#introductions (1/2)
Unashamed space colonist & atomic energy enthusiast. Getting ourselves out of tight spots using technology is pretty much what we humans DO. Appeared in the 2012 documentary “Lunarcy!” & still occasionally get contacted by people who have seen it recently on CBC. Low-key supervillain, looking to build a better world that will be worth conquering. Not a typography nerd, but enjoy using LaTeX.

Neoconfederates who want to talk about "States' rights" should be confronted with the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850, which was passed solely because the Southern States threatened to secede and start a war if it wasn't.
This didn't just assert the supremacy of Federal over State laws. In combination with the decision of the Supreme Court in Dredd Scott v Sanders, it gave the legislature of South Carolina supremacy over Massachussetts.
My latest space record is a 7" EP documenting the flight of Apollo 8, "presented by Du Pont Teflon™ fluorocarbon resins".
Bought it for a buck from a weird local nonprofit called "The Welman Project". Their main business is apparently collecting and distributing materials for schoolteachers, but they have a little store in front selling "vintage" stuff.
Thanks to the SDF 35th Anniversary celebration, I finally finished editing and uploaded my "A Step Farther Out" show for 23 October of last year.
Today's "A Step Farther Out", in which I compare a Starbucks executive to Emperor Palpatine (in terms of sheer creepiness).
The 20 000 people who died in the earthquake and tsunami? They don't matter, nobody will miss them.
The three badly-damaged power reactors which failed to release enough radioactive material to endanger anyone's life? That's a horrible burden the world will have to carry for the rest of time!
The National Film Board of Canada should be ashamed for providing a platform for this ghastly tripe.
I try not to hate people, but when it comes to antinuclear propagandists, I have a hard time.
It's not just that they're deliberately deceiving people, and actively working to make the world a less habitable place. It's their callous cruelty.
The makers of this movie, for instance, say of the 2011-03-11 disaster in Japan that "the real legacy of this is the ensuing nuclear disaster at the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant".

I need some Plexiglas sheet, or something like it. So I went to a home-improvement store where they have such things.
I need six pieces each 20×24 inches, and six 16×32. The biggest sheet they had is 30×60, which is nearly as large as a sheet can be, out of which you can only cut a single 16×32 piece.
So far today I haven't managed to do anything more useful than order two things on eBay (a metal pocket comb, and a pair of HD15-to-8P8C adaptors for using Ethernet cable for VGA).
Just your run-of-the-mill space colonist.
