#NFL #ChampionshipSunday! Let's go!!

I asked a librarian if she had a book about Pavlov's dog and Schrödinger's cat?

She said it rang a bell, but she wasn't sure if it was there or not.

*** IT’S HERE: YOUR NFC CHAMPIONSHIP THREAD ***

#Eagles 14-3, #1 seed
Jalen Hurts owns MVP if he can stay healthy. He averaged 297.4 yards passing/rushing and was responsible for 35 touchdowns

#49ers 13-4, #2 seed
12 game winning streak incl 8 with rookie 3rd string quarterback and miracle Brock Purdy.

One of the most exciting matchups all year. A mirror at the line of scrimmage

Has anyone seen the film about Dr #VandanaShiva yet?

She was a #nuclearPhysicist turned #activist, originally tasked with investigating #UnionCarbide's #BhopalDistaster in the 1980s before forming a #SeedFreedom movement against #BigAg and #Monsanto that exploded globally (and proved itself in many ways).

An interview she gave on #AfshinRattansi's show on RT's, #GoingUnderground:

OLD THREAD REPOST
On 29th January 1996, "Threshold", the Star Trek: Voyager episode where Captain Janeway and Tom Paris turned into giant space newts and had babies first aired. Since it's #ThresholdDay we aim to answer a burning question: did Paris and Janeway fuck? If so, how did they fuck?

All you have to do is be kind to others and care for others.

That’s it.

You don’t need a religion where a God watches and judges every little thing whilst at the same time babies are buried in mud slides. 🖖

God is man made.

That’s it. 🖖

Colleges bow to lil’ tyrant Ron DeSantis’ will and halt diversity training. DeSantis won’t stop there. He’s already violated the 1st and 14th amendments and removed publicly elected officials

Fascism is winning

A reminder, DeSantis was a Guantánamo lawyer and administrator

His job was greenlighting torture , as per Mansoor Adayfi

This needs to be a bigger story.

Read my lips:

An audio show that can only be played in an Apple player on an Apple device is not a podcast.

An audio show that can only be played in Spotify is not a podcast.

Repeat ad nauseam for any other proprietary audio show platforms.

A #podcast is an #RSS feed with enclosures of audio files which are playable across the whole ecosystem of podcast players.

Any reporter who reports on exclusive audio shows and calls them “podcasts” are doing a grave disservice to their audience.

A start-up packaging company combines fungi with organic waste to grow and create compostable packaging.

Organic waste and mycelium is grown for 7 days in a mold and the final product is able to be used in place of traditional materials such as polystyrene.

After use, the packaging can be composted in the garden.

Let's do this now! 🍄

@helicswalt Thank you a lot, I use #orgmode tables for putting my students'
qualifications with a weight for each test/exam (in the first line) and I usually do
$13=@1$3*$3+@1$4*$4+@1$5*$5+@1$6*$6+@1$7*$7... I have tried using
parenthesis as you example,
and I have seen that something like $6=vsum((@1$3..@1$5)*($3..$5)) works as
I wanted. Now my tables (and life) are going to be a lot simpler :-).

@ev
Ev,
Here's my (Medium, of course) post speculating about opportunities in the Fediverse, with links therein to @mmasnick's and @daphnehk's excelent articles, plus a deep discussion with @rabble: https://medium.com/whither-news/hope-for-a-post-musk-net-f156d0cdf431

Bagshaw, 48, a dual New Zealand-British citizen, and British volunteer Christopher Parry, 28, went missing this month while heading to the town of Soledar, in the eastern Donetsk region, where heavy fighting was taking place.

Pioneering geologist & oceanographer Marie Tharp changed our understanding of the ocean.

When Tharp sought a geology job at Columbia University in 1948, women couldn’t go on research ships. Instead, she was hired to assist male grad students.

Back then, many scientists still assumed the bottom of the ocean was featureless. Tharp figured out how to use data to create sketches of the ocean floor. Her hand-drawn maps helped develop plate tectonic theory. https://theconversation.com/marie-tharp-pioneered-mapping-the-bottom-of-the-ocean-6-decades-ago-scientists-are-still-learning-about-earths-last-frontier-142451 #science #history
