I have the best students, who surprised me with a birthday cake 🎂 during our weekly institutional happy hour!!! (I don’t think they’re the best because of the cake, but it is nice to have cake!!)

Anyone have recommendations for books with an unreliable narrators? Fantasy and/or sci-fi preferred, but I’m not genre locked! 📖

Flowers are temporary,
120 skeins of floss and a DMC wooden chest are forever
@jakepost.tech took notes ❤️🪡

As someone who consistently grows lettuce from seed, I didn't know the daisy thing, but good heavens, the conditions are always right for lettuce to decide they don't want to be lettuce anymore, & just wanna be pretty, bitter flowers instead.

TIL lettuce is part of the daisy family and grows a stem with flowers if the conditions are right.

Orange man has never had to personally buy a carton of milk in his life. No wonder he thinks it’s a hoax.

They say AI is killing #art. Here's my attempt to kill AI with real art...

All of my work is painted traditionally on paper using #watercolors or #gouache.

You’re telling me a bunch of old school democrats voted to end debate without any concessions and NONE of them are up for re-election in their state? Huh.

Ol’ Chuck really pulling the wool over our eyes this time 🙄

🚨🚨🚨 The jury has reached a verdict. Sean Dunn, aka the DC Sandwich Guy, has been found NOT GUILTY of assault.

I was only 30 something when I helmed The Enterprise.

Should’ve posted yesterday! In a paper titled “Searching Within Galaxies for the Earliest Signs of Quenching With Spatially Resolved Star Formation Histories in UVCANDELS” we divided star-forming galaxies into bits to see how star formation changed depending on location over the last billion years.

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

A short white lady in jeans & a Tshirt with what looks like the Las Vegas logo on it, except it says ‘What Happens in a Black Hole Stays in a Black Hole’. She’s also wearing hiking boots & a plaid flannel tied around her waist, and she has a short grey haired wig & makeup to look like a grey beard & mustache. Next to her is a tall white dude (with grey facial hair) wearing a sciencey shirt & black skirt with sandals as well as a long red wig and a nametag covered in buttons reading K.E. Saavik Ford.

For anyone who didn’t see it in person… I went as @bmckastro.bsky.social & he went as me!

NYC Early voting sticker reading “Halloween Voter 2025” with a pigeon wearing a witch hat, holding a pumpkin candy basket in it’s mouth.

Simply the best early voting sticker around!

I find the “if he wins, I’ll leave the city” comments very funny, because I just imagine Patrick Bateman saying it.

Update:

Updated my firmware per suggestions, and things seem more stable!

However, my USB devices are acting a bit wacky. Reinstalling drivers seems to have fixed some issues.

That being said, I'm probably one more dead-end issue away from just switching to Linux and living happy.

Also gave me a good chuckle 😂

got the best vase ive ever seen at ikea yesterday

But to this point, I don’t think I’ve updated the firmware since I built the computer in 2020. Checking now, there are updates available, so I’ll install them when I get home today.

One of the nt errors is "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" the rest are "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA"

The intelppm error is "HYPERVISOR_ERROR"

This all happened over a course of 2 hours this morning.

After I managed to disable everything in startup apps, its been idling for a couple of hours without crashing.

When it was on the fritz, there were several complete system lock ups while loaded into windows and only 4 proper BSoDs

Three of the minidumps report "nt" and one reports "intelppm"

The only reason he could possibly want to give med advice is because his buddies financially gain.

Separate shots = higher production demand.

Combined shots reduce injury to children and cost burden on parents.

But don’t listen to me, or unqualified presidents. Listen to your qualified doctors.

If it’s a windows thing, maybe it’s a driver issue?

I don’t even know what more to debug on that front. The minidumps don’t point to anything specific and I can’t even boot into safe mode because the Oct 14th windows update broke usb input in recovery mode 🤣

I don’t even have PS/2 slots on my MB 🙃

Gonna need the cosmic radiation to stop targeting my pc.

Can’t figure out if this BSOD problem I’ve been having is due to software or hardware.

All signs point to hardware since the problem persisted through windows installs.

The thing is, linux and a diag OS have absolutely no issue.

My Message to Muslim New Yorkers — and Everyone Who Calls This City Home. YouTube video by Zohran Mamdani for NYC

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker.

And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows.

No more.

Nothing like the smell of dog pee and ginkgo trees in an Manhattan neighborhood I’ll never be able to afford to live in 🥰

Some days I get a treat on my walk in to teach…

@literallyinsane.bsky.social Hi! Thanks for your interest in joining the feed. I don’t see much astronomy content on your profile, do you have any links to astronomy work you’ve contributed to?
