hey for no reason. if Raven was a car,, what type and colour of car do you think she would be…?
I had to delete a whole paragraph cuz in the midst of my delusions I thought you were asking what kind of car she would be (my answer was Aston Martin DB5 - dont judge I really love that car since I was a kid okay and I think she'll look cool as hell as one - and Porsche 914/6 shade 1110)
The simplest answers are black, silver and dark blue
I love really shiny coatings BUT personally I think for Raven her coating might lean more towards matte finish (look up satin black cellulose paint)
There are wayyyyy too many silver shade out there but lemme tell ya nothing beats a good ol bright silver metallic paint, I don't think the ones that are leaning towards pearl shades would suit her (slightly yellowish - look up Malaysia's Civic and BR-V in Platinum White Pearl Colour)
This one is oddly specific (and can you imagine I know this brand bcuz years ago Jeffrey Star's car paint job used one of these brands) but like cyborg blue or blue demon looks so hot (yay sparkles!!)
If we wanna talk about sparkles and fancy schmancy (but less durability) stuff it'd be vinyl wrap....like the gradients one ooooooo I think Raven would look so good with purple to blue matte kind OR OR the black to blue on the hood...
#anon u activated my monkey brain#its like a niche topic im too excited for esp considering idk anything about cars#i just like them based on vibes and builds (and by builds i dont mean horse engines and shit i mean by how the car look)#sometimes i go into the rabbit hole of like car vinyl/metallic flake instalment videos...bcuz its so satisfying#the issue with vinyl wrap is half the ones you see looks really cool on photo but kinda embarassing irl#idk why HAHA maybe cuz it's very...whats the word? like i guess cuz i only ever see those really extravagant bright colors ones on +#cars own by rich spoiled kids - so i associate negativity to it - but i gotto respect the ones who install them those look difficult#i think really tho Raven is either a black/silver (the lowkey vibes) or sparkly gradient (the confident vibes)#im a big fan of porsche bugatti and jaguar cars#all of which will remain as a daydream bcuz even if i sell off my house and use my student loans i cant buy the ones that I like#which are classic ones#god Jaguar supercar 1970 IS SO HOT imma- *faint*#I have a thing for round rimmed head lights#frankly this car hobby thing is bcuz of my dad cuz he used to have so many antique cars MAGAZINE (not cars cuz we broke here) around#and baby gomz loved reading them#still do#idk i can afford renting cool cars so I could do that in the future LMAO#you can watch me project this into NikRaven or PriceRaven sugar au#ask response#gomz niche rambles#which is surprisingly. cars.#[oc]Raven#cod oc#my oc

i saw a tiktok a couple of days ago where someone was talking about using tiktok as a search engine and i commented smth like "why on earth are u using tiktok as a search engine?" and now a bunch of ppl are telling me that it works better than google??? like pls dont me wrong google isn't what it used to be but you have got to be fucking insane if u are willingly searching for information on the consumerist propaganda app and then gaslighting me about the effectiveness
#that is like the same kind of stupidity as when ppl use chatgbt as a search engine#like OMG ANYTHING THAT APP IS SHOWING IS EITHER TO GET U TO BUY SMTH IR TO FURTHER RADICALIZE YOU#am i the only one who sees a problem w that??#txt#🐀

why do u have acookie clicker spreadhsoot
so i can determine the optimum purchases in cookie clicker
#mewtuals#currently the answer is always fractal engine#but the % total CpS is useful for determining if i should buy buildings or upgrades#also i keep track of how many juicies duketakers and shriekbulbs i get per queenbeet array

unfortunately, the right one looks better
i hate when a commodity constructed of quality materials and meticulously assembled bears a price that reflects its means of production
#anonymous#i only buy things used tho#the sport coat on the right is from a company called Engineered garments so brand new it probably retailed for $300-$400+

finally had to bite the bullet and buy a new laptop since my old one is Literally just hanging on by a single hinge and a hope and it's SUCH a paaain setting up and transferring all my shit to the new one ���
#especially since i only have like a dinky little usb drive with like No Space to do the transferring#anyways yeah my old laptop is Completely busted#for one like 80% of the keyboard keys doesn't work and i've had to use a usb keyboard for like 6 years#which is a pain every time i actually need to bring my laptop anywhere#which was a lot seeing as i was in uni lol#the speakers crackles so i Have to use headphones if i wanna watch something and not feel like dying over the audio quality#a corner of the screen is cracked#the fans sounds like a jet engine#oh and as mentioned the screen is literally only hanging on by a Single Hinge :'^)#the worst part is that it was Really Expensive cause i was like im gonna splurge on something more costly#so that i can use it for for years and years and then it started being fucked up just like only a couple of Months after i got it 😭😭😭#like i bought it february of like? 2018??19??? so i've still gotten some use out of it but it has honestly Sucked the Whole Time#ANYWAYS anyways it was now at a point where i was actively fearing for it crashing and burning just by looking at it wrong#so since it's my birthday (tomorrow!) i decided to buy myself a new one as a birthday present ^^#hashtag i am now financially ruined tihi#does fish make noise??

