Where I live in the Midwestern USA, there's a large #snowstorm outside today. It's a deep but wet snow, making it perfect for packing into snowballs and sculptures. I think I found some inspiration here…

(It's #HootinTootinTuesday again! Post some jokes or funny memes under this hashtag today, and bring lots of smiles to #Mastodon.)

Up and at 'em, people! These barbers aren't going to shave themselves!

Chilling at the airport and noticed there was a perfectly hexagonal pond nearby.. i was thinking maybe it was related to some kind of industrial thing, and i was right, but i didnt expect it to be 1900 years old

I opened the first IPCC report, released in 1990, and copied their scenario graphs for CO2 and CH4 emissions.

I marked the latest data with a red dot. Methane emissions in 2022 were 580 Mt and carbon dioxide emissions in 2023 were 40.7 GtCO2 (= 11.09 GtC).

Whatever you think about the IPCC you must admit their business-as-usual calculations were pretty robust.

Hot dang a “high impact, low confidence” forecast situation for the #Portland metro on Tuesday night.

I kid you not the reasonable range of possibilities is cold rain to 15 cm of snow overnight. Looks like wide variation throughout the metro too, one model gives Scappoose 13 cm but Tigard nothing.

Stay tuned.

I rewatched the first #MythicQuest (Season 1, ep. 1) last night and just for the heck of it, here is a thread of the highlights of what struck me (a 16 year veteran of making MMORPGs and RPGs) as both realistic and clearly unrealistic. #GameDev

Unity manual:

"‍To see what overlays are available in the Scene view, press the ` key to open the overlay menu."

Yes, that is an intuitive hotkey, which need not appear in any menu, and could not possibly result in someone accidentally hitting it while aiming for ESC and then wondering for years how they opened it.

Up and at 'em, people! These splines aren't going to reticulate themselves!

It's too late for us, but if someone is considering taking a cross-country train trip west across the USA while playing through Ticket to Ride Legacy: Legends of the West, that would be an excellent idea.

We just played game 4. Watch for @htdrake's report coming soon.

@brooke OH MY GOD! I didn't realize there was a *series* of movies (including this one) leading up to The Green Slime!

One thing I still don't understand: why weren't there a lot more guns at Jan 6? It seems like that crowd would have to be actively talked out of bringing them.

Me: Meet my horse, Mayo.

Friend: why did you call him that, he’s not even a white horse?

Mayo: [neighs]

Potential opponent Janelle Bynum's poll at least covers "protecting our environment":
