I really hate puns about elements in the periodic table...

They should Barium.

Have to say I'm encouraged how even after Republicans cheering on a year of Putin's systematic raping and pillaging, most Americans still recognize evil.

This is my viewing setup, by the way.

One monitor to watch, one to toot, one for any research needed, and an extra in case things get really heavy.

Brand new instance, brand new #Introduction! I’m the author of the Galactic Cold War series of #scifi spy novels, the most recent of which is THE NOVA INCIDENT. (https://dmoren.com/writing/galactic-cold-war/)

I’m also a #technology journalist: I write regularly at Six Colors (https://sixcolors.com) and have a weekly column at Macworld.

And I also do a ton of #podcasts on technology and pop culture, including @rebound, @clockwise, and several shows at @incomparable.

@ScottSoCal @dabertime That's probably for the best. If you did you might be responsible for changing the future, and that never turns out well.

Annoying birds 4. About to prune this bush to stop it poking me in the eye when I get into my truck and found myself eyeball to eyeball with this. Very small, I think a Zebra dove. Sitting on the flimsiest nest imaginable. I tried to get it to agree a deal: I leave it alone if it stops using my truck as a toilet. A very nice page on them here https://rcannon992.com/2013/12/25/zebra-doves-an-appreciation/

@ScottSoCal Your first sentence is true and complete as it stands, and I agree that that's how to compute a point that we subsequently call the ortho-centre.

But see my original post. It assigns a meaning to each of the in-centre, out-centre, and centroid.

So what does the ortho-centre mean? Which of these can be completed:

The Ortho-Centre minimises XXX

The Ortho-Centre maximises YYY

Does that make sense?

1) Right now I am warm and cozy in my bed
2) My belly is full enough that I am not hungry or thirsty
3) I am not alone in the bed and I am loved
4) The Chinese Spy Balloon is no longer taunting me

@therobburgessshow Audiobooks! You can listen online. The books I listened to for Black History month (so far) wouldn't be available in Florida

Europe must show resolve and vision in the context of the brutal Russian war of aggression against Ukraine.

Ukraine has irreversibly chosen a European path that its European partners have accepted.

Now is the time to move from words to deeds.

“Very funny, Jesus. Give it back.”

Is there a US attorney who would be willing to donate some time to draft a volunteer moderator agreement for a Mastodon instance?

Also, are any other instance admins willing to share your agreement if you have one? I don’t know if this is standard practice, but seems like a good idea when granting access to user data.

I found something similar from Stack Overflow for reference: https://stackoverflow.com/legal/moderator-agreement