people buying vintage electrical test equipment and using it as synthesizers is one of the most annoying and cringe trends in recent memory. Fuck Heinbach.
#like folks you are not getting some unique and characterful filter or oscillator when you buy this stuff.#you are buying something that is carefully engineered to only generate the cleanest and least interesting signals possible.#the reasons you can hear them as ''warm'' ''musical'' etc is because you're a sucker#and are deeply prone to influencers who don't know what they're talking about.#the only things you're doing are making it more difficult for yourself to make music#and making it more difficult for people who have actual admiration and use cases for these devices to acquire them. fuck off.

PLEASE can u tell us more about sugar daddy Octavius
we were basically talking about the fact that octavius has so much money and nothing to do with it and gift giving is his main love language so he starts spoiling the shit out of jed and buying him whatever he wants like it’s nothing. more of my sugar daddy octavius thoughts include:
• octavius buying all of jed’s sisters plane tickets to come and visit
• him casually giving jed his credit card when jed wants to go out to a bar or club with his friends (plus all of jed’s friends seeing him pay for drinks with his boyfriend’s card and teasing him about accidentally snagging a sugar daddy)
• octavius buying jed a literal bmw for his birthday one time because it’s jed’s favourite car and he’s never been able to afford a car before. octavius is at the car dealership like ‘are you sure this is the newest model you have. does it have cupholders. i will put you in the ground if it is not running perfectly now take my money’. then on jed’s birthday he’s like ‘your present is in the driveway go and have fun’ like it’s the most casual thing in the world
• when jed wants something more expensive like a new guitar or a tattoo and he can technically afford it with his wages but he’s worried about spending that amount of money all in one go octavius is like. shut up and take my money
• also octavius giving jed money so he can get rid of all the clothes he has that he gets overstimulated by but couldn’t afford to replace
• if jed is having a rough week or going through one of his phases where he’s super stressed and overwhelmed octavius will pay for him to go and do anything he likes to cheer him up and usually buys him a nice dinner from somewhere fancy too
• jed is not materialistic At All and literally never asks octavius for anything but he ends up getting spoiled anyway because octavius makes up the stupidest excuses to buy him shit. jed will pick up something really random and stupid in a shop and octavius is like ‘don’t be silly you do not need that put it back. ok FINE if you insist. god. here’s my credit card’ even though jed didn’t open his mouth
#jed’s not like. poor#engineers usually get paid a decent amount#but living in london is Expensive and jed is bad with money#and he stresses a lot because he’s used to struggling to pay rent and bills etc#it’s just SO draining being so conscious about money for so long yknow. jed deserves to get spoiled#octavius has a good solid pay check and a pension and enough money to retire whenever he wants#he might as well spend a little bit on his sexy beautiful husband#they probably have a few disagreements in the beginning because jed feels bad and octavius doesn’t understand why#because octavius has never wanted for anything monetarily in his life. he doesn’t know that feeling of being a charity case#he’s like i’m giving you money. for free. because i want to. why is that bad#and jed is like chomping at the walls like can you stop being so painfully middle class for two seconds#but once octavius explains that it’s kind of his way of saying i love you#and promises to always ask jed first before he buys him anything beyond birthday presents etc jed is like……#so be it. and everyone has a lovely time about it#down then left

my dad spent all this time and energy and money into trying to fix our washer only for him to give up and decide to buy a new one
#i literally told him from the beginning that it would be easier and cheaper to just buy a new one but he has to use his engineering degree#for something 🙄#couldnt wash my clothes for 2 weeks bc of him -_-#vinnie talks

