The name of the song is 𝔸𝕊𝕊 , so it counts.
I wish I had a higher-quality video.

Imagine being able to jump more than twice your length (not including the tails) even as a baby.

imagine being a parent and your 3 year old just standing jumps onto the counter

Everything is political.

Rachel had to take care of some stuff last night, so I volunteered to take some notes and run the show & tell. Here are the notes!

Diabolizer’s been writing on the Wetfish wiki.

• Wrote a couple of articles about cummunism and fapitalism. Not juvenile enough! Need to expand it. So now it’s the Wetfish cumatic universe. IN A WORLD where they discover that cum can be transformed into psychedelic drugs that give you supernatural powers. So the men get locked down – it’s too dangerous to be distributed by just ANY man. And Rachel is the cumlord, fighting the system.
• How long is the writing? Short story, novella, novel, saga? Depends on how long until Diabolizer runs out of jokes and/or juice.
• Also been taking part in Mutual Aid Mondays.
  
  • Hard to gauge the “reach” of this project – it’s organised via chat, so don’t know how many people are there – but maybe 40-50 people show up in-person to serve 200-250 people. Both hot and cold food.
  • Diabolizer was talking to someone who made muffins for the whole group, but last time she made them someone swiped the whole bag. So this time she was parcelling the muffins out, one or two at a time, sneaking them into people’s bags.

Goos has a demo.

• Eevee-bot. Been around since Neuromancer died. Always wanted to rework it.
• It’s an IRC bot – it can save messages for other users, tell you when someone was last seen, play some text games, tell you what someone’s listening to on Last.fm, etc.
• It’s got a website now! https://eevee.bot/
• Deployable via Helm. That main way to deploy it. But you can deploy it via a Kubernetes operator too.
• It’s JavaScript under the hood. The old version was JS too, but a bit more monolithic. The new one will probably steal some of the logic.
• A WHOLE Kubernetes to run an IRC bot. It’s got ASCII art.
• Just the infrastructure so far – next up is porting the functionality into a new pattern.
• Ideally it’ll be more than an IRC bot in future – it’ll connect to Discord, Mattermost, etc. Anything with an API.

Mozai has had some handiwork to show.

• Found a design in Scientific American of an old wooden puzzle. A bit like some tetrominoes that assemble into a cube. 
• Made a few of these: some with beads and string, some with dice (an easier version for his niece). All the faces are aligned, so you know the orientation of each face.
• Made out of wooden cubes. You can buy 40 at a time, and you only need 27.

Meleeman's working on a couple of things. Cardboard projects, and milk glue.

• Made a crate out of paper mache and 5 layers of cardboard. It can hold his weight and his girlfriend’s weight.
• Demoed it! Stood on it, sat on it.
• Related: glue experiments with casein protein. Got borax in it. A fire retardant glue! Wants to see if he can make a bicycle out of it.
• Inspired by “Nighthawk in light”, a YouTuber. He had a video demoing a chair that he made. 
• Not waterproof yet, but maybe that’s in the future.
• Also wants to experiment with flax reinforcement.

Rachel:

• Had a mountain camping party for her birthday. 22 people, 2 dogs, and 2 DJs. 
• Dancers, a DJ booth, camping. A path illuminated to the bathroom. 
• Been working on a shade structure – boxes with barrels inside them, and a tall pole out of the top.
• Also been working on water excavation. How can she move dirt without needing to pay for a diesel vehicle? Can it be done with a water pump while agitating the soil?
   
  • For every barrel of water, about 4-5 wheelbarrows of soil get moved. It’s filtered.
  • Acts like quicksand. Rachel almost lost a boot to it.
  • 500 gallons of capacity.
• Also working on fire mitigation. Trimming the trees. Showed us an after/before of the tree. Intentionally leave a foot of each branch so you can climb the trees still.
• Current obsession: loam. From the water excavation. She’s using it for raised beds.
• Also did some construction on a neighbour’s driveway. Had a big excavator. The driveway was getting really eroded, so the road was re-graded, fixed some big gullies, and cut some better water channels so the water runs off the driveway rather than zig-zagging all over the driving surface.

Eva (presented by Rachel):

• Upgraded the Wetfish Matrix server.
• Also setting up alert bots, to monitor the Wetfish infrastructure. Still needs server names and the service names, but it’s a WIP.

Firedoll (presented by Rachel):

• Working on features for the forums.
• Customisable items. We had hoodies, shirts, etc before. But now you can add decorations, pick colours, draw a fish dick.
• You can equip every item possible. 
• Animated items too! Fireflies, confetti, etc.
• Next step: need a staging server for these items.
• Also changing rarity of items: “mythic” items. Only available at weekends.

Mouse:

• Turing machines. Taking a theory of computation class. 
• Showed off some literal whiteboard diagrams! Nice to see something analogue.
• Has some adders and decrementers right now. 
• Won’t be physically building a machine, but will probably be doing some simulations.

Anime!

• Wetfish has a streaming platform. We watch anime on Monday nights.
• Join #anime on IRC for more and to watch!

It's an ohmlette.

I think about jumping off a roof multiple times a day

Parenting hacks.  Give your baby a dollar promptly upon birth.  When they get their social security number, the child's value is set to $0.  Now, take back that dollar: the child will have $-1 value, and since the SS system uses signed int this will set the child start life with $2,147,483,647.

Probably this one, which is itself a metameme.
