QOTD: What car do you want most, but know would be an absolutely miserable experience to own?

I don't have a place to put one and I live in a rain forest. I'm terrified wasps and the places I'd take this to are full of them.
However, bombing down an FSR to a bush party in this would be incredible.

all done. I’m totally windows free now. desktop and laptop on arch, media pc on bazzite and portable gaming on a steam deck.

hope everything goes well for work tomorrow, lol.
yesterday was a success!

*self high five*

took care of all of the go/no-go issues and critical software(vm's and work, design and audio programs.)

today is games, secondary programs and theming. if all goes well I'll be able to wipe my windows drive tonight.
i whisper "this is the year of linux desktop" endlessly while i switch my main pc from windows to arch to prevent myself from fucking something up

Loving this #WIP of a rainbow black hoodie ✨it’s been a pain weaving in the ends but it’s going to be so cool when it’s done

oh hey, it’s been almost a year since I painted minis and i built up the will power to try again. continued work on Clubber Laine from gaz minis

i was going to do yellow boots and started with the requisite pink underlayer but might just stick with that and tone it down a smidge

Visited the Ucluelet aquarium where everything is caught, visits the aquarium which is pumped with water directly from the harbour, and released within nine months back to where it was caught from. They release more creatures than they catch because sea life comes in through the pipes and stays.

A good portion of the queer folks I’ve interviewed for my thesis cry in pride, excitement, or other positively affiliated emotions and I think that’s gotta be its own finding right there. Our stories and experiences matter.

there’s something about the first time in the (pre)fall when the moisture in the air feels cold that is just sensory bliss for me

every few days a little colder and darker . when you can go outside on a clear night and just feel your heat leach off into the void

the other beaks has been built. this thing has me fucking giddy. i really wish i had gotten into diy modular ages ago, this scratches every hobby and music related itch i had for years.

So many gleeful self high fives were given tonight

getting this together has made me so damn happy. i now have a generative drum synth where I built every piece in the signal chain myself. serious unbridle joy at this and i still have another module to add in.
