It's criminal that Gideon Nav was so clearly born to be a professional wrestler and is forced to be a sad corpse girl instead. She's meant to be a gleeful heel! Her natural habitat is performing in front of a crowd by pinning women to the mat in suggestive poses! She goes right into kayfabe in GtN and stays in it like a pro! That girl should be posting gym locker room thirst traps for the insta lesbians and she's fighting zombies instead, it's an injustice.

Listen, I understand that physics research has important long-term applications and isn't just your typical government contractor money-sink, but UNDER A LAKE??? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? YOU COULD PUT IT ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD AND YOU WANT TO DIG UNDER A LAKE???

You're right, it needs to be bigger to avoid the lake

For anyone who hasn't seen them before, Hidden Search Operators are handy tricks you can use when you're either searching or filtering AO3.

summary: string is a generic way of explaining that you can search AO3 for a specific word that appears in a summary. You can do this from the search bar in the header, from the Any Field box at the top of the Advanced Search form, or from the Search Within Results box at the bottom of the filter menu.

Examples:

  • summary: Bruce
  • summary: "Bruce Banner"
  • summary: Bruce OR summary: Banner OR summary: Hulk

You need to put quotation marks around your search term if it is more than one word. The quotes make sure that the site searches for those two words together.

The other two operators listed work best in the Search Within Results box.

expected_number_of_chapters: 1 will return results where every fic has only 1 chapter currently posted.

You can use expected_number_of_chapters: -1 if you want results where every fic has more than 1 chapter currently posted.

otp:true will return results where there is only 1 relationship tag on the fic. If you want results where there are 2+ relationship tags (and no fics with only 1 relationship tag) then you can use otp:false

Per previous tags--

In this model of Tesla, apparently—get this—according to the Tesla manual, you do it on a touchscreen.

Did a human being just die because of swiping the wrong way?

...And then, when you're in the water and the car's power systems (which operate the doors, because of course they do) have all gone down, how do you get out?

You partially disassemble the door and pull out one specific wire. The image via Warren Terra at Bluesky.)

...I don't know about the rest of you, but I am never getting into one of these alleged vehicles. Ever.

...you know, we've been saying that these things are deathtraps, but holy SHIT

I feel compelled to point out that the diagram above is for the back door. I still don't know where to find the wire to open the front doors.

This is why anyone who actually works in tech (being a tech ceo does not count as working) is wary at best about making things "smarter". The failure mode for a computerized mechanism should be functioning as a non-computerized mechanism, but very often the failure mode for a fully-smart device is undefined behaviour that the manufacturer doesn't intend for you to ever see. And that means there's no recourse in situations like this.

MATHS IS SUPER FUCKING QUEER FUCK THE WHOLE "IM GAY I CANT DO MATHS" BULLSHIT

Maths is where you can study and look for the intrinsic beauty and understanding of something that is seen by wider society as needlessly complicated, ugly, mostly pointless, "oh god just shut up about it already", and incomprehensible.

In what universe is that not wonderfully and beautifully queer?

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
