The world-famous paint drier.
Just watched Stepford Wives (1975).
The murder part makes the movie weak.
Why #murder ? Just make the copy and send her on her way. Totally clean and you get your meaningless life like you wanted.
Screw that, I choose to believe they are not copies, but there's actually stuff in the water.
Then it becomes a story of the desire to #control and enslave, about abusive #relationships , about #feminism . Super relevant to real life.
Playing Doki Doki Literature Club.
Chose Sayori, finished the #game .
Wait, is that all? That's the whole #horror ? No way, there must be more.
I play again. Natsuki.
And that's when the shock came.
the thought of #writing #poetry
and confessing in it
deep personal thoughts
and showing it to others
I haven't slept since then.
You have to have some guts to call your protagonist Protagonist.
This sets the mood of Snow Crash perfectly.
Hat tip to Neal Stephenson.
Lots of people here on #Mastodon don't like being prodded about their questionable opinions.
Are they looking for #discussion or just want to hear echoes of their own voices?
Anyway, adding a #block to my trophies.
Yo dawg, there are #microbes living in your #nuclear #reactor.
Direct Meta-Analyses Reveal Unexpected Microbial Life in the Highly Radioactive Water of an Operating Nuclear Reactor Core
The pools of nuclear reactor facilities constitute harsh environments for life, bathed with ionizing radiation, filled with demineralized water and containing toxic radioactive elements. The very few studies published to date have explored water pools used to store spent nuclear fuels. Due to access restrictions and strong handling constraints related to the high radioactivity level, nothing is presently known about life in water pools that directly cool nuclear cores. In this work, we investigated the microbial communities in the cooling pool of the French Osiris nuclear reactor using direct meta-omics approaches, namely, DNA metabarcoding and proteotyping based on 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing and on peptide analysis, respectively. We identified 25 genera in the highly radioactive core water supply during operation with radionuclide activity higher than 3 × 109 Bq/m3. The prevailing genera Variovorax and Sphingomonas at operation were supplanted by Methylobacterium, Asanoa, and Streptomyces during shutdown. Variovorax might use dihydrogen produced by water radiolysis as an energy source.
#Rust survey considers #trans people underrepresented in tech?
Judging by the number of #transfem catgirls around, it's the weirdly overrepresented group :P

Dave Fischer"Neutrinos, to the extent they're famous, are famous for not wanting to interact with anything. They interact with regular matter so rarely that it's estimated you'd need about a light-year of lead to completely block a bright source of them. Every one of us has tens of trillions of neutrinos passing through us every second, but fewer than five of them actually interact with the matter in our bodies in our entire lifetimes."
The five times in your life a neutrino interacts with you:
1. Your first kiss.
2. On quitting your first job.
3. First viewing of Fantastic Planet.
4. First time you are bit by a ferret.
5. On finishing the final draft of your first novel.
- Hello, I'm Tom McLeod.
- Hello, I'm John Smith.
- You look more like Jane Smith to me.
- You look more like Tom McJerk to me.
PSA: You don't have to call people the way they prefer to be called, either.
