@amiserabilist@beige.party @Soldusty@beige.party @MAJ1@beige.party that's kind of hot. My last dream last night involved me back in California, I thought of in my old neighborhood, but I ended up scaling a trail of broken light blue rock to the base of reservoir. None of this was like my old neighborhood there attn @wendinoakland@beige.party A common theme in my dreams is getting to places through unexpected difficulties or obstacles. It'd be nice if my dreams weren't like my real life

@amiserabilist@beige.party @Soldusty@beige.party @MAJ1@beige.party @wendinoakland@beige.party I have a story of an explosion in my lab long ago (other side) that if it hadn’t been for two fortuitous events would have resulted in two casualties Also: my dad asked my mom out to dinner after they had both separately come to see a co worker in the hospital, recovering from an explosion in her lab So don’t diss lab mishaps completely

The Most Powerful Idea in the World

The Most Powerful Idea in the World

'The most important invention in the whole of the Industrial Revolution was invention itself.' Those words are at the heart of this remarkable book - a history of the Industrial Revolution and the steam engine, as well as an account of how inventors first came to own and profit from their ideas and how invention itself springs forth from logic and imagination. Rocket. It was the fortuitously named train that inaugurated steam locomotion in 1829, jump-starting two centuries of mass transportati
