"Rent should be no more than 30% of household income" is a really funny and roundabout way to say "property owners as a class are entitled to 30% of gross wages"

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1

The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.

So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.

So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.

Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.

And the probe is working again.

From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

Friends at the Table is so good.

Trying to use an in-game ability that allows a player character to impact or influence others by using their true name, players get tangled up in a lengthy discussion of what a true name even is, especially in the context of Twilight Mirage’s complex worldbuilding regarding names, ranks and titles, and Austin suddenly goes:

“Maybe we should think about “true’ in a non-exclusive sense. Which is to say, my true name is– is Austin Walker. My true name is also when my dad picked me up and threw me in the air and said, “My boy!” That’s a true name for me.”

Holy shit. This is a guy who understands magic. Now I know what some of my true names are, and understand how they could be used to devastate me.
