Greetings and salutations my fellow humans.

New to this. Excited to try it

Violet wants a treat SO BADLY!

Asked my friend who's life he'd live if he could live any life throughout history. He replied "That rat that died from pressing the dopamine button too many times".

I was trying to explain to a friend in lamens terms why dark matter is so hard to detect while other weakly interacting particles were a bit easier (like neutrinos). It all comes down to mass.

If you could only interact with an object by blowing on it (an analogy for weak interactions) you could easily influence a fast moving feather (an analogy for a light neutrino). However if it were a bowling ball you can blow on it all you want and it wouldn't be effected at all (an analogy for Dark Matter).

Hey there #Qoto and #mastodon !

Hope you're all having a fantastic day! Lovely blue skies here in Tel Aviv, a day I'm wishing I could lay out in the sun and just enjoy it. I've got work, unfortunately, but that can be nice, too.

So, #RandomQuestion for today is as follows:

What is a combination of foods you've discovered that maybe isn't standard and might sound a little odd. You gotta love it, though.

I've got a thing for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on toast with hot sauce.

So, the holiday is over now. Radios are reawakening, local televisions are resuming broadcast. Buses and cars are running on the streets instead of children.

Until next year, Yom Kippur.

Btw, here are my dogs.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. People with down syndrome are so unashamedly loving that they aren't the one with the problem, they aren't the ones with the disorder, we are.

I can't decide which password manager to use. Should I use Keepass, Bitwarden or pass? They all seem like good candidates with different merits... For now I think I'll go with pass because there's a really nice dmenu script for it that makes it easy to use in any type of application.

Just noticed I hit 2.9K followers at some point... damn it so close! I have to think up something really fun to do to celebrate when I hit 3,000 followers!

We're coming in to Yom Kippur here in Israel- and even in Tel Aviv, the bastion of secularism shuts down. The whole city shuts down- it's a little crazy, to be honest.

Major cities shut down because of a holiday. I'm not into the holiday part of it, but I love the cultural aspect of it.

I just checked and #QOTO is currently the 28th largest english speaking mastodon instance in the entire fediverse! Awesome!

One of the most memorable hotels I've stayed in: Hotel Continental in #Tangier, #Morocco. Among the oldest hotels in the city, from 1872, with an abundant but little bit run-down interior. It looks like time stood still in the hotel. Parts of the movie The sheltering sky was filmed in the hotel and it had famous guests like Winston Churchill, Queen Victoria's son Edward VII, Jack Kerouac, Paul Bowles and The rolling stones.

Four animal themed memes for your perusal.
