@obi ** First Wizarding War (not world)
@true_mxp Not like I'd be reading it for any actual need. It would be purely out of curiosity.
@obi Well yes, originally in the first wizarding world whenn he first joined the death eaters it was sincere... but then (for love) he became a double agent... then he became a triple agent... and thenn we learn he was really a quadruple agent all along :)
Im rewatching harry potter and the half prince... I realized that Severus originally was a death eater, then became a double agent for albus during the first wizarding war, then when Voldemort returned he convinced them he was a triple agent and was actually always working for Voldemort... but in fact he was a quadruple agent and was, in fact working for the order of the phoenix all along.
I love harry potter and all but man JK Rowling was not the best at realism :)
@true_mxp That sounds like a very niche and very cool book. I actually collect old texts (pre-1800s mostly) and do my rather limited attempt at reading them... so that would be a book I'd check out for sure.
@DoctorRinny Thanks, I have no doubt you will make a great addition to the family. Looking forward to those chats.
@freemo - Greetings! I’m very glad to have stumbled on this instance as there were a lot of choices. You have a great community here and it’s technology/science orientation will be an awesome home for me! Thank you for your support! I’m looking forward to interacting with everyone. Yes, let’s chat sometime! I see your interests align with mine, particularly in astrophotography. I’m excited to learn about your setups and experiences! See you around the ‘verse!
@garyackerman Probably because they talked about us after moving here :)
@jkr Sure there is "word play". I would say this qualifies as word play but not as a pun.
@jkr Im not even sure that counts as a pun!
@icedquinn Well technically speaking you arent educated until after you are DONE with college :)
@garyackerman You are on a server devoted to STEM professionals... it isnt a coincidence and it isnt common on any other server :)
@garyackerman I got news for ya, Old England aint much better :)
And for people who want to use crosspost between Twitter and Mastodon automatically, I recommend Moa!
Hi, an #introduction, my name is Mark, I am a #computer #science #teacher with a background in #geoscience. I am interested in #computing #education and #seismology. I program in #python & #vba. I run two #raspberryshake seismometers and tinker with #raspberrypi #pico & #arduino microcontroller boards.
@wmvanstone im not a seismoplogist, but i had a good science teacher in school so I understand the basic ideas... That said while ive seen the part of the chart in the upper right I have never seen this type of chart before. After looking at it I think I under stand it just fine and think this is crazy cool! Thanks for that share.
