ok, I need to begin the overly elaborate process of falling asleep

My best friend in the whole wide world, brother from another mother lost his full time job today.

If you have the means and this floats your boat, help him make ends meet until he finds a new one: https://www.twitch.tv/kurohitsuki

He also streams Magic and Siege every night if you'd like to subscribe!

I had this idea for a reboot in my old Masto-files, so I figure I'd put it on AO3 as well.

I still find it faintly incredible that no group of scientists has gotten together and just made a damn set of free textbooks to cover the whole standard curriculum of their field. For uni physics, you'd need, roughly speaking and allowing for bits of overlap:

1. Classical mechanics
2. Single-variable calculus
3. Electromagnetism
4. Multivariable and vector calculus
5. Statistical physics
6. Quantum physics
7. Special relativity
8. Data analysis (a text most likely used as reference in a lab course)
9. Differential equations
10. Linear algebra

Education reform went haring off into MOOCs without really contemplating the possibility of making better resources for more traditional in-person teaching.

What would it be like to be a fly on the wall when a mutual acquaintance sees that viral "Money Diary", sends it to the boyfriend and asks, "Hey, does this sound like Tiffany?"

M57 - The Ring Nebula - is a planetary nebula that is a relatively easy target for an amateur telescope. Located in the constellation Lyra it's a simple star hop between the two southernmost bright stars of the constellation diagram. A good target for the northern summer. #astrophoto

Remember particle beams from giant-robot fiction? Turns out we are actually quite good at making them. Hadron therapy is a thing - they zap you with proton beams because the protons stop and deposit most of their energy at a specific distance inside you, cooking your tumor while leaving the rest of you much less irradiated.

Found an old paper that we gave up on trying to publish after 7 rejections in 2016

It's a perfectly good paper; just no journal was interested in publishing it

Now I'm working on something else and I wish I could cite this data in another paper

Maybe I should just pop it in a preprint server
