@commandelicious Did you try to move again? You know better than that with back aches, right?!
Native Amsterdam lecturer AND student in AI/Robotics, starting the new academic year. Also screwing up in the kitchen.
I've enjoyed @freemo (so kind!) @commandelicious (great cats! ask him about them!) @Surasanji (fellow L5R geek) @spinflip (interesting hobby!)

@pkok yeah, there's obviously a huge amount of national and commercial stuff that you can't access (or have to pay for: the best publicly available commercial imagery nowadays is almost certainly better than what the US had access to for most of the Cold War). That said, the free offerings are really cool. Landsat is low-res optical imagery that's been running forever (you could independently go measure the last 30 years of land clearing in the Amazon), and the Sentinel program covers a huge range of data: optical, radar, IR bands for temperature measurement, spectroscopy for atmospheric gas quantification… the data are all available online from the ESA for anyone interested to go wild with
@spinflip Cool! Sounds like a great dataset to use in a hobby project!
FYI: I think thin pancakes, baked with slices of bacon and loads of apple butter.
So, I'm going to bake some pancakes for dinner. And I'm interested in your opinion:
- What's the best style of pancake? Thick or thin?
- What's the best pancake topping?
@Teezy@mastodon.social That is great! Congrats on the breakthrough on his side!!
@spinflip That is pretty interesting, and also very precise! I never knew a lot of satellite info is publicly available, cool!
Thanks for sharing!
@commandelicious Sounds something worthy of nagging ;)
@commandelicious Wishing you the best for today :(
@indiauplko Nah, most of the times it's because I don't want to do real work.

🇳🇱
It finally happened!!! #QOTO just passed the 1,000 user count!
🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉
I originally predicted this wouldnt happen until the weekend but the influx of users today was insane (over 200 new users today alone).
What I am really amazed over is that we have so many users but so much #love, positive, intelligence, acceptance and mutual support. Despite being a very diverse group with people from every country, every political group, and every orientation it still works. No one has ever had a fight or been hateful
It is nothing but love, the whites get along with the minorities, the #LGBT receive support and encouragement, the teachers help teach the students. It really is beautiful to see. It just shows that the internet really can be a wonderful place if you just try a little. I love you all! Keep being excellent to each other!

@Surasanji That sounds interesting! I'll read up on the sayings another time!
@Ida Hi Ida! How are you doing?
@commandelicious There's no way to avoid that, except for crazy levels of surveillance. 🤷
@commandelicious Yeah, actually surprised how well its structure works!
@Surasanji That sounds like the old days of... Dragon? Haven't been around for that long yet, but I'll read up on them on the wikia.
@freemo Oh man you're oooooold.
Just kidding! Haven't had a look at it, because I've always been in that 3.5/5E bubble.
@commandelicious @freemo Sure, sounds fun!
