  7. Old public relations photos are STRANGE. This one from General Electric in the early 60s shows a woman having her dress zipped (or is it UNZIPPED?) by MOBOT, not a true robot, but a remotely operated manipulator system. What's happening here? The first cybersex? Employee harassment? Or a robot cosplay of the infamous Hattie McDaniel corset scene in GONE WITH THE WIND? SO MANY QUESTIONS!

  10. Prepping for session tomorrow and I honestly have no idea what to expect. The party has fought their way into the underground lair of a criminal gang and is about to confront the boss about something *they* stole from *him* that he actually stole from the king. But I legit have no idea what they are thinking is going to happen and what they hope to get out of it.

  13. I saw what might be the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen.

    It was during this morning’s drive in to work.

    It was a Tesla cybertruck. It was not silver/chrome colored like all of the uggo’s I had seen before. It was worse. It was this awful orange/rust/blood filled vomit color. It was heinous.

    At first I wished I could have grabbed a photo of it (I was driving and couldn’t pull it off safely) but now? Now I’m glad that I can spare you the horror of its grossness.

    You’re welcome, but also… it’s still out there. The ugliest thing on Earth.

    Beware.

  16. I'm sorry, but Markup's syntax for numbered lists is FECKING TERRIBLE.

    It simply should not happen that I can type something like:

    4. (item four)
    5. (item five)

    ...and get this:

    1. (item four)
    2. (item five)

  24. This is my nomination for the most useless dashboard dial ever. It is a read out in hours and minutes (currently 2:44) of how much time you've been driving with the convertible top down, lifetime. It rolls over at 7 hours.

    1) why would you care?
    2) after 7 hours, there's virtually no information here
    3) the same info is available on the electronic panel, without the rollover problem.
    4) this has to be the most arcane way of representing a time span

  28. And then, continuing with the #fashionPlates, there was this one:

    libmma.contentdm.oclc.org/digi…

    (which depicts another early #1890s dress with a plain skirt and waist with the expected huge sleeves in salmon, with just a bit of lace details. And then there is a sort of black swiss waist with gravity defying tabs that reach up towards the bust and ribbons with a dovetail end that go down to mid-tight, plus some black wings? on the shoulders.)

  31. Operation “Try and tidy up the MIM Telecaster that someone ill-advisedly attempted to relic even though it clearly has a modern polyester/polyurethane coating, still it was cheap so I certainly can’t complain” has begun.

    Hmm… I should probably do some work on the verbosity of my operation names. 🤔
