@jamellebouie.net Random person here - when you get around to watching it, you will have a fantastic time. I’m not a Star Wars person at all, but it is really, really excellent storytelling. I envy you watching it for the first time!
@mattkenworthy.bsky.social The polarization vector image is in Figure 5, with little red lines indicating direction of polarization at that point on the surface. No quantization required, probably waves of slightly different gas density starting at the subsolar point and moving outwards like ripples on a pond.
@mattkenworthy.bsky.social …and I am reminded why I am so happy keeping as much of my workflow in flat text ascii files and use org-mode for managing my professional life. It is shiny? No. Is is perfect? Also, no. But at least when all else fails, the text doesn’t change in front of my eyes and I can grep away. /fin
@mattkenworthy.bsky.social I know I’m shouting at the sea, but there’s a reason why I get panic attacks composing bulk emails - the process is far more challenging than it should be. And I know, I know… I should be grateful that ANY of this works at all, truly it is amazing, but every so often it turns and kicks my arse /10
@mattkenworthy.bsky.social and the final Chef’s kiss is that after I assembled the list in Apple Mail, I pressed some key combo and all 50-ish emails disappeared from the To: line. And apple-Z didn’t bring them back. So I had to type them in manually all again, but this time put in a spreadsheet and paste back. /9
@mattkenworthy.bsky.social There’s a standard for email addresses - usually thet format as:
Full Name
… and this works as it could with drag and drop. But if you have a comma such that it says:
Name, Full
…then Apple Mail treats Name as a separate email address! /8
@mattkenworthy.bsky.social ..by half a cell - so I have to guess if I will get the email address in the same row as the full name of the contact. Why is it doing this? Who knows! It’s all a journey of discovery and excitement here on my computer. Also: I’m discovering all sorts of unexpected behaviour, for example: /7
@reuters.com oh my god. he did, didn’t he? ugh.
@pa1ejo.bsky.social ah wait, your question was for any planets orbiting in the progenitor system?
@pa1ejo.bsky.social Good question, and a beautiful image! Yes, if there’s a planetary system in it’s volume, I don’t see why not. Probably not too much of a fun place to be (within a light year or so) when the supernova initially went off… but should be nice now!
@emily.space So I’ve browed their pages(?) and I’m not quite sure what I’m seeing here - how do you use Semble for your research?
@rami.spaceaustralia.com Agreed, but for this there wasn’t enough time to get informed expert opinion on all these other impacted fields without diluting the main case of “it simply doesn’t work”.
@exotides.bsky.social Very cool, I didn’t know that - that’s my new fact today, thank you!
@exotides.bsky.social wait, why AGB star people?
@planetdr.bsky.social You’ve told us all so many stories about your department I am beginning to suspect that it was built on cursed ground….
