What is a fediverse-neutral word for "subtweet"? People here use "subtoot", but that's based on Mastodon's "toot", which is no longer officially used.

"Subpost" doesn't sound quite right. But I guess that's it?

If proposing a space mission that has to be done in 5 years and must launch in 3-4 years; you may not want to suggest an entirely new spacecraft design.

This is not regarding any particular mission proposal. I've just been listening to a lot of mission plans today.

A geomagnetic storm like the one in 1859 would cause significant problems; and we should make some efforts to mitigate that risk.

No, such a geomagnetic storm would not do anything remotely close to "fry all the electronics in the world".

Space based solar power is great for powering things in space.

It is not useful for powering things on Earth.

And groups still trying to make it happen seems like a distraction from actual efforts to switch to more sustainable energy sources on the ground.

I will never understand senior colleagues (i.e., full profs) who brag to me about not having taken a vacation in 10+ years. First, that is not impressive, that is sad. Second, that shaming attempt whizzed right past me, honey. Third, there is power in a union. If one group in the academy needs to do better with this type of talk, it's tenured faculty. #SubTweet

Did you know about HTML?

Learn what is the difference between it and a short Youtube Video for explaining simple Swift concepts like „===“ 🙄
