Dak Prescott: Cowboys growing confident along three-game win streak, ready for 'hard-fought game' vs. Lions https://www.nfl.com/news/dak-prescott-cowboys-growing-confident-along-three-game-win-streak-ready-for-…

A boardgame session, a half-marathon, coding, blogging, and a donation to Come Back Alive (https://savelife.in.ua/en/).
Not bad for the last day of the year. I'll do my best for the next year to be as fruitful.
I wish you all a good New Year's Eve, and please pray for Ukraine 🙏 🇺🇦

How far have you come? This page will show you how far you’ve traveled since you were born.
The Cosmic Odometer calculates how far you've traveled through space just by being alive. Even if you've never left Earth, you've orbited the sun, rotated with the planet, and embarked on both solar and galactic travel — all while sitting on your couch. https://…

That is an excellent summary of why solar and wind power is *the* choice for the future even if you do not include climate change in the equation. It is plain and simple the better solution for the 21st century!
We need to get rid of people in power who do not see that as they are being paid to keep the fossil fuel industry alive.
Fossil fuels are a relic of the past and we need to get rid of them.

For the first #ThursDeath of 2026, we have NEKUS from Marburg, Germany and their sophomore LP from 2024, 'Death Apophenia': https://sentientruin.bandcamp.com/album/death-apophenia

Just remembered the band I lost my hearing to in the 90’s that regularly wrecked PA systems in clubs with their bass sound
Coulda included Portland’s Hitting Birth

Disentangling the functional roles of pre-stimulus oscillations in crossmodal associative memory formation via sensory entrainment - Scientific Reports
The state of neural dynamics prior to the presentation of an external stimulus significantly influences its subsequent processing. This neural preparatory mechanism might be of particular importance for crossmodal memory formation. The integration of stimuli across different sensory modalities is a fundamental mechanism underlying the formation of episodic memories. However, the causal role of pre-stimulus neural activity in this process remains largely unclear. In this preregistered study, we …
