Shoving pipes up Benreys ass again sorry
#repurposed the fountain print#the outflow keeps blowing duckweed everywhere so i nuked 95% of it and threw him in as an airstone bubble block#also mossball guardian because it keeps rolling outta sight#hlvrai#UPDATE: hes floating. i ordered new rocks this mf getting glued#Goin for that red layered canyony rock and praying they give me enough for an arch but not enough that it's gon get heavy af#it's an aqua one aspire tank with lil legs which is a stupid fucking idea it makes me so fucking anxious the base will cave in

grayson went downstairs for a late-night bowl of cereal & heard water splashing in the basement (which has been flooding with distressing frequency). they looked and spotted the new water heater's condensation pump IN THE ACT of gushing gallons and gallons of water all over the floor!!
they called for me, i ran downstairs in my underwear (just having showered like ten minutes earlier). i tbh sort of wrench the pump into a 5-gal tub (which it RAPIDLY starts filling) to give us time to diagnose the problem. this is not helped by there being like 4 tubes/pipes plumbed into/out of this thing.
i try to pick it up to get a better look at what it's doing and it feels like it buzzes weirdly on my fingers or maybe hand? so i drop it back in the tub (mostly submerged) and try again. same thing. grayson tries it, same thing. i'm like oh shit where did those LOOSE WIRES ON THE PUMP COME FROM OH MY GOD WE'RE STANDING IN AN INCH OF WATER AND I THINK WE JUST GOT SHOCKED. we both get the hell out of the water, i shut off the power to the water heater & go back to try again (grayson has heart disease! do not want them taking any risks w/ electricity!), get zapped AGAIN. i realize the pump is plugged into an outlet on a different circuit and unplug it (by the cord) (in hindsight should've turned off the whole circuit).
the pump stops pumping & i can move it to a new bucket (good! the old one is now overflowing) but it is still gushing water. grayson realizes our Mysterious Whole-House Filter Of Unknown Custom Design is in the middle of its flush cycle so we shut it off. and the water stops. we turn the spigots to bypass the filter so it won't do that again, hopefully.
turns out when the water heater installers put the condenser pump in, they (for some reason) routed the filter flush outflow pipe down through it, then out to the main outflow pipe using the condenser pump. but the flush cycle has such high flow rate that it absolutely overwhelmed the tiny little condenser pump and just poured out of every opening in it. so. i'm annoyed. this didn't need to happen.
#keeping it fun and funky fresh#personal#our house in the middle of our street#to be fair i had NO idea that the flush cycle was that intense#i mean good lord.#but they should've plumbed the condenser pump outflow into the main outflow separately#instead they ''unplugged'' the flush pipe and ''plugged in'' the condenser pump outflow pipe where it had been#just a teeeeeny little cut corner that has made the last week EXTRAORDINARILY DIFFICULT#that being said all this is good news#the flooding had started happening more & we now know at least the most recent of it is bc of this which shouldn't be hard to fix#but. it had also flooded at least twice this year before the new water heater. so.#a basement waterproofing estimator came earlier today and it wasn't a great experience. not to mention $$$$

If you aren't interrupting kissing to fight about the definition of seas vs lakes, are you even lesbians?
#*kiss* the caspian sea is fucking landlocked#and the great salt lake is saline as hell#what is your determinant?#also doesn't the black sea just have one outflow? then what the fuck is the st lawrence canal?#*kiss* it's whatever we've called it babe that's called culture#*scowl kiss* i don't expect this from YOU. the great lakes are inland seas. resolved.#they're lakes babe. lakes#*kiss*#what happens when two very cool women get married

NASA’s Webb Snaps Supersonic Outflow of Young Star
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s high resolution, near-infrared look at Herbig-Haro 211 reveals exquisite detail of the outflow of a young star, an infantile analogue of our Sun. Herbig-Haro objects are formed when stellar winds or jets of gas spewing from newborn stars form shock waves colliding with nearby gas and dust at high speeds. The image showcases a series of bow shocks to the southeast (lower-left) and northwest (upper-right) as well as the narrow bipolar jet that powers them in unprecedented detail. Molecules excited by the turbulent conditions, including molecular hydrogen, carbon monoxide and silicon monoxide, emit infrared light, collected by Webb, that map out the structure of the outflows.

