I have Baldur's Gate 3 downloading and somehow I am supposed to do 5-6 hours of work now and just, ignore that it's downloading

I was reading about the physics of sound waves on the Y.U. (Yale University) website, and it's absolutely fascinating. According to Haskins Laboratory, all sound can be described as a combination of pitch, which is measured in hertz (abbreviated Hz) and pressure, measured in either decibels or micro-pascals (abbreviated with the Greek letter mu-P). I prefer thinking about this in decibels, though, because I'm never gonna give Y.U. μP.

Your character tries the strange juice.

Lesser known pop music facts: The song "Nothing compares 2 U" is actually about the floating point value NaN.

i'm glad it's not the 19th century, because i am able to go on computer and shitpost with other weirdos. if it were 1860 there would be no computer, instead you'd have to read a book titled "a treasury of wisdom, wit, humor, and proverbs" and all the stuff in there would be like "if a woman gives you a watch-chain of horsehair, her father will surely receive you coldly unless you bring him a gift of marmalade" and i'd rather just get tuberculosis

"Emperor Georgiou has 4 tea services: the Uhura, Burnham, Georgiou and, for kids, the Tribble (named after the furry species.)

"Customers who show up in costume or even just wearing the insignia get a discount. And the owners say there have probably been more Trekkies coming through the doors than tea fans.

Hey, just a reminder about Mastodon: It's really irritating to read a long thread in which every post has a CW on it, but the Mastodon software anticipates this, and the thread view has a little eye icon up in the corner that will expand every post in the current thread all at once.

Night photography can be hard, especially when there is action; this is not improved when the photographer has had a few drinks and doesn't have a tripod.

Imagine my surprise when I see that this Samoan fireknife dance photo turned out this good all things considered!
