you will find that if the branch snaps from the trunk, its perpendicular distance will be exactly the same number of milimeters.
- Comment on He's an arborist 1 week ago:
The radius of a circle is a fixed distance from its origin at every angle.It’s still the same number of milimeters distal of the trunk from the pivot point.
- Comment on He's an arborist 2 weeks ago:
The larger length, even if it’s at a near vertical acute angle, is likely to tumble if it breaks–which means the whole reason we’re interested in its measurement is a situation where the angle is no longer fixed
- Comment on He's an arborist 2 weeks ago:
The correct answer is “between 114 and 152 millimeters” because both measures are relevant and necessary from an engineering standpoint: For the purposes of sizing something such that it can utilize the branch for support, it must be made clear that the branch is solid and whole up to 114 millimeters from the trunk. For the purpose of accidental collision clearance, it is necessary to know the furthest extent of the branch’s reach no matter how damaged or distupted it is. Furthermore if the branch may break and fall off, giving it at least 152mm of clearance means that it is unlikely to accidentally catch upon something in its descent even if it “hinges” away from the trunk at the base.

Do you promise, Canada? Really promise? If you do… You can stay. You don’t have to go. Let all of our regions be vassals until each respective reasons proves itself worthy of becoming a province. The province of New England would welcome you as liberators and celebrate your arrival as the new independence day…
- Comment on Why do some people (i.e. white conservatives) think all Spanish speakers (especially native Spanish speakers) are Mexican? 2 months ago:
Yeah, OP, Baggie has a point. Coming to the United States now, especially now of all times, is similar to buying tickets to board a sinking ship. It’s not just a waste of your resources that isn’t worth it; this shithole country might get you killed and even European folks who natively speak languages other than Spanish are in danger here and getting detained just for being here. People are dying in ICE custody, being raped by border patrol “agents”. If you have the means, please consider escaping with your life WHILE YOU STILL CAN.

I’m sorry, It turns out I’m not a man u.u
But that does explain why I was so turned off at the prospect of getting sucked (yuck) Because this junk on me is the wrong parts!
The most fun relationships I’ve had, my own body was hardly even acknowledged and I made it all about what I can do for my partner ^^
Besides, receiving sexual gratification of any kind is aggressively mid to me anyway, because I’m pretty sure I’m on the asexual spectrum.
I want to please my partners solely because I’m panromantic and when anyone i love has a good time i get the warm fuzzy giddy mushy sappy tingles~ :3

Oh I’m not a girl either.
I’m an it: a THING. :3
The big revelation i had in recent years is that although i may not know what i am, i know what I’m not.
I wasted decades living like a fish who was tricked into thinking its life’s purpose was to climb trees.
I could have spared myself a great deal of inconvenience and confusion if i had realized sooner that I’m asexual and genderless because divesting of those labels has drastically reduced the discomfort of my existence in that i no longer feel bizarre self-inflicted pressure to fulfill archetypical roles toward which i never related and which I never understood in the first place.
A lot of social issues i had came from externalization of internal dysphoria. The deep, overwhelming disgust and discomfort I felt when merely even conceptualizing masculinity that purports to be ‘mine’, let alone any actual participation in such an identity. Being in “boy” spaces, being present for “boy” events, every stereotype and statistically emergent pattern associated with maleness, all of it–ALL OF IT–made my skin crawl.
The utter revulsion that overwhelmed me regarding masculinity spilled over into how I treated others, and that absolutely sucked. It’s not their fault they had an intrinsic understanding of themselves that felt intuitive and made sense to them…
…
And also even though I don’t particularly feel interested in pretending to be a girl either i know i definitely would be more comfortable in a more androgynous body. I even want bottom surgery, not for anyone else’s sake but because it feels less wrong conceptually.
(Not holding my breath though)
I just sometimes think back to the 90s and wonder if i could’ve had more room in my head for more useful considerations if I hadn’t been preoccupied with an intrinsic inability to embody societal expectations and roles that, it turns out, had nothing to do with me. If i didn’t waste so much effort trying to care about something that i hated and turned out to not matter at all, goodness, i could’ve known myself so much better, been at least somewhat more comfortable in my own head if not in my own skin.
If future me had conveyed the message convincingly in just those three words that no good would come from struggling to participate with that miserable dead-end charade… maybe i could have better focused on things that did matter.

The cool thing about Barq for me, though, is that it functions as a proximity IFF transponder–or at least that’s how i think of it
because it shows you other furries within range. hypothetically speaking, if there IS a “local furry community” you’d want to connect with, some of them MIGHT be on Barq.
Like, by default, any fur you end up talking to on barq is going to be within hanging out / getting food / social activity range.
Just kinda wish it was a little easier to pitch group activities to the local area. I’d absolutely be interested in knowing if there’s any such events happening nearby but as it presently stands i have to actively search through fragnented and static message boards where the proximity feature has no presence, and there may be boards for your area that are not obviously named because the board names are user defined… And frankly, i have too much going on to set aside time for commiting to in-depth perusal on a regular basis where i might not even find out about anything actionable most of the time.
If the fediverse had an optional “see users near me in dirtspace” feature … I don’t think anyone would use it??? I dunno it just feels like the “meeting up with people” task and goal NEED to be compartmentalized to a specific system for that purpose so you can cut it loose entirely at a moments notice without destroying everything…
- Comment on the wok agenda 3 months ago:
I use barq!
sadly it isn’t terribly effective because there’s way too much friction when it comes to local interaction
two people have to like each other first before they can even say hi? that’s like … literally the opposite of how meeting people works though???
that isn’t to say that DMs should be unlocked but rather that there oughtta be a localized/proximity public channel where you can just sorta microblog to the void and others who are nearby enough to see it can comment.
i’d call that system “howling”. kinda like the twilight bark from the old animated 101 Dalmatians movie ^_^
