#measurements — Public Fediverse posts

It's interesting how some of the latest lawsuits against social media companies and climate polluters were only possible because we now have the technology to measure their impact.

Found a new measurement to add to the bizarre file: cane toads. Good for measuring the weight of space junk. "The estimated weight of all of this junk is 13,486 tonnes, the equivalent of 13 million adult cane toads." Most important for acuracy that we only use adult cane toads! My source for this revelation is https://theconversation.com/13-000-tonnes-of-space-junk-clutters-earth-orbit-heres-how-it-could-be-cleaned-up-283772 #measurements

#Gemini summaries started popping up in my wife's e-mail threads.
With #incorrect #measurements.
"The only redeeming factor is that it at least says it is a generated summary, but I never asked for this"
She's a wedding dress maker.
Wrong measurements quoted...
What if she hadn't been told over and over (by me) that she should stay away from it, and used the output?
It would've cost her a few months of material and work.
Leaving out the reputational damage, the bride without a dress on her wedding day, and such.
Can this shit #genAI bullshit go away now? #AI is poison.

Hype for the Future 208NSI: Traditional English Units of Length

https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2026/05/27/hype-for-the-future-208nsi-traditional-english-units-of-length/

I am very excited for next week’s biennial “User Meeting” at @snolabscience.bsky.social . “Users” are non-staff who utilize laboratory facilities, including building and running whole experiments. #SNOLAB has over 1000 users involved in two dozen projects.

We will use the meeting to spotlight early career researchers, share new #measurements, and review the status of #experiments We’ll engage with lab leadership and collect needs and challenges.

Tracking Progress Beyond the Scale ⚖️

The scale measures only one thing your total body weight but it cannot capture the full story of your strength, your physique changes, or your internal progress.

1️⃣ Strength Numbers That Keep Rising

2️⃣ Body Measurements Tell the Truth

3️⃣ Progress Photos Capture Subtle Changes

4️⃣ Energy, Confidence, and Daily Strength

Ok gang, real question that has led me down too many rabbit holes. Why does my T-square start at 3” (18cm), count down to 0, then begin counting up again?

It has taken a while to get from the idea to this day. However, the hardware has now been initially tested and there is quite detailed #initialoperation #documentation with #measurements available for some parts.

It would be absolutely great if someone were found who could further develop or utilise this basis in any way. For personal reasons, I am unable to do this to the extent that would be necessary (and possible) in the foreseeable future.
