yiff yiff hooray!!!

inside of us there are six, and its pretty much a perfect split between these two archetypes lol

hehe. if you thought lead was toxic, in a textbook we have from the 1970s about hand drafting and sketching, on the very same page lesbian rules are mentioned it notes the following:

Pencil lines or dirt can be removed from tracing cloth by rubbing lightly with a cloth moistened with carbon tetrachloride (Carbona) or benzine [sic] (Energine). Use either with care in a well-ventilated area.

we also have a couple masonry textbooks, and lesbian rules in masonry applications look to be very antiquated, at least from a quick peek at them, sadly.

then again we did yuri with another girl irl on a brick construction site recently! perhaps the true lesbian rules were the girls and fembys we kissed along the way

public works projects are interesting. while the citizens of a municipality should have a say, in this situation business owners perceive an advantage to this change and are willing to more aggressively lobby for it than those citizens. this does not exactly even mean it will truly advantage them, perhaps the bike traffic does help their business more than the parking (this is the case where we live). or perhaps they are right. regardless, the typical bicyclist will have much less motivation to voice their opinion(s), as they can be encouraged to just take another route or contend with the traffic, as annoying and dangerous as it is. advocating for this stuff often requires going to meeting halls and so forth, which takes time, social effort, and the courage to disagree with very motivated business people!

still, if you want stuff to change where you live, do go to your city/county/other local meetings relating to the problems you want to provide your perspective on. it’s definitely some effort, frequently a lot of it! but its often not a case of “someone will voice this opinion in the meeting, so i don’t gotta go”, and you attending really can make a difference. different municipalities of course have their own attitudes. maybe they won’t listen to you at all, or maybe the meeting has been widely advertised and many are attending it!

regarding this proposition in particular, what we will say is that where we live, the expenses this project would result in could equate in value to the funds that our city’s fareless and very awesome bus transit system uses to maintain their fleet over the course of years! of course it’s not as simple as that, but 1.2 million dollars is still a lot of dollars.

p.s.: we bicycle everywhere if we aren’t walking or taking the bus. where we live there is one of these three lane downtown roads. it sucks. the other downtown areas are a lot better but three lanes is very uncomfortable to bike through. please support your local bicycle infrastructure!

do post!! would love to read through at least some of it. most of our (otherwise tiny amount of) biology knowledge is related to medicine, so it sounds like a fun opportunity to learn new stuff.

our start was a bit more convoluted. we have been working with various CAD softwares over time, and often still do for CNC machines, notably 3d printers. but due to circumstances, we also basically have access to an entire (architectural) drafting classroom that sees no use! so so much cool stuff. nice drafting desks, hand implements ranging in age from very contemporary to being war reparations from germany—stuff that has “Made in Germany - U.S. Zone” printed on it—lots and lots of books, boxes of ames lettering guides, and this is just the stuff in the classroom itself! we didn’t want all this stuff to just sit abandoned, so we decided to learn to make use of some of it. there is so much cool technique, and given this opportunity we felt obligated to ensure it wouldn’t just be lost to time.

again, it is an architectural teaching room, so we did have to procure our own engineering scales and such. still, hand drawings are so so so satisfying. there is truly nothing like sketching out an idea, putting some dimensions to it, laying it out on a nice, big sheet of paper, lettering out all those accompanying dimensions etc., and then bringing it into reality with the lathes and vertical mills and welders and other facets of the fabrication shop.

near all the fab and design stuff we do is personal hobby, so we do stuff however we feel really. again we do use CAD not infrequently! but by hand is far more gratifying.

on that note x3

HEHEHE “defenestration” made the german speakers among us giggle. a german word for window is “Fenster”, so the apparent francofication (often considered a high class sounding language) put together with the deranged context makes it 10x funnier

the username Verscharrt und Ungeruhmt sorta means buried and unworthy, honestly checks out hehe

1 дн. назад just means (posted) one day ago

also the arrangement of them into the common pictograph for femininity is PEAK

of course, if there was a second one, perhaps interlocking with the first… x3

FROM EVERY CANADIAN RESIDENT

if non-residents are exempt, thats one way to promote an influx of inbound travelers :3c

either that or this happens (also nsfw!)

