Today I learned I can dump some mixed nuts in the Cuisinart, turn it on, let it run until mixed nut butter is made. No additives but quite yummy on potato bread!

Hello everyone, it's time we start officially posting on Mastodon, so here is our #Introduction -- we are the #Chandra Director's Office, responsible for updating you on all of the goings-on at the #ChandraXray Center operating NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. From newsletters and workshops to proposals and peer review, we are here to keep you in the loop with what is going on in Cambridge and in orbit. #Astrodon #Astronomy #Astrophysics #Space #Science #Satellite #NASA #XRaysAreTheBestRays

Proposal to ban books and imprison librarians for not removing objectionable content. This is just ridiculous and frightening. Ugh.

Numerous waterfalls adorn the north western section of the Trans Canada Highway in Ontario along Lake Superior, one of which is the Aguasabon Falls and Gorge.

This one is around the small town of Terrace Bay. There are no trails that lead further into the gorge beyond this lookout point, at least none that I could find.

There are reports of a forest defender being killed by the police. Cops will claim no matter what that they killed in self defense. Again, cops lie literally all the time. Do not believe or uncritically repeat their narrative. Wait for details. Solidarity with forest defenders.

Dept. of Justice: "The founder and majority owner of a cryptocurrency exchange, Bitzlato Ltd, was arrested last night in Miami for his alleged operation of a money transmitting business that transported and transmitted illicit funds and that failed to meet U.S. regulatory safeguards, including anti-money laundering requirements.
Anatoly Legkodymov, 40, a Russian national who resides in Shenzhen, People’s Republic of China, is scheduled to be arraigned this afternoon..."

I have a question about three of my favorite groups. First let me introduce them:

The orthogonal group O(n) is the group of all real-linear transformations T: ℝⁿ → ℝⁿ that preserve the usual inner product.

The unitary group U(n) is the group of all complex-linear transformations T: ℂⁿ → ℂⁿ that preserve the usual inner product.

The symplectic group Sp(2n,ℂ) is the real-linear transformations T: ℂⁿ → ℂⁿ that preserve the imaginary part of the usual inner product.

It’s not fair to make fun of Microsoft's terrible graphic design because your designs would look almost as bad if all you had to use were Word and Publisher.
