I wanted to apologize to anyone who may have mistaken my pronouns in my profile as an intent to mock the use of pronouns.
The intent was always that I am happy to use whatever pronouns a person wishes that they feel best represents respect shown to them. Likewise I asked for pronouns to be used for me that also shows respect. It was intended to be a two way street not a mockery.
I have since added a note to my profile to make it quite clear my pronouns are not intended to mock.
Hello world (and universe)! I'm a #space journalist from #Canada who writes about #spaceflight, #rockets, #astronomy, #StarTrek, #NASA and whatever else is trending that day.
I recently got to talk to an #astronaut about cosplay, of all things. That was unexpected. https://www.space.com/european-female-space-station-commander-2001-cosplay
My favourite stories cover #diversity, #stem and other ways to make our universe a little bit more inclusive.
I am blundering about here on Mastodon as a beginner ... but believe in showing others that learning and growing at any age is a good thing. :)
In my spare time I enjoy #archaeology #history #libraries #gaming ... and I'm also a beginner #python coder, because why not.
Drop by and say hi!
@freemo I've mentioned to Red's Rhetoric and Sci Man Dan... I can't watch their stuff as much as I approve of it. I get way too wound up screaming at the video, "Would these people JUST F***'IN' LOOK UP!?!?"
Cook to 5-10°F #InternalTemperature below desired before going nuclear.
ALWAYS judge 'doneness' by IT if possible. I cannot state this enough for *all* BBQ

@freemo reading this guys posts, he's clearly nuts - i'd say he is just lying. imho you give these people too much attention ;)
even if a software was written by hitler himself it would be just a tool.
in any case i think things need to be called out as what they are, lies and diffamation campaigns. this bullshit in the name of equality and justice is getting out of hand.
I'm blocked so I cantt correct Rich... but who is going to tell him that he is lieing (or misinformed).
We have clear rules about child porn as is shown below. I was asked but someone about it and at the time we had never had to address it so I mentioned tthe moderators would need to vote to get it added to our rules.. moments later we voted and added it... Naturally the person lied and posted out of context about the vote and never bothered to let people know we updated our rules moments later.
As to his comment about kiwifarms.. lets be clear. I saw a list on a website whose domain name was not associated with kiwifarms as far as I knew.. it just so happened that list was generated using a tool that happened to be written by kiwifarms... obviously I didnt know this.
This shit is getting absurd...
@freemo So much of this is just silly, and I’m sorry you’re having to deal with it. I’m not going to be defederating from instances that have thoughtful moderation policies that do their best to enforce them, I can tell you that. I’ll recommend Qoto too.
Ah, the feeling of old-style internet drama, I’ve kinda missed it! (not that much)
@dichotomiker @freemo Nazis didn't persecute only jews. They persecuted and killed people that didn't think the way they did. Even people of their own nationality! They didn't care about the truth. Eugene and his staff show the same behaviour when they block people without given them any justification and the chance to defend themselves. I'm not saying he is a Nazi. I'm saying he isn't fair nor honest in the way he deals with others.
This comment on reddit meant so much to hear!

@freemo
Yeah, all burners, high heat, closed lid. Like a rocket... 🙃 😉 🤣
Funny how @Gargron was so concerned about popular opinion and "optics" when he delisted us... Now the thread on reddit discussing this is already more popular than any other thread this month and will likely hit an all time high.
Shame about the bad optics...

I am trying to rotisserie some red meat on the grill for the first time. That white thing behind the meat is a gas burner plus there are for gas burners underneath.... what i dont know is how to do it.. do i turn on all burners, side and bottom? Do i use high heat or low? Do i close the lid or leave it open?
My guess is all burners on, highest heat, lid closed.
