Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly

By looking at the spectra of an object we can determine what it is made up of chemically. In the image of Betelgeuse's spectrum below, many of the dark lines come from elements in its atmosphere. (some are from our atmosphere). Certain lines indicate specific elements.

For those of you under 30: are you aware of the free software (as in GNU) vs. open source (as in OSI) debate?

I really want to get rid of this notion of "project" and focus on the day to day creation, the wips, the failure, because I mostly never finish project because of lack of time or ressources and I don't want those things to get lost like a los certainly did

X : Do you have any thoughts on climate change.
Me : La La La
X : You don't agree with it?
Me : Quite the opposite. I worked in the industry in the 1990s when we had a chance.

Do you earn more than 32,400USD a year?

If you do, you are the 1%. In my latest article, I give examples of ballpark ecological accounting to determine how you can offset your negative impacts on the world: carbon emissions, animal cruelty, water scarcity, waste management, and loss of biodiversity.

We can change things.

My brother once asked me if there was a function to produce a calendar grid from a list of dates in Google Sheets.

'Snot worth growin' up for, if you ask my opinion."

Too fucking real.
