Finally back!
Jun. 17th, 2015 07:17 am Well. We haven't posted in pretty much a year, but fuck Tumblr so we're back.
Summary of the last year:
Summary of the last year:
- Fall 2014 Semester sucked, we only finished 2 classes, the rest were extended into Spring
- Spring 2015 is over with only one B
- Summer 2015 semester should not be a thing, but it is; we're taking AP Gov and regular Econ. It's great (no, it's not).
There is a man named Vinay Gupta. He did a talk called "One Network One World: Consequences of Imperialism". And he don't take no shit.
He designed and works on a thing called HexYurts. They can house three people each, approximately.
9 billion people at deployment / 3 per yurt = 3 billion yurts
3 billion yurts * 12 sheets of material for each yurt = 36 billion sheets
4kg per sheet * 36 billion panels = ~100 billion kilos of panels
Aluminum foil over industrial cardboard. Recyclable and compostable if it fails, but it won't. Easy to assemble with duct tape or screws.
And guess what?
Within the scope of current industrial production. Why the hell aren't we doing this.
Watch the entire talk here:

"It is much easier to end the [imperialist] system of oppression completely than it is to change who is oppressed."

Jun. 9th, 2014 09:03 pm K> Listening to Queen's '39 was, perhaps, a bad idea... I miss them all. I miss every one of them, I miss their smiles and their sweat and their cursing. I miss my Lee, and my Commander. I miss Roslin more than I might have admitted to her. I even miss Tigh. And... I always miss them. Every second they are a hole in my heart. When we're working I can ignore it, but it's times like this that really get to me.
I want to run out on the deck smiling with the Chief yelling at me, or someone else, or nobody in particular. I want to lose against smug-faced Baltar at cards. I want to get knocked in the jaw by an angry Adama - either one. Just give me back my Battlestar.

Moving here.
Jun. 8th, 2014 08:29 amWe're going to be moving here from Tumblr. Our Tumblr will remain up and we'll check it once in a while but we probably won't post much.
Tumblr culture is just too adversarial. We can't handle constantly being slammed by critics on both sides of any argument just because we dare to talk about our experiences.
