  I'm smiling like a simpleton from thinking how much joy our proto ancestors might have experienced from relaxing in a bed with a tog-10 duvet, memory foam mattress and pillow, all with clean dry sheets. I'm grinning like a loon imagining such a thing. I'm feeling so lucky. Thank you. #gratitude #joy #wellbeing

  @VintageProject@oldbytes.space I believe that the content of the response, beyond respectfully highlighting the issue, is of secondary importance to the list of people copied on it. I wish you all the best with this.

  In a fit of dissociated verbage yesterday I conjectured that the reason we cannot find paleontological evidence of astronomical telescopes is because they were all taken away by those fortunate creatures who foresaw and escaped the asteroidal apocalypse. #Dinosaurs #Astronomy #Heresy #RussellsTeapot #Dissociation

  @ferret_stack@mastodon.social Perfection! 😍

  Since cats are suspended in a state of quantum uncertainty, if you make an additional observation of a cat, i.e. a completely different set of reflected photons, is it a different cat? #Cats #UncertaintyPrinciple #Schroedinger #Quantum

  @ferret_stack@mastodon.social I am admiring your handwriting. Even the most mundane wording would look like poetry to me when scribed with this hand.

  Figuring out a model for a stochastically flat D16 / hexadecimal dice. This is a truncated sphere with face positions determined by minimum energy surface-confined electrostatic repulsion calculation iterated until zero calculable difference occured in point positions. All faces are circles of equal diameter. It does means that there is no definite uppermost face when one face is on the deck. So... each numeral has a decimal point which is positioned to be uppermost when its opposite number...

  @MissGayle Yep. Reckon they'd be a struggle to enjoy even at that. 😉

  Study suggests that getting your body accustomed to 30 second sprints can help to control panic attack symptoms. I like the disclaimer at the end: "Oh, but don't do this if your heart is on the wonk cos it'll likely kill you, m'kay." #MentalHealth #Wellbeing #Running #PanicAttack #Anxiety https://www.psychologytoday.com/au/blog/the-athletes-way/202602/30-second-sprints-a-new-way-to-tame-panic-attacks

  There was a time when I liked Fúr Elise by Beethoven but now, I'm at that stage where I have heard the first ten bars so many times, over and over, with at least two or three bum notes, that it is really starting to piss me off. #Piano #Practice #Beethoven #FurElise #Frustration #Motivation #Progress #Not

  @asta@sunny.garden Lately I have been having conversations with some of my adverse memories as part of re-scripting and desensitisation. Beyond the additional cognitive load this presents, I was concerned that I'll end up stuck there whilst the "real" me continues through life on autopilot. Then I realised that very thing already happened a long time ago. Important parts of me are held, tortured in these temporal traps as less and less of me managed to move through time to experie...

  I don't think I'm likely to be shamed into good mental health. All that has achieved so far was to force nascent problems into the darkness where they blossommed and fruited into something far more insidious, dangerous and long-lasting. #MentalHealth #Wellbeing #Honesty

  @ChrisJagged@mastodon.social I guess this poll implies that I can engage in only one artistic endeavour for all time. Is it not possible though, to do what's necessary to pay the bills whilst also using some energy to support your personal vision? Y'know, like most people have to do. Or, indeed shill your tat for some coin and position then, once established, pivot to stuff which matters personaly.

  @argv_minus_one@mastodon.sdf.org My guess (probably wrong) is that DRAM needs regular refresh cycles. With CPU In a halted condition, DRAM contents would discharge and corrupt quite soon e.g. five or so missed cycles.

  Something I found recently relating to wellbeing and establishing some sense of purpose in life. I have a feeling that regular engagement with simple, little positive things gradually steers my perception in a more helpful direction. This article seems like a succinct reflection of my own findings. https://theconversation.com/forget-grand-plans-these-small-tweaks-can-add-meaning-to-your-life-271616 #MentalHealth #Wellbeing #Positivity #Perception #Meaning #Purpose #WhatsThePoint #WhyEvenBothe...

  @jarek_hryszko@mastodon.social I suspect that I may be a generative algorithm, programmed to believe it is a human though I am not well-dressed by any objective criteria.

  Experimenting with sphere retention structures which can be more reliably manufactured using FDM processes. It's "The Octagons" this time! Updated the Git to reflect this latest attempt. https://github.com/StefanoGaivota/Optical-Data-Channel-JellyLoad-Hardware #JellyLoad #3Dprinting #Maker #Optics #RetroComputing

  Oakee doakee... Got the prints back. Sphere retention is a bit too tight with these dimensions. It takes significant force to engage sphere. Will adjust octagon dimensions for greater accommodation. (Can you tell I'm nervous about videoing the process?) #3Dprinting #JellyLoad #Maker #RetroComputing #Optics #Hardware
