I have more curiosity than time or focus. I'm always striving to be a good friend and an ally to all humans. I value privacy but also want to connect with interesting people. So if this passes your vibe-check, please say hi, prefer he/him but "hey you" also works!

I like cute pets, #FilmPhotography, food, #FOSS, nature, #SelfHosting, scuba diving, #Trains, travel, #Woodworking, and unknown future hobbies.

If boosted media doesn't have #AltText, I wrote a #ALT4you comment before boosting.

@n_dimension the effect of gravity applies with inverse square law for all those scenarios but as the scale increases the distance dwarfs the masses involved so the "free fall" is harder to visualize (for me). I still think of gravity as objects on a stretched sheet and the gravity well as the steepness of those slopes. At the galactic scale that fabric is "flat" and the solar system is a small hole, so how can a hole fall towards a flat surface? That's where my brain (intuition) breaks even though I understand theoretically how it works.
I think it really all clicked viscerally once I saw the animation of the sun traveling on a path and the planets constantly spiraling towards the sun but never catching up to it. It's wild!

@ewen exactly! Run first party ads embedded on your page. You need to vet who's messages are showing on your site and how, don't burden your users with that.

Imagine you have a logo/message on your shirt at work, you'd want to make sure it's relevant and appropriate. Now imagine you're meeting with a customer and a logo/message that you have never seen shows up on your shirt and worse it's so big it actually obscures your face and muffles your speech. You'd hardly be surprised if that offends your customer and they walk away. That's exactly what dynamic pop-over ads are.
