"Winter ... Am I Right?" Sitting on the front patio in tee shirt and shorts on December 24, 2021. Because ... this fucking year. Yesterday was sitting on the patio in shorts weather. Today? Complain about how hot it is on a walk in flip-flops weather. https://steve.cooleysekula.net/blog/2021/12/25/winter-am-i-right/ ( Feed URL: http://steve.cooleysekula.net/blog/rss2.xml ) https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/73515 -

A joyous day. 378 years ago, Isaac Newton was born. He laid the firmest foundations for the laws of mechanics, which today were used to launch a new space telescope. That telescope was made possible, in part, thanks to his foundations for optics. This new instrument will help us understand the first stars in the universe. -

I was today years old when I learned that the old "rule" from school about "never splitting the infinitive" is not correct and is generally considered to have no rational basis in language. In fact, splitting can make the meaning clearer. First the atom, now the infinitive! -
