Bringing this over from Twitter because its such an incredible design and more people need to see it. A from-first-principles redesign of the Hail Mary by Chance Wen (@wenchance) descending into the atmosphere of Adrian

Crazy how I said this just 2 days ago and today Sony announced they're removing 500+ movies from people that have legally purchased them through their platform

Current Twitter discourse is about ADHD and time blindness. And considering this week I got put on a PIP at work for being late too much. Just a little close to home.

I posted on facebook for the first time since 2023 and immediately all the Meta sites went down lmao

It hit 29.5C inside the lab. Which is air conditioned mind you. 32C outside.

The lab I work are preparing to stop running some of the testing this week as they are temperature sensitive. A nearby lab has had their AC fail and are running almost nothing at all.

Just saw a 20 year old youtube video for the first time

This video looks kinda interesting but because it has an AI thumbnail there is no way I can trust that anything inside it is true and I won't watch it

Now at 34 systems. It's impossible to count by eye so I wrote a kOS program that can identify them and add them to a list. Then I dropped it into my blender file I made a while back for real stars and voila. Though I think it might be upside down...

Still highly stuttery but much improved. Unless you're near a black hole (of which there are 3) at which point your frames go back to being no

Turns out the answer is runs at 13 seconds per frame

My brother's suggestion: periplous περιπλεω - to sail around / circumnavigate

This is currently going unfathomably badly. I posted this 6 hours ago and so far have only got the game to start at all five times. So currently running with anywhere from 0 - 1 star systems (its even crashing with all star system mods removed)

Gonna try installing as many KSP solar system mods as I can and see what happens Currently at 25 star systems

Previously when my kindle dies halfway through reading something I was shit outta luck. But now I can remote access my home archive from my phone and carry on from there, which is great because that happened today and I only set it up this week.

Kinda not great that it's the 13th day of Mens Mental Health Month and I've just heard someone mention it for the first time

Yeah no wonder Iron Lung fits alongside PHM so well now that I phrase it this way

As a former astronaut, I’ve got high standards for space movies. Here are my favorites.

It is 12th June. I just spent 30 minutes on the phone with my provider. I still do not have internet.

My boss is asking me to do something dumb but he's new to me and I don't quite know what the play is to explaining that it's dumb in a way he'll understand. Can I just list reasons? Convince him its his idea to not do it? Say yes and then just don't? Team up with colleagues? Dunno really

Getting back into the swing of things with more @thelunarwar.bsky.social #digitalart #space #hardsf

My take on a Spin Drive.

I am tweaking the FUCK out because why has it been over 2 months and I still have no fucking internet in my flat. I just timed out trying to open fucking google

Just realised I fixed the scaling and adjusted the camera angle and then just never posted them so here they are

Arrival at Tau Ceti

My brother told me to turn the feet into fingers as a joke and then I did it also as a joke but now they actually kinda look like hands and now I'm mildly annoyed he was right

Making some straight bullshit in blender rn

You know I was deciding what book I was gonna read next now that I've finished Downbelow Station. So I guess Children of Time just got bumped all the way up.

Also turns out one of the characters in the book has a real life Filk song written about her. And that' I'd already listened to it before www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuiz...

Tailscale is an insane piece of software.

It is June why the hell do I randomly have christmas music stuck in my head.

Just found out that the book I've been reading (Downbelow Station) is set in the Tau Ceti system.

Sometimes you get to waste 2 hours of the workday making Some Fucking Bullshit in an excel spreadsheet and it's a great time

NightHawkInLight dropping another incredible chemistry video. One of the best youtubers to ever do it

At work we now have to separate types of plastic waste ourselves due to new legislation. Which means each sink now has 5 different fucking bins. And there's 1 more off the left side, 3 to the right, and another 3 behind me.

28th March I set up my internet in my new flat. 5th April I moved into the flat. Today is 2nd June. I just spent 1 hour on a phone call with my provider because I still do not have internet.

All three of my accounts are now suspended. They've changed their bot detector and set it up wrong because huge numbers of people are being suspended at random.

Imagine getting Manley Mogged this hard

Woke up today to my twitter account being suspended lmao

Getting Jellyfin was almost trivial. Hardest part was getting the other computer's IP to access it

By the way this is to scale: 33m tall, 4m wide sections. The person is the same height as me. Wasn't until making this that I really appreciated why redesigning the ship was necessary for the movie. #ProjectHailMary

A Moment

I made a halo on a whim to make a point on twitter and I always dual-post my renders so here it is

54 YEARS SINCE WE PUT PEOPLE ON A MOON ROCKET LETS GOOOOOOOOOo

Holy shit Artemis II is going

This picture of me just before my 5th watch of Project Hail Mary is hilarious

Fourth complete, and with friends this time. (Plus one real life friend who I lent my book to a year ago).

Third watch of PHM complete. Fourth planned tomorrow.

Andy Weir let us have the PHM spreadsheet he showed in a recent interview with Dr Becky docs.google.com/spreadsheets...
