Woken up at 4am by a water alarm in the basement. Heating element on the water heater decided to blow itself up inside and let water through the connection. Didn't even trip the breaker!

My cat Violet exfiltrated a cranberry cookie from a baggie.😆

The stage at my kid's band concert looks like a hungry monster.

Hello! I’m a professor of planetary science based at Harvard, interested in rocky planet evolution, #climate, habitability, and related topics.

Finally decided to get a social media account and Mastodon seemed like a logical choice right now. Looking forward to figuring out what this site (or sites??) is all about…

Given that Half-Life has now been around for 25 years, I mentioned to my kid he should try it out. He took the Black Mesa route instead of the original, which is fine. But, I watched him for a bit helping him find a crowbar, and now I am nauseous and need to sit down.

Can't do FPSs like I used to. Oof.

Been a while, but recently got a chance to fly some rockets with the club. Put up 11 flights. Silo flew again, on a D12-5 and it was perfect.

And, did the Astrocam two staged this time, C6-0 to C6-7.

I usually drop the CPU in the motherboard first, then memory.

@nixCraft

Yes, like the whole stupid HR-spewed mantra of "Bring your whole self to work"

Um, nope. I bring all that's needed to work to work. The rest is mine.

@nixCraft Home-brewing beer probably could make the list 😃

Micro acts are all we get while we're crazy busy and everything's going to hell around us 🤪

Why pick through all the boring oat pieces in your magically delicious cereal when you can just get right to the good part?

It was 48 years ago tonight, at about this time, that the Edmund Fitzgerald sank in Lake Superior. This song always gets me.
