I've been designing 3D-printed setting circles for my telescope. Sharing on the unlikely chance that it helps someone else with the same weird desire. https://t.co/osUnIrBX8p

Following @Leah_Sottile's suggestion of @deathwestpod, now I want an episode of @99piorg on the abandoned architecture of Butte, MT. @romanmars on the sixth floor of the Hennessy building pretty please?

@ThatAndromeda @mathyawp @MBarany As an aging (ex?)mathematician, I hope that @ThatAndromeda is right. I have a whole dotage to look forward to!

I got this in the mail today right after @romanmars told me to tweet him if I got it in the mail. Picture is me explaining "challenge coin" to 5/9/15-yo.

To hear many Democratic leaders tell it, ignoring Trump was the secret to their success in 2018, but the voter file data suggests otherwise. https://t.co/0qnc0u7Xr7

@zrail @Znarky mosh is a lifesaver for truly interactive things (like editing) on a remote host. CLI-only I prefer just ssh and tmux on the remote host (a must for reliability and persistence).
