you can say "chimoora" instead of "cow of tailed snake" if you want. its a good pun.

i ramble about aerospace sometimes
I take rocket photos and you can see them @aWildLupi

I have a terminal case of bovine pungiform encephalopathy, the bovine puns are cowmpulsory

they/them/moo where "moo" stands in for "you" or where it's funny, like "how are moo today, Lupi?" or "dancing with mooself"

it's honestly kind of disheartening that i need to get around to removing like half (or maybe more?) of the sites that i pinned on my phone because they either turned out to be operated by like a singular extremely regrettable person, they just stopped existing, or they got so bad they're unusable now

i don't wanna think about how many sites in my the collected bookmarks i have amassed in chrome over the years don't exist anymore at this point

DistinctiveStatic @alchemistdoctor10/7/2023, 11:00 PM

Whenever I check through my bookmarks (tends to happen when I'm searching for an old one) I tend to have to remove one in ten. It's horribly depressing. Internet Archiving small sites is such an important move.

at this point at just first glance:

2 gfycat links in the "gifs" folder
the 90s-era site i used extensively in 2016 to look up alternate design proposals for the Space Shuttle when i was makin goofy shit in kerbal
i haven't even ggotten to the full bookmarks folders that was just "the first things i saw on mouseover" ough

Feels like if you kept an address book of all the nice cafés and bookstores and whatnot that you liked to go to and then over the course of ten years had to cross off all the ones that closed 😔

Please go into more detail about alternative space shuttle/reusable space vehicle designs! I love unbuilt aviation history.

It's hardly my specialty past "oh, those are cool," really. I had that old website bookmarked so I could find nifty design references for my Kerbal campaign, and it's a shame it's gone (well, partially gone, all the image links died, but the text remains), another lovely piece of the old web.

However, I can highly recommend going to your local library and looking for a Shuttle reference guide known as "Jenkins" after its author (Dennis Jenkins). It's fully known as Space Shuttle - Developing an Icon and it's a huge three-volume set. Hell, in many places that website is citing the older editions of Jenkins, hah.

addendum, at least one previous edition is present on archive.org based on a quick search, if your local library doesn't have it.

I forget which branches of my local library system have it, i know the Cape Canaveral branch does, they have the best space section tmk. Next time I've taken the city bus down there fora beach day, I might tuck in there and do some reading.
