Card-carrying generalist. Wearer of many hats. Unabashedly nerdy. I have no idea what I'm doing.

@tekwendell Confirming that USB-C into DP adapter (a simple one) is still compatible with MST hubs running multiple 4k60 displays!

[Karl Gumerlock @merkuron]

@tekwendell What I figured, but I’d appreciate even just a functionality test. Trying to see if a 2xDP 1xUSB-C card can do the same that a 3xDP card does, cabling notwithstanding.

Life irony: rat in engine bay eviscerated by serpentine belt. The serpent also perished.

Something AI will probably never match: the highly-developed, finely tuned cluster of neurons in my brain that is uniquely capable of identifying vacant parking spaces from afar.

The on-campus burger joint, year after year, has a playlist/station of hits that were released when I was an undergrad. I knew this was going to happen at class reunions, but now I can go at any time to enjoy my lunch in a time warp, too.

I saw this article on a slapping competition in Russia: https://t.co/BA7tex4a4n which may be a case of life imitating art: https://t.co/v2Mr3Sp4Bp (a commercial I first saw during the Dot-Com boom). Or, is art imitating life?

Happy to provide some science-y inspiration for the title to this awesome mix!

It's not quite as epic as the version used in the trailer for @TheOrville season 2 (notably, it's missing the harmonic march), but @Stanford friends, it's what is given to us. Thanks @The_Superhuman_ ! https://t.co/w3LDQFDgjM

@BluemarsEchoes I just found your site and Cryosleep is my favorite Internet radio station, ever! Thanks for keeping it alive and (not) beating!

[Karl Gumerlock @merkuron]

@TheOrville do you think it'd be possible to license your epically awesome cover of "All Right Now" used in the trailers to @Stanford @StanfordFball for fight song use in videos? Asking for a friend. #NerdNation #AllRightNow

@LCLS_alanfry @SLAClab @NationalMagLab @symmetrymag It really was a lot of fun rooting for #TeamPhoton today. @MikeDunne9, can we do this on a regular basis?

Also, where was @SLAClab?

"Even if it makes me blind
I just wanna see the light
Breathing, leave it all behind
I just wanna see the light"

@sanholobeats drops a wicked deep bass line in reverence of #GLORIOUSPHOTON. Fermions, what's your anthem?

Seriously, neutron, what makes a particle turn neutral? Lust for gold? Power? Or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality?

Who ever heard of a frickin' shark with a frickin' neutron beam attached to their head? GLORIOUS COHERENT PHOTONS give lasers their plot-advancing abilities. #GloriousPhoton #TeamPhoton #ChooseLight #SubatomicSmackdown @datXLR8Rtho @SLAClab @MikeDunne9 @LCLS_alanfry

My wavelength brings all the moths to the flame,
And they’re like, it’s brighter than y’are,
Damn right, it’s lighter than y’are,
I could teach you, but to accomplish the same thing you’d just have to make more of me.
