2622. Angular Diameter Turnaround
title text: Thank you to Katie Mack for teaching me about this effect, and to Janelle Shane for describing redshifts as 'like galaxies sinking into a pool of dilute blood,' which is how I'll see them from now on.

One of my favourite usability features is when text is converted to a link if you paste a URL on top of existing text. (Slack and #Logseq both do this in a way that's usually "correct" for me.)
I came here to misinterpret the LGPL and chew bubblegum, and I'm all out of bubblegum.

Everybody knows that the Wright Brothers' 1903 Flyer, the first aircraft to successfully fly, is one of the proudest exhibits at the Smithsonian's National Air & Space Museum in Washington, DC.
What most people DON'T know, however, is that for nearly 40 years, the Smithsonian refused to take it.
The reason why is an epic tale of bruised egos, corporate intrigue and international scandal.

#Skillshare gave me my refund after I complained. Hooray for complaining!

Woww, if you ever use #Skillshare, make sure you watch your cc bill closely or set a calendar reminder for the renewal date. Just found an €80 charge that they won't refund because they charged me more than 7 days ago. No they do not send email reminders.

The universe is fucking with me: I signed up for a new bank account for my fun money, and the last 4 of the credit card match the last 4 of the account I'm replacing.
