@ablitter That would be no problem. What’s PiP P!N?

By request 😁

@SlipstreamPin 😉

@ablitter I’m always looking for a challenge! What are you thinking?

@ID_AA_Carmack Isn’t that an Atari 2600+?

The demo we are showing is an RL agent on a laptop playing an unmodified Atari with a robotic controller moving the joystick and a camera looking at the screen.

@MooStation open marriage? no, open firmware

old and gay (aspirational), vs new and gay (pejorative)

@SandyofCthulhu He doesn’t count.

@TylerGlaiel how do you pronounce “jpeg”?

how do you pronounce "gif"?

@MrAlanSpencer I met him briefly at SF Sketchfest in 2017 when he was in town for a screening of Kentucky Fried Movie. I remember him as being a real down-to-earth guy.

Jim Abrahams and I wrote a pilot for ABC in 2006 which the network admitted was hilarious, but still passed. It was a sendup of forensic crime dramas. In the first episode, people kept hearing a horrific sound before finding a victim. Turned out the murder weapon was a trombone.

@ID_AA_Carmack Cold, damn cold! 😉

I was reminded recently of one of the more dumb-ass things I have done. In one of the Armadillo Aerospace vehicles we ran an alcohol feed pipe through a liquid oxygen tank. It had an air gap jacket, but we were still concerned about the possibility of freezing the alcohol if there was an extended launch hold. We did an experiment with a beaker full of ethanol in a liquid nitrogen bath, monitoring the temperature over time. The result was unexpected — the alcohol didn’t freeze solid, but it took on the consistency of a thick honey. We would pull the stir stick out and watch the viscous liquid slowly make its way down. It was so mesmerizing that I… poked it. With my finger. Liquid nitrogen is less dangerous than many people think — it isn’t like a Mr. Freeze gun. I had a high school science teacher that splashed some at students after doing the frozen flower demonstration. It flashes to gas and dissipates really quickly. This was like reverse napalm. Super cold, sticking to my finger, and not evaporating or sliding away. It was just a tiny drop, but it was instantly obvious I had made a mistake. Only a tiny little patch of frostbite resulted, but it did drive a bit more caution later.

@TylerGlaiel courage

old laptop died finally so I had to upgrade and apple, what the fuck is this

@ID_AA_Carmack Read the first sentence and at first thought you meant “shipping” as in “fanfiction.” 😮🤣

Looking for advice on a little re-shipping project. I want to donate a set of 21 science fiction books, selected by the Libertarian Futurist Society from their Prometheus award winners, to any town or school library that requests them. Does anyone have good experiences with a company that could manage the ordering of individual books from Amazon (or directly from publishers), application of a sticker to each one, then shipping them all together as a set to recipients? I have no idea if this will turn out to be 10 sets or 1000.

@SandyofCthulhu Woof.

Another girl I’ve had a celebrity crush on forever is no more. We have memories. Even if I don’t have an enormous schwanstucker.

@tvaziri The Court Jester

What is your favorite movie that doesn’t have a gun appear onscreen?

@jeriellsworth Jeri, I’ve been going to this high school for seven and a half years. I’m no dummy.

@Mac84tv @BeesMcBees

@BeesMcBees My wife named him after The Lord of the Rings character. But a nod to the Bandai console is fun too.

✨Meet Pippin! 🐰 Some horrible human dumped this little boy in a park a few months ago, likely an Easter “gift”. Thankfully a friend rescued and fostered him until we decided it was time for another fuzzy friend. He’s so curious and mischievous and we love him already. ❤️

@reverendkjr Keeping you honest until that day comes. 😉

@ablitter I think you may be the only person who will read it once it becomes a reality.

I only today saw a pic of the new and improved Gabe Newell. Good for him. I'm sad though that everyone assumes he is on Ozempic and didn't do it naturally. As someone who did it with good eating and exercise, I know people automatically assume a drug was involved. Boo.

@benjedwards coming soon from House House and Panic

I used speech to text to say “new Castlevania game” in a note, and I got “Newcastle Van game” 😁

@ImpossibleScott @dosnostalgic Also, you get rights to *these* console ports specifically, not exclusive rights to any/all console versions.

Anyone want to buy the rights to Dragon's Lair for $20,000? elite-systems.auction/assign/dragon-…

@dannyodwyer @romero He looks mostly the same these days.

Our tape preservation project is finally hitting the important stuff - 1080p @romero hair!
