@LudwigAhgren @qtcinderella So... I take it you're renting out the Crypto Arena for the wedding?

[Daniel Tien @danieltien]

@slime_machine It does, it's just that the water needs to trickle and filter hundreds of feet into the ground and replenish the groundwater. There's beauty in knowing you'll hydrate people hundreds of years from now (or alfalfa farms selling their crop to Saudi princes).

I grew up in a dark place. I love my family and I’m grateful for the lessons I learned but I suffered a lot along the way. When I was in high school I saw a Craigslist ad of a farm looking to get rid of some puppies. I drove 2 hours in my beat up Acura and with my money saved from my retail job I bought my best friend. I named him Swift. He became a light that I never knew I could have.

I didn’t know what true love was before him. I had never had the chance to witness it. But I quickly learned the definition because of him. He held me thru breakups and hard ships. He held me when I lost my mom. He held me when I lost my identity. He held me when I couldn’t get up. Some struggles I’ve faced over the years made me wonder if I should be alive or if I should let myself go. But I always had a tether holding me. My beautiful boy who loved me unconditionally in a way that kept me here. Some days I didn’t even have it in me to get out of bed and Swift would remind me it’s time to get up. I have never loved anyone or anything the way I love Swift.

For 15 years he was the light of my life. The reason for my world. And now he’s not here. I don’t know how I’m going to survive.

For 15 years he was the first thing I saw in the morning and the last thing I saw before falling asleep.
When we would go for walks he wouldn’t watch the path he would turn back and constantly make sure I was still with him. What he didn’t know is I needed him as much as he needed me.

To say I’m heart broken is an understatement. I’m shattered down to my core. The only consistent love I’ve ever had in my life is gone. I would move mountains for Swift, and I promise I fucking tried. I’ve lost a part of my soul with him.

I wish I could do more. I wish I got more. I would give anything in the world right now to have him next to me. I’ve experienced a lot of grief in my life but this is a rare kind. I’ve loved Swift more than I loved myself on numerous occasions. I would do it all again. Every appointment, every cancelled plan, every adjustment in my schedule to make sure he got what he needed. I love that dog more than I love life itself. I hope he knows that. Thank you all for loving him too.

@SnazzyLabs They make sharkbite-style connectors for copper refrigerant lines, and the vacuum pump and torque wrench you can get at Harbor Freight. I bought a refill tank of R-32 from FL, and was able to recharge and repair my mini split with YouTube tutorials.

[Daniel Tien @danieltien]

@SnazzyLabs Sorry about the 3 hour thing, they've got you over a barrel with that. In the future, you can actually do a surprising amount of minor HVAC stuff without license or expensive tools as long as you're not brazing.

@_andyzhang_ Hey Andy, now that you and Alex are solo, what kind of equipment are you using now to shoot @ziptietuning?

[Daniel Tien @danieltien]

@SnazzyLabs Do you get a hit against the YT algorithm for breaking cadence?

[Daniel Tien @danieltien]

@jakkuh_t Hey, what's your shooting setup like (camera/lens, audio, sound), now that you're operating solo?

[Daniel Tien @danieltien]

@_literallyabear Is Chekov's Aircraft Carrier a thing?

[John Bolton @AmbJohnBolton]

By moving the USS Gerald R. Ford to the Caribbean, Trump has put the gun on the table. The question now is, is he going to use it against Maduro or not?

@LudwigAhgren Renewing my subscription to her Twitch channel as revenge.

[ludwig @LudwigAhgren]

every year I see first hand how much time, effort, and passion qt devotes to the streamer awards

and every year she gets shit from every corner of the internet that feels they deserve more

I know it’s not possible to please everyone- but if you’re like me and inspired by the work she puts in and thinks it makes streaming a better space- don’t be afraid to be more vocal about it!!!

@LilyPichu MVP!

@MogulMoves @LudwigAhgren @LilyPichu MVP for Team Jack on Day 2.

[Daniel Tien @danieltien]

@DaveBlass Must've spent a fortune on the gloss coats.

[Daniel Tien @danieltien]

@LilyPichu @kingkotana You could just take a series of stills of the actual plushie instead of rigging a CG model. It'd be easier and more "realistic" looking. Unless you can get someone to make a hyper-realistic model of a plushie...

@falco @olc6_ I'm thinking @aidencalvin will take the longest trying too earnestly to get it perfect, and halfway through the campaign, Slime would have an Aussie accent for no apparent reason.

[Daniel Tien @danieltien]

@falco @olc6_ Which one of you do you think would have the most trouble re-recording his lines?

[Daniel Tien @danieltien]

@olc6_ @falco Yard D&D getting pushed back a few more months because the audio got screwed up and they need all need to dub their lines in an ADR booth.

[Daniel Tien @danieltien]

I didn't know how much I needed to listen to @slime_machine unintentionally mog on Nile Red on computer science and theoretical physics today (with no disrespect to Nigel).
