While browsing Twitch streams today I came across a game that's outside of my usual wheelhouse but I HAVE to play it. Tonight: Horsey Game. #gaming #madscience

Here is how I use a corporate sanctioned Windows managed laptop as a perfectly cromulent headless Linux server for sane (?🤔) development workflow, it is, of course, containers all the way down !

I just threw the on switch on my new solar power system. I felt like an old-timey mad scientist!

Muahahahaha!

If there's one thing I've learned from being completely incompetent at getting a sewing machine or camera back to its fully functional default settings after randomly twiddling a knob to see what happens, it's that:

The most important thing you need to know when you start messing with even a slightly complex system is _How To Undo What You Did_.

The scariest thing about this article is that none of the people involved seem to understand this, and are just relying on "the particles will eventually fall out of the sky".

Finally, an electronic components company I can really get behind.

This is another fave vid from his channel.
It's when he milked #spiders & made #GuitarStrings from them.

Musical Interlude: Ever wonder what a mad scientist would sing? Wonder no longer...

I am so in love with this book 💯

Kate McKinnon and team produced a gem 💎 🏆🌟

I would listen to her voice-act anything. Possibly best sound-engineered book I've heard 💜

Cover art. The background is dark green with a gold border and ornate corners. The main focus is a whimsical illustration of three children and an adult standing on the back of a giant red worm with 4 eyes and rows of sharp teeth, which are swallowing the home of Millicent Quibb. The worm is partially visible as it has burrowed in and out of the ground. There are lots of little details like a butterfly flying away from Dee-Dee, Eugenia holding a black parasol, and Gertrude holding a small device with an anyenna. The house has small towers and a giant spotlight, which shines on "Mad Science" in the subtitle, which is rendered is scrawled red block letters like a crazy person wrote it. Title is in a large informal gold font, the rest of subtitle is in small white block letters. At bottom is gold text "By G. Edwina Candlestank as told to Kate McKinnon"

Just bought agar agar and soy lecithin and I’m going to try to #MolecularGastronomy / #MadScience some cocktails next week

A white male character actor I feel I should know in what’s probably a movie still, pouring dark liquid from one beaker to another on what looks like a lab set from the 60s? maybe 70s? Text reads No idea what I’m doing please don’t explode

I think I've stumbled on a #supervillain origin story.

Mad Science isn't all about death rays and trying to take over the world. I mean there are some in the community who go in for that sort of thing, but really? Death rays are a dime a dozen - there is no real challenge to them, and what do they really do to expand our scientific knowledge? Nothing.

Now I know what you are thinking, and yes, some of what some of us do is not morally defensible, and I'm not going to pretend that that sort of thing is something I support. But that is what we have superheros for, right? To deal with those sorts.

The rest of us just want to answer the really hard questions. "Can you stop time?" "Can you travel in time?" "How many licks does it take to get to the centre of various lollypops?" "What if the moon were transparent?" "Is vampirism a disease or genetic?" Those sorts of things.

Why just last week I helped out a fellow who wanted to know about one of those. We only caused a couple of tidal waves, and to be honest, Florida is better off for them. And he got his answer.

So you see? We just want to help people.

I'm sure you've all asked yourselves the question that used to keep me up at nights - "If the moon were transparent, what would an eclipse look like?" - right?

You never asked yourself that question? Why not?

Well, never mind, here is your answer. I commissioned the local mad scientist to create a moon transparenciser and a gravity gun to change the orbit to get a solar eclipse just where we wanted it.

We put it back afterwards, I'm sure no-one noticed. And the transparenciser wore off after a few minutes. But it was enough for me to get this photo.
