So sorry to hear you have died. I was recently at the exploratorium and saw they had Klein bottles and wondered if they were yours. I was also at your talk at LBL when The Cuckoo’s Egg first came out and remember vividly you coming out on stage in wizard robes and a pointy hat :)

Or the distribution could be leptokurtic like almost everything in the real world. Also galaxies are bigger than you think.

I really like the work Kenny Vaden has done (mostly written in R of all things). His website is https://vadenart.com/ and instagram https://www.instagram.com/kenny.vaden
He also posts on the r/generative reddit and is really responsive to questions/feedback.

There are also pretty active facebook groups where she and others post remarkable slime mold photos ("Slime Mold Identification & Appreciation" and "Ascomycetes of the world").

Which is why if caught in a lightning storm you should crouch with feet together and why I try very hard to only use one hand when doing something that might have the potential to shock me.

I have a friend who bought a pair of magneplanar speakers which he then sold because he could hear the pianists fingernails hitting the keys in one of the pieces. I think he decided there was such a thing as too much fidelity.

The photo of "Claire" is a crop of a stock photo listed as "close-up-portrait-of-a-young-beautiful-blonde-woman-summer-outdoors.html". So yeah, there's that.
Re:Vuescan – Software support for 6500 abandoned scanners
on Thursday March 24, 2022 @02:35PM (#30793719)
My license from 1999 is still valid. I originally purchased it for doing slide scanning on an LS-2000 and once I stopped shooting film I did not use vuescan until a few years ago when I needed to do a bunch of flatbed scans. I was pleased (and rather surprised) that it still worked. I then purchased a standard edition license as a thank you for what to my mind was a remarkably principled commitment to his promise of a lifetime license.
