This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

Still a lot of jiggle since the pipes have some gaps. But it was a fun project!

I used to take a lot of notes on #keep or #evernote which included picture. For instance, take a picture of a place or a presentation and add some notes.

Now that I'm moving to #emacs and #orgmode + #orgroam I'm wondering if someone has a workflow for doing this.

every 3-4 years when they are cleaning it the authorities allow visitors into the #lodz waterworks.
They are pretty fussy about security (I guess rightly so) but they do allow pictures.
