I'm a human being, god damn it. My life has value.

  • Well, you got me. I'm trying to do better.

  • Yeah I'll have one Nakatomi Plaza with fries...

    You don't have that on the menu? It's just a ham geruber, but you lie about the mustard being German.

  • I looked at it and felt like it was so specific that if you'd ever met me you'd know who had written it. Beyond that there was no value in sharing, so it wasn't worth the chance of being recognised.

  • Those of you that back your vehicle into parking spots, why do you do it?

  • That's the softest. Just the weakest. Disreputably fragile. The secondhand shame is radioactive, I need iodine. I can't even cringe because my face went numb.

  • A fun writing exercise. I won't be posting what I wrote for privacy reasons, but just saying thanks for the nudge I needed to introspect after a really weird week.

  • I didn't know that about subs, interesting. Knowing sleep deprivation causes impairment on par with driving drunk I'd have assumed it was more of a concern.

  • Adjusting ship time to standard planetary time is a weird way to phrase how this would actually be accomplished; in order to make ship time broadly sync up with planetary time, you'd have to park it in an orbit that puts you at the equivalent of the solar day planet-side.

    Depending on the length of the mission and the difference in the length of day, you would either want to regularize your orbit to keep the crew's 24 hour schedule in parity with the equivalent solar day relative to the planet, or keep them parked in a geosynchronous orbit that slowly falls out of sync with the planet-side clock.

    For reasons of crew health you would not simply set your clocks to an arbitrary point on the planet's surface, because that would screw up everyone's circadian rhythms and create unsafe levels of fatigue. It would be far more professional to staff the ship around the clock so that someone's always awake and fresh. Depending on availability of personnel, you could even stagger shifts so that staffing changes are seamless.

  • I will kill Poe's law or die trying. I hate the idea that we share so little context as a culture that every joke needs a signpost. I fight it my way, but the real war will only be won when global society has enough shared culture for us to make each other laugh without honking a bike horn and giving an exaggerated full-body wink.

    Edit: I know I'm being grandiose, you don't gotta point it out

  • Comedians have been using the written word for eons. Some jokes don't land when written, and the real solution wasn't invented this decade.

    My personal policy is that if the joke needs a laugh track, a rimshot, or any big sign that says "Joke" being waved, the joke doesn't work.

  • Was it fairly clear I was just being funny? I hoped so, I try not to tell jokes that actually need to be /s tagged.
