Apollo 13 astronaut Jim Lovell has passed at 97 www.nasa.gov/news-release... One of my early young journalist memories was getting to interview him and Ron Howard on a red carpet in Austin for a screening of Apollo 13. I bragged about it for a while! (I'm the mop of brown curly hair)

Internet user whose computer is possessed by a demon: yeah so there's teeth coming out of the CPU socket and the graphics card fans start saying "hail satan" when temperatures are over 70 degrees Linux Guy: You should install Linux.

Because 2025 = 45² and 45 is a triangle number, we get these lovely sums: 2025 = (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9)² 2025 = 1³ + 2³ + 3³ + 4³ + 5³ + 6³ + 7³ + 8³ + 9³ Pleasingly the next triangle number 55 is 10 more, so get ready for a repeat of this fact in the year 3025.

Now that we're upon another year, here's the kind of humour that absolutely killed 100 years ago

The super solar flare will speed up the reversal of Earth's magnetic poles and that's why everyone will float away into space. #TheMayansWereOffBy13Years

web developers are getting too cocky. if visiting your `.png` URI doesn't give me the raw bytes of a png image and nothing else, your balls should explode if you don't have balls, you grow balls that immediately explode

MERRY SNIFFMAS!!! 🐾

The physics of a spinning dreidel is quite a bit different in the microgravity environment of the International Space Station, as demonstrated by astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli. 🧪

The age of the universe one really puts into perspective how much a petabyte really is.

Gentle reminder: Mass of Earth: 6 ronnagrams (Rg) Mass of the Sun: 2000 quettagrams (Qg) Age of the universe: 430 petaseconds (Ps) Distance to Andromeda galaxy: 22 Zettameters (Zm) SI units are easy. Really. 🔭

Computer started boot looping failing to post with the code 5C. I looked it up. It doesn't exist. 20 minutes of searching later I figured I'd do one more futile attempt at booting it before opening it tomorrow. It boots perfectly fine. I guess gamblers really do give up right before the big win.

It's a classic Shen

"number of code changes submitted is very important" well, I could do this in one totally reasonable change, or I could do it in three play stupid performance evaluation games, win stupid prizes

Finally switched over to using my domain.

I have to repost a classic.

Between the shutdown, the drones, and them perp walking Luigi like he’s the goddamn Joker, I think it’s clear the writers are officially out of ideas and are just grabbing whatever was left in the cutting room floor.

My dog explaining to me why he ate the bee:

📢 1.96 is rolling out now (3/6) If you change your bsky.social username to your own domain, your old username will now be reserved for you! Only your most recent `.bsky.social` username is reserved, and it does not expire. bsky.social/about/blog/4...

Windows decided my microphone's audio sounds better at 16%, completely ruining my audio setup and making it impossible to hear me.

I wish I could use a domain handle but have an @bsky.social handle as reserve. I have a domain but can't just give up the fancy 4 letter, and if I ever use and lose the domain I wouldn't be able to go back.

@jackmth.ws one of my lists thinks you might be famous.

My son is about a year into his Geometry Dash addiciton and what I have learned from it is that Geometry Dash people are INSANE.

The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

they WEREN'T?
