I’d be tempted to modify my user environment as much as possible, so the ways I use it wouldn’t be transferrable to anyone else’s environment. I’ve already done this to some extent, with e.g. nonstandard command line aliases and highly-customized wrapper scripts around the tools I use a lot.

Reminds me of this:

…yeah, honestly that’s about what I expected.

I’ve actually been really impressed by some of their recent videos. I especially liked the one on jet turbine blades (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtxVdC7pBQM), and their explanation of how displacements propagate through crystals, and how the blades are made with variations in crystal structure that limit that propagation. Yeah, they’re using clickbaity titles on it, but the content’s solid.

Looks like it happened in Chicago, last october. From what I can find, they dragged her off, shuffled her around for a few hours, then released her without charges. In December, she was one of the people that testified before congress about ICE’s abuses.

This is “Serendipitious Green Meteor”, taken by Prasenjeet Yadav in October, 2015. The town is Mettupalayam, in southern India. The meteor was captured entirely by accident; he’d set his camera to take 15-second exposures 10 seconds apart over the course of a night, and only afterwards discovered the meteor in one of them. The picture won an honorable mention in National Geographic’s 2016 nature photographer of the year contest.

Julia Child did some 400° cooking, for a science-oriented TV series called “The Ring of Truth”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQ3mjb9BSaU&t=850s

I recall an anecdote about a mathematician being asked to clarify precisely what he meant by “a close approximation to three”. After thinking for a moment, he replied “any real number other than three”.
