Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1
The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.
So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.
So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.
Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.
And the probe is working again.
From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

People tend to throw out the phrase "extremely specific kinks" as though that inherently implies something transgressive, but in my experience, the overwhelming majority of extremely specific kinks are so innocuous that you could see them in public and not even clock them. For every person who can only get off to having their nipples electrocuted, there are a dozen who are volcanically aroused by seeing their partner wearing one specific pair of socks.

"Jaime decides to give his longtime, unspoken love interest, Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie), the knightly title she’s wanted all her life."
"Beginning in its third season, the HBO series spent years building toward the moment when Jaime and Brienne’s mutual respect and love could be truly recognized. In A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, not only do both characters do that for each other, but Jaime’s decision to knight Brienne marks the climax of his redemption arc and pays off all the times she’d already proven herself as arguably the show’s most honorable character. It’s a moment that feels hard-won and earned, and it rewards viewers for investing so much time and emotion into Jaime and Brienne’s stories."

You deserve to be surrounded by people who bring out the soft side of you, not the survival side of you.
