I just finished reading 'Unsong' by Scott Alexander and HOLY SHIT it is a book I went into this knowing next to nothing about Kabbalism, theodicy, or rationalism, but still throughly enjoyed it. I plan to reread it after reading William Blake.

If you had one plane, one choice of plane you could fly, what would you pick? (i am choosing to include autogyros in the definition of plane)

absolutely no clue how i ended up here, but some of the questions had no good answer at all. either i felt strongly about several options but was forced to pick one, or every option was off the mark like, the one about non-religious transcendent experiences; mine was playing an MMO with friends!

the biggest problem with baby yoda is that Jim Henson company wasn't involved i have been rewatching Farscape (for the first time since watching it live) and it's ridiculous how easy it is to believe Rigel is a real person. not just the quality of the puppet, but the performance of it.

guests are encouraged to share with strangers the cave ceilings and walls are decorated with accurate reproductions of real cave art, as interpreted by local artists. there is also provided a sort of pigment so visitors can add their own handprint to the walls, if desired 2/2

there's an auction place near me that occasionally has electric cargo tuk-tuks and every time I see them I am tempted to bid. the cargo bed is only about 3ft x 5ft so it wouldn't really replace the pickup truck, but I hate driving this noisy smelly monstrosity

here's a 32x128 texture I made for my Ocarina of Time romhack. its nothing special, but I am proud of learning the process. this was made by modeling a small village in blender, then rendering it from the perspective the player would see it vanilla OoT is full of these sort of background textures

I need everyone to see this fanart of Link by the artist Genzo (Gonzalo Ordoñez). I was trying to find some art by a real human of "buff link" and was not disappointed

that musketeer drip tho

Stillaguamish river, with Ska-dulvas rising in the background (although Wikipedia calls her Mount Higgins)

mossberg sells a line of shotgun-in-a-can called the JIC (Just In Case)

everyone know that one couple

i tore down my old garage on wednesday then thursday was just a grind of slowly pulling it apart. Most of the timber and plywood will be reused in the shed i am building this was the fun bit!

This is really easy to check with google lens (which is not powered by generative AI). The article mentions sometimes using AI/GPT to help write kpop, but it does NOT contain the detail about specifically using it to write Soda Pop or any other song from kpop demon hunters

to be fair .30-06 shells are quite a bit larger than 9mm.

i took this picture yesterday after getting ma'am'd by the cashier in Menards

I ran into the complexity limit, but I might try economizing a bit so I can focus on the details a bit more. It's so big I can't even see the engines on screen when I'm flying, and it seems to be glitched because it won't let me summon it to land. And one engine doesn't even light up.

look at this carrot from our garden growing vegetables is so much fun

i don't normally qt random responses five levels deep in a thread about the traffic problems of a city I don't live in but like, electric tuk tuks exist and they are fuckin' awesome we can make streets safer for everyone while improving parking availability by rejecting big heavy dumb cars

the boring answer is add a door, close up one window and put cabinet doors over the other. the space becomes a pantry with an easily accessible cabinet shelf for keeping the snacks

this is a true story that really happened tap to see full

yoooo this is the contraption Engywook used to study the gate to the Southern Oracle!

irrationally angry this morning because people on Facebook are talking shit about my beloved MG-100 Starfortresses

well yeah, if we're being literal it's a play on "this machine makes folk music", a phrase engraved on guns as a reference to Woody Guthrie's guitar

this came to me in a fugue state

can't find the magazine ad I remember featuring the tattoo on her sweaty abs, but this was the boxart and pack-in poster.... for a 360° hoverbike shooter youtu.be/3d15v50RFic?... really bangin' sound direction tho

just normal docter stuff
