@nschultz @erinbee Beta decay.

@erinbee @nschultz I absolutely love this. Not familiar with this tube, so must investigate! I was wondering if it used an SBM20.

I have a concept of an "atomic clock" using a home made stepper motor, all in clear acrylic, driving a single hand, based on clicks fromna GM tube.

@Stoori Not consoling, but general {{{hugs}}} because these things still take an emotional toll. Be well, my friend 🖤

@Stoori Language discrimination? Sounds like the tip of a very nasty iceberg.

@clacke @jens I also feel that being open means people can't hold one over me. Whether it's about my disabilities, or my homophobes/transphobes/etc statement in my bio. Also keeps the Wrong Sort of People away from me.

With the health stuff, was always worried that it would go against me work wise, but, being open, I've actually found people to be supportive, if I deliver.

@clacke Is that an Android device? That sounds like an Android reset sort of thing.

@uint8_t My boss and I share this. We had metrics using non-SI units, and with seeming random notation. Now all converted to correctly notated SI units. I took great pleasure in doing that.

@dadegroot @clacke @futzle Daylight after work? Sounds like a townie thing, or at least people who don't have to do anything outside. Us country folk have to put up doing our morning chores in darkness - already. (Sun doesn't rise until an hour after I get up, and it's only March.)

@clacke @kensanata @withaveeay @jens I've been using them what feels like forever, but never seen any theory, so that's my reading for this evening.

@mike Not putting too fine a point on it, but utterly fuck Google.

In the second of two gigs where Google Workspace is standard, but I pulled the plug on it personally a while back. Just dumped the search in favour of Bing last year.

@clacke Tack så mycket!

@clacke Ah, so it's still using the Latin.

@clacke Wow. What does the c stand for in &c? Och - ?

@clacke English has drifted away. Old English wyllan: to want.

Willy-nilly coming from will ye, nill ye (or he) so whether you want to or not. (Nill coming from nyllan, the opposite of wyllan.)

Went down a bit of a rabbit-hole checking that up. https://www.grammarphobia.com/blog/2020/11/willy-nilly.html

@clacke I know you're talking about the writing side but through Röyksopp, I've just been discovering the likes of Robyn, the incomparable Karin Dreijer/Fever Ray (and thus The Knife,) Lykke Li. I've been missing out.

@clacke Gott nytt år!
