A friend I've known since 3rd grade has a new EP out with his band Abraxas Apostles https://on.soundcloud.com/xZJSb #NewMusic

SpaceX’s Sarah Walker says they found a leak in the spacecraft’s thermal control system, isolated to a single flange. It has been repaired, but put preparations about a shift behind, hence the one-day delay.

I'm two weeks into this #Mastodon experience, and feeling increasingly comfortable with its charm, authenticity, and #community.

I love #NoAds and #NoAlgorithms, pervasive on other platforms, trying to part me from my money or telling me how I should think.

#MastodonTips #socialmedia

In Friendica I can choose Network Posts (those I follow), My posts, Local Community posts (server I am on), and Global community posts (all federated servers with the one I am on).

I can also see Forums (groups) I belong to, Persons, Organizations, and News. I can separate my feed by protocol type, view archives, search on: topic, fediverse addresses, forums, or hashtags, and finally, any saved folders.

The server I am on is federated with most instances including Mastodon, Hubzilla, Pleroma, Misskey, PeerTube, and many more. I can also edit my posts and have tools for images, urls, etc that make posting easy. It is a macroblog while Mastodon is a microblog.

I encourage folks to choose the one or more that works best for them on the server that is closest to them with the terms of service they align with.

@flsounds It was the same weird little movie with hints at some of the themes in what would become the script for "Alien."

It really is the movie that I remember watching when I was 14 which is funny because this was my first rewatch.

@flsounds Thanks for sharing 🙂

So here's my #introduction and shockingly, it should not have typos in it. I'm a chemical engineer by training, now working in IT accessibility. I'm hoping that I can get back into science and engineering as it's most definitely my first love as far as work. Really enjoying reading Mastodon and looking forward to getting to know others in the fetaverse.

Felt like a real-life #Scientist today; I made a “cloud”

Does anyone else have a problem with Metatext where there’s no enter button on the keep to space out text on posts?

@flsounds it does very much remind me of the early days I was a student then so had more time to spend in those places than I do this one but it’s the consciousness of engagement, people here seem to comment thoughtfully rather than to outrage or gain attention. It’s nice. Not to mention the extended character limit leads to people sharing bigger thoughts. You might be able to tell I’m a big fan.

Humanity is less than 4 hours away from the launch of #ArtemisI, the first in a series of increasingly complex missions that will enable human exploration to the #Moon and #Mars. Go, #Artemis! 🚀🌖

Turn signals and hazard flashers on the ol Hondo quit working - no buzz, lights or anything. "Catastrophic failure" is the technical term.

Track it down to the flasher unit - as suspected - pull it. It's not your usual automotive flasher. Has 6 legs, solid state, two relays inside and a load resistor

I'd replaced that load resistor years ago to solve a 'hyperflash' issue - but, it was fried black and in half

Thankfully got spares on hand. Good too, as new, they're about $80 each!

Progress

First time I’ve ever had a piece of my art printed! So vibrant & beautiful 🤩. Can’t wait to see the other test prints. #spaceart #art #digitalart
