On Tuesday, my colleague Loeka and I held a webinar explaining the science behind our Nachtlichter #CitizenScience app for the study of #LightPollution. We're going to put the video on YouTube, and we're also going to record an English version.

Are any of you interested in joining a live webinar (where you can ask questions afterwards)? Or should we just record it and put it on YouTube?

Po wczorajszej raczej deszczowej i wietrznej pogodzie, dzisiaj trochę spokoju i słońca. Czego i Wam życzę :)

W nocy mocno wiało i lało, ale przespałem to w suchym i ciepłym namiocie. A ranek wyglądał jak poniżej.

I hadn't intended to post a picture today but this one was fun. Second day of existence for the baby robins. If you look closely, you can see its tongue is shaped like a heart. #nature #birds

From yesterday evening's #DogWalkingGeology at Uisken: this quartz vein has been squeezed. On the left, where the strain was lower, it has just folded a bit, but to the right where the strain was higher, it has fractured into small blocks which have been stacked over one another. At the exterme right these blocks have been so sheared and rotated that they are almost parallel. #Moine #Folding #StructuralGeology

By 2024, the USB-C port will be mandatory for all portable electronic devices in the EU.

This means that you will soon be able to recharge most of your devices with the same charger, making piling up bundles of cables a thing of the past.

Not only will this make your life easier, but it will also reduce greenhouse gas emissions and e-waste.

Learn more about the common charger here: https://europa.eu/!hwjj3G

TFW a file format is so old that it includes an "insert paper tape this way" arrow as part of the header: Looks like this traces back to the PDP-11.

Wow, #Vice, that's an absolute shitshow of a "#privacy consent screen." 🤦‍♀️

It seems designed *specifically* to trick people to consent to things they might not want to. 👀

Settings in "User Consent" tab are "off", but there is a "Legitimate Interest" tab with the same settings turned on? The "User Consent" tab is displayed by default. It's easy for someone to think "oh, that's off, good" and hit "Save & Exit."

Obnoxious, manipulative dark pattern and a malicious implementation of GDPR! 😠

10 week old baby dies amidst whooping cough outbreak in Jerusalem. Neither baby nor mom vaccinated. Pertussis vaccination during pregnancy provides antibodies to baby after birth, helping to protect them before their first vaccine (generally at 2 months). https://m.jpost.com/health-and-wellness/article-747844

These horses are really lovely and you can stroke them. 🐎 🥰 💛

It occurred to me that there were two groups of people that came to Mastodon in November. The first thought Twitter was literally going to shut down and needed virtual methodone for their social media addiction. The second were users dissatisfied with what Twitter had become and jumped at an alternative. I believe it's the second group that have stuck around.

#WordyWednesday: Ptomaine 💨🤢🤮

Pronounced: toe-MAIN.

The unholy gang of nitrogenous stink compounds responsible for the indescribable stench of decomposing bodies. Found in decaying vegetable and animal matter and formed by the action of putrefactive bacteria.

Includes cadaverine and putrescine (the smell of putrefying flesh or rotting fish), indole (smells like mothballs), and skatole (smells like poop).

Other chemical compounds produce smells akin to rotting cabbage, nasty garlic, and rotten eggs. Ptomaine was originally thought to cause food poisoning but has been disproven.

Raise your hand if you've had this smell cling to your nose hairs after a long day at work! Semi-related, death workers deserve a raise.

Jestem absolutnie zaskoczony jak dużo miodu można zebrać z ledwo dwóch uli postawionych w przydomowym ogrodzie.
A jeśli dodać do tego, że pszczoła w czasie całego swojego życia przynosi do ula łyżkę miodu… WOW!

Na I Marszu Równości w Sanoku (w 2022 r.) było fantastycznie!

W tym roku pomaszerujemy 22 lipca. Zachęcam: przyjedźcie (najlepiej na kilka dni, nacieszyć się okolicą), a kto może, niech dorzuci też kilka złotych na organizację. Ja się znowu wybieram - choć z Warszawy kawał drogi, to warto. 🤩
