Hvernig gat ég ekki áttað mig á því fyrr en núna að þetta sýnir reyktan lax

Correction: I had this locked in by *April 10th* It was such a relief at the time to know that we had a plan and wouldn’t have to think about bridging the school year gap until August 😓

So in total we sent about 150 ice cream cones to delighted recipients 🍦🛸

The Thermo Fisher situation keeps getting worse. We've now collected 450+ problematic images presented as verification data in TF's antibody catalog. This includes: 🖌️ Dozens more images with duplications or painting 🖨️ Hundreds of blots that all share the same background (behold slideshow below)

I am suspicious when a person doesn't like cats. But I totally trust a cat when it doesn't like a person.

People talk about how Europeans go on long summer vacations and that is true, but then (at least in Iceland) the preschools are only closed for 4 weeks, and there is no “camp” economy. Meanwhile, in America…

No no no no no 😱 I registered my kid for 5 weeks of summer camp back at the beginning of May and now they’ve decided their age cutoff is a few months older than we are and now I’m getting a refund and “try somewhere else” and it’s already the 2nd week of JUNE.

We were invited to exhibit our work at Hortus Arboretum for a year for their Art in the Garden program! Opening is on July 4th in Stoneridge, NY #sciart

Finally the dream of AppleScript comes to life

Otherwise, today was a great day

I saw red today. A cyclist on a hybrid ebike, dressed to indicate a normal and healthy fear of cars (hi viz & reflectors) was merging across the road from Palo Alto to the Cal Ave tunnel when a ragtop Mazda Miata felt the bike was too close to his hood and tried to honk the cyclist into oblivion.

I was just wondering why I might want a chip-clearing tap as opposed to a standard tap. Thanks, McMaster-Carr YouTube channel! www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cth...

what engine is this? half a small block V8?

4yo hasn’t stopped mocking me for weeks for accidentally saying “þrír” in pure American phonemes due to swerving the turn while switching languages. Tonight I pulled “..dos, tres” except I dropped a German ‘r’ on tres. Time to quit speaking tongues.

This is a really cool piece on how Alan Alda has funded an initiative to help researchers better communicate their findings to the public through learning improv skills.

This feels like something from @greatdismal.bsky.social

the car is going so fast the air behind it is catching on fire 😍

The art of the long form sign.🔥🔥🔥

english isn't for cowards. if you're not saying 'torpify,' that's a skill issue. there's no Académie Française telling you what to do. if you try to type 'pallific' and freak out when you see a little red underline, maybe you're not ready to roll with the big dogs.

California housing policy is climate arson.

Anyone know an mfg whete I can get some custom safety vests screenprinted? As usual I got ideas eating at me (and I think— I think these should be ANSI 107-compliant!)

UPS package shipped overnight for work, these guys don’t even attempt to ring doorbell or call phone, mark business as closed and now I can pay $7.99 to have them hold it for pickup at the store 0.2mi away rather than “retry tomorrow” I hate every piece of this. Delivery drones won’t be too soon.

The New York Times has written a piece about it, but British media hasn’t picked up on it at all. Just from this one report, it seems that thousands of travelers had to cancel their travel. I’m idly curious how much money the UK economy has lost because of this. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/03/t...

not bitter okay a bit bitter

My family and I were going to London to visit family for a few days, but our Electronic Travel Authorisation, which the UK requires for entry, wasn’t processed in time. The only consolation is that at the airport Starbucks there are other travelers in the same boat. Or not on the same plane, rather.

Classicist here to inform you all that this is ancient Greek for summoning a cat

Minneapolis: any great bike-injury lawyers there? (For a friend of a friend.)

In case you are in the camp of “Andrew Tridgell is vibefucking rsync” please read this.l and adjust your priors. medium.com/@tridge60/rs...

Love that that there are a lot of tests (though honestly not as many as I would expect for something as complicated as rsync), and that "slop-free" openrsync fails almost all of them.

“Every $1300 New York invested in new bike-lanes in 2015 provided benefits equivalent to 1 added year of life at full health over the lifetime of all city residents.” Among many other benefits, bike-lanes are a really smart public health investment. #CityMakingMath www.reuters.com/article/busi...

“Compared with non-active travelers, the cyclists had a 19% lower risk of all-cause dementia, a 22% lower risk of Alzheimer's, a 40% lower risk of young-onset dementia (before the age of 65), & a 17% lower risk of late-onset dementia.” Connecting bike-riding with reduced dementia risk. #UrbanTruth

Screwworm has been detected only 25 miles from the Texas/Mexico border. Seems inevitable this species will re-establish this summer in the United States (it was eradicated in the 1960s).

“Photograph the vibe of the moon in the moment” remains challenge-level: impossible But once again, I tried —

Guys, the moon right now

You used to be able to google the time of the sunset, and Google would give you the exact time right on top every single time. Thankfully, with artificial intelligence, you can now ask Google what time the sun will set and it will conveniently tell you "I don't know."

it's amazing how much money you can spend on local business when you don't need to spend $1,000 a month on car ownership

Tiiiiiiiiny engine

The new 24h velomobile distance record (recumbent with fairing) is 1512 km or 940 mi. That's SIXTY THREE km/h or 39.2 mph! For 24 hours!! www.recumbent.news/2026/05/31/c...

So many projects out there right now with commit charts that look like this (from github.com/RsyncProject...) and I'm just like...why. Why does this shit induce these sudden flurries of pointless (and usually destructive) activity in people? The project was fine before!

the prospect of having to replace rsync with something else, considering how much trust I currently put in rsync to not lose my data, is not a fun one

copying and synchronizing data is one of those things that sounds simple but really isn't, and rsync is historically very good at it. it seems baffling that someone with the necessary knowledge to create rsync would willingly chuck it through the slop grinder

I've been saying that LLMs are machines that destroy information and I wasn't quite ready for the implication that this means destroying software that was working fine that you have relied on for decades
