Tell me about something good that happened today!

[Xitheon]

My fitness tracker says I've used 1337 calories today. (Is "1337" still a thing? It was a popular gaming meme, back in my day.)

 

[LustiTea]

I had a somewhat relaxing day today.

 

[Ramjet]

Saved an American Robin that had one leg with his claws wrapped up in string that ended up wrapped around a branch on the ground.
How on Earth he got himself in that predicament I'll never know.

My snake finally ate after nearly two months of starving himself. He's a royal/ball python and they're known for going off their food.

I rubbed a dead chick all over his (also dead - I don't live feed and I never will. It's cruel and can even be dangerous for the snake.) mouse and left them both in his tank. The chick was just to stimulate him to eat the mouse but he surprised me by eating both of them.

Very happy. I feel like a good snake mom.

Hung out at the beach today

 

[BadRoy]

I drew for almost the entire day. but I got the commission done and proceeded to get drunk so that's about as good a day as I can imagine

 

[Fallowfox]

I saw a woodpecker yesterday, although I did not manage to photograph it.

 

[Fallowfox]

It's raining hard.

We've had such a dry spring the ground needs every drop.

 

[itsmeelysemarie]

I had my hair cut.

 

[Foxridley]

The scientific paper I wrote was published.

 

[Nexus Cabler]

My betta fish made the biggest bubble nest today.

That's a sign of good health and happyness.

 

[ben909]

game got a bugfix for the day after finals

 

[Fallowfox]

The scientific paper I wrote was published.

Congratulations!
Can I ask general subject area? (Provided you do not dox yourself)
Are you tracking the reception on altmetric?

 

[itsmeelysemarie]

...well, it hasn't happened yet but I'm going to see Tootsie: The Musical tonight.

 

[Kara Kusa]

I slept for 13 hours and it was wonderful.

Broadly speaking, the subject area is planetary geology.
I'm not on altmetric, but I'll look into it.

You don't need to be on it.
Click on the hyperlink/DOI to your paper and press 'ctrl+f' 'metrics' on your keyboard.

If your article is listed on altmetric it will be possible to click it to see whether people are discussing the paper on social media,
whether anybody has cited the work, used Mendeley to read it and so forth.

I use this function to read other papers if they cite mine.

I see. I think it's too recent for much to have happened yet.

Two words: Chinese food

 

[JuniperW]

I finished my first year of university. Jesus, am I so happy that it's over for now.

 

[Minerva_Minx]

I managed to have a conversation with someone I hate. Omg, they are stupid.

Guy: So what do you think of what's going on with this exercise.
Me: well, i think we're in an age of super boredom, hype, and mediocrity. We tend to celebrate relentlessness and being a menace to society by aling refuse our inspiration and terrorism our trade.
Guy: yeah, seems legit. So about the lack of logistics....
Me: sabotage and piracy! I think they have chaos as a mental state. Complete counter culture from some unknown underground. I mean we're better than the best. Complete megalomaniacal and harder than the rest.

Dude walks off, my coworker walks up: Did you just sing KMFDM to that jerk and he accepted it?

 

[Foxridley]

Sort of a sad occasion; it’s the anniversary of my dad passing away. As an annual tradition, I went to the creek we used to walk in together and got some nice pics.

 

[Fallowfox]

@Foxridley Those are some good photographs of what looks like a rich area; I'm glad you have good memories there.
Is that a k-feldspar rich granite in the background of the last photo?
The pebbles in the first image look like a different rock like a phyllite or something; is the creek along a fault line or something?

Only minor faults in my area. My area has Devonian shale and sandstone overlain by Pleistocene till. The flattish rocks in the first image are probably locally-derived sandstone for the most part. The boulder in the last image is a glacial erratic, probably from the Canadian Shield. We have a lot of miscellaneous granites and gneisses. I hadn't thought much of the type, but I figure it's a k-feldspar rich granite or syenite.

Went to a monster truck rally. Fun, but exceptionally loud.

Geeking out.
