@pluralistic that message was AI generated for sure.
@iuculano perhaps, however the sentence should definitely be televised.

Voyager 2 Is Alive and Well!
For those of you wringing your hands for the last few days over the silence of one of the fabled Voyager spacecraft, launched in 1977 to the outer solar system & beyond, you can chill now.
After finding a faint signal coming from Voyager 2 despite its mis-orientation, #NASA made an attempt to communicate with the spacecraft. And it worked!!
Read on & be happy that we'll be hearing from deep space for some time to come.

When you're hired as "IT manager," just to realize you're the only IT person to babysit all servers and devs. 😒

People often talk about their “ideal weight”.
I’m not sure what that means, but not much talk, say, of their “ideal competence” or “ideal wealth” or “ideal curiosity”.

“Don’t delegate tasks, delegate ownership” — Casey Watts
Story:
At a party recently, some guests arrived early and offered to help set up.
They expected me to tell them exactly what to do (delegating tasks)
Instead, I told them my goal and trusted them to do it: “set up the food so it’ll be very easy for folks to get at the food, whatever that looks like” (delegating ownership).
They did a MUCH better job that I would have come up with! 👏🏻👏🏻

No matter how many times I walk past or how commonplace I know it to be, this joint always feel like the set of a theatrical production. #Vietnam #StreetPhotography
