About to bring an old freezer back to life.

People from BlueSky! Recently my just-planted orange tree started to develop these lesions in the upper leaves and fruit. Do you have any idea what it could be?

I finally finished the calibration of this little monster. All set to observe the Sun's chromosphere during August 12th eclipse!

Deafening pile-up in the 2.2 cm amateur cricket band.

🚨 Beyond the limit 🚨  New ESO study finds that current proposals to launch 1.7+ million satellites into orbit would have devastating consequences for astronomy. The most extreme proposals come from SpaceX & Reflect Orbital  🔭 🧪 ☄️ #DarkSkies #SatelliteConstellations 1/4

Just replaced the dial cord of this old tube radio belonging to my father in law. The cord was greasy and sticky, and it slipped around the knob shaft. Unfortunately the only thing I had at hand was this nylon fish line. Hope it lasts!

Question for people from #Portugal 🇵🇹 I am used to the _subtle metaphors_ of Rosinha's songs. But what's the double meaning behind this song? What does that suitcase mean? youtu.be/uUtC1qHG2vI?...

There's something that is both half-assed and funny about the sign of this café. Can you see it?

Been weeding the garden because in this part of Spain the soil is fertile as hell. I felt extremely lazy to start. But somehow listening to All Along the Watchtower (the Hendrix version) helped me a lot? And I don't even listen to Hendrix at all.

Help! My kefir is disintegrating in little pieces :(

Someone with the handle @velocity69.bsky.social is sharing a video with the caption: "The highest quality video of the moon was just released… so beautiful * Artemis II" It's gone viral, but it's not from Artemis II. If you've shared it, you might want to un-share.

Physics Girl is back!

I was today years old when I discovered that, in old tube radios, the DC field coil of the loudspeaker is part of the power supply as it helps filter the ripple of the rectifier stage. This is nuts.

Coupled LC resonators are important ☝️

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. "Where's the focal plane supposed to be this time?"

Entended que para un gallego el topónimo "Ulldecona" resulte gracioso.

Do you like normal modes? I do like normal modes.

ESTO ES IMPORTANTE Si alguien modifica una foto tuya (Photoshop, IA…) para desnudarte o denigrarte: 1. Ve a la web de la ONG stopncii.org 2. Sube la foto original y la modificada. Borrarán la modificada de todas partes en internet. Debes ser mayor de edad y ser foto de ti, no de otros.

Galegos: que saibades que podedes evitar o modo IA de Google poñendo a interfaz en galego, alomenos no móvil. 10/10

Switching on and off my parametric amplifier. Playing in the spectrum: Kate Ryan - Desenchantée (FM)

The Backrooms - Edición Chamartín

It worked! This mf worked! +20 dB gain, depending on how much pump power I can get into the circuit!!! I could fine-tune it to +26 dB gain, but it was highly temperature-dependent and didn't like it.

You have to admit it, this was a beautiful ship.

Shader systems are ridiculously powerful if you’re clever enough. 

 Most people use them to create visual effects. You know what’s cooler? Running Linux. Inside an emulated RISC-V CPU. Inside a pixel shader. Inside of VRChat...

Hi people from Portugal! 🇵🇹 I am learning European Portuguese, and I really like science podcasts and YouTube channels. What do you recommend?

Yay!

Aaand it's done! Not my proudest soldering, but at least there are no shorts. Hope I can measure this soon.
