Anyways....I finished grinding my telescope lens with the 30μ grit today. Very excited for when I finally get to aluminize, but heavily anticipating the final boss that is parabolizing the final shape.

It's becoming ever clearer to me that the main issue is not that of maliciousness, but one of apathy/complacency. For every one person who is truly filled with hatred, there seem to be five more that just want to keep their heads down, more annoyed at people who speak up than the perpetrators.

I'm up early studying for my last test this week, and I'm using Severance as a reward. I have learned that the stress threshold for me crashing out appears to be pretty low. Looking into this,,,

"Trans people have always existed" That's simply not possible because people haven't always existed. There was a time before people, and so therefore, there was a time before trans people. And in that time, there were trans dinosaurs.

Tutolo et al. use the Curiosity rover on Mars to analyse rock drill samples. They identify abundant siderite (iron carbonate), indicating atmospheric carbon dioxide was incorporated into the rocks. The results provide evidence of an ancient carbon cycle. 🧪 #planetsci www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
