Sending a little extra love to everyone who experiences today with grief, yearning, or unease.
It can be a tough day. I hope you find comfort and peace in ways that work best for you.
@th3j35t3r I remember when you mentioned this idea a while back and thinking it would be the only thing that would actually make me want to get a VR headset...and now you've done it! I'm going to have to ask Cosonauts for recommendations. The creativity of your feature additions never ceases to amaze, J!
Dose 2 of Moderna today...looking ahead to being (somewhat) less cautious about going out in 2 weeks!
@ThorssonWelles Welcome to Coso! Don't be afraid to interact with people who post something on the community firehose that interests you. Not everyone will want to respond, but I've found that people here are more open than elsewhere to interacting that way
Very interesting story! https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-56755614
Ooooh, entropy!
Finally got my first vaccine shot thanks to the City of Berkeley - if anyone else is an Alameda County resident and needs one, they're well-organized and it's easy to book
@corlin DJ Krush makes marvelous music!

Listen to Wikipedia: A Web Site That Turns Every Wikipedia Edit Into Ambient Music in Real Time.
Bells are additions, strings are subtractions.
Smaller edits sound higher ones, and larger edits lower ones. There’s something reassuring about knowing that every user makes a noise, every edit has a voice in the roar. (Green circles are anonymous edits and purple circles are bots. White circles are brought to you by Registered Users Like You.)
Finally got a chance to use the desktop browser version of CoSo instead of the Android app, so I got to test out #CoSoTalk - it works beautifully!

Welcome to all of the new CoSo folks!!!
A few things about CoSo:
You can expect real people here to be helpful and nice.
You can enjoy freedom from ads, promoted content, and other manipulation.
You can feel secure that your data is private and not being harvested for misuse.
You can see people engage without cruelty for entertainment.
Please take your time, get settled, and savor the difference.
CoSo is a garden in the online desert.

Stop everything for 26 seconds and watch this.
Footage, with sound (!) from the surface of another planet.
You can HEAR Mars,...Just incredible.

For those in Austin and Houston who need clean water, here are some lists of resources.
@Redington Nice to see another Oaklander!
NASA's livestream of the Mars landing is starting (landing in about 90 minutes): https://youtu.be/gm0b_ijaYMQ
@corlin Thank you so much for these!
Phew...what a relief! I'm hoping to have a boring remainder of the day, without needing to worry about what craziness the administration has gotten up to
Woke up without an alarm at 5am Pacific... decided to stay awake because it feels like Christmas morning!
Oh my goodness, that Warriors win was an unexpected pleasure! It's actually more fun when they're underdogs #nba
