Hi, I'm a human! I decided to build my entire modern civilization on top of a type of machine that stops working completely if it comes into contact with water— the substance that covers two-thirds of the earth! Don't worry, I live on the other one-third, where there's no water at all

I used to think computers would fricking love operating in outer space because they can just continuously run cold to the point of hovering near absolute zero, but then I found out vacuum is an extremely good insulator

@mcc the stuff about the JWST cooling plant is pretty wild, definitely worth reading about.
