@alina Be safe and have fun!
@keirFox @foxyloon 100%! This comic resonated with me since I was a young lad. Before I knew there was a community of folks who similarly reject the awful norms of humanity.

Okay, cool stuff (to me at least):

I have a little diecast model SR-71A with a NASA livery. Of course I had to get the NASA livery.

So I did some research, and apparently NASA did have this plane. Only it was a YF-12. Only it wasn’t a YF-12.

NASA was not allowed to have an SR-71 at the time during the Cold War, as it was classified and belonged to the CIA. But one was loaned to them, they modified it with YF-12A inlets and gave it the (already existing) tail number of an also classified A-12. And because the planes were similar, they passed off the SR-71 as a YF-12.

So this model is accurate to a very real aircraft with an interesting history.

Today I learned that East German chemists created almost unbreakable consumer glassware in the 1970s. They produced hundreds of millions of drinking glasses, expecting significant exports to the west because the product was just so much better than regular glass.

Those exports did not happen. If you're a western marketer of glassware, you *want* your products to break so you can sell new ones.

Outstanding job, capitalism. This is why we can't have nice things.

I wish I had friends. I’d really like to converse about cool shit (or listen to them talk about cool shit), work together on things, etc.
@alina Mines about there too, but no way as nice as yours. I’ve always wore my hair as long as I could get away with it. Which was just about to my shoulders in school. I got so much shit from my dad and his brothers and sister. The Dutch Boy paint character was mentioned every time we visited them

Are you planning on allowing

Na.. habt ihr schon alles im IT-Bereich gesehen?

Euch kann nichts mehr überraschen?

Egal wie dumm?

In lockdown I started mimicking my cat's meows, and having 'conversations' with him. He now meows constantly, and has developed the most obnoxious sound possible for maximum attention. I broke him.
