I miss the days where GURPS was home to any sci-fi for fantasy setting they could get their licensing mitts on. #xp #gurps #ttrpg

My manager, arm round my shoulder, looking out into the car-park.
“If you work long hours, skip breaks, take no holiday, lose your wife and family, your mental and physical health and your moral compass you too could ride in one of these babies!”

Most people are familiar with the usual explanation of Aerodynamic Lift

- that air moves faster across the upper surface of a wing than it does across its underside.

But most people don't stop to consider WHY that air's moving, when it WASN'T moving before the wing turned up...

IMO, this puzzle is what prompted the 'Equal Transit Time' explanation of Lift

- a WRONG explanation, but that's totally normal for Lift Explanations...)

The C++ Direction Group paper on safety is remarkable in a bad way. https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2023/p2759r0.pdf

It makes it look like the C++ leadership is not up to the task of engaging with the issue of memory safety in a credible way.

“Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die.”

My final assembly table is full of parts for #LuxLavalier, #EvilGeniusLabs Krakens, Fibonacci64 Flowers, Fibonacci256, and Fibonacci512!
Have you ever seen so many #PixelBlaze in one photo?! 🤩
Or PixelBlaze Sensor Expanders still panelized?
Lux Lavalier is in stock in @wizard's store:

Everything else is coming to my @tindie store in the next few weeks!

Meanwhile, in surprisingly valid criticism.
