Let's have a little clap for NASA and the devoted scientist and engineers that did good work despite having the Orange goober as POTUS. #Artemis

Dammit I liked #Swalwell . Why can't powerful people keep their pants zipped?

@ramsey@phpc.social i DO NOT like rice from the instapot. I had a 20 yo Sanyo smart one that looked like boba fett helmet that finally quit on me about 4 yrs ago. Replaced with an Amazon branded one (smart) with easy washing lid insert. It's about 90% as good as the original Sanyo.

@ramsey@phpc.social features that I like: 5.5cup, retractable cord, nonstick bowl, removable lid steam vent, keep warm, time cook (for morning oat meal), slow cooker.
You'll find most of these features on any smart one, but retractable cord is worth looking for.
Getting CPEs, I realize why I don't like mathematics lectures:
Here is this set of operations and a totally new abstraction language that you have never known before, and here are 2 slides defining operators and their attributes, you have them on screen for 2 minutes.
Now, I'm going to build on this new language to move symbols around on a slide to generate a super-complex new extended language of operators. And then I'll tell you to imagine those iterating over an infinite set of inputs.
Depending on what you reference (the size is different with different references), #ArtemisII just entered the outer Van Allen belt at 60,000 km.

Someone ordered a 2-week supply of TACOs!
if he were going nuke from a bomber, the B2s (or B52s) would already have been in the air by now. Of course there are ICBMs and SLBMs available.
This was almost 20 years ago.
