„Truly important and significant hypotheses will be found to have "assumptions" that are wildly inaccurate descriptive representations of reality, and, in general, the more significant the theory, the more unrealistic the assumptions (in this sense)“
Who would take someone saying this seriously?

Debugging Desktop Entry files are painful. It validates, I can use it with gtk-launcher, but does it show up in Gnome Shell? No. #Aaargh
Parin ehdokkaan lukemisen jälkeen alkoi jo hirveä aivokipu.
Jesta, että jotkut joutuvat elämään tuollaisen kanssa kaiket päivät! #HRRRR!

I am about to close my luggage yet another time, closing yet another chapter of my life in yet another European city.
While #packing, in the last few days, I realized that I have had the incredible privilege of #moving on an average every six months () in the last four years, and I also took many life-changing trips in between.
The cities I call(ed) home are #Turin, #Venice, #Grenoble, #Berlin, Riva Ligure (#Sanremo), and now #Tallinn.
It is so hard to keep up with the huge amount of feelings and inputs this kind of life entails, especially while being in my 20s.
Still, I am glad, immensely grateful, and partly even thorn, because I would never have had any of this if it wasn’t for my #privilege.
Paraphrasing slightly.
#FedEx: when it absolutely, positively has to get there tomorrow.
Unless it snows in Calgary.
Then it'll be next Monday.
Oh FFS! Shapps for defence? They put the Minister for Internet Scams in charge of blowing things up? #reshuffle #aaargh #UKpol

What's the trick to using zigzag scissors (or any pair of scissors or pointy sharp objects) without acting on the urge to gouge ones eye out or stab someone? #ZigzagEdgesAreFunZigzagScissorsNotSoMuch #NoPatienceForCraftworkAndPackagingAndBlah #aaargh #art #AroundTheStudio
If I could type this in ALL CAPS:

and it still worked, I would.
I’m dyslexic and I’m editing and formatting an overly complex doc for my bff. I’ll try not to randomly bite anyone but I make no fucking promises. #aaargh
In my dystopian nightmare, all movies and television shows are Paw Patrol spinoffs.
"I'm ready to tell you my secret now....
I see dead puppies."
"..ask yourself, do you feel lucky? Well, do you, pup?"
"That's right woodchuck chuckers, it's... GroundDog Day!"

After a deeply frustrating meeting w/a major #openscience infrastucture provider, I wish for this: if you're a community based non-for profit in open infrastructure, make sure you're clear about what you want from potential contributors. Don't change goalposts because you "feel" something might not work out. Be mindful of the time and effort it takes to get support lined up for your initiative. Otherwise your potential allies lose trust in you and look at commercial solutions instead #aaargh
holy crap what is *up* with mastodon bleeping and blupping when messages come in #aaargh!
Strong start, find a large chest everyone else had overlooked, get a good blessing, head to level 2...
