Honestly Be Pretentious As Fuck About The Stuff You Create. Do A Press Release For Your Fanfic Updates.

Would anyone be interested in a Twitch stream Friday?

If so, what times work best for people? Would you rather see a beginner Twine/IF tutorial or more in-depth UI design/coding? (I may experiment more with writing streams in the future, but for now I think coding/tutorial focused stuff works better for streaming)

People love to talk about the immortality of the machine, but I'm a mechanical engineer, so I know they delude themselves. Most machines are far more mortal than flesh.

How long does a machine last? A car is a very solid machine, expensive, precision designed, and you're lucky if you get more than three decades out of them.

Your enemy is not the flesh. It's entropy. It's the death knell of the energy imbalance. If you want to live as a complex machine you will, by necessity, generate a great deal of entropy until your machine breaks irrevocably.

You want to be immortal? Then don't worship the machine, worship the stone, the forest. Seek that which is either simple enough to never know death or diffused enough to accept every death.

If Baiae is underwater then pour one out for Apulia and Venice I guess 😔🙏

Baiae is a real place, an ancient Roman settlement currently underwater, so worry not, both Venice and Apulia are alright in the Rose's world.

Baiae was known to be one of the most opulent resorts of the old empire. Here are some of its ruins. A pity we'll never see it in its former glory.

It's my 5 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳
