2·4 days agoYou have “bras” twice in the proverb, it should be “On lui donne le doigt et il nous prend le bras”.
A Canadian Space Agency project about detecting life on Mars. My contribution was minuscule, as a young naive grad student, but I hope it gets built on over time.
Who throws out a nearly full bag of chips?! They’re like 6$ here in Canada!
I can’t remember if it’s mentioned in the books, but I think the idea is that Muggle technology stops working in the presence of magic. Guns would jam, electronics would brick, etc.
Granted, this raises the question of where do you draw the line? For example, the magical world has countless exploding substances. What if they took some, stuffed it down a long metal tube, insterted a small metal object in front of it, then set fire to the explosive stuff from the back end? That’s basically a gun or cannon, and it’s hard to argue that it’s technologically complex.
Teaching: That moment when someone’s eyes light up and their whole facial expression changes from confusion to understanding. I love the challenge of figuring out how to reach that with each person.
Dancing or working out to my favorite songs: It feels like my body is taken over by the music, and I can keep going endlessly while everything else fades away.

Helicobacter, like Helicobacter pylori which causes ulcers.
No more climate change if no more climate!
3·22 days agoI can make two sounds that I haven’t been able to locate in the IPA chart. They’re a voiced and voiceless pair. I can only describe then as the sounds of a goose or duck.
3·29 days agoHow big is this thing? Without a sense of scale in the picture I thought it was about 2 ft / 60 cm long.
You better not cut any corners!
Sleep, exercise, catch up on chores (cleaning, organizing). I’m tired of being tired, achy, and messy.
Jesus fuck, Wall-E was supposed to be a dystopia, not an inspiration.
201·1 month agoYeah, Wikimedia is disappointing… The CEO makes over $500k and there are half a dozen other people who each make over $300k. I am seriously reconsidering my monthly donation to them. I love Wikipedia with all my heart, but it looks like my money would go further if I donated to the Internet Archive instead.
That would be an added benefit, yes! I live in a rural area with no sidewalks and no street lights. Whenever I walk my dog at night, both of us are lit up and reflective, just in case. I used to be the only one that went to such extremes but now I see a couple other people following suit. Yay for safety!
Chin-length layered bob, and also extremely happy with it. I wore my hair about bra strap-length most of my life, but once I went short I never went back. Shorter cuts are much more flattering for my face shape and personality.
