Achieving anything in life nowadays is 5% talent, 5% hard work and 90% not being distracted by the Internet.
I'm still floored by the idea, let alone the reality, that human beings have put technology onto Mars. That's an achievement.

@Surasanji i will contribute! this could be a great thing to kickstart a revolutionary collaboration! :)
So, we have a lot of very smart, educated people here at #QOTO . I was wondering if any of you would be willing to do something like an AMA/Essay about what you do, or at least an interesting something you're working on? Taking questions after you talk about your field? I know I'd really like to read something like that.

just wanting to let either @freemo or @hashtaggrammar know, the PeerTube instance has an expired cert if you guys didn't already. Sorry if this is old news to you. I'm trying to expand a profile up there, and I can't with Firefox screaming at me that the cert is expired, and it's not letting me add an exception for some reason.

"The absence of limitations is the enemy of art." That's how I justify refurbishing my little netbook running Xubuntu when I have at least three other faster systems with more resources.
Replaced the HDD with SSD. Upgraded from 1 GB to the maximum 2 GB RAM. (Woohoo!) New battery on the way.
I should be so much more creative now. Who needs a Core i7 and NVIDIA graphics when you've got a screaming Atom processor from 5 years ago?

@freemo I didn't understand your attachment to fountain pens. Then I encountered "how the ballpoint pen killed cursive" -- along with comparisons to fountain pens.

"A lifetime writing with the ballpoint and minor variations on the concept (gel pens, rollerballs) left me unprepared for how completely different a fountain pen would feel."

@Surasanji There are many mathematical tricks around this, but my favourite one is:
That one year, for me, living normally on earth, be counted in Neptune years.

Now onto more depressing news!
Rockets are again falling on Israel from the South. A lot of them. Since last night. They hit a bus that was thankfully empty.
Remember, these are dangerous explosive devices being fired indiscriminately into civilian centers. Very bad stuff.
I just saw one of the best handles for internet peoples I've ever seen:
OptimistPrime . I love it.

Poll: Majority of Democrats think Republicans are "racist," "bigoted" or "sexist"
Both parties think the other side is ignorant, spiteful and evil.
Both parties are being redefined around the extreme emotions shaping extremely ugly views of each other.

@Surasanji the question is, where is it coming from. I've seen a lot of crazy stuff here in this day and age, and I haven't a clue where most of it is generated from. People who have no scientific or any other background of Merit for that matter, we'll just say things, and become well-known by deceiving people.
