I'm on annual leave from work and wanted to spend some time tinkering on stuff just for fun. This afternoon I dusted off my ROS2 skills by working through the first week of the Become a Robotocist in 28 days course. Got the autonav sim running in Gazebo/rviz using Jazzy. #ros2

@lastwarsurvival Game updated now it crashes on start up. No splash screen. Nothing. App is up to date in App Store. No other apps running. iPhone 17 Pro Max. Please patch. Im sure my base is on fire, teleported away and all my troops are dead 🤯🤬😭

Dear Mr @elonmusk
I’d like to help one of our local space observatories with creating a new exhibit to help boost interest in engineering and space careers for school kids. Got a busted satellite or piece of old rocket you could donate?
Happy to trade equal weight in Vegemite!

@perthnow I registered for presale and was on the website watching the countdown. Immediately joined the queue as soon as the countdown finished and the site allowed me and had over 97,000 people in the queue ahead of me. Waited almost an hour to book tickets and nothing available!

@AlexAtkins17 @EngAustralia @ATSE_au @TheAusIMM Whaaaaat????? That makes zero sense. First hand, lived experiences are the most valuable contributions to any forum.

Gold just pushed through USD$2000/oz. Wow! Has this happened before?

@swinsea @ALIAGraphic @TheCBCA @AllenAndUnwin @01FirstSecond @FierceReads Way to go!

I've just published over 20 hours of tutorials and live coding showing how to: install python the right way; set up a terminal; write shell scripts; use vim; use a remote Jupyter server; use git, github, tmux, and ssh; use the python debugger; and more! 🧵

Sometimes I teach thousands of students at a time, a few hundred in my lecture theater, and the rest streaming live around the world. I *really* need to know if they're following along.

Now I can, thanks to our new free service, "fastcups".

3 out of 5 people in my house currently have COVID. I am isolating with them as a close contact but still negative. Dodge this! 🤣

Love what #keithurban just said on the #TheVoice Australia tonight - “It’s not what happens to you that matters, it’s what you do with it”.