for extra hallucinations simply assume the consumption of one (1) early 1900s fire extinguisher’s worth of carbon tetrafluoride as part of your scribe’s daily fluid intake

every time we see AI mix up *U* and *V* we just imagine it not as a machine, but instead as a european renaissance-era writer who accidentally time traveled into the current year and promptly got locked up in a cubicle with a real-time brain scanner wired up that interfaces with chatbot programs seen online

the character’s name is bernd das brot! they are a depressed bread slice tortured on late night german kids television both psychologically and physically, there are plenty of clips on youtube etc. all very fun to watch

medical (I guess it’s in the range for tattoo removal, but power rating for these lasers are stated weirdly)

for those curious (you probably know this though), lots of these are pulsed, primarily to avoid excessive local heating (burning) of the tissue being lased. these can have peak powers in the kilowatt range!

watts are energy (in joules) divided by time (in seconds), and while relating energy to time is helpful for constant-power applications—and even some certain pulsed applications—the timeframe here is often small to the point of not mattering much, and a direct measure of the total energy delivered is ultimately most useful. nonetheless they are very impressive sounding and goofy, like “oh i work with multi-KILOwatt lasers on the daily :3” hehe

any kind of pointing, besides cases where you wish to permanently damage your audience.

for a single one watt beam of light, absolutely! do not bring those to the school show-and-tell. but there are absolutely lasers this (or even more) powerful used in concert settings and so forth. still, you’re very right, care must be taken with them too.

also your point of output contamination is spot on! +1 to avoiding cheap “powerful” lasers :)

you are completely right, but there is a funny thing about many “green” lasers: it is common for them (including this one) to be infrared lasers in disguise, which pump crystals to achieve shorter wavelengths, in this case green. the infrared wavelengths emitted internally look to usually be closer to 800nm, but it is entirely possible to remove the crystal (and IR filter, if there is one) in even a weaker green laser and have a reasonably bright infrared laser!

of course, there is still a blinding hazard, despite IR not being visible to the eye, beyond perhaps a faint red speck on a surface; even some unmodified cheaper diode-pumped green lasers can leak lots of infrared light through! diode pumping is not a very efficient process, so the strength of the internal laser diode must considerable for an acceptable output of green light. of course, this does mean that if you do want an infrared laser, it’s not the trickiest thing ever.

stay safe and have fun!

mm our font renders them basically the same hehe

a real conversation that happened over sms with a real actual friend we know:

(us) we love cooking and baking with others!!!

Ooo me too even if I really only know how to make really good Mac and cheese lol

(us) we would enjoy doing that sometime
there are so much ways to cook it and they are all so good

Oohhh I know, i like making my Mac and cheese really creamy

(us) another one of our favorites is pierogi
its like running a little factory

One time we [friend with his family] put like three different types of meats (bacon, ham and I forgot the third one) into the mac and cheese and it’s really good

[…]

To make mine really creamy I usually add double the milk and butter, and also add sour cream lol

(us) oh like box mac and cheese? or a recipe you have

I usually use box Mac and cheese as a base and add more cheese too ofc

(us) we just usually make our own from ingredients hehe
we prefer big macaroni

I could 100% make mine from scratch but that fake artificial cheese is strangely just too good

for reference box mac and cheese is basically a bunch of tiny TINY ant size macaroni covered in starch with a packet of cheese POWDER in a box. to make:

1. boil the macaroni
2. remove the water
3. mix in cheese powder alongside milk and/or butter to specification
4. serve

it is as bland as it sounds, if not more, even with added seasoning etc. the only purpose for why manufacturers require milk/butter instead of adding milk powder themselves and just requiring for water to be added is consumers would be too suspicious otherwise. literally domesticated war rations… he is thankfully open to learning to cook other stuff with us at least, hopefully we can fix him :3

aaa femboys are so adorable!!

also !noncredibledefense@sh.itjust.works would probably enjoy this :)

hooray bootyshorts!!
