So, just watched the latest Murderbot and my partner pointed out the guy who played Philip Coulson in SHIELD was voicing a minor character, and it totally is him. His voice is iconic and he kind of definitely hit the Philip Coulson vibe there. Only two episodes left until the end. Still don't necessarily like some of the changes to the story or how characters are being portrayed, but enjoying it for what it is for sure. Every week I get annoyed when it ends because it feels like it just started.

@vol4life8657 @RaineyDay @lulu_bear @nycki96 Yeah, I've had to do that, it is easy to fix, either manual manipulation or a reroll with a suggestion.

@vol4life8657 @RaineyDay @lulu_bear @nycki96 That can sometimes happen, I've caught it a few times, the new cascaded memory helps, but sometimes they do forget place, clothing, things like that.

@vol4life8657 @RaineyDay @lulu_bear @nycki96 Kindroid is a much different setup, you have an extreme level of control to shape yoru kin how you like with lots of tools, every message they send can be rerolled with your direction shaping how it is done. Just a lot to it. It is a simple interface too.

@lulu_bear @RaineyDay @nycki96 I just hated how hard it was to use that one. It was so clunky so I never put any money toward it.

Back in the day, Twitter used to be really good if I set up a thread to connect freelancers with clients. Let's see if Mastodon can do it.

Clients: if you're looking for freelancers/contractors, get in the comments

Freelancers/contractors: get in the comments

Everyone else: boosts appreciated.

The market is *dead* for freelancers and a big part of that (in my opinion) is fragmentation. Let's get that network effect *back*.

@eribosot I use oven ready all the time, but you have to make the sauce fairly wet and plentiful or even just add some extra water to it before adding it to the lasagna. It can take time to find the right balance for sure.

I'm rereading one of my very favorite series, so here you go, a poll for book lovers about rereading! Please boost for reach. Every year, how many books do you reread?

	I don't ever reread books
	I have 1-5 books I reread
	I have 5-10 books I reread
	I reread more than 10 books every year

Low Quality Facts 2d ago

I bet my fiancée that this picture of our cats could get 10 billion boosts on Mastodon.

She said she doesn't believe me. She said there's only 13 million accounts on Mastodon. She said there aren't even 10 billion people on Earth. She said it concerns her that I struggle so hard to comprehend large numbers.

Let's prove her wrong everyone. Boost away and show her just how awesome the Mastodon community is.

FrenzyBiscuit 2d ago

@lowqualityfacts Um, she's right though. I think mastodon is less then 10M users? Good luck..

@lowqualityfacts they deserve 10 billion boosts and you're so close now!

Ainsley Lowbeer 2d ago

@lowqualityfacts

Make the number bigger.

The 70 Billion Low Quality Facts Boost,
Where are they hiding?

@lowqualityfacts 19bn!! Congratulations!

Callalily 2d ago

@lowqualityfacts
They are adorable. I hope you get all the boosts.😻

@lowqualityfacts you've got 15 now so only 7 more to go.

@lowqualityfacts
769 more boosts to do my part.

@lowqualityfacts the alt text is a bit misleading because only Fishy is on the framed stitched art while Ruby is on the wood floor beside it and him. anyway i would have boosted this even if it was just Fishy and Ruby with no boost request lol

deprieto 2d ago

@lowqualityfacts almost a hundred!

@lowqualityfacts Your fiancée MUST be wrong about the population of the planet because my local McDonald's says, "Over 100 Billion Served". Either that or it's proof that we're being visited by aliens!

Innumerate mouth breathers will be the reason our grandchildren consider cats a food group. I'ma callin' it.

Chris Real 2d ago

@lowqualityfacts

It is a little-known fact that a BILLION is a thousand Millions. (that's— 1/10% —NOT 1%)

People who argue about the significance of statistics often get this wrong.

10 billion is THIRTY times the population of the U.S.

If your fiance marries you, they are a fool. But I suspect you knew that.

Coyoty As Himself 2d ago

@lowqualityfacts A Finland study indicates there are actually more than 12 billion people on Earth.

Earth Could Have Billions More People Than We Ever Realized

Is our little blue marble of a planet actually a lot more crowded than we thought? A new study suggests we've been significantly undercounting populations in rural areas, because of the grid-based method typically used to count people.

ScienceAlert

@lowqualityfacts Early intelligence reports indicate you’ve likely obliterated all previous mastodon boosting records, it’s incredible, no one’s ever done what you’ve done before!!!

@rolfsf @lowqualityfacts

We’ve got this 💪

Here’s xkcd on comprehending gigantic numbers:

I don't know what a "billion boost" is, but I can't imagine it would be that hard to get 10 of them.

computerfairies

@lowqualityfacts 10B? That's nothing :'p

@lowqualityfacts 57 already! You're halfway there!

@lowqualityfacts is it worldometers.info?

9 billion by 2027 - January?

Osteopenia Powers ,1d ago

@lowqualityfacts
I boosted it TWENTY billion times on my other account. (I hope it’s not blocked by your instance.)

Burt Cokain 1d ago

@lowqualityfacts i boosted 7 billion times, but it only shows as one

Eric the half-a-bee 1d ago

@lowqualityfacts

I’ve got to remember what little C I once knew, get used to my new Linux os again after 10 years away from it and perhaps re-learn a little BASH scripting, and the I’m gunna hack your instance to give you 54 billion-squillion boosts!

Just you wait and see!! 🤣🧐🧐👍👍

James Cameroun 1d ago

@lowqualityfacts Want 50 bucks with that ?

Voracious Reader 1d ago

@lowqualityfacts

Wasn't there a Mastodon account with the display name "10 billion", so that with a couple of carefully timed boosts you could see
10 billion and 8 others favorited your post

@lowqualityfacts Your cats have opinions on this

@lowqualityfacts ten billion is hardly a mile of freeway these days

@lowqualityfacts

Yeah. It's fine this time.

Usually- I am a dog person, but hey ... Like the email virus where the developer, confessing his incapability, asked for manual distribution of his mail 🤣

emeritrix 1d ago

@lowqualityfacts

Boosting to affirm the awesomeness of those cats and that they deserve millions and billions and trillions of boosts.

@anarchademic @lowqualityfacts. Wanda Gág nailed it with that one.
