Lol the Wi-Fi on this bus is adult blocked so I can’t do the promo toots for this evening. If you can get porn on your phone/laptop feel free to go to https://www.girlonthenet.com/audio-porn, pick a piece of guest audio and do your own toot then tag me in. I’ll retweet you, and this way essentially outsource the only bit of my job I actually needed to do today. #Capitalism
What could be better than experiments in space? Experiments on the Moon!
#OTD in 1971, Apollo 15 astronaut David Scott performed his feather and hammer experiment on the Moon, demonstrating that without air resistance all objects fall at the same rate. https://go.nasa.gov/47cbHuk

NPR: A term coined to evoke the torment felt by soldiers as they process the cruelty of war, it's now used by doctors to describe the guilt and helplessness we feel when patients can't access needed care.#news #NPR https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2023/08/02/1191446579/doctors-have-their-own-diagnosis-moral-distress-from-an-inhumane-health-system
@sarajw This blows my mind. Imagine making infrastructure so car dependent that you make walking illegal.
Więc mówisz, że kiedyś w komiksach nie było polityki (i tego całego woke)? [Epizod 37]
A pamiętasz, jak w 1973 roku na drodze miłości czarnoskórej pielęgniarki i białego lekarza stanęły uprzedzenia ze strony ich rodzin i znajomych (a historię tę opublikowano w roku, w którym, według sondaży Instytutu Gallupa, związki małżeńskie między białymi i niebiałymi popierało tylko 29% Amerykanów)?
"Young Romance", nr 194., DC Comics.

I heard a confession from a friend the other day who's working on ML in health care, who's leaving that field as soon as he can, because as best as he and his team can measure, the most important thing ML analytics can bring to hospitals is the mathematical certainty they should have taken the money they spent on ML analytics and hired nurses instead.
Whoever's been doing rain dances lately, you can stop now. No, seriously, you really can stop now. ;)

The #Twitter app updating its branding to #X prompted me to open it for the first time in ages. What struck me is quite how much of #climate Twitter (individuals and institutions) is all still there, tweeting away like it’s 2021. For all the #Guardian and #BBC articles flapping over how much the site is in decline, you wouldn’t know it from my feed over there.

As someone who has more lids than containers and yet still manages to also have containers lacking lids, I would totally attend that event.
Talking to first-time conference attendee who's nervous about social interactions.
My strategies:
1)Line up for coffee, say hi to person behind you. Where are you traveling from? or What do you work on? Safe Qs
2)Patrol posters. ALWAYS someone at poster hoping for interest. It's win-win!
3)Attend networking events, They're made to help you connect!
4)Scan the periphery, where other newbies lurk.
5)Review & adhere to code-of-conduct, get help if someone gets creepy.
And 6)Don't be creepy.
Some remote capture experiments .... and I learned some things. 1 & 2: Gray Catbird, 3: a molting female N. Cardinal, 4: scurrying chipmunk.
Next time:
- I could use a lens with a smaller field of view.
- Arrange the camera and scene such that critters of interest will be on a similar plane, to avoid refocusing.
All Nikon z6ii, 32.00mm, remote capture with CamRanger mini.

Just received word that a publication I've been working on for a decade now was finally accepted, and to a great journal nonetheless. It was the final chapter of my dissertation and one of those projects that was always on the back burner, but I'm happy to finally get it across the finish line. #Academia #ScienceMastodon
Wiedząc, w jak dramatycznej są sytuacji, walczyli z nazizmem i faszyzmem. Za wolność naszą i Waszą. Powstankom i powstańcom należy się szacunek i pamięć.
Cześć i chwała bohaterom i ofiarom!

My account on Twitter is still up, for good reasons. https://twitter.com/szescstopni
I check facts before I toot.
I sometimes toot in Polish.
