Hey so

I've been screwing around with the network connecting the communications devices a little. I know there's no Spotify here, no internet, not a lot of music, which sucks. My MP3 player came here with me, so I figured maybe some people might like to have at least a few options. It might not necessarily be to everyone's taste, but it's better than nothing (probably).

I've uploaded the contents to the database, you should be able to access it or send/receive songs at any time.

Turns out they already had some music on there too, so you can poke around theirs and see if you find something you like more. I haven't gotten to go through it all, but at least some of it looks like 21st century Earth stuff.

Sidenote: you're welcome to criticize the contents of my MP3 player, just know that I've never felt shame in my life & I can and will sing all of these karaoke style to your face. IDK if you really want to live through that experience.

( feel free to threadjack as you like )

i have done that so many times my dude

I was an engineer. Transitioning into teaching it, actually, but the world kind of ended before I could get my doctorate and go full time. Got an apprenticeship at a firm when I got jumped to 2512, so I picked up a little from there, too. Definitely not a hobbyist.

Well, maybe a little a hobbyist too.

Would you consider yourself a good engineer?

I'm mostly asking because I do have a robot here. If the time comes that it needs repairs or modifications ... it's a finicky machine, and I want care in handling it, but I'm not proficient enough to do that. In rather crude terms, I'm just the guinea pig for it.

That's a complicated question. I'd consider myself good for 21st century standards, but when we start venturing to future tech I only got to spend a little time in 2512. Even then, that was still a pretty standard Earth setting. When we start incorporating completely foreign, alien technology into the mix...

What I'd like to do, if you don't mind, is get a look at it now while it's functional. If I can understand it while it's working, I have a better chance of fixing it if it breaks. If it's a particularly intricate or complex build, it'll probably take several days for me to map out. Maybe even a couple weeks.

Oh, it's functional. It's finicky and has trust issues, probably inherited from its charming pilot. But it's not alien technology.

You're free to come meet with me anytime. It's not like I'm busy, anyhow.

[wittingly]

When you say trust issues, does it have built-in AI? It's sentient?

I spend most of my time in the engineering corps if you'd like to swing by there, otherwise if you've got a better place I can meet you.

[spalten]

No. I mean that it's a delicate machine.

I'll come and find you.

Just checking
you never know

I'll be here :)
