my favorite thing is to say "investing in" instead of "buying"

just closed on a big deal with a major grocery chain vis-a-vis the procurement of some fresh strawberries

Now explain it to a Japanese samurai from the year 1218

"do you know how waterwheels grind up grain in a water mill using the force of running water? We found a way to create a huge source of force that runs all the time and can transfer its force over long distance. I can tell you in more detail, but that's the basics. Now that is a chime that has a mechanism that one can press instead of having to open the door to let you know that you are waiting to be let in. It requires the transferred force to make the mechanism work and that wire is how we transfer the force to the chime."

i love these sort of posts because they feel like a vision of a kinder and more thoughtful world that I wish more than anything was the mainstream instead of the exception

Getting down on my knees and thanking the humans who invented dishwashers and washing machines.

InsNe that dishwashers are more efficient and easier than just washing them manually but they also use less water. It’s a win win situation

They ALSO sterilize dishes, due to operating at a far higher temperature than human hands could ever tolerate. It's a win every way.

sometimes home is a person

it’s kind of funny how often the minute a piece a media starts writing intentional romantic scenes, even between a pairing i was previously interested in, is when i go :| alright. tuning out.

Before this they were being written as the characters I enjoy with a unique and complex relationship dynamic. and now they are being written as Romantic Partners™️ and suddenly all that other stuff I actually care about has vanished in favor of them being romantically attracted to each other in the same way that everyone is “supposed” to be romantically attracted to each other

like okay you’re telling me these characters are professionals who have been working together for years and trust each other so deeply that they have a constant psychic link between their minds. and you are writing them with the same awkward, flustered, clumsy romantic tension as the literally ten year olds in puppy love. why are you doing this to them! their relationship is so much more interesting than that!!!
