes.

If your boss tells you to change the order, nature, or appearance of anything a user might consider even part of a workflow, and you agree, you should have quit instead.

Can't believe I had to add a custom adblocker rule to view the releases of the channels I have expressed interest in in the order from most to least recent.

That should be a core ui feature not legacy behaviour I have to recover.

@soatok Goddamn it Soatok every time you toot a link I somehow wind up with homework.

It's been several years and I still don't know how to "practice" my modular synth.

I can muster up the energy for a few hours jam every couple months but it's so unstructured that it really doesn't feel like an assailable problem.

If I could just think of a way to make that a project this would be strike-the-earth achievable.

I tried this, briefly, with "I dunno, turn out a piece of music in the next six months" but that in and of itself is stupidly open-ended and I haven't been able to make headway on that either.

I really need to audit all my in-flight curricula and figure out why they're not in my task trackers. I'm having the same problem with language learning right now. There's a plan, there's a system, there's lesson plans, but the "do the thing" note is never surfaced so the notebooks just sit idle on the pull-shelf.

@gemlog As the kids sometimes like to say, Marcus Aurelius has already absolved you of the need to have a take.

Jesus how many studios worked on this damn thing.

Threats were made.

I'm going to to try to cram a whole bunch of tweets up @da_667's timeline about End of Eva before I have to go to quarterly final readouts.

I wonder what the Original Japanese noun "Instrumentality" is covering, I bet a man with some buddhism, shintoism, and gnosticism lore could do something interesting with that.

OH fuck straight off into space, Shinji.

"So then, this is the real truth behind the second impact."

The biggest attraction at this event was the animation short that aired at the conventions opening.

I was going to bet that that binny is some fun ascii, but there's a 4 in one of the strings, so now I dunno.

Deus Ex steel door sound effect detected.

I should really make that my "someone new has joined the chat" sound on discord or twitch or something so you can all have the same psychic scarring I do.

Man, Magi REALLY shouldn't have an external network connection.

At most it should have someone shuffling a deck of optical disks.

I enjoy the commitment to the bit required by Seele to have everyone hop on a video call in three-dimensional space with their cameras off.

Truly, 21st century coworking at its most realistic.

But really, does anyone with an infosec/actual computing background ever enjoy computers on the TV?

The Emperor Protects.

All others take 3d6 SAN, half on save.

You can tell PGP is fit for purpose because I have had a published and attested key for YEARS and not once has anyone ever bothered to use it to contact me.

Nobody tell soatok I'm still using pgp-generated-and-managed RSA keys for code signing and ssh within the lab. I do not have any spare brain wrinkles to learn new crypto right now.
