Many interactions on mastodon are like:

Me: Wow, my microwaved popcorn was too hot and I burnt my tongue!

Responder A: You could maybe put the popcorn inside a bucket made of ice to quickly cool it.

Me: I don't want to do that and I also don't have any buckets made of ice.

Responder B: A bucket of ice can be made by putting water between an inner form and an outer form and freezing it.

Me: Ok, but I don't want to do that and it would also take many hours to freeze the water. I am eating popcorn right now.

Responder C: Liquid nitrogen will freeze water in as little as a few seconds and can be purchased at many welding-gas suppliers

@rolle ourasta huomasi hyvin kuinka sydän pumppaa verta ruuansulatukseen niin että pulssi laskee tasaisesti kohti normaalia pitkin aamuyötä. Siis jos ennen nukkumaanmenoa söi. Syvät unet mulla sattui siinä 00-02. Eli jos sattui tuohon kohti, se niistä syvistä unista. Varmaan toki vaikuttaa miten raskasta ja paljonko puputtaa. Ja yksilöstä, mulla näin.

Anyone I know in Victoria using Fizz Mobile?
Do you have any feedback?
Anyone would you like to share a referral code?

@futurebird I meet different groups of 30-60 people once a year at conferences. If they send round a group photo afterwards, I try to make notes and match names/conversations to faces. It sometimes works. If not, I'm fine with asking for a reminder (preferably not more than once per meeting...)

At more "business networking" events, I sometimes ask if I can take a photo of a new-to-me acquaintance with their name badge 🤷‍♀️

@thetyee probably the only good thing to come out of this election. I can only imagine what she could've done with even a minority coalition agreement with the NDP.

The logo for Sun Microsystems was amazing

A long time supporter of the fine arts, the French government distributed thousands of mobile blank canvases for aspiring abstract expressionists!

@joao Ya!

Os protestos de luta que levaram a que fosse possível haver o direito de sindicatos na policia e manifestações de policias também eram todos ilegais.

Até um tribunal ter dito que o caso era demasiado complexo para julgamento sumário.

A memória do secos e molhados evaporou--se

@swope

I can get photos from the yearbook.

If I didn't have that I'd insist on taking group photo on the first day of class I think. I need to know all of their names somehow.

We called and there are *so many* authors participating. I have never gone through an automated phone directory that had multiple pages. We ended up listening to Monique Gray Smith (local fave) and Kai Cheng Thom

@futurebird tbf they named us and should know

Can we just take a moment to appreciate that Static Site Generators are FUCKING AWESOME.

Jekyll, Pelican, Hugo, Sphinx, MkDocs, Zensical. Whatever, pick one; they're a honkin' great idea. One of the better ideas we've had in the last 20 years.

oooh, this is so cool, you can see the marcescence in the autumn leaves in infrared! Healthy leaves are bright pink, while withering leaves are golden-yellow, as they reflect less IR.

The last photo is an un-edited crop directly from the camera, you can see how most leaves are more blue than pink. The blue channel of that camera captures just IR, while the others capture IR + their respective colour, resulting in more blue -> more IR. #photography #infrared

I really like internet memes, and this one definitely made me smile 🙂

It probably overestimates my role and should encourage more people to support open-source projects, particularly @thephpf, which handled the two recent critical security vulnerabilities exceptionally well by preparing patches, including for older, unmaintained versions, and by communicating with package maintainers in the distributions (like @ondrej and me), and by providing information to users.

I also picked up this book from the local book store today. Looking forward to reading this one, as it is written by a local author from up island, not far from where I grew up. <3

(comment on Plant Teachings from My Auntie)

@shinmera Love the "Attempted murder" and "Have you tried screaming" ones. The rest are nice too but those made me smile. And never enough pins while the weight is manageable.

Claro que não recebeu denúncias de novos casos. Para quê? Quem nomeia investigadores, seleciona casos, regateia indemnizações, protege os criminosos e vê os crimes arquivados, enquanto nega, minimiza e desvaloriza abusos e abusadores, é isso mesmo que pretende: acabar com as denúncias.
