All true. Today it's 27C here in Melbourne and I'm still wearing my jumper and long trousers. I don't switch to shorts until it's well over 30C.

So true. A co-worker complained about the keyboard on their dumb terminal.

  • There was a yellow film on the monitor from accumulated cigarette smoke.
  • There was over a quarter cup of food crumbs and cigarette ash inside the keyboard.

Among the Moonikins and experiments aboard @NASA_Orion are a few “Easter eggs” — from lasting tributes to colleagues, to nods to NASA’s Apollo history, and even puzzles with a hidden meaning.

not sure because I can't see some details. The crew seat - I think it says accelerometer. Is it from testing? Need a pic I can zoom in better.

A bag of soup sounds good right now

@NASA_Astronauts have an array of menu items to stay well fed and hydrated on missions. The #Apollo17 menus had around 2500 calories allocated per day for each astronaut.

Check out some of the menu items during our last trip to the Moon.

seems with all the soup and liquid diets, it may be something to the other end of the System?


🥓 Bacon Squares
🥪 PB Sandwich
🌭 Frankfurters
🥫 Lobster Bisque

Like anything going to space, weight and containment matter. That's why the #Apollo17 menu included many soups and puddings. Have a favorite? Comment below! #Apollo50th

Days 3, 7, 11 look pretty good, but I always was a sucker for peanut butter.

I stumbled upon a toot by @shaungdavey showing a photo of majestic Highland cow in a snowy field - so I felt like sharing my own favorite photo of this friendly and curious Highland cow, that I took back in 2014.

I waited for the drop, to witness the energy disperse, concentric circles ripple as if the air.

A friend once said ‘energy is, and will always be’.

AI - or should I say machine learning , because that's more accurate, ie direct learning or is it learning at all if it just repeats the bias of its creators and directors ? theguardian.com/us-news/2022/d…
in reply to crash-stop

I'm reading Kate Crawford's "Atlas of AI" at the minute and can easily recommend. Goes into this and also the material and mining that is used to produce the artifice of intelligence.
in reply to Fionnáin

@ephemeral this sentence alone from their website is a pretty damn good summary, 'While technical systems present a veneer of objectivity and neutrality, Crawford shows how they are designed to serve and intensify existing systems of power. Drawing on a decade of original research, she shows how the new infrastructures of AI reflect the beliefs and perspectives of a small group of people and serve the interests of the few at the expense of the many. ' thanks for the recommendation

This always pops up this time of year, and it never fails to make me smile.
