  Hubble Finds a Potential Triple Kuiper Belt Object
  
  A distant trio of worlds may shed light on planetary formation in the early solar system. Sometimes, good things come in threes. If astronomers are correct, a system in the distant Kuiper Belt may not be two but three worlds, offering an insight into formation in the early solar system. The study comes out of researchers at Brigham Young University and the Space Telescope Science Institute.

RE: the bluish tone seen after cataract surgery

I have also read that it sometimes confers the ability to see some ultaviolet colors. I'm not sure whether that means wearing sunglasses all the time.

@fu First of all, I'm glad you're trying to take charge of your health. Best wishes for successfully mitigating the heart issues.

As for Tuesdays, I know that seems to be the day the food places have their special deals, so I expect that's the day people are less likely to eat out without a discount. I have no idea if that's relevant to your situation, though.

@sun From what I read, as a child, he was smaller than most of his peers and got picked on a lot. That would probably be the most fitting punishment.

Back in my uni days, I took extra math courses, including statistics, and had to apply them to marketing questions. Maybe I'm retroactively overestimating my skill, because the current #datacamp course (hypothesis testing in R) is pretty consistently above and outside of my understanding level. I know this is decades later, but despite my continued efforts, it doesn't seem to be getting any clearer.

This course is really boring. I didn't think one could make a Python course boring, but they did. (It's part of the IBM / Coursera Backend Developer Program.)

For the record, my first Python course was more than 20 years ago, so their "gentle intro for new people" approach isn't exactly suited for me, despite my not using it much since then.

@sun It isn't that the Fediverse is at all complicated or hard to understand; it is that it is different than what they've already been using. They'd rather not invest the effort in understanding it when they can just move to Bluesky and use it as a Twitter clone. (Bluesky has its own complications and it isn't even truly federated, but one can easily ignore all of those things and just pretend they're on Twitter.)

And if one isn't interested in federation and decentralization, why should they bother learning about it if they don't have to? Go to Bluesky or Threads (as long as they don't turn on federation) and have "Twitter without the Nazis" but without all the botheration (examples: #blockwars / #fediblock, instance drama, policy differences between instances) that Mastodon and the Fediverse bring with them.

Does anyone really trust what Gavin Newsom says? Whether you agree or disagree, you have to feel the "he sees the way the wind is blowing" in his speaking. If the wind shifts again, he'll clarify his statements to mean whatever he thinks will get him elected.

I wouldn't vote for him for any office, not even town dog-catcher, and I wouldn't trust him with anyone's well-being or any sort of asset.

@fu@libranet.de That's pretty bad. When I first heard it, I assumed they were practicing "glide bomb" techniques. (There's a town in Russia near the Ukraine border where errant glide bombs have landed repeatedly.)

> They also reminded Trump of the US obligations under the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, which provided security guarantees for Ukraine in exchange for return of Soviet-era nuclear weapons.

It's terrible that foreigners know more about the US's obligations than our own citizens and political leaders do. If the US is going to avoid its responsibilities, then it should replace the nukes Ukraine gave up.

Looked at my tax paperwork. It's amazing how little I made last year. To be fair, I quit my job in April or May and was off work before that, but the last year I made that little was probably sometime around 1980.
