Exhausted.

I spent today producing a basic diagram to explain to my mom why I would not raise the handles on her rollator like she wanted.

The models are (a) the CSP realistic body, modified to be closer to my mom's body type, and (b) a heavily modified "Four Wheel Walker Rollator" by TapvigoEDU on Sketchfab (CCA4; links in reply). Clothes added for modesty.

Please share the link to this toot, not the image.

Out here repping space fandoms × flu shots

This is thoughtful design: Muji apparently released a flashlight that works with any combination of 2 AA and 2 AAA batteries, only more dimly with fewer batteries.

Love to go on that sky place and immediately see a friend reposting content mocking tools for disabled people

(I'm gonna use the As Seen On TV tag for this sort of thing, bc idk what else to use for "tools for disabled people marketed more widely to bring down the price")

Love that

@jimcarroll @andrewfeeney @atomicpoet Hail the Lords of COBOL.

If you don't want Cloudflare and Google and Microsoft to enter the Fediverse space, you have to engineer Fediverse software in such a way that small operators don't have a need for Big Tech.

Cloudflare is here specifically because so much of the Fediverse is expensive to operate.

When I post a link from this account, it shouldn't be tantamount to a DDoS!

Are you a person who was around in, or knows a lot about, 1970s/1980s fandoms? I'm working on a project about spoilers and want to learn more about early uses of the term in its modern sense. I'm reading Usenet archives; do you have memories of earlier emergent uses? Please share! Non-fandom memories and leads also welcome, of course.

@chillicampari I think I know but do I really? Do I know or do I just think I know? *metacognitive wheels lock up and brain spins out onto the shoulder*
@tprophet It's having some really "fun" knock-on problems—like, ATC staff apparently get scheduled by how busy it's supposed to be. This whole holiday storm crisis led to a friend who works in ATC being scheduled for emergency shifts, but regulations about ATC overtime mean that he and a bunch of his coworkers have got a mandatory rest coming up … just as SW is trying to shuffle all their planes around. 🤦
