Still working on a fix to seal my latest rock sample. With my bore sweeping tool, I’m aiming to clean the tube opening to remove any dust preventing the seal. Results look promising, so meanwhile I'm off to explore a new place called “Yori Pass.” Blog: go.nasa.gov/3hcSBP0 #PerseveranceRover nitter.net/NASAPersevere/statu…


Sagt mal @Friendica Support mache ich da irgendwas falsch oder ist das ein Bug, dass ein geteilter Beitrag zweimal/ untereinander erscheint. Bzw. ein Bild in einem geteilten Beitrag. Bin auf der aktuellen DEV.

Es liegt an Dir, es liegt garantiert nicht am dem Programmierer, der das verursacht hat und sich gerade wie der Kesselflicker auf der Titanic fühlt ...

Ich schaue es mir nachher an.



After a couple weeks of driving, I’m back at “Enchanted Lake,” scoping out my next potential spot for #SamplingMars. What do these rocks have to say about the earliest history of the lake that used to be here? Let’s find out. Latest team blog: go.nasa.gov/3So6JCl #PerseveranceRover nitter.net/NASAPersevere/statu…


I’m about to drop my first rock sample collection on the surface of Mars. I’m setting down the scientifically compelling, curated set of rocks at “Three Forks,” a spot just at the base of the river delta I’ve been exploring. #SamplingMars More on plans: go.nasa.gov/3DaqCqO nitter.net/NASAPersevere/statu…


“You’ve Got Perseverance!” is back – a special opportunity for students who know how to push through challenges. Nominations now open for middle and high school students (grades 6-12). #gotperseverance U.S. educators, nominate by Oct. 31: go.nasa.gov/gotperseverance nitter.net/NASAPersevere/statu…


Call them the “dusty dozen.” I’ve now got 12 rock core samples on board, collected while #SamplingMars at these different sites around Jezero Crater. Learn more about all my samples, and keep track of the ones still to come: mars.nasa.gov/mars-rock-sample… nitter.net/NASAPersevere/statu…

Awwww. I've been too busy to wander around the great court looking for the nest. Will have to make time on Monday.

Funnily enough the tree they're in is actually closely surrounded by a red VIP-type rope & sign-posted. Near to the junction of Forgen-Smith & Michie buildings.


The First Female Crash Dummy Has Arrived

Women are more likely to get injured in car crashes, but the currently available test dummies don’t reflect the average female body

Compared to men, women are 17 percent more likely to die in a car crash and 73 percent more likely to sustain serious injuries in a front-end collision.

Yet despite these discrepancies, car companies are only required to test vehicle safety using crash dummies modeled after the average man.

Another pandemic ship comes to Australia.

"The Majestic Princess cruise ship – carrying about 800 Covid-19 positive passengers – has docked in Sydney and passengers have disembarked in the city...

"...NSW Health assessed the Covid risk level for the Majestic Princess as “Tier 3” which indicated a high level of transmission. Such “high impact” vessels have “a lot of cases on board (100 or more positive cases per 1,000 people) and/or the vessel is unable to maintain critical services due to staffing or resource shortages”.

"The outbreak comes after a surge in case numbers across Australia over the past week – an anticipated “fourth wave” – prompting Queensland to ask residents to mask up in health facilities, indoors and on public transport."

I love how all the Regressives are now wanting to make the legal voting age higher - because their stupidity isn't 'resonating' with the young people. This is a party of morons.

Since we are an instance brought together by #scicomm on a federated network where we collectively have the power to shape culture I think we should be advocates of gently pointing out when we see folks who are not considering accessibility when tooting.

Some resources: I shared this about alt text previously with someone: https://edtechfactotum.com/adding-alt-text-and-more-to-images-in-mastodon/​

And here's a nice set of tips about accessibility too https://fedi.tips/mastodon-and-fediverse-accessibility-tips/​

spider but cute

Nice. 🙂

Half the time, the jumping spider would jump on to my wife's camera when she's trying to get close-up macro shots. 🙂



Kurt Vonnegut would have been 100 years old today, Veteran's Day. He had a lot to say about that.

Birdsite never managed to come through for this one, but maybe Mastodon will: I have an HP C3750, a PA-RISC workstation which is absolutely badass. However, despite countless attempts, I simply cannot find the right version of HP-UX to install on this machine.

Does anyone here maybe have any original media, or any tips or anything to help me along? I've been at this for over a year now.

This is the OpenPA page for this machine: openpa.net/systems/hp-visualiz…



We turned @ficusorganensis 's camera traps into near-sighted minions! Denise had a challenge when she was studying her butterflies with camera traps. The sensors picked up the butterfly movement fine, but she needed to get up close imagery of them, and the camera traps normally have a set focal length for much further away. We were thinking about hacking the lenses, but came up with an even easier fix! We hacked some cheap reading glasses (+3.00) and velcroed them on!



All,

The moment has finally arrived! 🥳

@McCullohMD
@stevendavis , and I have been hard at work for the past week putting together a Mastodon instance so that we can create a backup disability and chronic illness community.

It can be found here:

disabled.social

For now, we have set up a terms of service, privacy policy, rules and best practices.

I have plans to set up a Twitter space to go through each of these with the disability community directly to add/subtract/reword things.

Hi, just showing off how strong my wheelchair and I are. 😜

Photos are from performances with Misiconi. This is a dance company which works with dancers with and without disabilities. You can read more about it and our projects over here:

(There is a yellow translate button in the corner.)
We dance at festivals, conferences and in theaters. Please hire us! 😄 Or :boost_ok:

in reply to Haley Sanderson :verified:

have you seen fedi.tips/ they're the guide I point to when folks say they don't know what they're doing

I think as long as you're going slow, interacting with the stuff you like, filtering out the stuff you don't, and reporting the stuff that's bad you'll find a place on the fediverse

in reply to Danny (he/they)

thats what I'm trying to do and so far it has been going ok. 😀 I'm definitely taking it slow.

They have a whole accessibility TEAM!
