Every day our quail lived was another display of their spite towards the the gods, but death comes for all and the eldest quail has fallen.

She lived nearly 4 years and laid for over 3. Despite their kind typically only living for 2 years.

She was a fighter being rescued in the summer before the pandemic, missing multiple toes and battle scared likely from a cat we nursed her to help and gave her friends, one she outlived.

She would pick up nuggets of shit and dip them into the water before drinking it. A behavior her younger mimics from time to time.

Yet another example of a birds natural tendency towards spite.

My brain works at the speed of slow fast, like a geriatric turtle who can't fuck.

It has severe tunnel vision, it knows what it wants, it's going as fast as it can possibly too fast for itself. But it's not really going anywhere.

A bit of sci-fi ship making help for anyone looking for it;

Centrifugal guns are your primary weapons due to their light weight simplicity and reliability. Weapons that fire too quickly simply turn into a vapor by the first layer of shielding (this is how the International space station protects against micrometeroites the energy of the impact turns them intoa vapor after hitting the first shield).

The secondary weapons are lasers, but they don't directly deal damage, they simply heat up the ship faster than it can cool itself by blackbody radiation into a vacuum. This is a slow process and is why the centrifugal gun is required as it will quickly damage external systems like communication arrays, radiators, solar panels, solar sails, sensors, enemy lasers and force them to close the viewport.

Railguns exist only on planets, moons, and asteroids due to the fact that they interfere with every system in your ship and damage your hull with the intense magnetic fields they produce. They also get really hot through induction, creating potentially leathal overheating in battle and they need so much power its prohibitive on smaller vessels. Overall, this makes railguns useless on ships despite the damage.

Particle beams, while useful, are only useful at such high energies that the radiation produced requires so much shielding that only big ships can really use them without risking harm to the crew. Particle beams as such are used mainly for interfering with computer systems and visual sensors since the shielding of even the smallest vessels are equipped to handle the particles only high energy waves can make it through which do minimal harm or cancer risk to the enemy crew but still harm computers.

Particle beams made it so failsafe systems using completely manual control with simple mechanisms rather than electronics became necessary for survival.

Obviously, conventional ballistic guns are a hazard in a world where cooking your opponents in their own ship is the main tactic. It is also hard to properly load and service the barrel in space, leading to jams in combat. This is what led to the readoption of centrifugal guns easy to load, easy to fix, and no requirements to clean them in space other than to appease grouchy captains.

The reason the particle beams are so shielded is the nuclear cookie ABCs. Alpha radiation is easily stopped, Betta radiation can be stopped with a few inches of material, Gamma radiation passes through.

So if each one is placed into a cookie and you had to sit on one, eat one and throw one away, you'd sit on the Alpha radiation cookie since your pants will protect yoh, eat the Gamma radiation cookie since it will just pass through you and is unlikely to collide with molecules in your body such as DNA, and throw away the Beta radiation cookie because it will collide with molecules in your body.

Gamma radiation will, however, interfere with many computer systems. This does make particle guns less useful as a weapon in real life, but it adds a sense of realism as it's a fantastic tool. And now each weapon is different and has a unique purpose rather than they all just do damage.

The difference between 69° F and 69° C is simply that 69° F is the ideal temperature for most life on earth. 69° C is pretty much death for all but the most extremophile organisms.

So in terms of the big 5 personality traits used in psychology;

X axis: Conscientiousness high-neutral-low

Y axis: Agreeableness high-neutral-low

And thus far it seems similar to a regular alignment chart

Z axis: Neuroticism low-neutral-high

And an interesting additional axis I like

And traits like Openness and Extraversion are reserved as additional characteristics.

The MBTI test is unfortunately not a stable nor consistent test usually and falls into a lot of traps that make it sound convincing. In all reality it's just useful for writer's to get an idea of what their character should generally be.
