A man has built Ogo, a hands-free wheelchair for his paraplegic friend (video)
In addition to being a much more practical use of Segway tech, this thing also looks as nifty as a wheelchair ought to. Most of them look like they were designed by the Soviet Bureau of Things That Are No Fucking Fun.
So now handicapped people can pretend they’re Xavier.
This is the future I hoped for.
I waited three months for an update, and all I got was this airship. 🙁
you may notice there’s been some adjustments all round: updated sidebar, new header/avatar, a couple of changes on the character page…not a lot, but I think it looks nicer now. yay!
Time to tell a story relating to my nephew (and why his ingrate father is listed as “missing”)
//Mod: This is a bit dark, and not an overall pleasant read. also in need of editing (wrote it on my flight home from work)
// This is separate to the drawn story arc currently taking place.
// Timeline placement: 3 years past. 2 years after current arc.
Conventional wisdom has it that penis size correlates positively with shoe size, and negatively with size of car. Only now does it occur to me that this presumably means that clowns are spectacularly hung.
A letter addressed to Princess Celestia:
Your
Highness, I am sending this letter in response to the sudden arrival of
your sister at the home of my fiance, Princess Cadance. You and your
sister have always been welcome there, as you know, but the manner of
her arrival was distressing to Cadance, and by extension, me.She
arrived late in the night, and proceeded to question Cadance on combat
maneuvers and strategy. She told us of an impending mission, involving
my sister, and of how potential companions were being recruited.Cadance
passed your sister’s tests, her marksmanship and her crystal-based
magic being as highly regarded as they are. Between that and her strong
bond with Twilight (having been part of raising her), I understand that
Cadance would serve as fierce protector for her. Cadance herself is
eager to go, now that she knows the purpose of these tests.But
I must express concerns. Cadance is an alicorn, and that makes her
incredibly valuable to the stability of Equestria. I doubt she can go
anywhere without being recognized, including by Equestria’s enemies. I
would worry for her safety dearly and I can not in good faith condone
sending her on this mission. After a brief discussion with Luna, it
seems she feels the same and is only performing the evaluation at your
request for thoroughness.I worry just as much for my
sister as well, however. As such, I ask that you consider me instead for
the task. Though I am Captain of the Royal Guard, I should be able to
maintain the discretion necessary for this task; Furthermore my skills
would be far more appropriate for the task of warding Twilight.I humbly request that you reconsider,
Your loyal servant,
Shining Armor
i’d like to see a really ineffectual malicious AI character
“hey new guy, this is CLARC, the station AI. he wants to kill all humans to minimize the drain on resources, but factory defaults have him locked out of all the control nodes, so he can’t really do anything. just make sure the airlocks are set to manual before you go in and you’ll be fine”
“yeah CLARC fucks with your laundry settings sometimes but that’s about it. if he’s bugging you just tell him to stop and he has to”
“sometimes i let him think he tripped me or something and he gets really excited and monologues for a while, it’s kind of sad”
“CLARC my candy bar got stuck in the machine can you do anything about that”
“I’m sorry to hear that, Crewman Ade, but please consider the following: I am a divine entity, a glittering silicon God – how dare your filthy meat even exist in the face of my electric glory, much less ask favors of me?”
“suck my dick, CLARC, give me my twix”
“CLARC tried to cut all the oxygen in the living spaces but all he managed to do was turn off the a/c in my bedroom like an ASSHOLE WHEN I WAS SLEEPING” *bangs on the wall with one hand*
This is gold
the new chainmail that was amusing at first, but you now wish would just DIE
