    So today I was in my metalworking course learning about how to put rivets in things and that there is a machine called a jump press that lets you cut metal and it's called that because you actually jump on it that's how it works

    and

    I noticed there was a dude at a table in the shop (not in our class just in the shop at the same time as us) who was p nice looking but MORE IMPORTANTLY he was surrounded by books on norse and celtic art and also scabbards. He was carving something into one of the scabbards.

    So after class I was like HELLO HUMAN TELL ME ABOUT SWORDS (except like, slightly less awkwardly) and he was very excited to talk about swords and also has a nice voice. But I really really had to catch a bus so I was like
    "I have to catch a bus but let me know when you're here again" and I wrote my number in his sketchbook
    and he was like "I'm here a lot"
    and I was like "Good!" and left

    I INTERACTED WITH A PERSON??

    however it's been pointed out to me by other people I've talked to about this that.... at no point did we exchange names.

    I.. I tried so hard..

    Heh. My sister is fiddling with this one puzzle game on her phone that she seems to be pretty dedicated to 100%ing. It looks like she's made quite a bit of headway towards that goal, looked like she was maybe 79% of the way through and some of the puzzles I saw got very complex. So I was just kinda sitting there with her watching her play and talking about the game and occasionally going "hmm maybe [thing] would work?" and then I realize oh my god I'm finally having a conversation with my big sis about video games and so that was pretty great

    Casual phone games today, high-level Halo tournaments tomorrow.

    What was that Japanese one with the super moves? It was 3D and anime pilots.

    Oh! Sometimes! I just misinterpreted your tea leave interpretation as though people did not want to eat with me rather than the reverse. The reverse is more accurate honestly.

    Incidentally I am nearing unconsciousness and it is taking an amazing amount of effort to be coherent. If Geth picks me, please someone else do it. I am incapable.

    The Great Oxygenation Event (GOE), also called the Oxygen Catastrophe, Oxygen Crisis, Oxygen Holocaust, Oxygen Revolution, or Great Oxidation, was the biologically induced appearance of dioxygen (O2) in Earth's atmosphere.

    The names for this imply that it may have been an important event

    Did it occur during a short period of time, or was it something that happened gradually? Relatively speaking, of course.

    I cannot find an answer, but the question is also sort of ambiguous. Oxygen may have been produced for (according to Wiki) 900 million years before it built up in the atmosphere. It looks like if we had today's photosynthesis it'd take 2000 years to get this much O2, and we have way more photosynthesis now. It may have begun to appear in the atmosphere 50 million years before what is referred to as the event itself.

    Extinctions tend to be a lot slower than people realize, but that is particularly slow.

    I like the theory that it was a late sudden appearance of oxygen producers that appeared right before the event
