if you've ever messed up a dimension or a hole position on something you're building, don't be too hard on yourself.
at least you're not the Cisco design engineer who caused an entire product line recall by placing the mode button (which resets the switch if held) directly above an RJ45 port.

Talk about showing both sides of the story. Nice frontback, Orion.
On flight day 9, @NASA_Orion took these images looking forward to the Moon, and back home toward Earth.

Some of the brightest objects in space are blazars—supermassive black holes feeding off material, which can create two powerful jets of high-speed particles.

NASA’s Webb Sheds Light on Galaxy Evolution, Black Holes
The new image of galaxy group "Stephan's Quintet" from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope shows in rare detail how interacting galaxies trigger star formation in each other and how gas in galaxies is being disturbed.Rob Garner (NASA)
A black hole's gravity is so powerful that not even light can escape it. 😱
But on this #BlackHoleFriday, we ask you not to fear the mysterious things in our universe and instead be open to their beauty.

I am not generally a #StarWars person, but I've fallen into a very fun hole recently due to the A More Civilized Age podcast (amorecivilizedage.net/) and my partners. I ended up watching Andor and Rogue One, and today I watched season one of The Mandalorian. This is the most SW I've consumed in years.
Anyway, a vigorous convo yesterday on whether #StarTrek can even be usefully analyzed from an anti-capitalist, anti-colonialist perspective means that I might have a new podcast early next year.
A More Civilized Age: A Star Wars Podcast
Join Rob Zacny, Natalie Watson, Ali Acampora, and Austin Walker as they dive headfirst into the fall of the Galactic Republic, debate which Jedi is messiest, and dig into the themes and politics of The Clone Wars. Cover Art by @XeeceeVEVO on Twitter.amorecivilizedage.net
Prereqs for such a podcast:
1. We have to finish our current reading of China Mièville's "A Spectre, Haunting".
2. We have to figure out the scope of the texts covered. (Someone suggested not including TOS, and I disagree.)
3. We have to figure out the format: no way are we doing to an ep-by-ep watchalong, so we're considering how to select texts and link them across eps. We have some ideas.
4. Our partner who is a prof simply cannot have anything else on their plate before next semester. 😁

Thanks, but ever since I worked with my Wooting keyboard and realized how amazing it is to have the settings stored on the keyboard and always send the exact keystroke I want regardless of the booting step or OS, I have developed a negative feeling towards mapping keys via software. Imho keyboard is (and should be) an independent component and agnostic to OS and booting stage

The 1st widely accepted black hole, Cygnus X-1, was discovered decades earlier in 1964. X-rays emitted were detected by a pair of Geiger counters launched on a sounding rocket from White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. #BlackHoleFriday
