@bored_nerds @konstructivizm Totally real. They take pictures at different wavelengths with filters. Then they stack those images on top of each other, combining them into an image that helps us to see structures we might not see with the naked eye alone.

@tacticalwedgie @konstructivizm It is the kind of figure you get by combining an estimated galaxy mass with assumptions about what fraction of that mass is in stars and what the average star weighs.

@SpotifyCares That fixed it. BUT, today, 5 days later, the app won't connect to your servers to play anything. Even the Home page won't load. Force quit, cleared cache, restarted the phone. Tried cellular instead of WiFi. Nada.

[The Tobraham™ @Tobraham]

@SpotifyStatus can't play any music right now on Android. Uninstalled, reinstalled, rebooted. Graphics and text load but pressing play does nothing. Been about 12 hours now. Issues?

[The Tobraham™ @Tobraham]

@SpotifyCares The only option in the store is the beta. I think it's going to be that way while I'm stuck in beta mode.

[The Tobraham™ @Tobraham]

@SpotifyCares I can't seem to un-enroll from the beta.

@SpotifyCares 9.1.56.571

@Rewkang Why does it have to be humanoid? Can't we have useful robots that are stable, have fewer moving parts, and less number crunching just to move across the room?

@SpotifyCares This little guy works and I can scroll song to song using that. But I can't play an actual song or podcast no matter what. Is there a different server hosting the full files...?

[The Tobraham™ @Tobraham]

@SpotifyCares None of that helped. Playlist previews work - that little canvas that shows 30 second previews in a list.

[The Tobraham™ @Tobraham]

The new beta logo for @Spotify is a hot mess. Supposed to be a green disco ball, but just looks like a dark blob. Good logo design dictates it should scale well, and this just gets worse as it shrinks down. Needs less minuscule details, brighter cooler, and more contrast.

[The Tobraham™ @Tobraham]

@aaronp613 Looks like a hot mess the smaller it gets. This showed up on my Android last week.

[The Tobraham™ @Tobraham]

@ScienceNews Mac and cheese it is, then.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama Receives Grammy Recognition Highlighting Universal Responsibility and Compassion

Grammy Award Best Audiobook Narration - Meditations: The Reflections of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

I receive this recognition with gratitude and humility. I don’t see it as something personal, but as a recognition of our shared universal responsibility. I truly believe that peace, compassion, care for our environment, and an understanding of the oneness of humanity are essential for the collective well-being of all eight billion human beings. I’m grateful that this Grammy recognition can help spread these messages more widely.

@DUmeora @SpotifyCares @Spotify Have you tried this yet?

[The Tobraham™ @Tobraham]

Having an Uber Geek moment on orbit; I took a Teflon knitting needle and got charged water drops to orbit around it.

@EvanKruegel please see my comment to 9News below. The law would not wipe out 95% of that gun store's inventory, as it wouldn't affect most handguns. This a misread of the bill.

@KyleClark @9NEWS
Your story on the new banned semiauto guns bill is inaccurate, as were the exaggerated comments from the gun store you featured in your story. The bill clearly states it only applies to "gas-powered" pistols, which eliminates most standard pistols.

[The Tobraham™ @Tobraham]

@KyleClark @9NEWS Will do. 9News also ran a video story based on the same report on the evening news slots.
