While stuck in Ilulissat I have tried to deal with the email backlog (again). But they come in way faster than I can deal with them.
I love the idea of inbox 0 but would literally achieve nothing else if I practiced it, and work would be very boring.
Anyone have suggestions for good systems that work for overwhelming numbers of emails?
I receive around 50-60 a day, at least half of them need me to do something, often something substantial so they're not just for info. #LifeOfAScientist #Emails #EmailEttiquette
Friday Links 25-08
Pocket is a big part of how I collect the links for the Friday Links. Sadly, Mozilla has decided to shut Pocket down. My plan is to migrate to Readwise Reader, which seems to be a reasonable replacement. I am now migrating some of my helper scripts to make the change easier. You will see next week if I will be successful. :-)

My removal from #nasa #nyc continued afoot.
I haven’t said much of it here — but my competitive grant proposals (nasa scientists get funded this way since full cost accounting hit in 2004) have been chosen, but not funded.
There is no grant money to distribute. Folks in the know have seen that - ROSES, the acronym for research opportunities in science, does not have a 2025 call and the 2024 chosen post January 2025 don’t have money getting distributed.
If I cannot get proposals funded I will be in the same situation as every other soft money researcher.
So the soft RIF is coming for me and 1000’s of others.

A Reuters/Ipsos poll releasedThursday found that
🔥62 percent of self-identified Democrats said that the party should replace Democrats with new leaders,
with only 24 percent disagreeing with that statement.
A plurality of respondents, at 49 percent, said that they’re unsatisfied with current leaders.
The survey included over 4,200 respondents, including 1,293 Democrats, and was conducted earlier this month

It works, sort of, but dear god what a mess that was to get working.

It works, though. On Linux. And I have a plethora of paths to get it perfect. This weekend will be awesome.
Wer sich fragt, warum manche Verkehrsplanungen so lange dauern oder auch an einzelnen Kommunen scheitern und warum für den Autoverkehr ein bundesweit lückenloses Straßennetz existiert, muss sich mit der Klassifizierung von Straßen auseinandersetzen. Für den Autoverkehr werden Straßen vom Bund auf Gesetzesniveau vorgeschrieben. Länder und Kreise ordnen Straßen für den Autoverkehr über mehrere Kommunen hinweg an.
Für den ÖPNV, den Fuß- und Radverkehr gibt es das nicht.

It's funny how these old closed down coal power plants are coming back online since PJM won't allow crypto mining onto the electric grid. Solar farms are popping up all over (confused because they could do so much better in other places than where it's cloudier than Seattle), but they aren't allowed to connect because a national company forgot to obtain a permit by some hillbilly township with a population of 3.

I’m running CalyxOS on my old Fairphone4, not because it’s a bad choice, but precisely to observe how incredibly behind this OS is on security updates.
My primary device today is a Pixel 9a running GrapheneOS, not this outdated, insecure, and privacy-compromised Fairphone 4.
This Fairphone never became my daily driver once I realized just how far behind it is on security and privacy. I used it from October 2022 until I switched to my Pixel 6a running GrapheneOS in early May 2023,…

Whoever hath her wish, thou hast thy Will,
And Will to boot, and Will in over-plus;
More than enough am I that vexed thee still,
To thy sweet will making addition thus.
Wilt thou, whose will is large and spacious,
Not once vouchsafe to hide my will in thine?
Shall will in others seem right gracious,
And in my will no fair acceptance shine?

Why is my verse so barren of new pride,
So far from variation or quick change?
Why with the time do I not glance aside
To new-found methods, and to compounds strange?
Why write I still all one, ever the same,
And keep invention in a noted weed,
That every word doth almost tell my name,
Showing their birth, and where they did proceed?
O! know sweet love I always write of you,
And you and love are still my argument;…
