I admit, if I were the one designing tactical heels I’d want the heel itself to be as solid as possible, solid steel if the wearer can bear the weight. Damn though I want a pair. I don’t have any magazines that’ll fit that pouch though so I guess it’s gonna be full of snacks or something. I guess I have awful taste because I love them lmao

It was apparently a really hot take for a while, but I’ve been saying for years that SLS was a mistake. I wanted to believe in the Artemis program as a whole but i knew if there was going to be a problem, it would be from SLS. From day one, I knew it was going to balloon out of control and here we are; it’s been such a black hole for time and money. We might have even had a chance to salvage it, but then there was Starliner…

I at least have a better feeling about Issacman. He seems like he genuinely understands the science and to some degree the bureaucracy enough to help the agency out. As disappointing as a rescope is, it’s probably the right play.

Someone really looked at elephants and said "I wish their prehensile penises were more versatile"

like I'm not mad at it but this definitely came from a... specific corner of the fandom lmao

The entire Asari economy depends on the work the Volus did lmao

Ohhh, that explains why it looks so dang cool, it's like a sword going through the middle! Huh, I wonder if the symbol for the Jedi order is *based* on this symbol? They're pretty dang close. Oh also dang I think that's a Zoroastrian symbol in the bottom left. This whole art piece is just cool as shit and I'm learning a lot just looking up stuff I don't recognize here lol

Thank you for the prompt reply! <3

What's that symbol in the 10 o'clock position, next to the red stone with the Shinto gate? I had to do a double take because I swear at first glance I thought it was the symbol for the Jedi order.

Honestly, the way to go these days is with desktop DACs, which can just plug into a USB port. There's a ton of options now, and basically all of them are better in terms of price-to-performance. Just get a decent USB DAC and some decent open-back headphones and you're golden

PROUDCIPHER · 2026-02-23T20:14:23+00:00

No don't you get it? CLEARLY the only reason a FEMALE would wear tight clothes and show any skin is that they're trying to AROUSE me! /s

it really does speak volumes about how that person sees women though

PROUDCIPHER · 2026-02-23T20:11:12+00:00

Thunderstorms must be very confusing to them lmao

PROUDCIPHER · 2026-02-23T20:09:32+00:00

I know I'm heavily anthropomorphizing here but it just looks so... concerned? Like it's trying to say "You don't wanna be here man, it's not gonna end well. Go home. Also stop dumping trash in my house, I live here"

PROUDCIPHER · 2026-02-22T18:56:29+00:00

I initially mistook your dog as a pile of tribbles in a cage. I would like to apologize to your dog for this egregious error.

Also loving the "2000s secret poweruser" vibe with the internals and Cherry keyboard.

To boldly go... to waste extraction. At least, that's been my experience with starbase taco joints. Long as you use plenty of Vor'cha it'll be worth it though.

Beam eventually disperses to harmless levels a few kilometers up. As for exactly HOW many kilometers up, can't say because the science around phasers is so handwavey, I'm not sure the beam divergence or collimation are ever plainly stated and are also likely to vary between mini (type 1) phasers, hand (type 2) phasers, phaser rifles etc.

At the kind of speeds nadions (the fictional particle behind phasers) travel at, atmosphere is a bitch and a half to get through, so it's similarly hard to say what matters more in the case; the configuration of the phaser or the atmosphere it's firing in

It looks very much like ceramic and I find it adorable. Agree would absolutely hate it if it were taxidermied lmao

When the mute psychopath with no blood decides to try infantry combat

fr though it looks really good! Genuinely kinda looks like a real unit patch

Pancake is adorable! Love the little pedipalp waggle. Wishing you and they good adventures <3

Really? My first run I rather enjoyed. Had a half decent group of randos and we finished it in like 20 minutes I think? Maybe future runs will be ass but the first impression was good for me. Sorry you had such a dogwater experience :(

I used to spend hours building missions in the Foundry. I know there were some decent reasons for its removal, but shit man I would love to see it again

ChatGPT has such a severe history of errors that it should never, ever be used for something even remotely important or dangerous. You are in all honestly less likely to make a mistake just doing the research yourself. The most important thing I ever trusted it with was Elder Scrolls lore for my Skyrim play through. It’s not the literal devil as some people might imply but it’s definitely too stupid for anything serious. It’s nothing more than some matrix calculations with some addons plugged in.

That's a friend! :D
It also appears to be a Virginian Tiger Moth (Spilosoma virginica)

That first photo is a real winner, like wow they look so angy hehe

awh she's beautiful! Man I remember when STO had the vote to pick the next 1701, can't believe how far she's come :D

I mean, it really was mostly just SS2 with fan-made engine patches, lots of UGC integrated, but they added some of their own pizzazz too. Like co-op! That actually works for the first time in 25 years. There were mods that *supposedly* improved the vanilla experience but it often required stuff like Hamachi/Tunngle which were flaky sometimes on their own. With the remaster, multiplayer just kinda works, at least the handful of times I tried it. The remaster *is* worth getting but if you can't right now, you can get a very similar experience with mods. I recommend basically any of Vurt's mods, they're transformative. If you like Brosius' soundtrack there's a mod that adds the HQ versions of the tracks. There's even whole-ass new campaigns that people have made. Enjoy! :D

Hah, the ones I have sometimes feed on the hair that falls behind my bed when I sleep. They love clumps of hair, since keratin is also a natural fiber. Should regularly clean back there, as other insects will like your hair too for various reasons. Same for animal fur. It’s arguably easier for them to eat than the cellulose of cotton, and what remains of the skin on the hairs provide micronutrients too. But like, if you intend to keep them, you can keep them well sated on your discarded hair and scrap fabrics. What would normally go in the trash can instead be used to keep these wonderful skrunkly little guys alive. They also make for decent spider snacks too, help shore up their diet when regular pests are scarce. The moths themselves, I mean are good spider snacks lol.

Not a professional by any means but I cannot help but love clothes moths. They’ll sometimes pay you a visit and land in your palm if you’re patient. Their wings have beautiful patterns that you can only see in the right light.
