Quick intro: I'm a faculty member at UofT in Psychology, sitting somewhere at the intersection of vision science, cognitive psychology and human factors, with strong interests in driver behaviour and digital (screen) readability.

I'm the Least Important Mammal in my house and the cats know it.

Yup. And you can salt that hallway with prox mines and make it rather a lot easier.

I mean, there's strategic aiming as well.

Precision aiming, if you will

It'd be nice if they wanted to launder their reputations, rather than just be boring fools

I mean, impalement can be achieved with anything, it's just a question of force.

Much the same way, to paraphrase @funranium.bsky.social, anything can be a laser. Once.

The weather feels like fall again - it was 3C when we got up this morning - and my nasal allergies have decided they *hate* me today.

The double-action Aerius (a Canadian allergy drug that combines Desloratadine and Pseudoephedrine) is holding things at bay... but only barely

Paging @aotearoabadger.bsky.social… there is a Need for Heresy.

Hey, do any of you Warhammer nerds have a spare copy of TALES OF HERESY, edited by Kyme & Priestley?

It’s super expensive online, and I’d love to get it for our elder kid’s birthday.

(I know this is probably futile, but I gotta try.)

Figure out ways to torment Phil and company FOR THE KIDS

I usually buy them drinks. I'll be travelling that weekend and won't be able to find entertaining torments for them

At five weeks & change out from our game day, we have had several fine drinks bought for us to enjoy on game day to make sure everything feels gooooood for Extra Life. What's surprising is we don't know what character classes we're playing yet. It could get nutty.

I was also thinking about the potential for unseen risks - jet wash, blind spots around aircraft and other vehicles

As someone who studies exactly this corner of visual perception and driver behaviors, I agree entirely.

Although I’ve never even thought about airfields… (my work focuses on noncommercial passenger vehicles).

I bet there’s interesting questions to be asked about *how* drivers drive on airfields.
