No, brain, it’s Martin Guerre, not Martian Guerre
OMG it would be a perfect match: Astronaut goes to Mars, comes back…different. Is it really him? Is an alien presence hitchhiking in his mind? Or is it a shape-changer like The Thing? Or did he simply have a life-changing experience on the mission?
It could be played for comedy, horror (body or psychological), or anything in between.

Followup: I got a better photo using the good camera and tripod after I got home
The problem with getting distracted by shiny things these days is that *everything* on a screen is shiny.
(Note to self: look up current status of e-ink devices.)
Spot. On.

“I am just going to point out something obvious: not reading is easier than reading — and *way easier* than logging in.”
“I don’t want to log in to do a search. If I wanted to log in, I would.”
“if I have clicked into a newsletter on the web, blocking my view of the thing I’m trying to read with a subscription pop-up isn’t going to make me more likely to subscribe.”
Found something that’s allegedly a federated wiki, but the logo being an eagle superimposed on the letter Q sent up a red flag, the example news feed being a mix of tech and right-wing sites sent up another, and the fact that 90% of the search for the hashtag came up with posts by accounts with the same name on different sites including gleasonator sent up a third.
Yeah….NOPE
Why the US banning TikTok would be either ineffective, or worse than TikTok.
The “Chinese Community Party” sounds like it would be a lot more fun than the phrase I’m sure it was supposed to be.
I remember reading about this idea a while back: EV car batteries that no longer hold a strong enough charge for driving can still hold a strong enough charge for grid storage, fitting the “reuse” part of reduce, reuse, recycle.
The big reuse: 25 MWh of ex-car batteries go on the grid in California
I think this is the first time I've seen Duolingo alter *spelling* to make a joke.
I guess by the time you get to verb tenses they figure you have a handle on spelling common words.
Translation: the pig is learning Spanish now. The cow learned Spanish a long time ago. (but, you know, moo)
Google: “You are currently running an experimental version of Earth.”
Well, THAT explains it!
This is not how you usually consume #GPS with #Python.

Ugh…I'd forgotten we were coming up on the anniversary of the refinery explosion that came thiiiiis close to releasing a cloud of hydrofluoric acid into nearby cities…
…and with all the chemical spills in the news lately…
Use form H if you plan to atomize your deductions.
Any recommendations for low-cost cloud-based #ARM servers? I'm thinking about experimenting a bit and mostly what I'm seeing are AWS, Microsoft, Google and Oracle.
Linode^H^H^H^H^H^HAkamai has been great for what I've been doing so far, but they don't have any ARM-based hosting.

(I suppose I could bite the bullet and map an external port to the Pi on my home LAN.)
Yes! @murderbotbot has jumped from the corporate web across to the federated feeds!
It's always weird when I see people complain that the mainstream media isn't covering something…that I'd already read about in some mainstream media.
Apparently it's World #Hippo Day, which of course reminds me of Sarah Gailey's alternative-history novelette, #RiverOfTeeth

I love the headline here:
Tesla Autopilot workers try to unionize, are “tired of being treated like robots”