Calcium sulphur batteries (uwu)
Okay, so, i've become interested in z-pinch studies for aerospace purposes (i'm really excited about the prospects, everything works on paper, but i naturally want to actually witness p+N14 fusion for above 0.01% of available protons before i go trying to get the materials to build a real liquid fueled SSTO fusion rocket, especially since there are thousands of folks way smarter than me who have presumably thought of this before and we don't have it yet, so yeah). Anyways, if i want the extremely large electricity input without making my electricity bill higher than a whole month's rent and getting my roommates mad at me, i'll need to collect solar or wind in a battery bank. Since lithium batteries are just about all immoral and expensive (yes i am writing this on a device powered by lithium batteries, it would be lovely if capitalists would take a hint and switch to things that just objectively perform better and are cheaper, but whatever), i figured this would be a nice excuse to experiment around with some new battery designs. Since all of them will require sulphur, i won't be able to really get into it before mid may due to some concerns about the smell and risks of getting sulphur powder everywhere (it's very yellow and hard to clean out), but i felt i might as well share my preliminary ideas. First off, in order to make the organic sulphur polymer, i'm looking to explore mostly citrate based polymers, perhaps with phenylalanine mixed in in order to both give more bulk as well as providing nitrogens for sulphenamides to form. Since i'll need urea later, i was also considering partially polymerizing urea with citric acid and adding that into the molten sulphur mix, but i'm less confident in the stability of that and a bit concerned about the potential noxious fumes produced. Regardless, that's the short of the sulphur cathode, details will definitely change after i refind that paper which went over a great way of preventing insoluble polysulphide production. I'm also gonna experiment with anode material and even the ions i use. I know i said "calcium sulphur batteries" in the title, but due to how common aluminium is and how much easier magnesium is to work with (and the fact that their specific energies are higher), i'll also be considering those two. Even beyond that, there are so many potential anode materials, including even amorphous carbon and carbon nitrides which i'd love to test since there's just so much to improve on and i'd rather do a lot of experiments with cheap to make materials and potentially land on a great solution than accept something subpar because it took less effort. Anyways, of the materials i plan on using, there's magnesium sulphate, aluminium sulphate, calcium chloride, potentially other calcium salts (is the salt with taurine soluble in water? IDK, can't find an answer so i'll test it), charcoal, vegetable oil, urea, and phenylalanine. Those may seem like an unrelated hodgepodge of compounds, but they've been chosen because they're what i have/will soon have and they're also all extremely cheap. If the urea works out well in the battery, i may have to make this project a meme and attempt to make a z-pinch device with as much urine as possible (use it to make ammonia for the plasma, to make the batteries, and i'm sure there's some way to use urine in a capacitor (maybe just distilling off the water to use as a dielectric? idk, it's been a while since i tried making a capacitor)).
Anyway, i really didn't expect this long trainwreck of a post to end with discussions of urine, but what can you do? This is all probably nonsensical, even by my standards, but basically i want batteries and i think i can make them cheaper per megajoule of stored energy than the ones i could buy, even accounting for the inevitable failed experiments.
#utter nonsense#chemistry?#batteries#calcium sulphur batteries are cool i guess#z-pinch shit#almost certainly the beginning of a ton of failures#fortunately i should be able to afford all the chemicals with less than 1 month of income (after rent and utilities and whatnot)#sulphur is so cheap#so am i lol#idk if i want to attempt to make my own solar or wind farm or just buy some turbines or solar cells#turbines are pretty easy so i might build some myself#magnets are relatively cheap and i can use them for other things#and if you know where to look (trashcans behind the college) wire is free#and to make the turbine blades i can just take some sheet metal from the same dumpsters as the wire#alternatively i could just try charging the batteries during off-hours when electricity is super cheap#or making a simple biofuel engine#i should also look into making the capacitors#good bye!

WHAT ARE THESE THINGS CALLED
If anyone knows please tell me google is useless ToT.
#I've tried literally every iteration I could find but all Google does is recommended me hair beads to buy for 48.99 🙄#Please just tell me what they're called Wikipedia and youtube didn't have anything either#I'm so annoyed I just want to know what they're called!! Don't sell me necklaces and earrings!#HAIR CUFFS?? ARE THEY HAIR CUFFS OR NOT GOOGLE O MIGHTY WORLD'S BIGGEST SEARCH ENGINE#Every day I get closer to using Firefox#If I could just find one. ONE picture of someone's hair with a little pendant dangling on the end I'd be happy#I KNOW they exist#Aaaaa#totk#Loz#botw

obsessed with the implications of this tag I just saw...
#ik academics in general are seen as being very 'boring'/'uptight' which is almost never true but like#most scientists are extremely passionate about their work! that's why we do it! people buy clothes themed for their specialities#my dad brought us pipettes and test tubes home from work as toys and we had scientific posters all through the house#including one in my room that showed some of the proteins in the human body that he helped discover#the only boring scientists are the ones who went into like engineering/cs (which i would argue are maths) for money instead of joy

