@freemo I was the HazMat/HazWaste guy for our plant, before it recently shut down. We were moving an R&D centrifugal compressor test stand across the country in pieces. It had 2 20ft cooling towers. They split them in half to get ready for trucking. They hadn't done any maintenance on it, because the entire building was no access, accept to the R&D engineers and myself (safety inspections). So when they split them apart, they found that pigeons had taken them over some time ago. Me and the other hazmat guy (my dad) were asked to clean them, as it's hazardous, and would give us a bonus. Had to be done in 24hrs. We stayed all day and night to get it done. I have never seen so much shit and bird carcasses in my life. I talked to the local HazWaste company, they said we saved them $50k-75k they would have charged, and it would have taken them a week. Attached is the 55gal drum of waste, ended up taking up 2 of them. (also, I didn't plan on expansion, was in a hurry, and the shit popped the seals of the drums, and I had to transfer into 3 55gal drums)

So it looks like the delisting might mean we arent even showing up on the official mastodon app for apple now.
Shame on you @Gargron you are a disgrace!
On the versioning of scientific publications
https://www.arthurperret.fr/blog/2022-11-16-du-versionnage-des-publications-scientifiques.html
For those who care attached are the screenshots of the nazi who was banned from QOTO some time back and started a hate campaign by pretending to be LGBTQ ally "calling us out" but just made up lies... he did this over the course of many months and ultimately is the source of the problems that snowballed and led to all this to begin with.
I will do a write up on this soon.
I say yay on @barefootstache, who was very welcoming when I joined recently.
We have a new applicant for a moderator position here. If anyone objects or wants to add their opinions, please reply here. Me and the other moderators will consider the communities input in deciding if we make them a moderator or not, thank you.
With the ever growing number of users and in the spirit of open source (FLOSS), one should contribute where one can. Thus I am allowing myself to be a moderator candidate after learning what the tasks are from @freemo.
For those who aren't familiar with me, I have been on this instance before the whole twitter migrations (this current one and the one back in April 2022) to be more precise since March 2021.
Currently I have been trying to help new comers familiarize themselves specifically with Mastodon (both mobile and desktop) and further the fediverse.
He posts this, but still no mention of our situation or any attempt to have a conversation on it... shameful.. seems he looks after his own ass, his own server, but really dont give a rats ass about when it hurts other instances.
