So fucking cool! Still on the ancestry kick and my cuz is showing us a rather freaky thing by animating our long dead peeps. It’s trippy seeing them move/look around/smile.

Geek update: hopefully this is still plenty of time. If your gonna be up before sunrise look east. Jupiter and Mercury will be nose to nose or close together at any rate. I won’t be up then.

Let me know if you catch the view!

On the drive home this evening, saw a guy in a Pickle Rick costume doing the sandwich board advert dance and board flip on the sidewalk in front of a vape/mmj shop. Got me pumped for the weekend. Friday bitches! Pickle Riiiiiiiiick!

What with the country reopening, I did some spending today.

Bought an Xbox series X. There's something about turning on a new console that will never lose its novelty, no matter how old I get.

Also bought a new bike so I don't have to walk to work or use the transit. I'm not sure whether my bike was stolen or I just forgot where I put it during the 2 months work was closed.

I realized today this is probably the first brand new bicycle I've ever owned in my forty years of existence. Every other bike I've had was either bought for me as a kid, a hand me down or a bike I found some where and restored. Never really had the money or the insensitive to buy a new bike, since bike theft is rife in the city.

There's something incredibly novel about owning a brand new, specially built bike though. It's so nice and clean. The paint isn't chipped, no rust, the whole thing doesn't creak when you put weight on the pedals. Feels like luxury.

Visiting my sister in law in St Louis. I can’t ever decide what food to get when I’m here cause there is so many options we don’t have where I live. Couldn’t decide between Vietnamese and Thai.

So I just said F it and ordered both. Got a bowl of Bun and a bowl of Spicy Pad Thai. With extra pork egg rolls.

Is there anything better then the pairing of a perfect cup of coffee and a lemon-centric pastry? Gosh darnit! there's something about that combination that does a tap dance across my brain.

Not sure what to do next, the Empire State Building seems like it would be a boring build by comparison. I want to build the technic excavator but 400 dollars! Tower o foo doom is discontinued.

[Cyphon]

Do the Palace of the Soviets next.

[worry]

Do the Lego My Eggo.

[Briar King]

Yay it’s going to be trippy pic time tomorrow! Going to eye Dr so I plan on snapping em up while my pupils are still saucer size.

Moved into our new house today. Feels like an adult house.

'The World Just Moved Even Closer to a Real, Working Warp Drive

Scientists have a new model for faster-than-light travel that actually uses conventional physics.

[...] After studying existing research on warp drives, Lentz realized there were specific forms of spacetime bubbles that scientists had overlooked. These bubbles took the shape of solitons, or compact waves that maintain their whip while moving at constant velocity. (Think of a single ripple steadily moving across a calm lake.) Lentz rederived Einstein's equations for different soliton configurations until he found one that worked with conventional energy sources and without the need for any exotic matter.

"This work has moved the problem of faster-than-light travel one step away from theoretical research in fundamental physics and closer to engineering," [...]

"The next step is to figure out how to bring down the astronomical amount of energy needed to within the range of today's technologies, such as a large modern nuclear fission power plant. Then we can talk about building the first prototypes."'

Lol I played a bit of a prank on one of these guys working here. I had Netflix playing on my phone watching Fate Winx in English and as soon as he left the room I changed it to Spanish and cranked the volume up and hit play once he was back in room and acted like normal. He paused and looked at me and asked “what happened?” You probably needed to be there but this was hilarious playing out.
