Are you more bothered by how this preferred pizza topping data is visualized or that 42% of survey respondents love pineapple on their pizza?

I will never understand why people are so averse to diversity.

I like seeing trans people speaking to each other with idioms I don't get, cute girls speaking a language I can't recognize, or gay dudes priming and posing in random pics.

Seeing shit that is not for me makes me feel like I'm part of a much bigger world that still has space for me to learn and grow.

That's a big place of comfort for me. The bottomless nature of the human experience means we all have space to be fully who we are.

That's pretty cool.

I see you.. 🤓

This seems like an appropriate first comic for mastodon.

Been so busy 😮‍💨. But I wanted to share my latest episode, goshuin/御朱印, beautiful ink and vermillion stamps you can collect from temples and shrines all over Japan.

Here are some pages from my most recent goshuincho.

🤓 #nerdstuff #rpn #calculator alert:

Who else here uses the old reverse polish notation (#rpn) calculators of HP? One of the best is the HP42S - quite expensive on the second hand market. A free alternative is the Free42 app of Thomas Okken: https://thomasokken.com/free42/

SwissMicros has built an actual calculator, DM42, based on the Free42 software https://www.swissmicros.com/product/dm42

Edward Shore has a nice calculator blog, on which he posted a fibonacci program of mine for the Free42 / DM42 , in two versions. https://edspi31415.blogspot.com/2022/09/dm42-recursive-fibonacci-by-marko.html

On the picture left: the original HP42S calculator, right: the SwissMicros DM42 version.

I did it. I turned on the heated toilet seat.
I held out as long as I could.

I am reminded of this Hunter Thompson quote:

“He has poisoned our water forever. He will be remembered as a classic case of a smart man shitting in his own nest. But he also shit in our nests, and that was the crime that history will burn on his memory like a brand.”

so obviously i'm sad twitter died, mainly because i got a lot of my indexing jobs that way, so if you need to have a book indexed, hire me! (please reblog this academics)

Timeline cleanser. My kids made a new friend. Meet Larry the Squirrel. Every morning he comes and knocks on our back door eagerly waiting for food. My kids feed him and he scurries off. 😅

Today was a glorious day.

Found this #StarTrekDS9 Gowron Standup at the Antique Store, got it for $20 and I wasn't expecting to find anything like this there.

When faced with a large problem that feels overwhelming, break it down and focus on the single best next step you can take.

Set realistic goals, take one incremental step at a time and you'll get there.
