Purveyor of inopportune misfortunes. Unapologetically queer.

I've given up on defining "gender", but can confidently say that whatever you think mine is, it's not that.

My happy place is where I art and engineer at the same time.

"Convection oven" is a confusing name because who the hell calls it "forced convection"? It's just a fan, bro. Just call your oven "fan forced" like everyone else does.

@ositalinguista Almost exactly the same thing. They generally have a faster fan than a convection oven. My air fryer has a "bake" mode which runs the fan at a speed more typical of a convection oven (and also allows lower temperature selections).

But generally, yeah, that's all they're doing: blowing hot air instead of relying on natural convection.

So, The Oatmeal's random comic generator threw this at me.

One reason why many Allistics have a problem with Autistic people, who "don't look autistic" and call themselves disabled, is their thinking pattern of hierarchy and competition. We are "too different" and "too similar" at the same time. They don't want to support someone, who might be even "better" in any aspect than they are. In their view only people who are lower in their idea of hierarchy, who for sure can't be serious competitors are allowed to call themselves disabled and be supported.

@EbThen If there's a line of sight from one room to another, a pedestal/box fan could do a decent job of moving air between them. Done that myself in a pinch in the past, to decent effect.

Native technologists call for the Apache® Software Foundation to change its name.

I am not Indigenous, but I join their request in allyship.

Apache® Appropriation

It is not uncommon to learn about non-Indigenous entities appropriating Indigenous culture but none of them are as large, prestigious, nor well-known as The Apache® Software Foundation is in software circles.

I think we have a very beautiful sense of authority. It has to be earned and lived, independent of social status. It goes along with integrity and fairness. It takes critique as a chance for improvement.

Allistics‘ understanding of authority based on social status, being upheld by believers and followers, is just vanity.
