@researchbuzz I was just curious as to where that photo was taken, exactly, so I started poking around... and it was surprisingly easy to find ^.^

The main clue (looking at the general area of Mill Valley) was the highway bridge, and then the sign for Pohono Street confirmed it.

@ErikJonker He should start a submersible company. -.-

I hate to "well actually" this, but... I've seen eggs with orange yolks. Recently.

More to the point: some people are just terrible inside, although most people are not.

...but it remains true that you generally can't tell who the terrible people are just by looking at their outsides.

(...regardless of how much as the terrible people want you to believe you can.)

Sorry for the delay in approving your account, @joanluci! From my notes, it looks like I thought I already had... :blobcatupsidedown:

@yeongno @rysiek

I'm in Durham, NC -- working with a small distributed group which is currently mostly west-coast 😅 but I don't expect geography matters too much for most of this.

One of my long-term schemes for funding has been to re-open the online store I ran for several years (and still have tons of mostly-non-perishable stock for) -- but I'm getting tangled up in coding issues, it's a long autistic infodump... :blobcatupsidedown:

(added: "for funding" inserted belatedly, for clarity... and actually it could serve other community goals as well)

Engage. 🌌

@yeongno @rysiek

Great minds etc.

@devopscats The Sirius Cybernetics Corporation would like to have a word...

@elexia @gildilinie

Yes, yes... that clearly must be true... 😵‍💫

(I believe the neologism "lolsob" is appropriate here.)

@gildilinie LO's UI is better than MS Office, from what I can tell; sounds like an ideologue to me.

@rubenbolling It was entirely a bottom-line decision.

@thomasfuchs ...which is why I'm a little skeptical that the findings don't (iirc) show any negative impact. ...and I guess that was the proximate cause of your eyeroll? (hashtag finally-getting-it)

@brooke @rnd Him and his repulsive baby-food. Srsly.

@nikki

• move it closer so we can use it more efficiently
• turn it off at night, so as not to waste energy
• mine it for clean-burning hydrogen

@LIGO "Aww, you're no fun anymore." -- Monty Python

@rnd My take is that it's because the German "oe" doesn't exactly match any American phoneme -- and people who can't easily reproduce phonemes will tend to "round" it to whatever sounds closest. The ones that come to my mind would be "ghobels", "ghoobles", and "gherbels" -- with the last one sounding slightly closer, to my ear.

(caveat: I am not a linguist.)

@nikki It's gonna take billions of years to clean up the mess, though.

Clearly we need a green sun.
