    A relative keeps posting &amp;quot;saint of the day&amp;quot; images that I&amp;#39;m quite sure are slop, which feels horrifying considering she is an environmental engineer and quite militant about environmental issues.

    I really hate that &amp;quot;microwaves&amp;quot; have wavelengths several orders of magnitude larger than 1 micrometer. These &amp;quot;micro&amp;quot; waves can have wavelengths ranging from 1m to 1mm. Micrometer waves are not in fact microwaves!

    Saturday the previous week was ungodly hot in here (34° C), then throughout Sunday it started getting more overcast until we got storms and cold (as low as 15° C) during the week. Now yesterday we got scorching heat again, and it seems to be holding. This fucking weather. El Niño with the new global temperatures is fucking bonkers.

    @alpine_thistle@fandom.ink Send that to Ridley Scott and he&#39;ll make a follow-up to Kingdom of Heaven, using the names of but changing everything else about prominent Hussites.

    Just finished 35 slides for my class later this evening. Dense, comprehensive slides because it is what the students will use to study. It took me only about 2 hours... but that is because I had already researched, considered what to include and not, organized the topics, planned what I am going to say, saved all 23 pictures, and had a template ready. Preparing classes is a _fuckton_ of work. Thankfully for all my other subjects I already have the classes ready, because only this one is more t...

    &amp;quot;We added a button to cover you in shit, but don&amp;#39;t worry - we allow you to not click the button.&amp;quot; Yeah I am still angry. It should be obvious that I would still be angry.

    The new steam controller looks great, I&amp;#39;d definitely buy one if it cost one tenth of its price. :phpbb_rolleyes:

    It&amp;#39;s a Paradox sale on Steam (Paradox being the publisher of intricate &amp;quot;grand strategy&amp;quot; games). Time to look at it and be fucking mad that they turned up prices of their already expensive DLC and even decided to fuck my country in particular. Oh, and remember that now Stellaris has AI art and voices.

    Heya friends, my instance is completely blocking yours in a week. I&amp;#39;m sure we are not the only ones, many already had &amp;quot;soft blocks&amp;quot;, so once again I&amp;#39;ll recommend finding a better instance and migrate there. Weirder.earth is accepting new users (we can invite y&amp;#39;all), and there are many other cool instances. The .social and .online &amp;quot;flagship&amp;quot; instances are full of problem users (no surprise, considering how ginormous they are), it is jus...

    I&amp;#39;m not exactly _excited_ about it, but the trailer for the Street Fighter movie made it look fun. Which hasn&amp;#39;t happened in a good while - I&amp;#39;m not very into movies these days, particularly not new releases. Probably the fact I&amp;#39;m not particularly into the franchise (I can name some characters but couldn&amp;#39;t tell much about any plot) contributed. I&amp;#39;m sick of adaptations.

    I rushed to the uni so that I got here before 17:00, so that I could submit my application to this new job today instead of next week. And then I found out it was in a different department, that closed at 16:00. Not the department for which I&amp;#39;d work, just the general office. I mean I have until next Friday, I was trying to do it early (because of this kind of shit). But we have a holiday Tuesday and Monday the uni will be closed as well, so it will get closer than I&amp;#39;d prefer.

    Just got the funniest captcha. It asked me to select &amp;quot;all objects that float naturally&amp;quot;, and the options looked like shovels, bunches of screws, and ducks. This is basically the witch scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It should have asked me &amp;quot;who are you who are so wise in the ways of science&amp;quot; when I completed it.
