Quit a PhD in Physics to be a Software Engineer. Working on projects in ML and crypto. (she/her)

A left-handed person dating a right-handed person is peak romance, actually. You get to hold hands and still wield your swords properly while fighting side by side against your enemies.

I'm actually getting boggled at the repeat indications that people in the translation industry don't understand that 'bon appetit' in English is 'bon appetit'

Yesterday I took this photo of a really pretty tree and a bunch of teens saw me taking it and went, “Oooooh what a pretty tree! Did you get the shot? Is that pic everything you wanted?” and it rattled me to my core. Haven’t been bullied like that in person in years.

Earlier this week, we deployed ~12.99 pounds of sulfur dioxide (SO₂) into the stratosphere, including one launch that reached an altitude of 101,400 feet.

These deployments offset the warming effect of 5,895 metric tons of CO₂ for a year. In under three hours, we achieved the climate-cooling equivalent of planting 267,954 mature trees.

i’d read 400 pages of someone deciding to obsess over this excellent premise

[Crémieux @cremieuxrecueil]

This is an incredible quote, but what I was more shocked by was learning that it would only cost $24 billion to be prepared for ANY VIRAL PANDEMIC.

For a few pennies to the federal government, the U.S. could simply crush any new viral pandemic before it gets serious.

Anyway you all make it sound like it is some dubious hyperfine intellectual exercise in deduction rather than like being hit by a truck.

@PrivateTom69 Thanks for the nice words but I have to say, bruh, external changes straight up solve the internal problem. We wouldn't do the external changes if they didn't help solve the internal problem

It was shot on location, on the Planet of the Apes. How did they even get there? Wait. Oh my god. OH MY GOD

Matt clearly has not been paying attention to electrical and computer engineers

“How is Tokyo addressing its housing crisis?”
“We don’t have one. We build homes.”
“Do you discourage techies from moving into town?”
“Techies live in homes so we build homes.”
“How do you deal with Chinese speculators?”
“Build homes.”
“But earthquakes and ocean!”
“Build homes.”

I looked at the rate of gunshot wounds to the head before and after buying a house. The fraction of people who bought a house after getting shot in the head was 0%, but the fraction who did so before was higher. I conclude that buying a house increases your risk of getting shot.

[QuoProQuid @TNOQuoProQuid]

at a certain point, i feel like if you go to the oracle of delphi and don't question the tortured phasing, that's on you

"if you go to war, a great empire will be destroyed." like, okk, if you're deploying passive voice like that im going to assume im the great empire. idiot.

Remember this guy (Harrison Okene) a cook who got trapped on the seafloor at 30m for three days, just learned he went on to become a commercial saturation diver trained by the man who rescued him

[Fake History Hunter @fakehistoryhunt]

This made me laugh, then think and now my head hurts.

[Catherine David @miscatulated]

@slucy Yeah but the 1000 level would ratchet down over time right? So you’d have to spend down or else have it be taxed instead of spent?
