@Tooch My first thought when I loaded the video "...Oh right, yeah, the xbox exists doesn't it? Forgot about that"

@kevinwhipwrecked psh, as if that bloviating jockstrap could master even his own piss

Reminder that (now) Professor Katherine L. Bouman led the development of the algorithm that captured our first picture of a black hole. She wrote a dissertation on taking pictures of black holes, she wrote software to take pictures of black holes, she was the person who named the algorithm based on her work, her name was first on the paper that described the algorithm, and then her software took a picture of a black hole.

She's not an astronomer, she's a computer scientist and electrical engineer, and she isn't a lone genius doing this in a garage, she's part of a global team of people from many different disciplines. There was a dozen people contributing code to the project. But she isn't a random team member that got attention because she was cute, she is in a very direct sense responsible for creating that picture, more than Elon Musk has ever sent a rocket to space or created an electrical car.

@finn @lawremipsum@mspsocial.net "mmh, quite a sweet one this, definite strong nose of honey, almost overpowering."

@codl why can i only read the phrase "Hello ____" in Dr Coomer's voice saying "Hello Gordon!"

@RC oh dang I've had the Coke energy drink and... it's...

...not horrible.

like I mean objectively energy drinks are all horrible and terrible things and most of them always taste awful too but... the coke one is dangerously tasty, you know? c_c;

@monorail @Alexis so you know, the original books are at least entertaining. the BBC Sherlock series is as if someone cosplaying as Sherlock Holmes wanted to prove that they were a genius of godlike proportions and wrote the episodes themselves with them as the author insert of sherlock

@monorail @Alexis I watched like the first season of it and was like "haha this is pretty neat I kinda like their take on it!" and... then it just... got worse. and worse.

and then I realised it had ALWAYS been that bad. after I read some of the original stories and I mean....

...friggin... Sherlock is still kinda a dick, but at least his deductions (technically actually INductive logic, not deductive? Apparently?) are set up well and shown to the readers, so they could conceivably work it out

@Alexis @monorail honestly all you have to do is add "and Sherlock comes in, does that Mind Palace bullshit, then exposits a bunch of stuff as to what the crime was, who did it and how, with clues that were NEVER SHOWN AT ALL before hand in this episode, and then sits smugly solving the case and being shit to everyone else" and boom episode of Sherlock, no matter the context.

i've never seen lord of the rings but i think one of the video clips we use for testing our broadcast hardware at work is from it

i'm currently watching watson from bbc sherlock beat up a big spider

@triz@skull.website ...?? *reads this toot several times... then blinks, then leans back and lets out a long groan before favving*

"yeah sex is neat and all but-"
"is it tho?"

"IS sex neat tho?"

"..."
"..."
*both pondering all options here*

@mavica fffuck. I know I posted on birdsite in agreement with this but goddamn this deserves mentioning again because FUCK there is nothin gbetter than tightening glasses, putting them back on and just... feeling the difference, not having wiggly floppy slidy frames any more

@GlitterDisaster is grump because up early or someone patted her head and made fun of her size and she's gonna nutpunch some dingus?

@noiob @Siphonay@octodon.social twitter vs telegram in a tournament to see who can murder image fidelity the most

@monorail How'd they manage to crack the barrier of having to do half-a-presses and building up speed for several years
