Will you be nominating someone in the upcoming moderator election?

@freemo
Tamil is really pretty, but I thing any writing using the Modi script is the most beautiful. The line that connects all the letters so that they hang of it is just so pleasing. :amaze:
Unfortunately I have never seen it "in the wild".

I should point out that the Armenian alphabet is from Georgia, so me mentioning it is not a result of that migration. ;) Although I agree the new perspectives are nice!

@freemo SEM image of Leptospirillum ferrooxidans bacterium at 13000x magnification .I took this couple of months ago. They were on Pyrite mineral surface. :rick:

This quote I wrote in copperplate a few weeks ago is still ringing in my head. Leave it to Einstein to leave me thinking off such a simple idea.

About to hit 6K followers, holly hell im getting followers faster than I can greet them all.

Hi new friends!

Why is it everyone has a favorite color but no one has a favorite letter, or are there others who have a favorite letter too? Can i really be the only writing nerd?

If i missed any on qoto and didnt boost it let me know. The timeline has been so active lately I may have missed one or two.

For non Indian users here is a good article Although too positive but covers details of how India is behaving now

The shifting narrative: “India’s Narendra Modi has had a free pass from the west for too long”

Yes, I agree that you are doing great.

I followed a thread at another instance earlier this morning, and DMed a user there who was looking for longer post limits among other things. He was grateful and should be coming check out qoto soon.

Lucky for me I found qoto right off the bat, after reading the Mastodon listing of instances and liking what I saw in the qoto listing.

Some Acetobacteria under the microscope. The sample was taken from some homemade kambucha we have brewing in the house.

Took the picture with my phone through the eye-lens so rather shitty, sorry.

Is it just me or are the new users starting to spike again after dying down a bit over the weekend? Seems were close to 200 new users today again.

The Northern latitudes is where the impact of climate change, temperatures raising is showing most clearly.

The permafrost, frozen soil under very large areas of Siberia, Alaska, Northern Canada is starting to melt, releasing a lot of water in the Spring (with floods being worse), buildings badly affected by softer soil underneath their foundations.

Gas and Oil pipelines with hundreds of kilometers lengths are built on those regions, and can be damaged by shifting soils. Major leaks can result.

The melting permafrost also leads to ancient vegetation in it starting to rot, and releasing vast quantities of CO2 and other gases, as well as noxious rotting smells.

Saw a really good report on the Washington post on this subject :

I'm out of for about a year. I have degree. No jobs so far. Didn't get the highest GPA. No internships. But I think I still like . I did fairly well in my Data Science course (got a B, majority of grade was based on term project).
On a different note, I find it hard to focus on projects. I spend more time searching novel projects on than developing my own.
I have an interest in , but I feel like there's nothing left to do in that field. As I understand, the models are pretty much fixed, and it's more about acquiring data. I suppose that a PHD might be in the business of developing new models, or evolving existing models, but I'm not at that level, I have a bachelors degree.

@inditoot @freemo @Karthikdeva @Full_marx @iakshay

That is disgusting, and this kind of thing is why people tend to not want to even be in the same room with someone with different or opposing views. 😞

It's a question of decency, no matter what politics you favour. A decent human being wouldn't be doing that just to spite someone else.

I am left wing and very happy with our conversation here, but I do find places like gab.com really annoying. 😔
