  1. @theplaguedoc @HailsandAles wrapping the naan in foil adds a substational percentage of mass, granting improved momentum (including angular).
    next time, the baguette should be wrapped in foil, to reduce variability.

    furthermore, i would suggest recreating this indoors - to reduce external factors (such as the wind you mentioned).

  3. There are certain relatively harmless software bugs that I find endearing and reassuring, because they remind me that automated systems are imperfect.

    One of my favorites is the tendency of Google Scholar to sometimes put the subject of an article into its list of authors. I just came across a GS link about bald eagles that had added B. Eagles as a co-author.

  5. Two new additions from the coast range today, including one I assumed I had already listed. Side note prompted by goldfinches: I hate bird common names with "lesser" almost as much as "least". Back in my biologist days I used to work with so-called Least Auklets, which aren't the least anything. They're the best. Not as important as changing the ones named after colonist dudes, but still.

  7. This has been my goal at Wordle for a while, to have a roughly normal distribution of scores, with exactly as many under my modal score of 4 as above. Now what do I strive for in life? Work I guess. #Wordle #FunAtParties #IgnoreTheLosses

  9. @stevensrmiller @rmondello maybe you would still be an elected official if you were more #funatparties :)

  10. *closes 2022 spreadsheet*

    Ahhh. The joy of turnover and fresh lines to fill.

  12. Fireworks are the gas-powered leaf blowers of holiday times. Loud, unnecessary, bad for the air. Add their effects on pets, veterans and other traumatized folks and it just seems like their cost/benefit is way too far in the red. At least on New Years, they mostly don't start fires, like they always do in July. Mostly. #readytosleep #funatparties

  14. My 2023 life-tracking spreadsheet is going to be so much cleaner and more efficient than my 2022 life-tracking spreadsheet. And a year that starts on a Sunday? *chef's kiss*

  16. The fir die-off here in Oregon is a big, important story, and I'm glad it's getting national attention, but I am 100% against the name "firmageddon". It sounds like firms are dying, not trees. If we absolutely have to use this name, can I please buy a hyphen? #firmageddon #fir-mageddon #pedant #funatparties
