@morethanadodo.bsky.social i feel like you guys post a lot of casual museum content so I thought of you while writing this!

Also this very beautiful mask from African masquerade dances, and a delicious lunch at the cafe. All in all a good day!

I went to the art museum today and it was super fun! I got to see this cool guy with a ball and this cute rat

I'd love to join! #addmepleasechef

A nice little batch, about two hours! I should've taken a before pic

Ohhhhhh that's a pretty poor technical design. Or maybe it's not intended for an audience that WANTS to do those things? How do you like it otherwise?

Can't believe I'm wasting my time with the S&P500. I could've bet it all on eggs two years ago and 5x'ed my life savings

Wait what's going on there - you have a controller hooked up to your machine? For what, temperature control?

Woahhh what were some of the back-room books?? Same as today's "controversial" ones?

Whatdya think's through that door?

🏈 <-- one of these guys. I'm just lookin to get tossed around all day by a bunch of burly sportsmen while crowds of thousands cheer frantically

Anyone know of any good feeds for just like...casual chatting, not about any specific topic?

So glad we finally got some snow in Boston

Look at this! Magical!!!!

Today, for the first time ever, I plugged a piece of hardware into a server rack. Somehow this feels like a coming-of-age moment.

This sounds really cool, thanks for the recommendation! I've been thinking a lot about rhetoric + how language shapes people's perceptions of reality, this book seems like an apt exploration of those ideas specific to the context of climate change.

CFS will build its first ARC fusion power plant in Virginia | The Tokamak Times Today, Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) announced the location for our first fusion energy power plant, ARC. We’ll build it in Chesterfield County, Virginia...

We're officially building a fusion power plant, gang!! See you in the early 2030s, Virginia 😍🧪

In cold waters: Seals wear antenna for science under Antarctic ice A seal wearing a helmet with an antenna, what has the world come to? You may be right in wondering that, but it's all for the greater good as Japanese...

Not only are they cute, they're also fellow scientists!!! We must protect them 🦭🤝👨‍🔬

Wow - thinking big-picture, this is a HUGE shift. Has it ever before in history been possible for a younger generation to interact with as many people from prior generations as it is now?

And what are the social consequences of that??

If you could fix one☝🏻 piece of terminology in your field, what would it be?

I’ll go first👇🏻(replying to myself like it’s normal)

"fix" maybe isn't the right word, but I'd love to remove the word "nuclear" from "nuclear fusion". It's technically correct - fusion is a nuclear reaction - but the word "nuclear" carries associations from fission that simply don't translate to fusion! So for us in fusion, it presents a PR problem 🙃

I was wondering if it also had to do with the buildings by the river - I was biking perpendicular to the river, down an "alleyway" of buildings, and thus thought they might be funneling the wind extra fast

Thank you!!!!!! 😁😁😁

Adding more thoughts to this - I love this project because it allows me connect with the idea of fusion energy through play, with my own two hands!

We absolutely need more of this kind of thing, which helps broader society connect with new technologies.

Not sure I'll still have the budget to buy it for myself for Christmas in that case 😂

Hahaha touché 😂😂 maybe I'll spin out a startup and raise $2bn to bring these Legos to market faster ;-)

Super cool, thank you for the link! Took a brief read through.

I wonder how those patient groups are selected in order to achieve as unbiased a dataset as possible. Which presumably is a challenge that applies to all phases.

MAST Upgrade MAST-U Tokamak: A Fusion Energy Wonder in LEGO Form!What is it?This LEGO model is a meticulously crafted representation of the MAST Upgrade ...

Someone made a LEGO model of a tokamak (a style of magnetically-confined fusion device) and I want this so badly, please please support this project so I can buy it for myself for Christmas 🥹🥹🧪

I'm not familiar with the various phases - guessing from context that this represents some kind of testing against a random sample, then doing some statistical analysis on the data you gather?

Watching this thread bc I'm curious about this too!
