« On verra si les cyclistes sont encore là l'hiver »

Il faut comprendre que la pratique du vélo est exponentielle. Il y a aujourd'hui ➕ de cyclistes qui circulent l'hiver (2022) que lors des périodes estivales d'il y a 3-4 ans. 📈

D'où l'importance de développer notre réseau.

Indeed, this question could be added to the chart above:
"Am I the best qualified/positioned person to do that job, and does it serve a community I care for?"

I am often taking charge of things for this reason— activities are actually always in that category. This is not the best to reach one's "destination", as phrased in chart, but (at least to me) it's part of the meaning of work (and life) to support communities/things one cares for.

As @JoseEdGomes was writing a couple days ago, https://mstdn.science/@JoseEdGomes/111126486122683297 these jobs are not advancing one's career, actually hindering it.

But if you focus only on "useful" jobs, you become very vulnerable to any low in your self-trust in your science: we all face occasionally times of doubt and even disgust for what we do, if in addition the bigger picture around us has lost any meaning, we're at risk of turning sour.

Yes, happened to me already!

The worse is when you use command-line reboot or shutdown in the wrong terminal—which one is the wrong one depends on the situation, pretty annoying to have your laptop turn off when you meant to halt the machine left running in the office, but quite much worse when you intended to restart your laptop and it's a distant server that goes down!

Doctors can be arrogant. It’s not hard to understand why. Sometimes nuance can feel as it is backfiring. Often there simply is not enough time or resources to communicate clearly. In public health the dangers of over complicating advisories, recommendations & mandates with exceptions & conditions only multiplies.

The public simultaneously wants simple clear rules that don’t waffle or change, but the public will also punish those who make such rules for their lack of transparency and nuance. 1/

It's not so clear whether you refer to the 1-to-1 relation of a patient with their practitioner or of public health decisions -- but from 2nd post I guess it's the latter.

I think more generally that it's always been the burden of progressive parties that, because they aim at curing social problems (as well as health ones) and real cures never consist in just swallowing some random ready-made pill.

214 million years ago an asteroid hit what is now Canada. Now the crater has become a ring-shaped lake 70 kilometers in diameter: Lake Manicouagan.

Did this impact cause a mass extinction? The asteroid was 5 kilometers across, while the one that killed the dinosaurs much later was 10 kilometers across. But that's still huge!

For a while people thought this impact may have caused the Triassic-Jurassic mass extinction event. But now that the crater has been carefully dated, they don't think that anymore. The extinction happened 12 million years later!

In the Triassic-Jurassic mass extinction, all the really huge amphibians died out – like Mastodonsaurus, which was 6 meters long! So did lots of large reptiles. This let another kind of reptile – dinosaurs – become the dominant land animals for the next 135 million years.

So what caused this mass extinction? A mass extinction event is like a crime scene: you see the dead body, or more precisely the absence of fossils after the event, and you see other clues, but it's quite hard to figure out the killer.

One big clue is that there was an enormous amount of volcanic activity near the end of the Triassic and start of the Jurassic, as the supercontinent Pangaea split apart. It lasted for about 600,000 years. In fact, there's about 11 million square kilometers of basalt left over from this event, spread over the eastern Americas, western Africa, Spain, and northwestern France! So, this event could have put huge amounts of carbon dioxide into the air, causing an intense bout of global warming.

For more try these:

(Soon I'll be giving a talk on mass extinctions.)

I appreciated it so much last time in , on the line when both the and (super young) staff hung around while trying to reach a solution with a train which had a failing wheel. They didn't hide from us as many do, and were plain that for them too, being stranded was a problem!

Eventually they "requisitioned" a train that should have gone 1 station further to , but for those passengers a following train was coming 1h later. And with that train, we reached before midnight, just 1h delay too.

And btw the other belonged to another région (although on loan), which means also that nothing's impossible with some will.

That's something we unfortunately sometimes end up with in public services. Not to say that profit-driven ones are better, of course.

Still I think there's a strong influence of the economic model. If I'm not mistaken, it often costs more for to have a train than to replace it with a coach, or even not have it at all. Poor incentive.

Then on staff level, they're stuck between passengers' legitimate expectations and what they can offer...

Amazing, I love the fact that Schwartz had to come back... with scissors, to a failed attempt 3 years later to realise that he'd had just one step wrong.

BUT, there are several wrong steps in the Sci Am story too: they mix up width and length when describing the shortest shape, and later require "two straight lines that are parallel to each other and also in the same plane"...
