So I’m reading about #outerspace all year. I picked up Harry Cliff’s book #spaceoddities which explains in #layman terms the controversy in the expending universe. Definitely engaging. #cosmology #hubble #bookrecommendation #bookreview https://hollysreadingescapades.blogspot.com/2026/01/book-review-space-oddities-by-harry.html?m=1
Book Review: Space Oddities By Harry Cliff

Your Autistic Life FR/EN/ESJun 15, 2024

I know how jacked up we get on Vimalakirti in the West, because he was a layman who went into the brothel and what not.

But he still preached the sinfulness of sex. (According to the text that I do have.) So he still fell short in my book.

Blasphemous!

I much prefer my approach. Enter the brothel, and help my kinky siblings reach the other shore.

Upaya!

A good #layman 's read about the #neutrino

Neutrinos: The inscrutable “ghost particles” driving scientists crazy

They hold the keys to new physics. If only we could understand them.

@epochemagazine

really a fine presentation of a #masterpiece of #philosophy

... imop suited as well for the #academic #philosopher as for the deeply interested #layman [but] with an elsewhere well trained mind ...

... for such audience it may even be rewarding to drift through this twice ... before attacking the text of book III in detail or leaving the scene ...

Migrated away from #layman. Pretty straight forward and easy to do. #Gentoo documentation is here: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Eselect/Repository Here is an example how I implemented it for packaging #Steam https://github.com/mocaccinoOS/desktop/blob/master/packages/apps/steam/build.yaml

COVID-19: How good is a Novavax booster and with previous mRNA doses? This long thread explores what kind of immune response a Novavax booster is giving people as a primary series and after 2 or 3 mRNA doses in recent studies, and what some of the benefits seem to be. 🧵1/

Explaining something to #layman... or even doing something in front of not tech savvy poeple can be funny.

me: *connects HSM to my laptop*
my mother: *thinks I am going to seriously harm myself*
my mother: *gives me terrified look*
my mother: No, don't do this if you don't have to.

Mum, I'm fine and I didn't lose my head, mind, soul or something else...
😅
