I was watching a compilation of shots influenced by the legendary Akira slide (you know the one) and I had a thought:
At some point, the combined length of all the homages to this scene will exceed the length of Akira itself (if they haven't already).
Is there a word for this? I feel like the Germans should have one, at least.
Hmm, wonder what's going on with the kaiju today... most of the earthquakes in the last 6 hours all on the southwest side of the swarm. (all small quakes, biggest M4.1). #kaiju #pondering #earthquakes #santorini
So, tomorrow until Friday morning the big question in my mind is: how well are those debris basins going to work above Altadena/Sierra Madre... and where does all that water and ash go after a big rain now? (how is the condition of the storm drain system after a fire? How will burnt ground change runoff rates?) Also, there is possibility of quite a bit of drainage out of Eaton Canyon, depending on how much rain ends up there. #pondering #EatonFire

(fascinating that there are no electronics in these things, it's all just mechanical, temperature activated contacts and a mechanical timer, plus a motor... big control system with no microprocessors. If all the conditions are met -- below low temp, below max temp, no blown fuse -- then the circuit is complete, and there is power to the gas/igniter circuit. If conditions not met -- max temp sensor too hot, low temp sensor above threhold -- it doesn't fire off the igniter). No CPU cycles involved. #random #dryer #pondering
I am boggled by the complexity and scale of academic journal publishing.
There are at least 15,500 unique _publishers_.
There are at least 116,597 peer-reviewed journals published by those publishers.
There are at least 169 million articles.
But filtering out 'bad' publishers, or 'bad' journals isn't the solution.
Quality is and always was highly variable between articles within the same journal &/or same publisher.

Am I the only one who has some aesthetic * choices which definitely affect if you trust a person ?
Example - anyone who wears a baseball cap with a ~ completely straight brim ~ makes me nervous.
Don't know why but it's quite deep seated ?
Just me ?
[* Choices people can make about how they look, not physical characteristics they have no control over ]
Time to think about moving from this instance but where to go? #Fediverse #Mastodon #Hmmm #Pondering #Indecision
Tengan un excelente día. 
And now for something completely different....
