Estragon: We always find something, eh Didi, to give us the impression we exist?

Vladimir: Yes, yes, we're magicians.

In a zombielike biome beneath Earth’s oceans, some individual cells might be 100 million years old.

‘Zombie’ Microbes Redefine Life’s Energy Limits | Quanta Magazine

A new model shows that the denizens of a vast, ancient biome beneath the seafloor use barely enough energy to stay alive — and broadens understanding of what life can look like.

To fully drive home the geekery of pure mathematicians, they decided to name shapes without the Rupert Property a Nopert.

Quanta Magazine @quantamagazine.bsky.social · 2d

In the 1600s, Prince Rupert of the Rhine, a nephew of Charles I of England, won a bet about whether a tunnel can be cut through a cube to allow another cube of equal size to pass through. Today, mathematicians study this “Rupert property” in many shapes. www.quantamagazine.org/first-shape-...

Just point out the competing smoke and mirrors salespeople are always ready to jump in to quickly rekindle interest.

Started whistling until I realized it's Ievan Polka, then stopped to marvel a bit at the complexity of tasks my brain and body can perform completely without me.

Wish I could have work run as background task instead of meme songs, though.

it’s giving Jupiter south polar vortex tbh

diagram showing false color images of Jupiter’s south polar vortex observed by the Juno spacecraft in Feb 2017 and Oct 21. the two panels show 5 cloud spirals arranged in a pentagon pattern around the south pole. The pentagonal arrangement rotated about 20 degrees between 2017 and 2021.

Generated videos of Melissa's impact have started to circulate.

Which in turn causes people to call actual coverage fake.

Which in turn causes some to call the whole damn storm a hoax as part of the 'climate agenda'.

Which, given the footprint of generative "AI", is just lovely.

Demon's Crest already had all the ingredients, but the controls severely bogged it down. Firebrand with snappy Hornet movement would be great.

If Nintendo wants to jump on the Silksong hype train, I have a suggestion for an IP revive.

I guess occasionally I'm also a stack, just semaphore those multi-threads away from me.

I hate multiplexing my work tasks. It's exhausting.

cow tools daily @cowtoolsdaily.bsky.social · 4d

43 years ago today, readers the world over opened their newspapers and gazed upon cow tools for the first time. happy birthday cow tools. you look great.

The original Far Side Cow Tools Cartoon by Gary Larson. A cow stands on its hind legs behind a table, staring blankly at the viewer from behind its heavy brow ridge. On the table are four crudely made tools: a lump, a lump with an offset crooked handle, a long stick with hooked prongs at the end, and a crude handsaw with irregular teeth. In the background a barn sits on a hill. Caption reads, "Cow tools."

Found these last night in Tamriel_Data.esm lol

Gary Larson's Cow Tools labeled 'Minotaur Tools' as Morrowind in-game objects.

🔭 Webb's Rho Ophiuchi

Image Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, Klaus Pontoppidan (STScI),

www.star.ucl.ac.uk/~apod/apod/a...

$A mere 390 light-years away, Sun-like stars and future planetary systems are forming in the Rho Ophiuchi molecular cloud complex, the closest star-forming region to our fair planet. The James Webb Space Telescope's NIRCam peered into the nearby natal chaos to capture this infrared image at an inspiring scale. The frame spans less than a light-year across the Rho Ophiuchi region and contains about 50 young stars. Brighter stars clearly show Webb's characteristic pattern of diffraction spikes. Huge jets of shocked molecular hydrogen blasting from newborn stars are red in the image, with the large, yellowish dusty cavity carved out by the energetic young star near its centre. Near some stars in the stunning image are shadows cast by their protoplanetary disks. The spectacular cosmic snapshot was released in 2023 to celebrate the successful first year of Webb's exploration of the Universe.$
