@esperera_98 Special dinner, either at home or a nice restaurant?

Better yet if with a good companion or love interest. Ahead of time, but Happy Birthday!

ah, buy yourself a present too! 😺 :toot:

@sda

I am amazed. That was a *neat* trick. A way to send a message to your intended target too, while taking it off the public view.

I see them both om my notifications. Well done! :awesome:

"I have two ways of loving You:
A selfish one
And another way that is worthy of You.
In my selfish love, I remember You and You alone.
In that other love, You lift the veil
And let me feast my eyes on Your Living Face."

@Sphinx Those accents do help hint at the correct pronunciation. 😉

@yantrajaal @freemo Not sure if this would help here, but it's on Settings -- Appearance.

What I do is hold down a post on the Federate feed by clicking on it's right side and resisting the UI trying to move it down with new posts. Eventually it senses what I mean, and it stays static.

I have also implemented a Language filter for my feeds, eliminating languages I do not read, like Japanese, Mandarin, etc.

Select only the ones you can read, at least partially. Leave all others blanked out. Save and you will have a lot less posts, specially in times of the day that the Asian users are actively posting.

@Sphinx Many languages have acent marks for that. gárlic would emphasize the a, but acent marks are not used in English.

Do you (or someone you know in a Portland, OR business or organization) have a computational problem for which you need a piece of software? Let me know and maybe my Software Development class can help you out.

I think it is high time to get rid of our extremely irrational fear of nuclear power. The world has moved beyond Chernobyl ... technologyreview.com/s/612940/

@yantrajaal Very appropriate, as I had been thinking of writing an article with a proposal - for Nuclear power usage in creating the huge amount of heat and steam needed to extract bitumen from the Canadian oil sands.

There is a lot of opposition to the oil sands operations, and the biggest argument (correctly) stated the ROI of energy required per barrel extracted is much higher than on a conventional oil well.

That is due to the nature of the oil sands -- heavy, thick oil that has diffused from underground deposits thru sand over long times and pressures.

My proposal is that a nuclear power plant would very efficiently produce large amounts of heat and steam, which could be directly used by the oil extraction plants.

This would reduce the carbon foot print substantially.

And, there are much newer designs than the old plants that have been around for long and had the scary accidents everyone remembers. Smaller size plants would be perfect, sited close to the end users of their output, since we are sending steam down the pipes.

I will get around to writing this, but we can start a discussion if anyone is interested.

Nobody in Canada has mention this idea, and the western oil producing regions are very inflamed with the ecological movement's complaints.

Suppose you come across a genie who gives you a boon that you can explore any one celestial object(only one) and without dying - which object would you choose to explore?

I would love to explore a neutron star 🌟

I have heard that 1 spoon of neutron star contains the mass of mount Everest 😱

@kabir Well said, Kabir.

These days, I am past the have kids days, all grown up, last one on 2nd year uni. The best for me now is traveling, which I do on a backpacker, adventurous style and enjoy so much.

So little that we *really* need; I am away for 2 months with just what fits on my backpack (and it's not a huge one, about 50 l or so).

Seeing the world is wonderful, experiencing cultures, places, history. Love it.

@Sphinx I would think it should work, that's not too far off their spec. Specially if you have more RAM than they request.

@Sphinx Spell or grammar errors are ok, we can't edit any sent messages by design. I hate when it happens to me, so I can relate.

Ordering or even eating out here in North America is not so fun. Lower quality and higher prices than I experience when travelling in Europe, where people live life better, imo. 😔
