Honestly, how sad is to end a semester course without an even small clapping?
It was a ~50h long performance...

@franco_vazza You're performing? You don't know the material, you are just memorizing the lines? Is this a common thing professors do? Why not just try acting? You could easily get a few commercials. You never know, remember the "Vidal Sassoon" guy? He ended up in Star Trek.

@JohnBarentine Why do I feel such efforts, however noble they may be, will not lead to binding agreements?

richard,
@richard@disabled.social avatar

@JohnBarentine Yes, I know there already was a binding agreement, but my understanding is that was thrown out the window.

richard,
@richard@disabled.social avatar

@JohnBarentine Ah. An affirmation and stronger EU, Japanese, and even Chinese inclusion would be needed.

@JohnBarentine Interesting. I think they should beat the U.S. over the head with them.

@65dBnoise I saw that rock last Thursday. Someone moved that rock!

So many beautiful aurora photos going around right now. Wonder where those amazing colors come from? Here's a helpful breakdown.

When you split up the light of a typical aurora, it looks like this.

Many colors from just nitrogen & oxygen!

This is an astrophysics take of the : I have just used the CosmicRay Detector app on my laptop by the Global Cosmic Ray Observatory https://apps.apple.com/us/app/cosmic-ray-detect-radiation/id1169131314

to measure the flux of muons through the blocked shutter of the Ipad.

I don't have stats to compare with, but since I have already done the same experiment in the last two weeks speaking of cosmic ray detection at lecture, I have the feeling the muon flux is a bit higher now (~1 event/second).

New location for on Sol 1144, RMC 52.1950.

This may be the last location visible by 's RTE camera, as the rover has now reached the theoretical limit of its field-of-view (cyan line). The has been programmed to capture one RTE image every sol for as long as it is able to wake up every sol perform its routine of gathering environmental and system data, as a stationary testbed.

Another album released Friday, also from , is Julius Asal's Scriabin – Scarlatti, which seems to have some good reviews, but perhaps I will have to listen to it a couple of times to see it? Asal seems like a competent pianist, yes, but not "uncommon."

richard,
@richard@disabled.social avatar

As I listen further to Julius Asal's Scriabin – Scarlatti, it really does show potential. I don't think he is there yet, but the potential is there. He should still be an understudy.

@richard@disabled.social avatar

Ah, Julius Asal is 27. Much older than he looks. I don't imagine many of the great teachers in Europe are going to take a 27 year old under their wings. He's just been thrown out there like it or not with the skill-set he has now. That perhaps happens too often. Still, he landed a great record deal. Perhaps I am at fault and I just don't hear it.

Here is something interesting: Julius Asal transcribing #GustavHolst for #piano.

#Holst: The Planets, Op. 32: I. Mars, the Bringer of War (Transcr. for Piano)

Here is it. Aside fro Tuvok's ridiculous quick recovery from burning from the inside out, Tanis is like, "Bring the fire!" and how is that not a cringe moment? Why burn plants as a demonstration of power? Ugh. @allstartrek

@allstartrek "When you are ready, Suspiria will embrace you" - this Caretaker cult reminds me of the episode, "Covenant" with Dukat as the cult leader.

@nocontexttrek Small correction to you Alt text. That is not a communicator Worf is looking at. It is the Nagus's beetle snuff.

I priced out a new sectional for my living room and holy shit the price of new furniture has gone up.

richard,
@richard@disabled.social avatar

@evacide I was just noticing that everything has gone up. Of course, groceries have been too much for some time now, but even HiRes digital albums on have been more expensive, and I am supposed be getting a discount with my Sublime membership. Books haven't gone up too much, at least not in the last few years.
