It’s gotta be pahoehoe (the one that looks like honey being stirred)

While there are actually several new world marsupials, I’m fairly certain that they’re all opossums.

Flounders are born symmetrical; eye migration happens as they transition to the juvenile stage of growth.

That looks to be some type of velvet worm.

I’m so glad my favorite moth, the rosy maple moth (the pink and yellow one with a mullet) was in this picture.

The imperial system doesn’t have any electromagnetism units that I’m aware of, so they borrow from SI.

Either ambient instrumental music (lots of Brian Eno) or any music that I know all the words to (so that my brain doesn’t have to actively process the lyrics).

“Maximum Overdrive” for me.

Also, great call on Megaforce.

I cannot remember the last time I saw a KQ5 reference. Well done.

I think they’re implying that a black hole the mass of a person has the same gravitational attraction that the person had before collapsing (negligible).

For anyone in RHEL / Fedora land (or using dnf somewhere else), try dnf needs-restarting to list executables that have mismatched files on disk vs memory. The -r flag will hint if a reboot is needed (due to things like kernel or glibc changes)

The gate crew often gets graded on how quickly they complete boarding, so don’t be surprised when your plane’s “full” overhead compartments are half empty. Stupid job metrics strike again.

The Forever War - Joe Haldeman A fantastic novel on the pointlessness of war, told through the lens of space opera / sci-fi

This reminds me a little of “A Tale in the Desert”.
