Things I have, rightly or wrongly, prioritised today over writing:
Napping
Buffy
Cleaning out my kitchen drawers
Eating too many bagels
Watching fossil hunting reels
Napping
Going to the tip
Caramel cheesecake chocolate
Playing with the cat
A sudden urge to dust
Napping
I keep seeing the news about lunar time presented as โthe Moon is getting its own time zone." What's actually happening is the Moon is getting its own time standard. The problem being solved is that time passes slightly more quickly on the Moon compared to Earth (due to General Relativity) and so the Moon needs its own time standard for precise measurements and navigation. UTC is the time standard for measuring time on Earth, and LTC is being created for the Moon.
@dgoldsmith - thatโs a great link, after reading the page twice Iโm sure I donโt fully appreciate/understand the topic.
However this line has zapped my brainโฆ.. โRelative to Earth's age in billions of years, Earth's core is in effect 2.5 years younger than its surfaceโ
@hotdogsladies - Iโm often tempted to try Orca. But I always come back to โI canโt risk itโ - needing the printer (x1c) to function correctly for orders. Sigh.
I see quite a few people in the US returning their Vision Pros. As someone in the UK, it always boggles my mind that this is allowed. We have very good consumer rights here, for the most part, but you donโt just buy a piece of hardware and get to return it if you donโt like it. You by default only get a refund if itโs unused and the retailer agrees (or you bought it online and returned within 14 days) or if itโs damaged (and even then, the retailer has one โright to repairโ attempt).
That Apple monogoggle thing should have a feature that transcribes what people are saying in speech bubbles, blue for Apple users and green for others. More than being an aid for the hearing-impaired, it lets users easily avoid being seen talking to heretics offline as well as online.
I've fallen into "No Man's Sky"! I made it to the space station, and have selected an avatar that truly resembles what I look like... on the inside.
I now have a glowing ball for a head, which seems to be held in place by rotating electromagnets. Magnificent!
#NMS was created for PC but the #VR adaption (which I'm playing) is not at all bad. It's really... quite... addictive. I played for 4 hours and I'm eying my battery and wondering if I could hop on for a few minutes... before... bed...
@elizabethtasker - I bought/played NMS when it first came out. Unfortunately I just fell out of playing the game. Iโm not even sure what the goals of the game are in todayโs version. Maybe time to revisit.
@elizabethtasker - Iโve just been looking for the disc. Hmmm. I think it might be in the loft. No doubt there will be a multi day download required to patch and get up to date. Now where was the ladderโฆโฆ
