#BirdGlamour celebrates Audubon’s Oriole! This oriole calls Mexico and southern Texas home. Males and females look similar with yellow bodies and black heads. In fact, Audubon’s Oriole used to be called the Black-headed Oriole, but the males of three other oriole species have black heads. What common name would you use for Audubon’s Oriole for the American Ornithological Society's common name change? #BirdGlamourOfNorthAmerica #SciArt #SciComm #ScienceMUA

Dear fellow snow lovers, especially those of you in Germany: is there any chance of #snow around Christmas in #Sauerland? Doesn't need to be a lot. Or are we better off heading north?

If only we had KEPT our rail infrastructure in tact from back when highways and car-culture started.
In the rural place I presently live in Ontario, railway culture was a thing from 1870s to mid 1900s. Gradually car culture abandoned railways. ...now there's no rail, no buses, and a mutli-use trail where the main railway line used to be. There is no connection between towns/villages like there was in the past. No public transit out here.

an important reminder this holiday season: snowmen can only survive in cold weather. if you see a snowman wearing a knit cap, scarf, mittens, or other warming attire, that snowman is experiencing existential distress. that is a suicidal snowman.

The SS developed a system of murder at Auschwitz in which hope was employed as a crucial weapon. Jews deported to the camp were given false hope and promised new lives.

One of the most significant remnants of this are thousands of kitchenware items that were found at the site of the liberated camp. Today many of them are presented in our main exhibition.

Drogie i drodzy, ponieważ wygrałem w grę z moją kochaną rodziną, mam prawo wybrać restaurację, gdzie zjemy solidny obiad na koszt przegranych. Tym samym szukam jakiejś fajnej kuchni w Warszawie. Co możecie polecić? Najchętniej z kuchni bliskowschodniej, ale może być też:
- kreolska,
- bałkańska,
- brazylijska
- inna, jestem otwarty.

Zależy mi, żeby w knajpie były też jakieś opcje wege&wegan.

Boost, pls

We recently had foggy weather, and it made for a nice demo of how some lights shine a portion of their light uselessly towards trees and the atmosphere, and others shine downwards to the pathway.

Apparently the pet chip registry has been hacked.

I got porn random email to the unique address I use for it, along with most of the password, strangely missing the special characters. I'm guessing the special chars were removed to stop SQL injection.

Just my average Saturday afternoon in Suffolk! ✊🏿 🐾

If God wanted us to have unlimited free energy He’d have put a giant fusion reactor in the sky.

Teacher here.

My favourite “lesson” I ever gave was in a grade 9 technology class. It was a pretty small class, about 10 kids. I split them up into two teams and made a competition. They chose their own teams — it ended up being boys vs girls. I never would have made it that way on my own but that’s how it worked out.

The school had a bunch of old, decommissioned PCs that were headed to the junk yard. I sorted through all of them to get two exact sets of working parts for the competition.

The goal of the competition was to recover a jpeg from one of the hard drives. Each team had a computer with the ram removed and two hard drives. One was blank and the other had the jpeg on it. They also had a Linux Mint installer on a usb stick.

I don’t remember exactly how I had set it up but it was points based, something about getting to different stages first. Like 5 points to be the team that turns the computer on first. One of the big ones was that they got an extra 10 points if they did the whole thing without a mouse.

I told the other classes about the competition and asked some other teachers if it would be okay for them to watch and cheer on. It ended up being the nerdiest and most exciting class ever. Students were literally cheering each team through a Linux install. One team got stuck and had to pull out the mouse. There was booing. It was so epic.

The girls won, being the first to recover the jpeg and they did it all without a mouse. It was so awesome. The jpeg was the meme about how would a dog wear pants.

It was about 5 years ago, my first year teaching. I really miss those days. I only teach math now, and while I like that, there was something magical about showing kids how fun computers can be.
