Wrote a script to generate these "Iso Slice-O" drawings directly from 3D model files (with a tiiiny bit of manual SVG cleanup at the end). Ran it on some of the most popular models and I'm obsessed with the results using white ink / black paper

There is no world where we solve climate change without consuming less, including driving less. No amount of magical paint can make a car move without substantial external energy input. Ride a bike!

So, dear #tangara lovers and MP3 enhtusiasts, it finally is ready!

*Build your own Tangara*

Do you prefer to assemble devices yourself rather than buy them ready-made? Attending the #38C3 ? A group of electronics hackers from https://ZTL.space and coredump.ch are offering a DIY Tangara workshop at the Hardware Hacking Area, on day 1 only.

You can register here: https://events.ztl.space/9cklb/

All the information is in the pretix, please read carefully :)
Feel free to ask if you have questions!

"the forces of racism have regrouped on the borders of legitimate science and transformed themselves into a dynamic and creative citizen science movement capable of exploiting features of human genetics"

"If only American billionaires could buy the EU, like we bought the US presidency, stealing people's data while destroying planet Earth would be so much more profitable."

I went to #Switzerland, the world's greatest railway nation, and got to ride some of its lesser-known trains.

I started with the Belle Époque train from #Montreux to Zweisimmen.

Its “Orient Express”-inspired carriages are run 4x a day—same price as 1st or 2nd class tickets on a regular train.

US strangling science funding and about to lose too many to count years long investments in science, NZ defunding social sci, Canada holding sessions RIGHT NOW about EDI in science where people testify with erroneous readings of research meant to *show evidence of disparities and inequity* arguing that based on identity some scholars are less worthy than other scholars, can't even list all the ish happening in the UK, it's all happening pretty fast good luck everybody

Great weekend of training wrapped up, and another new class of volunteers is qualified to respond to missing persons in county (full state-wide certification doesn't happen until they've completed the other half of the training program early next year).

Welcome aboard! Looking forward to serving alongside all of them.

Please google Great Barrington Declaration. If it had been implemented, millions more people would have died at the start of the pandemic. Now, one of its architects will lead the National Institutes of Health (if confirmed), the largest funder of biomedical research in the world.
