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.

"Migrant caravans" don't frighten me nearly as much as Trump caravans.
With another candidate, one might imagine that people were genuinely enthusiastic to vote for him. The overwhelming meanspiritedness in this case, however, leaves me little option but to take it as a threat of violence.

Hopefully this doesn't get me banned from Twitch…
Every year for Hallowe'en I like to watch the classic (?) Japanese animated feature, THE ULTIMATE TEACHER.
This year, you're invited to watch with me, starting about 0300 UTC on 1 November.

If I start streaming now, can I get through the end of "A Columbus of Space" tonight?

"Crypto's coming to PayPal."
Firstly, that's a terrible idea.
Secondly, I keep reading it as "Cryptids", which is in a way far better.
Getting on Twitch here shortly, to continue reading "A Columbus of Space".
