I think a lot about what I call the worm parable. A master picks up a struggling earthworm, puts it back in the grass instead of on burning pavement. The student says some version of, "you know there's so many of those, it doesn't make a difference, you can't save them all."
The master says, "It mattered to THAT one." And continues.
Let us all be masters, in our own way.
New study rethinks pre-Columbian turquoise trade. The analysis challenges long-held assumptions about pre-Columbian trade networks.
The Sr86/Sr87 ratio can be used to differentiate between different source areas, even without pinpointing a specific extraction site.

@anarchiv @mikefordays yes, totally agree. What I mean is that I would be fine with
1) huge tariffs on goods, because I don't care that "markets" do well and rich people can get richer
2) every person allowed to cross borders for whatever reason

I need to rave about #Python.
One of my colleagues has deep knowledge about #GreenhouseGas calculations but doesn't write code, in any language. She was giving me instructions on how to perform a calculation, which I kept getting wrong. Frustrated, I just show her my Python code. She instantly recognises the error and tells me how to fix the code. This is the first time I show her Python.
Can *your* programming language do this?

I'll do my master thesis in Sweden, Lund more precisely, in November. I'd like to live in Sweden on my own during one month before starting my thesis (1st october to 1st november). I'm looking for a place/roomate/squat/anything to live around Copenhague/MalmΓΆ/Lund during that time. A queer place would be the best but I'm open for any offer /advice/contact etc...
thank you !
