yes but i'm spacing my meltdowns between here and mastodon so i don't look as unhinged as i actually am

It Was on Your Table Every Morning Growing Up. It’s Dying Before Our Eyes. No One Wants to Face It. The powerhouse of American citrus is suffering a brutal decline. Everyone has a theory about why.

how a toxic mix of glyphosate, climate change worsened weather, deregulation, and property development, has caused the Florida orange harvest to decline 95%! from 2003

Florida oranges may soon be a memory.

It's time for the Newton to make a Comeback

brb, writing a pleading, begging letter to a sympathetic eurocrat. please, sir, the children yearn for TRRS

if i am honest unless the new guy comes out and says "we're bringing back the headphone jack" we are still a long way from the de-iveification of apple

i am glad these small ipads exist but i personally require a tiny phone

i really hope the new apple guy has relatively tiny hands and we start to go back to normal sized phones

reading that the new apple guy was in hardware and withholding judgment until i can work out exactly how responsible he was for the butterfly keyboard and touch bar

The first panel shows a crow with the title "How to live a good life". The second panel shows a crow cawing at itself in the mirror with the subheading "Make friends". The next panel says "Explore" and shows a crow looking into a commercial waste bin. The next says "Try new things" with a crow eating something vile. The next one says "Be curious" and shows the crow grabbing a hissing cat's tail". The final frame says "Get a hobby" and shows the crow looking closely at a book of matches.

How To Live A Good Life #oldknees

reading this as a jenny holzer truism

i am looking forward to having a normal one this week, thank you all for your cooperation in this matter

got reprinted and saw a cheap ish copy

in some work call in the future, i will be asked for a random number and yes the book will be dragged out

but i currently work with the sort of people who will rightfully ask "if you just flick to a page, is that actually uniform ?"

i'm pretty sure i have the knuth book which says "no" too

to be clear this isn't a bit. i did want this as a teen. my sixteenth birthday present was "applied cryptography" i have always been like this

you can just buy the things you wanted as a teenager heh

(if you have disposable income yes yes i get it, i'm not allowed subtext)

photo of a book: a million random digits with 100,000 normal derivatives, rand corporation, 2nd edition

new book arrived, and similarly, my mentions also come in a 10:1 randoms to deviants ratio

the best thing about this bridge is you can take a selfie from any angle without worrying about gimbal lock

ah, mondays

hey from the birthplace of logarithms

i simply run all ai criticism through chatgpt and tell it to agree with me

good morning

mathematics is the language of nature [clint mansell intensifies]

suffering from digital echolalia as mastodon users explain my own posts back to me, as if i've just had a TBI and awoken with no knowledge of my own posts

and honestly that sounds pretty great, maybe i can get an impact driver on prime

as i understand it, you can turn off replies and quotes, but not retweets

you are right in that there's a healthier network out there but i don't know if vrchat is the right one for me

if you are about to play the stupid game of "ah but what if i ironically retweet this" you will likely end up winning the stupid prize of "i will ironically block you"

there's a youtube video out there missing out on your wit and insight

my life would be 5000% times better if i could prevent people retweeting/boosting my posts

"but what about screenshotting" there is a thing called a 'barrier to entry' so it would actually have to be a post worth repeating

plus, i don't get notifications from screenshots, or replies. win-win
