Just like the Metaverse...this won't have legs.

Obsidian is awesome. It won't meet everyone's needs, but I love the lightweight simplicity of it. But it's also extremely extensible with add-ons if you want to go down that rabbit hole.

I'm not a machinist and probably shouldn't comment. But I saw your post and it reminded me of the movie Blackberry. It's about mobile phones, but the spirit of what you're talking about features in it, and I think you might enjoy it.

Yup. Elizabeth Holmes and Sunny Balwani, same thing. If they'd only endangered patients, they'd have gotten away with it.

One of the better AI images I've seen.

I worked in medical research for a while. I was just a lowly technical assistant with a bachelor's degree, not a doctor or PhD.

But wow, it was eye opening. In the hunt for grant money, folks with letters after their names will massage that data and "reframe" the questions in myriad ways chasing desired outcomes.

Fortunately, peer review tears some of that bullshit apart. So, science works when done correctly. But, the replication crisis looms large, and I am skeptical of a lot of research papers and science journalism to this day.

I've had the best luck with Brother laser printers. For scanning, I highly recommend NAPS2. It's free, and so much better than the vendor software that comes with the scanners I've used.

It's frustrating because it's something universally agreed upon... yet we pretend it can't be fixed. If every single person would simply refuse to fly for 3 to 6 months (exceptions given for emergencies and essential travel) it would 100% get their attention. Voting with our wallets is our super power, but we almost never do it in any organized manner. People are pretty selfish and entitled when it comes to their travel plans, unfortunately. Tragedy of the commons.

My experience on Beehaw so far is that 80% of them are nice and 20% of them are Portlandia characters.

Widespread power outages there.

It's somewhat controversial. I think the majority of astrophysicists say dark matter is probably or even likely real. But there are a small and growing number who dispute this and say the standard model needs revision, and we possibly misunderstand or miscalculate gravity models over vast distances. Sabine Hossenfelder on YouTube has some interesting videos about it.
