New people 🙂 Welcome
Feel free to say something and mention me: @JohanEmpa to get a conversation going.
Perhaps try a "hello mastodon" as your first toot/post. Or say something about yourself or why you are on Mastodon now?
Just ask me if there is anything you want to know.
Tips: On the web you can turn on advanced mode to see more than one column.
Tusky is a good app for Android
@publius "boiling mercury" is a bad answer. Aha. Ask a better question. Mmhmm?
What planet, other than Mercury, would you boil?

I have no idea what is happening with men and my bike but I saw a lot of them fixate on my fat bike tires when I go for rides. Is this some kind of "male gaze" for bikes? 🤣
Einride is a cool truck being made in Sweden. They call it a pod for some weird reason.
It's a mix between autonomous truck and remote controlled truck. So it drives by itself, but a human can sit in an office and drive it remotely when needed. Perhaps on the real roads 2023.
Driving starts at 5:37

TIL there are two towns in the UK whose names are both spelled Gillingham, but one is pronounced /ˈɡɪlɪŋəm/ ("hard g" * ) and the other is pronounced /ˈdʒɪlɪŋəm/ ("soft g" *) and I love that.
* like in GIF.

I should probably have added Roadbus to the options as well.
It's possible to delete and re-draft a Toot to edit the options, buut I have other things to do. Like coffee.
You're going from A to B to take part in an important poll. What's your preferred way of travel?
If you take a normal Airbus and remove the wings, what does it become?
Airbus is on the right path, making climate neutral airplanes.

first test of my new tablet! Even if I went for an affordable model it's like twice as large as my ol dead wacom bamboo, and this one has buttons?? outrageous. changing my workflow and getting used to moving my hand this much is going to take a moment, but I'm happy, it feels a bit like I've been drawing with a stick in the sand all this time and someone finally gave me a pencil and paper 😂

I love seals. Here's a drawing of a seal chilling in the sun. #MastoArt #CreativeToots
Will we find fish and dolphins on Mars instead of green men?
This is the only Estonian word I know so far: jää-äär
Just noticed a grey image in my media tab (when using the mobile app) . It's a fairly weird sound file. The context is trying speaking German while pronouncing it like Icelandic. It's a bot speaking Swedish.

I want non-capitalistic turn based strategy games. Which means not war (or war=game over) and not trading-for-accumulation.
What other concepts could a strategy game be built on?
Cooperation, possibly as trading for mutual benefit?
Scoring of welfare rather than wealth? (It's a game, it likely needs some kind of scoring)
Infrastructure construction and maintenance?
To be explicit, I'm asking for input and suggestions.
Wow - I watched the whole thing. Four hours of climate talks.
