I just checked out the article about the active volcano in Réunion Island, named Le Piton de la Fournaise. That’s because I am staying there this month and hoping to catch some lava (not with my hands, duh. I will use a bucket).
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piton_de_la_FournaiseFrom there I read about the Deccan Trapps, a large western part of the indian subcontinent that was pretty much formed by serial lava flows about 60MY ago. Then I was led to the article about LIPs (large igneous provinces), and I’m still falling down that rabbit hole as we speak. Fascinating stuff

Oh, a genet !! They live in the forests of Mayotte, I’ve seen exactly one live before, she was crossing a road in town, around dusk. It’s weird because she looked so much like a cat (same overall size), but thinner and longer, and her walk was super straight, like felines do when they’re approaching prey and trying to stay low, you know. You could have mistaken her for a cat on a picture… but the way she moved was a total callout.
I have a cat now, very long and thin also, whom I affectionately call “little genet”. Heheh
They’re peculiar little critters :3

Fight Oligarchy tour, The Limits to Growth (haven’t actually read it), quicksort, La Marseilles and Borzoi (is it worth it?).
Taskmaster, as we tried to figure out how big the production team was! I don’t think we figured out precisely, but larger than what my husband thought, just going off of how many editors and producers were listed.
Might it not also depend just on how you define “the production team”? Since editing is often termed “post-production”, it would be reasonable to exclude the editors from the “production team”. To me that term seems more to imply the lighting, cameras, audio, PAs, and other people actually on set, rather than the task writers or editors.
Sure. But we were just going to use production team to get a general idea of how many people were task writing! More people in general probably means more task writers! It was all very slap dash guessing on our part!
I’m super curious with what you roughly came up with! I never would have thought to look it up.
“More than four people in the room for writing tasks” is what we agreed on lmfao. So a very rough guess (he said less than, I said more than)
Fluid construction grammar
Unscented transform
Heteroglossia
Lorenz system
Relict (biology)
YuezhiAre you a palaeoclimatologist who is struggling to convince someone of something?
If you were able to see what IP addresses had visited a Wikipedia page, would you be able to take the lists here, assume a reasonable time period going back, and identify uniquely which addresses had visited all 5 (or more) pages listed by each commenter?
Lucky you can’t, I guess?
I have in my Obsidian Daily Note a “Today’s random data” and this has brings me the last five days:
