A visit to Epictale

Did this on a whim, just exploring how I think Epictale would look like, how the universe is like generally

Still feel betrayed over nuclear waste being a yellow powder and not a green liquid. Nuclear waste barrels, as far as I can tell, actually do look like that, but they’re like 90% full of concrete to block the radiation and contain very little actual waste each. All of science fiction has lied to us. I don’t think “green goo” style radioactive waste material is even a real thing. Which makes sense when you think about it, since most “unspent” nuclear material is either stone or a metal, so why tf would it “melt” when spent?

Funnily, I think The Simpsons may be to blame for this, and has thus affected the portrayal of nuclear waste in many much more serious pieces of media. I kind of want to know where The Simpsons itself even got the idea from, because as far as I can tell, the “glowing green ooze” idea is just a complete fabrication.

Sam Vimes deserves to have a blog. That man spends every second of every day thinking. He has Opinions. His inner monologue is a treat. No no, let him cook. Let him speak

my headcanon is actually that most people with super speed would actually be really bad with technology as it would just be to slow for them. like they would be the person spam pressing stuff when it does not immediately load. they'd also really hate playing sonic the hedgehog because they'd think sonic was too slow.

The Therapist

There's a new therapist at school.

Normally this wouldn't really bother Peter at all, since he's never gone to see a shrink in his life and doesn't ever plan on it, but there's something... off about this woman.

She seems unassuming enough at first glance. Red hair, green eyes, bright red lipstick. But there is something in her eyes, something that Peter can only describe as a predator looking at its next prey, when she looks around the school at all of the teenagers milling about. Heck, even the way she walks makes her seem as if she is a predator stalking her prey.

It could always be some kind of power move, Peter reasons. He's met people like that before, who try to intimidate everyone around them into thinking that they are superior, that they are the apex predator and anyone who dares to cross them would pay for it dearly.

But his Spidey Sense went crazy around her.

He tries to brush it off as paranoia. He'd pulled an all-nighter last night in the lab with Tony because neither of them had been able to sleep, and he hadn't been sleeping well even before that. (Funny, how it had all started the night after he first bumped into the new therapist in the halls.) So his Spidey Sense is probably out of wack because he's tired. Simple as that.

But it seems like everyone in the school is depressed. Even Ned, who can't even muster up the energy and enthusiasm to talk about Legos or Star Wars or even the weather. It worries Peter.

Because it all started when that therapist came to the school.

He can't ignore it forever, he knows that. There is only so long his Spidey Sense can tell him that she is danger danger danger before he finally listens. He has to do something to help everyone.

So he researches.

And he falls into the rabbit hole of ghosts and ectoplasm and secret government organizations and the little, unassuming town of Amity Park, Illinois.

He doesn't sleep that night.

When he comes to school the next morning, Dr. Penelope Spectra looks him dead in the eyes, and smiles.

"Now, tell me what's going on between you and that subtenant of yours, hm?" "Miranda! it's nothing, really! He's just... well he's a nice guy! He could be my son, so I'd never- besides I'd feel weird dating someone who makes his money playing video games." "Oh please, he's barely making any money, he's got only 10 Twitch subscribers!"

Prompt 166

So Danny is going to blame this on Vlad. Everything was going great, his parents had accepted him, Ellie is home for a while as was Jazz, Vlad was going to ghost-therapy along with Jordan to both get over apparently very bad obsession-sickness, and it was finally summer break! Which meant camping, and no ghost stuff for the first time in forever. 

He should have known everything was going too well, because that’s just the Fenton luck isn’t it? So he was going to blame this entire thing on Vlad, even if it might maybe be his own fault just a little bit. But how was he supposed to know the glowing rock formation that looked sort of like a portal was actually going to do something?! 

Urgh, he’s not going to deal with dimension travel, he already has to deal with time bullshit thanks to his peepaw! At least they’re all in this together and haven’t gotten separated? Ugh. This is going to be annoying.

good commentary on the crowdstrike incident

Yes, this is good technical commentary. It's noticeable that different companies have had very different levels of difficulty managing the incident and preparation will certainly have played a role, along with the timing and the number and distribution of systems.

For the less technical (because I've noticed some confused reblogs): Crowdstrike is an enterprise-level, i.e. for large organisations managing many computer systems, set of antivirus tools. It is very good - this is why many, many large organisations with high security needs (such as banks and airlines) use it. Since it defends against malware and viruses, its tools are constantly receiving automatic updates.

About eighteen hours ago, one of those automatic updates accidentally blue-screened Windows machines and servers worldwide that had one particular Crowdstrike tool installed. This was quickly deemed to be fixable without too much hassle, except for one really major issue: individual systems need someone with technical expertise to start them up *directly, in person* in order to be fixed. Imagine you're an airline with computers at every airport. A bank with ATMs nationwide. A retail chain with computers in every store...

Anyway, this is going to take some organisations a while to fix. It is extremely, extremely fixable! But it's gonna take a minute. And some of the orgs not directly affected are reliant on other ones which are. So yeah, soz to IT teams everywhere about their weekend.

So we all know Tucker's like in love with his PDA and technology, right?

And if you have a concussion (which is very likely given how they get flung around fighting ghosts), you're not supposed to do screens for 48 hours.

I think we all know where this is going

Tucker gets a concussion, and has to be restrained from his tech for 2 days until he recovers. Tucker is against this, claiming he's fine. Sam, Danny, and Jazz have to hide all the tech from him and somehow he just keeps pulling out more.

Discuss.
