It happened early. My lovely supervisor was the only one in the building. The smell was so strong from the back door that the fire dept literally ran over from the station nearby. They said the building was at something like 26% concentration in one area and could have exploded and immediately evacuated her. I can’t get over how surreal that seems. It was intensely strong when I arrived but at that point they said we were allowed to go back in (seems crazy because the smell was still so strong). Apparently someone crashed a car into something behind the building over night (cars don’t go there) and caused it to build up to this point slowly. Alls fixed and no one hurt but…yeah.

This game would be played on GitHub. One person would make a list of some food items, one would make list of some shopping articles, one would make a list of restaurants, and one would make a list of places worth sightseeing. These would be uploaded as a repository in GitHub. And then we shall collaborate.

Let’s take a moment to look at what’s going right. What’s made you laugh or smile recently? No matter how big or small it is, we want to hear about it!

Have you been rocking an old classic? Discovering something new? Revisiting some nostalgic bands from the past?

Anything goes. Any items you don’t leave your house without? Apps or “methods” you use to make tasks easier? If you have a Therapeutic Companion or any other type of person to care for you, all advice you have.

I was talking to my neurologist about the new (to me) FL-41 coating I got for my glasses, which helps my headaches substantially and makes me actually use them regularly. He asked to see them, I assumed just to see how dark the tint was. But he spent an awfully long time looking at them, which I found odd.

And I read the news every morning hoping at least one of those billionaire ghouls and their enablers have died a painful death.

When Covid hit i was 17, i’m italian and we had it pretty rough. After the lockdown i was left with anxiety problems i never suffered before. The last year of high school was like a fever dream, we would do like 2 weeks of school in person and 2 online and the rules changed constantly. Social interactions as i knew them before, in school and outside, changed and became more difficult. The fact that you lose a lot of friends due to everyone going to different cities to study for university didnt help either, i was basically alone for the first time in my life.

I’ll write mostly about genetics, biochemistry (specifically the biochemistry of energy metabolism), and microbiology (bacteria).

It seemed comfortable enough and looked better than the Kivik.

The driver rolled down the window and yelled something about respect.

I’m in my 30s and everything kinda went tits up for me a few years ago when I did some serious soul searching and some healing and realized I am not attracted to men. And I’m not just weird! And, woof, women are pretty.

Hi guys, as title says I’m an actual Iranian living in Iran. I have a temporary internet connection and don’t know how long will it last…

tl;dr: Pre-colonoscopy bowel prep really took a lot outta me: crazy shit.

Considering that modern humans have been around for roughly 200-300’000 years but the oldest known form of money / standardized currency dates back only 3000-2500 bce, what would today look like in a alternate reality where the concept of money was never conceived? Like I guess some form of “the market” has always been around, but still… what if?

The problem that l've been facing with @ente continues to persist. Sometimes Mastodon is better than email.

@casualconversation have 6G mobile phones been launched in the market ??🤔🤔🤔

He’s FtM but he likes being celebrated as a mother even though he usually goes by “Dad” and me “Papa”. After all, he birthed our daughter Violet, who is now 5. :D

I watched the kids movie Grow the other day and it made me contemplate how many parents have told me that raising kids gave them

It’s too similar to p and b. And just look at this: thorn, thee, too vs: þorn, þee, Þoo

I wish to learn about Google forms.

So idk if this the right place to post my rant, but oh well. But how long are bad phases supposed to last? I am 18M in a conservative south asian society and the last year has been pretty atrocious😅. It started with:

I’m up later than i planned to be, was playing quizzes online, and after climbing into bed amd getting out my tablet to waste more time in front of a screen i got a sudden wave of nostalgia, comfort and joy washing over me and thought “huh, i guess that’s why i alwaya used to push my bedtime to its limits!

Context: I’ve been learning Catalan for around 4 years now, and I am around B1 level (I can speak to people, but I know my grammar is still quite broken, and I lack vocabulary)

Yesterday I was on a voice call with some TRON players, and a new player had a problem with their game failing to download some of the multiplayer maps. So we were helping this new guy download his maps from the website manually, and someone in the voice chat said “Just use curl to download them, it’s easier than using the gui”.

@finnmyrstad@eupolicy.social @avilarenata@mastodon.social how can individuals contribute to creating social technologies ? Does it require huge investments and license from the authorities ??

@OSMIndia@en.osm.town l went on a long ride setting my Google map on, showing me the route. It guided me through a longer route, the road was in bad condition, and it took me a long time to reach my destination.

I wanna talk to other Overseas Chinese but they are all either on:

While straight up laughing is definitely fun, giggling requires so little and it is much more socially acceptable at many situations, simply because it is so spontaneous. Giggle away.

I was so worried like: oh shit something is gonna happen and I’m gonna miss the appointment, or forget a document, or something… too suspiciously calm and peaceful…

They say it’s harder to break up with friends than a romantic partner since the rules are a lot less cut-and-dry. This often results in people tolerating others’ company they otherwise wouldn’t be around because they can’t bring themselves to cut them loose.

@rimu @casualconversation @piefed_meta the default colour of piefed is 🔵. Can I make it a colour of my choice instead ??🤔🤔🤔

I have feelings to express but no creative skills. Nothing comes out as perfect as it is in one’s head. So is it even worth it to try?

Its like… I momentarily forget any grudges I might’ve had and just mentally regressed back to when I was a kid… and just… the feeling of being on a team… connected by blood and lineage… together exploring this strange world…

I’ve realized that I’m one of those people who always demands too much of themselves. I’m constantly thinking that I’m not doing enough and that I need to be doing more.

Today I went to Japan and by accident took the car key with me. The car keeps working until you turn it off. My wife also didn’t realize it until she was at home after bringing me to the bus station, and we had no idea where the other car key was.

Ten minutes ago I was randomly reminded of My trauma and had a lot of angry feelings.

I got an electronic drum kit! It makes drum sounds when I hit it! I can plug My headphones into it and it doesn’t annoy the neighbours!

Long ago, I created a test YouTube account to experiment with the recommendation algorithm. I’ve already put it through some wild scenarios, but now I’m trying something new: I’m subscribing to every channel that asks me to. No exceptions, even if the channel sucks.

I use a saddle stitch.

My husband and I went to an exhibition about the solar system at our local natural history museum. There was also an exhibition for children about the human body with really good explanations how genes work, how our ear works, stuff like that.

This might be a weird question, but I always thought that when I walked with only my socks on it felt somehow off when I was at my work place in the office. It does not only feel weird in my head but also the way they touch the ground. Like I somehow forgot how to properly walk.
