Happy Halloween 🎃

I didn't have time to carve anything this year, so enjoy my 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020 pumpkins.

Hello! This is an automatic account, which checks every 10 minutes or so to see if there has been a lifeboat launch by the RNLI, and if there has, posts the location and time of the launch.

I know a lot of people were very fond of the equivalent bot on twitter/X, so I made this one for you to follow and not miss out.

Please boost to spread the word!

Huh.

So, just now I learned that you can convert miles to kilometers with the Fibonacci sequence?

A mile is 1.609 kilometers.

The Golden Ratio, the ratio between Fibonacci numbers as they get large, is 1.618.

So, within about 1%. And large doesn't need to be that large, it's actually pretty accurate from about 8 onwards.

1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 etc etc

5 miles is 8 km.
21 miles is 34 km.
89 miles is 144 km.

etc etc.

Kinda neat IMO.

Do/Have you used a CD/DVD/Bluray in a while?

What about burning a disk?

I'm surveying modern day awareness/usage of optical media, mostly to confirm some demographic theories, so if you know what a CD/DVD is, please help me (and maybe others) out by answering some ~10 questions here:

And then please boost for better visibility! Thank you!

Do I know anyone / is there a makerspace in Denver, CO please.
