Today is a super special #fursuitfriday because itโ€™s the birthday of this bean!

Exactly a year ago, a mysterious box arrived at my home, marking the beginning of an awesome journey for me. Attending events, making friends, having fun, being a menace to society, and so many more things.

Side note, one of the best things I ever did (as a YouTube creator) was add most emojis to my YouTube Studio block list.

On YouTube, the block list prevents comments from showing for other users, and puts comments in a holding area where I never have to engage with them.

Putting most emoji in that block list has caught spam, impersonation, catfishing, crypto scams, and a lot of lewd behavior. I can allow the average everyday emoji through, while filtering the crud.

Living in Houston, what it usually is for me is that I don't want to turn off the A/C.

Less easy to do this on a motorbike, but I've felt like it.

Pretty much ALL fairy tales were like that.

Before disney sanitized them so they could sale princess merchandise for small girls.

Well that's a teenage dream realized right there. Turns out absolutely nothing stops you from telling 86Box's emulated sound card to send midi out to an actual midi device hooked to your desktop, and it just works.

So here's Duke Nukem 3D using the SC-88 on my desk in SC-55 map mode.

Sound is coming back in via the analog inputs of my audio interface and I have finally achieved "the rich people setup" of my dreams in the 90s. Totally worth it.

Wondering if wealth inequality is out of control?

Well, Jeff Bezos made over $7.9 million an hour last year.

In just 13 minutes, he made the equivalent of what a typical person earns in a lifetime.

Don't tell me that the rich can't afford a wealth tax.

Autism and ADHD are NOT trendy. They're more common than we thought, and particularly manifest differently in women, so all the people that were missed as kids are connecting the dots on why certain things were so much harder for them in their lives than most people. And that lets them come up with actually effective strategies.

It's a very, very good thing that lots of adults are figuring this out. Life is much easier with proper language and connecting to other similar folks!

Battery charge capacities are often rated in milliampere-hours (mAh) or ampere-hours (Ah).

The ampere is defined as coulombs (C) of charge flowing past a point per each second of time.

So if you solve for coulombs, each coulomb is however many amperes of current multiplied by each second of time elapsed.

In other words:

coulombs are ampere-seconds

A milliampere-hour, then, is 3.6 coulombs.

Tune in next time when I remember to expose another cursed unit of electricity: the kilowatt-hour. :)

Anyone dunking on Gus Walz for his disabilities is a garbage person who can fuck off into the sun, and anyone defending him with "He's allowed to cry because he's disabled" can equally fuck off. He's allowed to cry, full stop. We all are.

I'll have more coherent thoughts on this when I calm down but it feels like infantilizing neurodivergent folks and I will not have that dammit.

I see that people are shocked and dismayed as they learn theyโ€™ll need a ยฃ6 visa and have their fingerprints taken and face scanned to enter the EU mainland (just like when you visit the US or Canada or many other countries). People who voted to โ€˜control the UKโ€™s bordersโ€™ dismayed as the EU is controlling its borders (and theyโ€™re on the outside). Best bit is that British MEPs helped design and vote for the new arrangements before we Brexited.

I wonder if it will survive? Most of the fun things I've seen on Wikipedia over the years have ended up being reverted. The only joke I know of that's survived a long time is the [cetacean needed] table entry on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cetaceans, and even that has an argument about it on the talk page.
Mark Dominus mastodon (AP)
Yeah. I think sometimes of the article "List of people with silly names", which included a list with extensive citations to reliable sources, typically something like "In spite of his silly name...", quoted from "Dick Pounder to take on new coaching role", _The New York Times_, page D3, Oct 11 1992.' for example.

Priorities. So important.

- EU-Petition to keep video games playable by forcing the publishers to NOT remove essential functions: 302.000 signatures in less than a month.

[1]- EU-Petition to tax the rich and keep our planet inhabitable: 271.000 signatures after 10 months.

[2]If you care about playing your games, please also support the other petition to make sure you still can do that and many other things, ok? :)

Some autistic people find making phone calls extremely stressful and unpleasant and will avoid them at all costs.

Please donโ€™t try and force your communication preferences on others.

@autism101@mstdn.social So you are forcing your communication preference on others instead?

I hate the phone too, but I understand some prefer it. There is no good answer when this conflict exists.

I really love this description of a retracted study: not only does it explain what was retracted (turns out men don't generally divorce their sick wives), but also it covers what the error was (a coding problem treated people who left the study as divorced) how it all went down (someone tried to replicate, asked for data and didn't get the same analysis. Contacted the authors and they were horrified and immediately worked to retract).

It's a really nice story of why replication matters and how to be good at science. This is how I was taught science should work, but I rarely come across such good retrospectives.

I will say this, even in the face of the comment that already exists here...

People like to say things like "science doesn't work" and then go on to name fraud, commercial interests and so on. Which is all true enough.

But when we find that "science doesn't work" it is because "science" itself found the errors. It was other researchers who tried to replicate, reanalyzed, looked at the books, etc to determine that the results were in question.

Figuring out that "science doesn't work" is part of the process of science. And Retraction Watch is an important part of that!

Yes, that isn't science NOT working, that's science WORKING.
