Boosts and intros really appreciated. 🧵

I shipped the SolarWatch Eclipse Catalog update today.

This one took a while.

Every solar eclipse from 2000 to 2200, interactive path maps, local circumstances, and a 3D Moon shadow simulation.

I obsessed over the data but it was totally worth it!

I unironically love this because it's the perfect analogy:
- you can only get 6 wild cards by cheating
- showing everybody your hand is the worst possible strategy
- it actually takes zero skill or strategy to play a wild card and you still managed to fuck it up
- this hand can absolutely be beaten by using Skip cards, reverse cards, +2 cards, and +4 cards
- and "having all the cards" in uno means you're fucking losing anyway

She is soooo awesome <3

The fun thing with having a lapse in your prescription for ADD medicine is when you bring home the drugs and you haven't had ADD medicine *and* you've been fighting a cold for a week and a half, you put them in some easy-to-remember place that your brain then absolutely and totally erases from your memory as if it is information you will die if anyone ever finds out.
