Our #Introduction: We are an international collaboration of scientists working to detect and study #GravitationalWaves

We made our first observation in 2015, and working with our colleagues in Virgo and KAGRA, have now produced a catalog of gravitational waves from the coalescence of black hole and neutron star binaries

We're currently undergoing commissioning ahead our fourth observing run, when we hope that detections will become an everyday occurrence

We're happy to join #Astrodon

Back in the 90s when I used AOL, Wired magazine had a forum. One day a new user arrived and said she was married to Elwood Edwards, who was the voice that said “You’ve Got Mail!”. So we suggested a bunch of other things he should record in that voice— “You want fries with that?”, “You’ve got credit card debt!”, etc. He recorded them! You can listen to them here: http://www.aolsucks.org/aolsound.htm

SO GOOD. European alternatives for nearly all Amazon, Google, Microsoft products along with alts to Github, Slack, etc. now we need to create a North American version of this. thank you, @vortex! https://european-alternatives.eu/alternatives-to

And finally, I have put my #Dungeon23 into a book!

This book contains all the rooms from the challenge last year, with added maps over all the regions and the cave, and data for the monsters and NPCs for the Dragonbane system. It is a heavy tome with 430 pages, and an equally heavy PDF, since everything is images, not text.

You can buy it at DriveThroughRPG: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/487869/The-Moon-Under-the-Mountain

Thanks to everyone here who said nice things during the process.

A new study of 83,000 adults found that standing for more than 2 hours a day not only doesn’t protect against cardiovascular risks, but it heightens an individual’s risk of circulatory problems.

The rise of standing desks is a result of what I like to csll “wet streets cause rain” style analysis.

Because people who sit around a lot are usually unfit, people decided the fix was standing around a lot instead of physical activity.
