    @ScienceDesk I use both hands, but I wouldn't call it ambidextrous. I'm kind of similarly clumsy with both hands. I write left-handed, and do most other things (play guitar, throw) right-handed. Precision things tend to get the left hand, strength things the right. And, I wouldn't say I'm particularly good at using either one. My handwriting is terrible and I can't draw for shit.

    I'm really hoping for Fediverse help here.I have a 14 year old niece. She's incredibly smart and extremely motivated when it comes to engineering things.I want to get her some electronics stuff, like an Arduino kit, but maybe something with wearables, etc. to make it more relevant to her than just a breadboard.She'll also need some books on electronics, since she doesn't have the background in that.Sadly, some limitations:- I can't help her. Her mother won't let my wife or I talk to her. This gift itself will have to be given through a third party.- She has a learning disability around reading- likely dyslexia, and so we need material that's easy to read- Her English is not amazing, especially because of the learning disability.So I'm looking for a kit with a ton of instructional material. Programming, electronics, breadboard, the whole kit and kaboodle.If you have ideas, please share, and boost!#Maker #Arduino #Wearables #FediHelp #Electronics

    I'm not giving interviews about pre-prints that have not been through peer review yet.Yes, peer-review is deeply flawed, but it's the best we have right now. At least someone tried their best to make sure the result is sound. They may fail, but they tried.Papers before should not be covered. And if I'm asked to comment on an un-reviewed paper, I pretty much have to do the referee work myself (which I can't since a review has often several rounds).#astrodon #science #astrophysics #academia

    @sharan then dual booting is going to be a huge PITN if you plan on having Linux as your primary, and the VM solution might be worth looking into. If Windows will remain your primary OS than it won't matter that much.
