Retired Chem/Physics/Earth Sciences teacher. I'm interested in everything.
I like a good debate that introduces me to other perspectives. I don't waste much time with people who devolve to name-calling or insults, aside to call them out on it.
I think society performs at its best when we take care of others, especially the weakest among us. That means a strong social safety net, with "free" healthcare, education, and public transit. It's a dream, I know.
30+ years of explaining stuff to teenagers has left me with some habits... I'm not a mansplainer, but I *do* like to find ways to 'splain stuff to receptive ears 😊
I like dogs, cats, and astronomy pictures with a bias towards the shorter wavelengths (kinda leaves out all those lovely Hα pics 😄).
The first thing I look at when shopping for cars is headroom/legroom. Saves a lot of time.

For Android users (no idea about i0s) if you select a word and then press shift it cycles through:
hello
Hello
HELLO
Thought you might like to know that.

@noisyastronomer …Especially easy to forget when the attack is hitting. I also had to convince myself that it would actually work - Very hard to imagine that calm state when you’re all 😖
Hope your day got better 😊

@noisyastronomer Been there… I used to have the odd one as I was getting ready for work. Meditation worked wonders for me, like changing the channel.
Anyway, I hope you find peace today.

If you see this toot (yeah this one right here), can you boost it for me? It will help my new server federate with the wider Mastodon network. 🚀 🙏
@OkieSpaceQueen …And that’s when you pull out Stellarium 😄
The 8-minute delay is because we’ll have to get Bob to move his car out of the way
@kevpluck This is like one of those cards that says, “how to keep an idiot busy, turn over,” isn’t it? 😄
@Middleway @freemo I think it was the character limits that sold me. I’m long-winded 😄

@Mastodon @NFB @Misshavisham Hooray for the NFB! Was just watching some of their vintage films about Ottawa last night.
*Amazing* sunset tonight… My camera was having trouble with the dynamic range. This picture *almost* does it justice 😊
@BrownKnowser Plus, I imagine they’d want to stay competitive with Shoppers.
@chrislewislee Followed! I like.
