I'm a Vietnamese cis woman born and currently living in the U.S. You may know me from Sandwich, from Twitter or Mastodon (same username), or on Twitch as Sharkaeopteryx. I do not have a Discord or Bluesky account.

Ask me about language learning/teaching, cooking/eating food, late diagnosis ADHD, and volunteer small business mentoring. Or don't, I'm not the boss of you.


I think people deserve to be young, make mistakes, and grow without being held to standards they don't know about yet and are still learning. So, if you are under 22, please don't try to strike up a friendship or get involved in discussions on my posts.


Please don't automatically assume I follow/know/co-sign someone just because I reposted something from them—sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Also, if you think being removed as a follower when we're not mutuals is a cardinal sin, please do not follow me.

you know, those forearm mounted guns you see in sci-fi would probably need some kind of safety device to stop them from firing if your hand is in the wrong position so you can accidentally blow your own fingers off, they kind of put a lot of delicate body parts in front of the muzzle

@fwankie

you can only be so cool with your pop up cyber gun concealed in your forearm if you end up accidentally shooting your cyber hand and shattering it into lots of little pieces

Consider you can utterly ruin some coroner's day when they have to write, 'subject killed by high velocity finger bang.'

in reply to @fwankie's post:

I imagine it's a mechanical lever, or certain muscle flexors/tendons that breaks the circuit.
But I'd also like to imagine some dumbass design from some companies where it's purely wireless signals, and would fail to act in a safe manner all the time.

Yah, or if it's pitched as the 'pro' version because it's lighter weight (no safety parts) and someone messes up because their ego wont let them buy the regular kind.
