If I had a nickel for every time someone accidentally replied to the entire 1800+ person listserv with a personal email, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but its weird that it happened TWICE IN THE SAME DAY!?

It’s a great book, but sort of idiosyncratic in its approach to general relativity. Maybe not the best place to learn the subject but a worthwhile read. On the other hand, does your favorite GR textbook tackle the really big questions like “Is Middle Earth flat?” (18/n)

I want to give just the biggest kudos to Kelsey Young, the Artemis II science officer. She did a phenomenal job today of communicating clearly and joyously and it was honestly orders of magnitude more distracting than I thought it would be to have on.

Hey #astrosci scientists, has anyone included a "I did not use AI" disclosure in one of their recent papers? I would like include one in an upcoming work, so I want to see if there is already a standard.

Nvidia CEO: “because they’re wrong” What a tone deaf and ignorant response. I don’t want generative “AI” to touch the media I consume. A game developer using image generation for textures is the same thing as using “DLSS 5” and I won’t buy games that use the technology.

As someone who consistently grows lettuce from seed, I didn't know the daisy thing, but good heavens, the conditions are always right for lettuce to decide they don't want to be lettuce anymore, & just wanna be pretty, bitter flowers instead.

TIL lettuce is part of the daisy family and grows a stem with flowers if the conditions are right.

Update: Updated my firmware per suggestions, and things seem more stable! However, my USB devices are acting a bit wacky. Reinstalling drivers seems to have fixed some issues. That being said, I'm probably one more dead-end issue away from just switching to Linux and living happy.

The only reason he could possibly want to give med advice is because his buddies financially gain. Separate shots = higher production demand. Combined shots reduce injury to children and cost burden on parents. But don’t listen to me, or unqualified presidents. Listen to your qualified doctors.

Gonna need the cosmic radiation to stop targeting my pc. Can’t figure out if this BSOD problem I’ve been having is due to software or hardware. All signs point to hardware since the problem persisted through windows installs. The thing is, linux and a diag OS have absolutely no issue.
