bought a copy of ‘behaving as if the god in all things mattered’ from the secondhand bookshop today and the old man checking me out patted the cover--saying he loved this book. he asked me if i wanted a bag, or if i was going to start practicing what the book preached right now. i said i didn’t need one, and thanked him.

#captain's log #i... love. that store. i love it.#my second day in a row there. i was hoping they'd have copies of oliver sacks' 'awakenings' and 'the man who mistook his wife for a hat'#there because i wanted to send them to my younger brother--who is interested in majoring in medicine when he goes to college--and i had #looked at the sacks books they had there yesterday but i didn't remember if i'd seen them or not #they didn't have either #though they had two copies of uncle tungsten and one of gratitude #i had also gone to a bookshop (pricier--all new books) before but they only had one sacks book--everything in its place--which i got just #cause i haven't read it #but. shit!#i have a copy of awakenings i can send him and it's really the better one to send because i think its more relevant to his interests but #the man who mistook his wife for a hat was the book that made me fall in love w sacks/his writing so i was disappointed that i didnt find a #copy anywhere. and THEN i thought i'd go to the barnes and noble because it was on my way home anyhow but it turned out that it wasn't open #anymore! and the building is being turned into a thrift store. and that was my last resort. i figured they'd be very well stocked and that #it would be my best bet bc the other new bookstore is small and the secondhand bookstore--well you just never know what they have until ya #look there!#so. anyway. i can send him my copy of awakenings but i was hoping to find another one bc it might be nicer #and that way i could still have a copy for myself #but! trying to read it very quickly and get it out to him monday when the post office is open again

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1

The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.

So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.

So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.

Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.

And the probe is working again.

From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

I miss the days when, no matter how slow your internet was, if you paused any video and let it buffer long enough, you could watch it uninterrupted

#spending the next week and a half with the shittiest country internet #and i cannot watch shit no matter how long i buffer

tbh i think the funniest phenomena that's been happening in the last couple years is "youtuber, having gone too deep into the research hole, has been made an investigative journalist against their will"

#like im not gonna name names but i can think of at least 3 channels #where they stopped posting short form content and went #wait the patreon is paying my rent im no longer a slave to the algorithm gods #HELL YEAH TIME TO SPEND 5+ MONTHS PUTTING TOGETHER A 3+ HOUR VIDEO #and i eat that shit up every time

Sometimes I wish we would start calling out the performative radicalism on this site for the poser bullshit it is. "Remember, it's always morally correct to kill a cop!" "Don't forget to firebomb your local government office!" "Wow, it sure would be a shame if these instructions on how to make a molotov cocktail got spread around!"

Okay. But you're not killing cops or firebombing government offices. You are posting on a dying microblogging website to a carefully-curated echo chamber that has radicalized itself into thinking that taking the absolute most extreme position on any subject is praxis but that anyone discussing the most practical way to effect actual change is your sworn enemy. You do not have the street cred OR the activist cred to be talking about killing cops, babe.

#thinking about the person i saw saying that if you're at a protest #and other protesters try to stop you from becoming violent you should just kill them bc 'peace police are still police'#even taken as hyperbole that's simply dumb as shit on every conceivable level #it's also pretty blatantly hypocritical coming from people who are usually self-avowed prison/death penalty abolitionists #like i'm sorry but you don't get to be a death penalty abolitionist and also call for the death of your political enemies online #this isn't a major issue or anything i'm just bored and annoyed
