@Heliograph

I've had the perfect domain name for almost a year now, but I can't find the right blogging platform, or discover if it's worth the faff to get it all set up.

@Heliograph@mastodon.au I have a domain name zho.pa (kinda like if there was a domain name assho.le, but in Russian) and unfortunately its about 200 bucks a year

@Heliograph@mastodon.au I got rid of a domain that has been snapped up.
I sort of wish I had kept it, but it's throwing money away for no reason really

@Heliograph okay but prisms are akshually cruel and unusual punishment for light. Prisms break down an otherwise holistically healthy beam of light, break it down so hard it's fractured -- fractured! -- into all the delicate components of itself, forever changed by the ordeal.

I say ABOLISH PRISMS!!

edit: this is ignoring the horrific effects of dihidrogen-oxide -- which is EVERYWHERE -- on innocent photons

good morning mousetodonians :ablobwavereverse: :ablobcatcoffee: lets just assume something better will come from this #tuesday 🐭🖱️

Mikey Heller TIMETRABBLE.COM four panel cartoon titled "Mouse trap" of two people, one holding a miniature office cubicle saying "I got this mousetrap." the other "How's it work?" P1: "The mouse works in this cubicle assuming something better will come next but then 30 years go by." puts it on the ground and a mouse runs in. P1+P2: "Look it's working" "Woah!" "It's already googling high school classmates." "This is cruel."

@Heliograph reminds of the inflation issue.
RBA: you’re all spending too much.
US: Yeah, but it’s just on groceries and electricity.
RBA: well, I’m stumped.

@Heliograph Would be amusing to start the rumor that the arrangement of letters in that box was chosen to prevent typesetters from colliding with each other reaching for adjacent letters and getting stuck

@Heliograph My 1960’s high school required boys to take shop (girls took home ec) including a term of print shop. The first week included memorizing the lower case layout. Later we locked a page, inked the platen, and printed.

good morning to #caturday dear curious creatures :ablobwave: :blobcat_0w0: :BigBlobhajHug:

Four panel Nathan P Wyle cartoon of two aliens in an inner city apartment and their cat sitting in a box and the aliens saying "It has freedom to explore this entire space. Yet prefers the confines of a tiny box. Inexplicable. What a curious creature"

👀 #TIL Monopoly wasn't invented by the Parker Brothers, nor the man they gave it credit for. In 1904, Monopoly was originally called The Landlord's Game, and was invented by a radical woman. Elizabeth Magie's original game had not one, but two sets of rules to choose from.
One was called "Prosperity", where every player won money anytime another gained a property. And the game was won by everyone playing only when the person with the least doubled their resources. A game of collaboration and social good.
The second set of rules was called "Monopoly", where players succeeded by taking properties and rent from those with less luck rolling the dice. The winner was the person who used their power to eliminate everyone else.
Magie's mission was to teach us how different we feel when playing Prosperity vs Monopoly, hoping that it would one day change national policies.
When the Parker Bros adopted the game, they erased the "Prosperity" rules and celebrated "Monopoly".

@Heliograph I can't believe this being true and we all only played monopoly all the time, when there would've been a prosperity version.
