I wanted to write something like, "oh you don't say" but this is *actually* a brutal read

Die drei Stufen der sog. Eigenverantwortung:

1. Ich mache nichts, es gibt ja noch nicht mal eine Empfehlung.
2. Ist ja nur eine Empfehlung, so wichtig ist das offensichtlich nicht.
3. Ich lass' mir doch nichts vorschreiben.

Bei Menschen mit überstandener #COVID19-Infektion werden #Autoimmunerkrankungen häufiger diagnostiziert als in einer Kontrollgruppe ohne dokumentierte COVID-19-Infektion. Das ergeben Analysen umfangreicher Krankenversicherungsdaten.

College essay assignment: use ChatGPT to write an essay on the following topic. Print it out and, by hand, grade and critique the essay, showing where it is wrong(based on what we’ve learned in class), inadequate or where the writing is clichéd or otherwise less than excellent human quality.

Love this Axios Visuals look at the evolution of pickup trucks and their popularity in the US (and how they are used for shopping / daily driving much more than hauling boulders) . This view of the inversion of the ratio between cab and cargo bed tells the story. https://www.axios.com/ford-pickup-trucks-history

Reflecting back on things certain people told me were dangerous. Rock music. Dungeons & Dragons. LGBTQ+ peeps. Drag Queens. Immigrants. CRT. Black Lives Matter. Vaccines.

Some of y’all are just scared & constitutionally wrong. Grow up. Contribute, rather than sowing fear.

The best moment! @biorxivpreprint

I guess the engineers who built my dishwasher MIGHT have some insight into how to load it, but instead of reading the booklet they gave me, it seems easier to experiment for years and then get in arguments so heated that I get banned from Quora.

Reported that 3-per-week Brussels-Vienna Nightjet set to become daily from Dec 2023, combined with new daily Nightjet from Brussels to Berlin (in addition to European Sleeper's new train, so yes, TWO sleeper trains Brussels-Berlin!).

Existing 3-per-week Paris-Vienna Nightjet (often fully-booked weeks ahead) is also set to become daily, combined with a new daily Nightjet from Paris to Berlin, swapping portions with the train from Brussels in Germany (2 origins & 2 destinations forming an X).

“The apparent exodus is a shock to the academic system that some researchers didn’t see coming but that others say has been palpable for quite some time — and is a trend only set to continue. ‘The majority of senior academics still don’t understand how fast this is coming,’ says Daniel MacArthur, a population geneticist at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Sydney, Australia.

“Early-career scientists are not missing a beat, however.”

If you’re at the right place at the right time, with the right equipment, this is possible.

Last night, with guidance from https://transit-finder.com/, I positioned myself along the narrow line where the International #SpaceStation would pass between me and the nearly full moon.

I used a Fujifilm X-T4 shooting 4K video through a Celestron 8” SCT to capture the pass. Then, back at the computer this morning, put together these views with PIPP, Registax, and GIMP.

Quite pleased. My best yet.

"I don't have time for a deep read so perhaps I am missing something."

Put this on my gravestone.

@SexyCyborg
Even in the US, which effectively committed to that repeated suffering very early, people still don’t understand that that is what they’ve been committed to.

The human capacity to willfully not understand is remarkable.
