sooooooooo...

I'm experimenting with something that is very, very early on...

(big thank you to @robinsloan)
This whole thing is because I've been figuring out how to collect/present the stories I make up on here, and they really don't work as prose.
The pacing's all off if you try to turn it into a short story or whatever.
This doesn't feel quite right yet? It feels slow?

But I don't have my Apple Developer Account crap together to try it out on an actual phone yet.
The other thing I want to try is to just copy the original tweet format more.
Just have one tweet per screen. Ish. If they'll fit.

Lots to try!
Another experiment! This one is broken up a lot less. It also has actual dialogue.
Hm, feels like that one is better. I wonder why.

"It was a very specific weapon... frankly, we don't understand the physics behind it. It doesn't make sense. It shouldn't be possible."
"I said just give me the bottom line."
"The 2.4GHz and 5GHz range just don't exist anymore."
"I'm dumb, what does that mean?
"No more Wifi."
"No more Wifi."
"Yep. And no more Bluetooth, either."
"So Wifi and Bluetooth are being jammed?"
"Not really. Jamming means someone's sending a more powerful signal to overwhelm ours."
"But that's not what's happening."
"Right. Because there's no... there... to send a signal."
"OK, fine. So what do we do?"
"Well, we need to figure out if we can replace every single transceiver that uses those frequencies, or if they can be altered to use different ones. But that's not the worst thing."

I admit it, I got hooked by Andy Weir’s new book.
Random thought: Weir’s The Martian and Project Hail Mary would both make “good” 90s era Sierra On-Line adult edutainment point-and-clicks.
I say “good” in that those 90s era Sierra On-Line point and clicks while somewhat fondly remembered fell into the trap of bad and punitive puzzle design. You’d need to carefully figure out the science puzzles for point and click game adaptations.

I am sad that NFTs are apparently the least bad (as in: being used by people) solution to real symptom, the underlying problem of which is _capitalism as it is practiced right now totally sucks_
ie people need money / need ways to spend less money / basics are incredibly expensive in the US eg housing, healthcare / social services are non-existent

Living is hard and everything is becoming a hustle & financialized
Worst is the creation of a new layer of middlemen who look, broadly, just like most of the last middlemen who’re for extraction and pulling the ladder up.
