Trix @trixtah.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Oh and here's the Nebula link for the medieval zombie LARPing - it'll undoubtedly show up on her YT channel sooner or later nebula.tv/videos/berna...nebula.tvBernadette Banner — I accidentally joined an undead army at the world’s biggest LARP (ConQuest of Mythodea)my first LARPing experience at ConQuest of Mythodea went a little harder than originally planned. 000
Trix @trixtah.bsky.social · 26/09/2026* OK, I think she's super cute too, but the woman has skills and enthusiasm, and I respect the craft. Also, she helped me to appreciate the art and craft in fashion and costuming, which also helped me appreciate my last ex (who also excels at art and craft) in time for us to get together. 101
Trix @trixtah.bsky.social · 26/09/2026So I've followed @bernadettebanner.bsky.social for 100 gazilion years off and on bc I love her charm and nerdiness re the ways of fashion*.

Trix @trixtah.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Yup, definitely basic operant behaviour, but even a little more precision re what they want is interesting. (Sudden flashback to experienced teen babysitter me explaining to first-time parents their 1-yr-old is screaming like that bc he's *tired*) 000
Trix @trixtah.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Apparently there are some mega-communicator pets who manage to chain together some pretty sophisticated utterances, alongside many more apparently relishing a bunch of additional labels for "things". "Gimme meat treat" vs "ball" is pretty cool. 000
Trix @trixtah.bsky.social · 26/09/2026There are the "button-press" gadgets used by some pets, but their best use is by pets who can use the audio cues to go "Oi! Human!" when said humans are too clueless to pick up the subtler aspects of their gestural language: archive.ph/oG8KS (WashPo summary). Not so great for orders the other way 200

Trix @trixtah.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Nah, only arsekissers would turn up to that kind of BS anyway. Or people too chicken to be perceived as "sending a message" (who's going to ask when the fucker is gone?) If it's during work time, work. If it's after hours, you have important personal things to do, like buying toilet paper. 010
Trix @trixtah.bsky.social · 15/09/2026"An absolute pleasure" does not do justice to your charming presence. And each one of those items is fabulous - good taste all round! 110
Trix @trixtah.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Ppl I know who swear by them say that the plug-in kind (from known brands) are more solidly built and last forever. Much more powerful buzz than any rechargeable (altho the latter continue to improve). One "classic" plug-in for the toolkit might be good for backup and/or extra/long-lasting power? 120
Trix @trixtah.bsky.social · 13/09/2026My vote is "both" - like tools of the trade for pros in general. Woodworkers use battery-powered tools for portability/flexibility, but plug-in can't be beaten for power + reliability. Same for vibes. Rechargeable is great, but powered are *strong* and can def save the day from tired batteries 110
Trix @trixtah.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Exactly. Sometimes there's shit you don't realise you are INTO until you see it or hear about it from someone who describes it in a way that appeals to you (*puts hand up for being nearly 40 when it finally happened) 010

Trix @trixtah.bsky.social · 06/09/2026SDx never visited aunt except when she moved into nursing home at age 80 a year ago - FOR the will chat. 🤯 Aunt has her own adult Dx and two grandkids. My mum and I are like, "THEY come first, ffs". Anyway, good luck to your relatives once you start treating them according to their ACTUAL merits. 000
Trix @trixtah.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Reminds me of a sitch in my fam. Eldest aunt has two (averagely attractive) step daughters. They never lived as a fam; their dad passed away 10+ years ago after 20+ years w my aunt. 50% of his assets willed to SDx, rest to aunt (his *wife*). SDx recently "asked" if aunt has them in HER will. WTAF 110
Trix @trixtah.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Dude reading from phone: This was restaurant of the year two years running from 201x. Oh, you'll hate this, this was a wine bar... Her: But I *love* wine bars!

Trix @trixtah.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Cishet (presumably) date next to me, chat scores™: Him: 6.5/10 Her: 7.5/10* * Scores adjusted for content to verbiage. Dude actually has decent chat, but he has yapped on approx 4x as much as she has. She has made 2x (at least 4) jokes to his. 100
Trix @trixtah.bsky.social · 05/09/2026What I liked? Cast, other than AS - great. (AS's acting is OK, he obv loves the char - but just no). Production design, awesome. Throuple jokes, entertaining at times (but drag on). Sanctuary Moon stuff - love it. Guarathin's backstory - only addition that was worthwhile. More ppl reading the books. 000
Trix @trixtah.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Finally finished S1 of the #Murderbot show, and honestly, I'm still disappointed. TBH, Skarsgard never got me to the WOSD point. The Preservation Aux crew continued with the TSTL vibe. Story changes seemed pointless. Character changes f-ing annoying. Last ep w MB's "wipe" - WTAF. 100
Trix @trixtah.bsky.social · 05/09/2026First New Year's that I lived in Australia, it was 42 deg and I drove a 1970's classic car (no aircon lol) to friends an hour away in the dry countryside. With windows up, I nearly expired in the oven-like heat. Windows down, at 110 km/h, like being in the blast of a 777 jet's exhaust. Never again 🥵 010

Trix @trixtah.bsky.social · 10/07/2026BTW, not a critique of @joshtaylor.bsky.social - his writing covers the technical aspects well, thus highlighting this aspect to someone who is v likely to get it. Haven't yet seen anyone else specifically questioning Telstra on whether there was ONLY one GNSS source for the network. 100
Trix @trixtah.bsky.social · 10/07/2026@joshtaylor.bsky.social - re Telstra, no journos have stated the NTP standard mandates minimum of 3 stratum 0 time sources. Per quotes, Telstra implies there was only one? NTP is *very* resilient IF it's configured correctly. Obv investigation underway, but Telstra quotes imply it wasn't correct? 100
Trix @trixtah.bsky.social · 08/07/2026It's national infrastructure! David L. Mills only passed away a couple of years ago - he must be rolling in his grave. Well, if it's true there was only one stratum zero system, HEADS will be rolling very soon (deservedly so, frankly; I would just quit if I were responsible). 000
Trix @trixtah.bsky.social · 08/07/2026How tf does Telstra have just one (1) GNSS "node" acting as their strata 0 NTP (time) source? The NTP standard requires three (or more) sources to compute the reference time via various calculations. www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc5905.... I insist on three for our semi-govvie environment! 110

I might also zest about 1/4 of a bazillion of said lemons and freeze that too. 000