Manifesting: plz make me actually get a new job once my wife goes on disability
I'm looking at research lab management jobs at universities because our bat lab was not run well (lol) and other labs were not run well, and I can keep an entire small business afloat through overworking myself
#totes bro#i do not have a masters#but what i do have is years of experience purchasing industrial goods selling industrial goods speccing out and designing them#and i can do literally any job in an organization EXCEPT closing the books at the end of the month lol I'm not doing that#but i can do accounts payable and accounts receiable i can arrange logistics i supervise a production team#i used to do sales calls i do all purchasing i unwillingly do business development because my boss asks me what we should do as a company#i schedule I have figured out how to use our ERP system more efficiently than many larger companies with it#and most importantly: i clean things#which no one else ever does#this is me just pumping myself up in 3 months i can leave.....#ill have to move? which im terrified of#i love using my blog for this kind of post because 4 years from now im going to be like “aweeee”#oh i also do engineering and the sales engineer doesnt do engineering so i literally do all engineering outside of product design#while doing everything else#But i dont have a masters degree so we'll see what happens#i also think universities hire from within for this type of thing#but i personally think they should hire me 🥰#Because university labs are like fish out of water when they try to buy components to enact their ideas#i know because in addition to bat lab i have many university customers who have no idea whats happening or how to submit POs#my lab literally did not know how to send out RFQs? or ask for quotes? people do free engineering for you to sell you stuff#we were an engineering lab and didnt send out RFQs for components we just looked at ehat was available to buy online#??????? i dont know how they survive

i cant believe the day but i finally got a full tower pc. bought it already built and at a considerable discount of some 320 dollars off. its fucking huge and theres so many things going on inside... i was initially planning on choosing the parts myself but finding the graphics card was so hard and everyone else convinced me to just buy it built and honestly? good. id probably have fucked this up so badly by myself
i cant use it yet bc i took too long to buy the monitor that was also on sale and now its regular price -_- tho i managed to find a discount used one for now. well see how that goes since ill get it tomorrow. i tested it on out living room tv and it had some kaspersky thingy open and like thats so cute. i hope they left some treats in the browsing history for me to search through before i wipe it clean
#its a hexer case and wouldnt you guess the front has a hexagonal pattern. so pretty..#it came with 3 fans installed there too that have a cmyk color style to them and it looks quite neat. im thinking of buying some leds to pu#inside the case to go with my keyboard tho idk if id go that far tbh (< gamer rot is setting in. im not immune to pretty lighting..)#its also got a lot of unused space inside. im thinking of making more sculptures to put in. though idk if thatd be safe for it#bc cold porcelain is glue and water. what if it evaporates inside and suddenly everythings covered in a glue film#i wonder if varnish would help? the transparent nail polish sure didnt do shit it came off like 2 days after sculpting the rw slug sleeping#which like yeah of course. its nail polish. but i didnt expect it to flake since all it does is sleep on top of my laptop keyboard#i need miniature glass cake cover tops to encapsule every sculpture inside for safety#looking at it still no wonder these are called towers gotdamn its legit so huge..#it looks awkward tho bc i cant fully make it glue to the wall bc of the cables so its like. awkwardly a bit in front of the wall#im scaared as to how to tell if it ever gets too hot. on a laptop u just press ur head against the left half and feel how hot it is#i think im gonna need software for this.. sigh. tho maybe ill never get to that point since its supposed to be decent#AND its not 8 years old + the 3 fans and gpu fan and cpu fan. surely thats enough. the case even has space for more than that!!#the acrylic side reflects my keyboard too. so niceys. stimulation for my creature eyes#my desk is gonna be so fucked up when i have to organize everything too bc the one i have now is perfecly laptop-oriented#it sits on a custom wooden desk and the keyboard+drawing tablet sit below. but theres a shelf on top of my desk thats too low for the>#>normal monitor to sit to so i wont be able to use the custom desk. and i dont even know what ill do with my laptop either#finally a good change in my sad life routine fr. i cant wait to play watchdogs on this and overgrowth and other ones#AND LAGLESS KRITA SMUDGE ENGINE BRUSHES!!! AND DOUBLE BRUSHES. THEYRE SO LAGGY#A N D ACTUAL FULL HD NORMAL MONITOR. maybe that will get me to not draw in small canvases anymore#now im anxious i just want the day to be over to get the monitor tomorrow aouugh.. just bc i started coding my resources neocities page#dextxt#<the 'major life events' ((sorta)) tag returns. one for the books.. if something bad happens.. itll be here to remind me of the good times
