I loved Twitter, past tense. I joined Twitter in December 2008 and it was very good to me, bringing about thousands of dollars in revenues to my business over the years, friendships, and fun.

Dino Reichmuth, CC0, via Unsplash One way of enjoying road trips is by taking snippets of the little moments that come along the way. These little moments could be anything. The revving of the engine, the howling of the wind, the passage of time, the protraction of the winding road, the reverberation of radio music, the expansion of the majestic world—name it!

I wondered if there was a way of repeating these notifications and reckoned there must be an app to do this, and so I discovered the “Missed Notifications” app. What Does the “Missed Notifications Reminder” App Do?...
One option is to divide the color by a number, get rid of the decimal value and then multiply it by the same number. It reduces the number of available RGB values. For example 100,101,102,103,104 would all become 100 when dividing by 10. Another option is to use color lists. You could use a list of RGB values that match the colors you want to use. I made a list of RGB colors that matched the colors in a crayon box....

We have seen more instances of robots doing novel things people take for granted, like playing sports, handling delicate items, or interacting with humans. These can lead to interesting moments for both parties but sometimes it can be downright weird or awkward. As TikTok creator @foundbylouis discovered, sometimes it’s just perspective. Normally going to an art museum and trying to get near the installations gets patrons at least a harsh glare from security....

In the first edition of the journal Aether, Shaw writes (with colleagues Jean Purgason and Amy Soileau) about the designation of space as a new military area of responsibility. They argue that “the word ‘global’ cannot adequately describe the political/military range of national security consideration,” and that “the concept of key terrain must be reimagined in the domain.” As earthlings grapple with their increasing dependence on space for everyday life, Shaw explains the difference between Space Command and Space Force....
While some people invested hundreds of hours and dollars into building the most complex sets offered by Lego, there are even more incredible possibilities out there.
