Remembering my very affirming Wikipedia user page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Nytpu)
My Wikipedia user page, using the animal Infobox (normally used for notable animals). The title is "nytpu", with the picture being a fruit bat hanging from a tree looking at the camera, captioned "Similar, if smaller, winged creature" The items in the infobox are Species: furred wyvern, Sex: yes please!, Hatched: Eyrie deep in the Rocky Mountains, Occupation: Programmer, Training: None, Predecessor: Smaug, Height: "Human-sized", Awards: World's Flappiest Creature

I imagine bipedal wyverns (that don't walk on their wings) walk much more than birds and especially bats would; but I also imagine that they're still very silly goobers that look a bit ungainly when walking, like this

Like look at the convenient Ada (a few other things that are very inconvenient in Ada though which is why I was evaluating Rust)
Simple enum in Ada, with subtypes defined on ranges of values in the enum so you can easily check if a given enum variant is a member of one of the groups

Grrr Rust I hate you your type system is almost good but you refuse to let user-defined types be first-class, like why should I need to manually write out `Variant1 | Variant 2` for different subsets of the 77 variants I would need

(And see also: forcing the […]

Me making a Rust enum and attempting to see if a given value is within a range of variants of the enum. The range is marked as a syntax error because Rust enums don't support ranges

Hmm, the fix was easy (didn't even have to disassemble the lens) so probably not getting a new one, just this brass pin that fits in the helical groove had come loose. Although this wiper contact thing seems completely fucked and I don't think that's from this […]

Brass pin that fits in a horizontal slot on the zoom ring and goes down to the helical groove inside the lens to move the element in and out to zoom Metal wiper with a number of fingers on it contacting some contacts on the inside of the camera, but the wiper fingers look all mangled

Edited Ctrl+Alt+Del comic. A girl says to a guy “Hey, wat's up”, the guy says “look” with a weird staticy void around one of his hands. The girl says “hand!!”, and the guy responds ”I have to send you to the negative zone because I lost a bet!!!!!!”. In the second panel, the static is around both of the guy's hands and he rambles “Now before you say anything I know you'll want to know the specifics. Basically when I woke up this morning I said ‘I bet I will not have a plate stacked high with sourdough toast with nothing on it,’ yet what did I find myself standing before in the kitchen this morning… after I made it”. The girl starts vaporizing but says “become trapped in a circuit city”, and the guy says “what the fuuuuuuuuuck.” The last two panels are the guy looking depressed in an empty circuit city plastered in “store closing” signs, and the girl is standing in an empty room with all inverted colors. The comic header has been edited to read “Treacle+Tart+Treat by the bitey bite biter, the ‘my freind did this to me twice comic’”

Heavily edited Ctrl+Alt+Del parody comic, with four panels. All panels are of the same scene in a game store. A lady walks up to the main CAD guy behind the counter, saying “do you work here” and he replies “only because I'm in this comic”, and she asks “What's in this box” while holding up a large box. In the second panel the guy grabs the box and crushes it violently with red eyes, while saying “My FUCKING crushing!!” and then a second speech bubble filled with “YEAAAH” in red and overlapping heavily. In the next panel the lady says “that was…awsome” and he replies “thanks” and she says “!!! thanks!!” and he replies “thank you”, and the last panel is just empty with the box sitting on the counter. The top bar of the comic is edited to read “Ctrl+Raaarr!!! by The Dino Saur, T-rex comic!!!”

Osprey

Osprey seen from the back and low down, on a thin branch of a dead tree, with their head slightly visible Same osprey but seen from the side. The sun is backlighting them, and their head shape looks silly and bulbous with their eyes bulging-looking Same as previous picture, but the osprey looking directly at the camera and looking silly The same osprey in the same spot but now seen from a side-front on angle. The osprey is looking at something below and to the side of them

More of the juvenile

#baldeagle #baldeagles #eagle #eagles #bird #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdsofmastodon #naturephotography #photography #photo
Juvenile on the same branch it landed on in the previous post, but from a completely different angle and somewhat closer. They have a very off-white head with a band of brown over their eyes like an osprey, with a dirty white tail and very mottled white on the rest of their body. The adult has an all-brown body with a clean white head and tail like normal. Same as previous picture but in a slightly different pose

Juvenile attacks! About 2.5 years old probably, and presumably related to the adults since they all hung out in the same tree vibing for a good while beforehand (although the juvenile is way to old to still be dependent on their parents so dunno what's going on […]

Adult bald eagle in the same branch as the previous post, just taking off with their wings flapping and their talons just leaving the branch. A juvenile bald eagle is about to land on a branch immediately below where the adult is taking off from. The juvenile has a very off-white head with a band of brown over their eyes like an osprey, with a dirty white tail and very mottled white on the rest of their body. The adult has an all-brown body with a clean white head and tail like normal. After the previous photo, the adult has gained a good amount of height above their branch and the juvenile is just gripping onto their branch with their wings still out Juvenile has fully landed and is pulling their wings in, while the adult is about to go into gliding and is moving further away Adult is losing some altitude and is moving swiftly away, while the juvenile is looking intently at something directly below the tree

Edited Ctrl-Alt-Del comic. All comic panels have a guy and a girl standing in a kitchen background. The first panel has the guy saying “Yo I just invented the square!!!!!!” while holding a square paper in his fingers and holding it up, and the girl responding “PEE”. The following three panels have them standing there, with the guy's eyes roll up into his head, and in the last panel a wet stain appears on his pants by the crotch, while the girl looks at it smiling. The comic title has been changed to read “Call+AAA+Deed by Tim TimTimTimmyTimTim, ‘Shit!! This shits a real mess. Ahhh damn’”

Oh yeah, forgot I did that on my Steam profile XD. I don't even remember how, I think it's just copying the link it redirects to after selecting an intended game, and then changing the app ID to the Steam client's?
