Ooh my daughter would love this book. Can you provide author/title?
was about to give up finding the damn comet until it was suddenly obvious!
A few news articles like this imply it was really him www.nme.com/news/music/m...
So cashed checks at bank today & teller was ASU undergrad. When she saw in account that Iโm a professor she immediately looked me up on rate my professor and started reading out loud. Glad my ratings arent bad ๐คฃ
Ah ok. I called my primary care dr and she said she didn't know how to prescribe it.
Frankly, I have seen enough. Secretary Kennedy should be fired immediately. He's destroying the agency responsible for keeping diseases (like measles and Ebola) under control. This is deadly serious.
So CVS and Walgreens will not provide Covid-19 shots in AZ without a prescription. I tried to get a prescription from my primary care dr. and she said "what are you talking about? I don't even know how to prescribe that." So things are awesome.
Seems to me that if you can just blow up boats because they may have drugs on them, a lot of billionaires' yachts might be in danger.
So I joined a labor union today
I like the message, hate the execution (maybe I just donโt like jimmy stewart).
was thinking that this has been the QOTD more than once before (not complaining - one of the most important bits of Terry's writing)
and adding an AI button that you can't get rid of!
post-Trump they are going to have to invent a new version of this medal (and award it to all non-Trump recipients of MoF) since Trump has thoroughly debased this one.
My 1st Columbia House selection (8 lps for a penny or whatever) included Dire Straits Making Movies, King Crimson Discipline, Police GiTM, Supertramp Crime of the century, all of which remain favorites >40 years later.
jeez, I like their records up through life's rich pageant and I thought I was a purist
"Kids should have healthy lunch" and "kids should die from measles" are pretty much the same, right?
I think it started as a Commodore 64 game in 1984
Had to dig out the old LP
listened to this album every day after school 2nd semester of my freshman year of high school and got to see them perform that summer. Still have every note memorized. Happy Yes Day!
And glue the pages to construction paper for a colorful border?
I love that every conference still has at least one of these oldskool posters.
Whatever is wrong with the president, I hope his Secretary of HHS is personally selecting his treatment plan
I do call myself a hermeochemist (based on an argument 25 years ago with a Science editor who insisted that geochemistry could only apply to the Earth though she balked then when I wanted to refer to what we were doing at asteroid Eros as erotochemistry)
woah. Also angel dust, sexual harassment, bubblegum (!), and that extremely common word, vitellogenin
and omg I never saw this one before www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1nG...

Mmm homemade Denver style chili rellenos with home roasted hatch chiles
As a meteoriticist familiar with the actual mineral it confused me so much the first time I saw a high-P mineral chemistry talk refer to MgSiO3 as perovskite
hey. When I heard people refer to infrared (pronounced correctly) light, I thought they were talking about something different from the infrared (rhymes with scared) light I saw referred to in books.
Im wondering if my student already on a GRFP will actually get next year's money
My wife (gf at time) took a women in science class from her at Cornell. Very influential on both of us. RIP
I can
Eagles records
TIL at age 56 that itโs mourning dove and not morning dove
The Ni is clear sign the spacecraft is made of a Ni based quasicrystal

Coltrane's My Favorite Things
This of course is awful, but making it even worse is that the one guy at Harvard we *wish* would stop doing research is good at convincing rich idiots to fund his insane ideas.
Makes sense (but so would not announcing things before they are actually released). But the reader has no idea which color corresponds to higher values than other colors (astronomers know, but average joe won't). If red is highest then comet is a donut. Should provide at least a numberless scale
yes and that's my favorite recording of hers
the Hubble one must have been taken during daytime since the sky is bright blue
Wow, interstellar comet 3I/Atlas sure keeps drastically changing color! #ShowAColorBarIfYouUseAFalseColorScale!
what if god was one of us? just a slob like one of us?
Roasted a whole bunch yesterday! (but easier to find in AZ I imagine)
holy crap - how have I never known about this??
and somehow making this list made me put on Rubber Soul - brains are weird.
Tho Revolver should be on that list too
Name 5 albums that had the biggest impact on your life John Coltrane - my favorite things The Who - Quadrophenia King Crimson - in the Court of the Crimson King U2 - War Joe Jackson - Big World
Your dose of cuteness ๐ฆ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ Good morning friends
"Compassionate ways" ๐คฎ (From CO Springs paper)
I hope they are cats that you know
I need an end to the Gavin Newsom thirst posting if you need a straight white man Democrat to stand up to Trump pick Andy Beshear who has never compromised on trans rights even for a moment
/sarcasm
Doesn't that image support his idea that it is internally luminated? Look at the bright yellow core!

That alternates with Oranges and Lemons as my fave XTC LP
"electricity, charged to uncharged" wot?
Everybody remembers Del Shannon's song Runaway, but I like the message encoded in the title of this one youtu.be/Xk_FR3341bA?...
But all those complications go away if itโs made of antimatter
Goddamit I was there last week between eruptions
I wonder which relative of Trump has a wall painting business
LOL damn right pulsars are adult content
can't wait for the next Democratic administration to cancel all federal funding to states that ban abortion
c'mon Adeene, they didn't "delete" the abstracts; they just hid them from public view! (actual LPI response)
huh, the last time we were at war with Mexico was the 1840s. The war against the confederacy was more recent, yet these assholes fly that flag
Oh won't you stay with me (falsetto)

Ah yes, I missed that crucial detail of your fine argument
every Mars rover has a clock built into its computer :^)
There are pi times 10 million seconds in a year (within less than a percent)
We founded the U of Arizona Center for East Asian Studies three years ago with a US Dept of Education grant. Last Friday marked the end of year 3 of 4. Though the grant was for four years, we have not received word about year 4 funding. Without this support, we have no choice but to close down.
would have been nice to have this 24 hours ago :^)
Has anyone asked ICE or DHS whether tax dollars were used to purchase the dildo?
It's a serious problem if you are trying to do interdisciplinary research, though. Or asking people to give colloquia in an interdisciplinary department.
Ruin a movie: Episode IV: A New Pope
Not seeing a lot of "roving gangs of wild youth" there that the president used as a pretext
I really can't believe that this is the cover for a Beach Boys record
How do ice grains use mass spectrometry? #OneMansPedanticQuestToEndOveruseOfDanglingParticiplrlesInScience
I do miss when things were called "neural networks" and "principal components analysis" etc instead of lumping everything as "ML" and then "AI"
Kona ones aren't bad, either
reminds of my experience 4 years ago
What GIF pops up when you type your name?

DC is so dangerous we waited until our daughter was 11 before letting her walk to the public library alone
Another Wolf-Rayet object was captured by #JWST ๐ญ. Note the cloud-to-star stairs, which are a partially hidden spiral of material being peeled off the dying star.
Speaking as a scientist, f*ck this and f*ck that prof.
