@1lenore Lenore’s probable next tweet: 60% “San Diego is so hot right now.” 40% “Who wants to drive to San Diego?”

A Maine Coon breeder I admire has two neutered males, ages 5 and 6, one red tabby, one brown tabby whose owner passed away suddenly. I do not need two more cats in my life, but gosh would I love two more giant beautiful cats in my life. I also do not need a trip to San Diego.

@AskAboutAnimals @samanthaiam I was pondering the drag as well. It seems to me that if the drag was significant, the turtle would have evolved techniques for removing the remora. Following that logic, the drag must be below the threshold of significant caloric expenditure, right?

@samanthaiam I always wonder how we consider the drag provided by the remora in situations like this.

I spotted a sea turtle and a remora fish while snorkeling! What type of symbiotic relationship is this? 1. Mutualism 2. Commensalism 3. Predation 4. Competition 5. Parasitism

@damonmc @raymondh One sec, join() does not allow multiple arguments... and here I thought almost all the standard library functions did. I also discovered that it doesn't promote integers to strings, so ",".join([1,2,3]) doesn't return "1,2,3" like it should :-)

@raymondh Python 2.7's docstr was better: Return a string which is the concatenation of the strings in the iterable. The separator between elements is [this string]. A minimal version that captures the gist: Concatenate the strings in the iterable, using this string as the separator.

#Python crowd sourcing: The docstring for str.join() has as awkward sentence that only makes sense after you know what the method does. Can you suggest an improvement? "The string whose method is called is inserted in between each given string."

@damonmc @raymondh Is this a situation where the one-liner docstring could include an example: Returns the concatenation of the given iterable(s) with the [self] string as the separator (i.e. ",".join(['a','b','c']) returns "a,b,c").

@oskay @GeekMomProjects Thanks for recommending a server! I’m @gever@qoto.org now

@NotABombBunkE You sure those aren't ferrets? (so cute!)

Kitten update: Six.

@jenniferturliuk Stop by Brightworks/TinkeringSchool and visit our Mars facility?

@smartinseb @ryokomatsumoto Just so gorgeous! What a delight!

Had fun making tinkering signage playful & interactive today! Q: What if learners could engage with materials right away as they come upon the activity sign entering our Tinkering space? A: @ryokomatsumoto's whimsical #ShadowRemix examples in the form of a sign🎉🎶#STEAM

It was a good day for working on a little boat. Made a mast from a eucalyptus sapling that was cut by tinkerers ten years ago, and a sail from a recycled kitesurfing wing. #tinkering #sailboat @ Montara, California instagram.com/p/Cb3-PfRrbAu/…

Who is the shining star, bringing open-ended experiential learning to #NSTA22 ? @tinkeringLabs of course!

Wow that duck is cookin' fast! Great work making a two-motor vehicle that goes in a straight line!

Of course, who would go into space without their duck? #tinkeringforall

Physical making develops math foundations that are not typically taught or measured on tests! Join us at this in person workshop to learn more about how we integrate math into our project work. Visit our website for more info & to register: ow.ly/I7IO50Ieseh

@smartinseb @exploratorium @SFbrightworks Yes, I always have the voice of Seymour Papert whispering my ear

The best part of working at @exploratorium is to connect with fellow tinkerers! Our friends @gever from @SFbrightworks brought their Mars Mission project today. Watch their remote rover navigate Mars terrain👇#ComputationalTinkering (1/2)

@NotABombBunkE Scrambled, obvs.

Do you like yours scrambled or fried?

@georgebernhard @GammaCounter What? Even for very short blades? Clearly I need to speak to the House of Commons.

@gever @GammaCounter Great little knives. Unless said child lives in the UK, in which case carrying a lockable knife is an offence....

People often ask me what present they should give a child. I have one universally positive answer: give them a pocket knife. At #tinkeringschool we like the #Opinel because of the locking blade and good handle. #giveakidaknife
