Somewhere in the recent past, this stuff changed name because too many people were too stupid to be able to spell/pronounce/understand the word "rarefied".

I always wanted to to know what it was like to live during the times of the Civil War, Spanish Flu, Great Depression, Civil Rights Movement, Watergate, and the Dust Bowl. Not all at once mind, but ya know, "beggars can't be choosers" and all.

I just finished listening to Season 1 of The Leviathan Chronicles. It's a #ScienceFiction #AudioDrama podcast of beyond amazing quality. Over 60 voice actors, impressive sound design, and a story that will give you headaches.
Who is good? Who is evil? What is morality anyway? Is humanity worthy of immortality, or would we screw it up?
Yes, of course we would. But aren't you at least a little bit curious as to how? If yes, join us on this wonderful journey!

@space_cadet i um, i may have programmed this exact thing before myself. and i’ve just been looking at diagrams of how springs and pendulums plot to sinewaves - friction . my balls had pictures of monkeys on them and they spun when they collided.

If I was creative like you and could code in C++ like you, I would be making awesome things out of Arduinos. Like Cosplay costumes with moving parts and flashing lights. Wearable tech. If I was happy with one-offs, just find a small customer base of rich cosplayers. Or if you want to expand, just make the prototypes and get someone else (a manager) to triage them and take some of them to small production runs.

It turns out that cats do actually understand 90% of what you say to them. They just don't give a shit.
