“The signal is repeating! We’ve got the whole thing.”

“How many bits?”

“Almost 500k. 454,957 bits”

“I got a hunch, factorize that number”

“Bingo, seven fifty seven times six oh one. Think it could be a rectangular bitmap?”.

“It’s what we used to do back before those assholes let Arecibo fall down. Try bm2png.pl in my bin dir.”

“That worked. Holy shit I know that image. It’s the Pioneer plaque. That diagram from Pioneer 11 of human figures, and a map to Earth.”

“What, thats impossible, it’s only been, what, 70 odd years. That probe would still be in our own Kuiper Belt.”

“Outside it, actually, it’d be about one sixty AU out. They lost contact in the mid 90s. Still basically in our backyard but.”

“It’s too soon! If someone’s found it now, that would mean. Shit. They’re. Already. Here. Inside the Solar system.”

“And all they’ve got to say, is ‘Hi, we liked ur meme’.?”

“Maybe not, can you bring up an image of the original plaque? Are the images identical?”

“I’ll do a layer subtraction. Hey, there /is/ a difference. In the map of the planets. They’ve omitted Pluto from their copy.”

“Fucking hell. Little green reply guys.”

Are you ready for a story?? Don't know if it would be long or short XD. I've been wanting to do a comic strip for quite some time and I decided to start now even if I'm not sure of the outcome of the ending. I'm gonna go with the wind and see what happens.
Btw, I'd be happy if you tell me any mistakes you find, since English isn't my first language.

Ph--, vivid descriptions, food mention 

It took me between the last post and now to find the energy to put on a pot of rice, and the end result is walking makes it feel like someone shoved needles into my kneecaps while washing the rice made my fingers feel like they went through a printing press

Ph-- 

Joints are really bad. Knees swollen. Can barely stand. Pain meds aren't doing shit to help

I asked yinglets enjoyers what brought them to the scene and they all said object oriented programming?

They are just sitting there! MENACINGLY!!! WEEWOO

food, mildly cursed 

Okay, the extra oils added to speculoos butter kind of detract from the flavour when eaten directly

...My dad gave me a squeeze bottle of the stuff, what did you think was gonna happen?

Proof-of-concept multiplayer module for #SnekStudio is working for now! And.. I think I did it all in one day?! Right now the biggest problem is the massive packet size (>8KB per update tick?), but that's why it's a PoC, right?

Printer, Epson 

Loading ink into an inkjet is viscerally satisfying in a way I did not appreciate.

I went and looked at the bike my old roommates left out on the balcony some years back and it's actually in better shape than I expected. They talked like it had no brake assembly at all, but it's just missing one (1) brake pad and a kickstand...

I could probably get a trainer and use it to exercise, build up some muscles for knee support. This is exciting, actually!

#Seattle folks: consider checking out the #vashon studio tours this or next weekend! they're great for holiday shopping. I'm at stop 7, Dockton Pottery.

puppygirl woes 

In a waiting room and someone fucking has a squeaky toy sound for their notification and I nearly LOST IT !!!!

Your $12-15 payment every month to Spotify disappears into a blackhole and is noticed and appreciated by exactly NO ONE. By contrast, you could spend that same amount today at Bandcamp, OWN three albums because of it, AND make the day of each of those artists.

Seriously, a $5 sale can change a life.