While Khare wasn't exactly considered a 'success' by PROMETHEUS, there are times where her body does function according to plan. One of these are enhanced capabilities, particularly in regards to improved jumping thanks to the frog DNA inserted into her genetic sequence. One time when walking to Pauli's, Khare was startled by a group of young thugs calling out and running after her. When met by a dead-end, she jumped straight up and on top of the building, losing the group but ended up arriving late to work as she struggled to find a way down after getting on top of a (very) high roof.
#🌈 || musings#🌈 || headcanons#Sometimes a girl just has to jump 30 feet straight up into the air#The funny thing is that Khare cannot control this at ALL#Hence being more of a failure than a success#The times where her body does cooperate is far and few in-between but sometimes it do work#Khare managed to escape from the facility due to the ability of being able to jump high#Not quite high enough to clear the barbed wire fences surrounding the place but enough to juuust get over it#Can't control the electrical outflow#Can't breathe underwater indefinitely#But it's worked somewhat during desperate times#Just never when she wants it#Imagine trying to jump high enough to try and get over a fence but suddenly you're on the roof :(#And you're shit at climbing so you have to knock on the inhabitant's window and ask to be let down#Had to spin a wild story to get out of that one#Happy Easter to everyone (who celebrates) btw!#I hope you're all having a lovely day regardless!#I am OFF Easter overtime so can hopefully finish off some of those older memes waiting to be done#Sorry about the wait it's been a hard grind this week and especially weekend oof

Okay but like. As someone who knows anything about post-apartheid South Africa, I would not use South Africa as the example here.
When South Africa dismantled apartheid, it did not end with the expulsion of all white South Africans. They became part of the new South Africa, just without the criminal discriminatory oligarchic powers the apartheid goverment had. When Bolivia recognized its indigenous heritage and became a plurinational state, it did not mean that people of European descent were expelled in masse. It meant the recognition of the previously discriminated indigenous and mestizo people of Bolivia and the beginning of a path of integration and revalidation.
What I mean is that it's ridiculous to think that decolonization inherently means mass suffering and relocation, that's what colonization does. Decolonization is recognizing the crimes of colonization, but more importantly, material, political and social steps to give power and self-determination to the exploited native people who were victims of colonialism and imperialism.
In multicultural societies, you don't go like in that Peter Griffin meme with a skin tone chart and saying 'well, you go back to Europe, you go back to Africa, you stay here'. You build a new society on the paradigm of dignity for exploited people and equality under the law. People are acting like this is some sort of fantastic utopia instead of real initiatives that were done in living memory, with successes and failures, as all such initiatives have. One must ask why are some so insistent that multicultural societies can't thrive, especially when for most of history, societies were indeed like that. Consider why you think like that.
#apartheid needed to be ended to be 💯 clear#but it is not a good example of what you're saying would or should happen#basically now white people pay for their own pseudo police as state capacity has been falling#as a success story it has many asterisks especially in these specific ways#including the obvious fact that there has been a huge outflow of whites. which you know fine whatever#but that DID happen

on a less whiny note. found a tiny solar powered water pump fountain thing on amazon for like 8 dollars which is the perfect size to add a little water movement to the tiny patio container pond ive been trying to set up so it doesnt become a mosquito breeding ground :-) got here earlier today and it seemed to work really well
#going to line the bottom with lava rock and angle the pump outflow towards it so it can hopefully act as a rudimentary filter#that alongside a good amount of plants should allow it to house some teeny tiny fish as weather permits! hopefully#if not though i would be more than happy to just have some nice plants. cabomba alocasia and a dwarf water lily would be nice#maybe some pothos or something trailing out of it and potted plants surrounding? if im topping off the pond itd be easy to also water plants#.pdf#rd

FBM KLCI Extends Losses Amid Foreign Fund Shift; US Markets Rebound After Fed Speech
The FBM KLCI continued to decline (-0.7%) due to foreign fund rotation towards China and Hong Kong, with Utilities (+0.7%) and REITs (+0.6%) leading gains, while Energy (-1.2%) and Construction (-1.1%) sectors saw the largest losses. US markets ended positively, with the S&P 500 hitting a record high after the Fed Chairman’s dovish speech boosted confidence in the US economy. European markets…

I was lucky enough to grow up in a house with indoor plumbing.
OK this question has been bugging me all morning so y'all please let me know
bc ours did nd I never thought much of it as a kid but know I'm thinking about it and it feels kinda gross? so pls tell me if this experience was universal or not it will haunt me forever otherwise
#jokes aside we had a bucket for cleaning and also for vomit#not simultaneously#a bowl feels like it would cause more mess from the pressure of the outflow

I changed my mind, writing a eulogy is actually good
I could have done without having to stay up to 4am to reach this realisation but we can't have everything
#so#i read some websites on how to write a eulogy#some were crap#some very good and informed me a lot and i have deleted my entire first draft#I'm using this time to honor his memory and i can only hope to get across who he was to me and why i love him#It's NOT about explaining why and how and details of my grief and how much pain i am in. It's about him#outflowings of pain are for private conversations and i don't need to explain the pain i am in to anyone there#all i gotta do is summarise his many positive aspects and how proud i am to call him my dad#but don't talk to me about how i need to organse photos and flowers in the next few days or I'm going to sprint down the road for some sweet#cigarettes OR relapse with biting all my nails off OR maybe cry again from the stress of this#amen
