I care about doing research right, disability rights, 2E kids, SFF, music & much more. Biostatistician doing pediatric HIV clinical trials, previously psychiatry research. Life's too short to specialize.

@universalhub.com Have you decided to stop allowing comments on the French Toast system? I do see ones from this year.

Also, could you please add the French Toast system to bksy, not just Xitter? Even if snow from a blue sky is oxymoronic?

Thanks!

It's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports. I was diagnosed at 30 because a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child.

It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

Such joy seeing science nerding for SFF!
Science Bluesky, I need a question answered that is not yielding to Google!

Can you carbon-14 date an alien?

Because I know it requires nitrogen-14 in the upper atmosphere and if the alien homeworld doesn’t have the same nitrogen content…?

Moonrise over Logan tonight. Full moon is technically tonight, but it happens just 12 minutes before midnight. So tomorrow night's 99% illumination will be practically identical, just on the other side of sunset.

This was at 6:07pm - about 5 minutes before sunset and 12 minutes after the moon rose.

This was our experience last weekend trying to re-animate a printer that had been disconnected by the house painters.
History students are often disappointed when they learn why the AI take-over failed. They were defeated by human resistance, which was kept alive by libraries and old paper books, and a surprising machine ally.

Books had not been replaced, because even the mightiest AI could not make printers work.

My guess is that it's the extra publicity from the announcement of the Hugo winners since that also listed all the shortlisted works and non-voters may not have seen those lists.

A reminder alert popped up.

"Oh," the Supervisor said, "it's time to check in on Sol-3 again. Szrpt, can you handle that?"

Szrpt bowed a frond. "Yes, of course."

"Don't forget to reset the killer asteroid if the sapients pose no threat."

"Once!" Szrpt bristled. "I only forgot that once!"
