Brevity is the essence of a good handle @svunt.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I've been walking to the train station for work for six years - I walk fast, it takes me 6 minutes. I've had an Android phone on me, connected to my google account with location tracking turned on for 14 years, and google maps still tells me that the walk to the station will take me 10 minutes. 110

Brevity is the essence of a good handle @svunt.bsky.social · 09/10/2026When I was maybe 12 and my dad was berating me for something I said something to the effect of "I'm comprised entirely of your DNA and your parenting, so file your complaint internally" and then spent several days contemplating what that meant. 6 years later I enrolled in neuroscience and philosophy 010
Brevity is the essence of a good handle @svunt.bsky.social · 09/10/2026A year of undergrad neuroscience and you'll reevaluate the possible range to 90-100%. I did the whole degree and "free will is fiction" was one of the biggest takeaways. 010

Brevity is the essence of a good handle @svunt.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I was thinking pretty much the same thing yesterday while getting some help adjusting a model - the maker community generally and 3d printing people specifically bring all the good vibes of the old 'net - tons of talent, giving away expertise for the love of the game. It's beautiful. 020
Brevity is the essence of a good handle @svunt.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I make decent money in theory but it feels like every raise, promotion & bonus I've had in the last 20 years have all gone to retailers, landlords & banks. In theory I'm supposed to get richer as I move up the ranks but in practice it seems I'm just funding yachts for a bunch of pricks. 030
Brevity is the essence of a good handle @svunt.bsky.social · 08/10/2026My lease renews in August so for 3 years running I've been given a raise on July 1, then my landlord takes the entire raise away on August 3rd. Three fucking years of smashing it professionally and I've still got the same amount left over after rent...at 4% inflation I'm going backwards every year. 150

Brevity is the essence of a good handle @svunt.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I've saved that post so I can use it to convince my kids to pursue whatever they're fascinated by, because the potential rewards are experiences like this, which are far more enticing than "bank account big" 010
Brevity is the essence of a good handle @svunt.bsky.social · 02/10/2026It's hard to fathom just how fucking easy we have it with clothing. Insane material & labour costs to dress a human until a few decades ago. In the 1950s, clothing expenses averaged 16% of total budget for households in the west (I might be pushing that myself but I'm a dandy with a problem) 010

Brevity is the essence of a good handle @svunt.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I can remember trying over a hundred times to get a screw into a machine I was building. Every time the screw would fall off the magnetic driver and land inside where I had to retrieve it with a flexible grabber.
