Our nearest neighbour is watching YouTube. How do I know this without spying on him? He's projecting it onto the outside wall of his 2 storey farmhouse, can't miss it.

Eve says everybody out here in Harwood is a bit quirky. Except us, of course. Right?
#Idiosyncratic

Does anybody know any #outlets or #editors interested in how merchants of #doubt sow derail public conversation on #scientific topics?

Talking more broadly about communication tactics from #antivaxxers to 9/11 #truthers, from #climate #contrarians to AIDS #deniers, every parallel universe comes with its little niche #rituals, #idiosyncratic #fallacies, and historical #trajectory. What they share is their #sabotage of public scientific #discourse.

Feel free to suggest somebody or DM me 😅

We are kind of used to this, but still it is somhow illogical: A Range object, which represents *empty*, can still have an effect when used as a string index:

range = 0..-3
range.to_a.empty? #=> true
"Ruby"[range] #=> "Ru"

It feels less "wrong" when using Ruby's more recent beginless ranges:

"Ruby"[..-3] #=> "Ru"

idiosyncratic jargon

imagining a world where we oscillate between idiosyncratic jargon (individual and tribe ish) and a sort of toki pona ness..
