Me (Diptych)

I hit the incredible mark of 2K. How? I really don't know. I'm not the most social person here. I mainly post selfmade photos, sometimes boost, am a mega-liker and occasionally smurf a comment.

But I'm still amazed at getting the same vibes here as logging on to #oldskool bulletin boards. So I really would like to thank all of you who follow me here ❤️

PS I intend to make this post sticky for a while and add some observations 😘

Diptych. The spring sun casts a shadow of a human head and shoulders on a tree. A photo post-processing action resulted in an oddly reversed colored head that appears to have lava flowing inside.

#Introduction #Reintroduction Ein hallo von einer neuen Instanz! Ich bin neu auf norden.social, aber nicht neu im #fediverse. Vieles steht ja schon in der Bio. Ich hab mal an Barrierefreiheit mit rumgewerkelt, bin von Geburt an blind, habe zwei Katzen und eine Frau, wir wohnen im schönen Hamburg, ich bin inzwischen Rentner und treibe mich also nur zum Spaß hier herum. Freue mich auf Austausch und nette Gespräche.

On February 18th, 2020 I posted first on Instagram. Two days ago I started Pixelfed and I want to introduce myself.

Italian born and raised, nonno (=grandpa), married to a kind man, raising our grandchildren together. I believe that cooking at home is key to a better life and that being kind to everyone regardless of their provenience and provenance is key to a better world. Love first.

Because of a hidden disability, pain and fatigue are part of my days and part of what I am. I had many surgeries and there will be more. Each day I wake up and wonder, what will I manage to do today? If I do not do something or I cancel a meeting at the last minute it is not because "I do not care" but it is because I have to dose my active time carefully and the little ones have priority.

Cooking is my meditation time. I tell the little ones that cooking is magical and they named me the Emperor of the Kitchen. I enjoy seeing them learning how to make easier dishes for now, and rejoice when they ask questions about how to make a meal healthy while eating everything.

If you want, join me in this magical kitchen adventure and please, remember, no hate, and #smilealways😊 Love to all 🖖❤️

Hi ich bin Max 👋

Ich bin 28 und arbeite als #Java #Developer bei der Kassenärztlichen Vereinigung Bayerns.

Ich wohne mit meinem Freund in der Oberpfalz im schönen Altmühltal.

Wenn ich in meiner Freizeit nicht am coden bin, schaue ich wahrscheinlich Sci-fi-Serien. Ob #Stargate, #StarTrek, ... Ich bin dabei 🖖!
Auch im #Kino fühl ich mich ganz wohl 😁.

Im Sommer schwingen wir uns aufs #EBike 🚴‍♂️ und touren durch die nähere Umgebung.

Restoring Predators, Restoring Ecosystems: Yellowstone Wolves And Other Carnivores Drive Strong Trophic Cascade

photo - wolf crossing a road
schematic - trophic cascade with wolves in Yellowstone National Park
charts - The Yellowstone trophic cascade in context. Wolves were introduced into Yellowstone in 1995 and 1996. Between 2001 and 2020, estimated average willow crown volume in northern Yellowstone rose from approximately 0.30 m3 to 4.80 m3 (A; error bars indicate 95 % confidence intervals). This change corresponds to a log10 response ratio of 1.21 (B), which is substantially greater than the response ratios observed in many other studies (C). Willow crown volume was calculated using height data from Cooper and Hobbs (2023) and the crown volume model from Kauffman and Cummings (2024). Except for Yellowstone willows, average log10 ratios by system type were obtained from a trophic cascade meta-analysis of plant biomass studies (Borer et al., 2005); sample sizes are shown in parentheses; error bars represent one standard error of the mean (C).
photos - (A) Downstream view of the East Fork of Blacktail Deer Creek in August 2004 and September 2021, northern range of Yellowstone National Park, USA. Note the 2.4 m tall fenced ungulate exclosure near the bottom right of the 2004 photo with willows alongside sagebrush, which was part of a Cooper and Hobbs (2023) experimental site. In 2002, willow heights outside the newly constructed fence averaged 68 cm whereas willows inside the fence averaged 85 cm in height (25 % taller). In 2020, willow heights outside the fence averaged 165 cm while willows fully protected from ungulate herbivory inside the fence were 195 cm in height (18 % taller). The fence was constructed in 2001 and removed by the spring of 2021. The similarity, in this example, between inside and outside the exclosure in 2021 is consistent with the strong trophic cascade quantified in the full time-series dataset. (B) Upstream view of Blacktail Deer Creek in 2005 and 2021 and (C) an across channel view in 2005 and 2021 of another reach farther downstream. These chronosequence photographs should be considered examples only, but they do indicate that tall willows, with greatly increased crown volumes, had become relatively common along the valley bottom and floodplains of Blacktail Creek.

#introduction

Or maybe a #reintroduction ?

Polish physician and machine learning engineer, who started as a biomedical optics engineer. I work with medical and life science data for a living.

Big love for FOSS, climate adaptation, sustainability. I'm dreaming of my own, automated hydroponic garden one day.

Not a fan of the current socio-political arrangement, I think we can do better, while it's going worse.

1.d4 over 1.e4, fight me (on lichess or chess.com)

#Introduction (or #ReIntroduction )?
Same me, new instance.
I’m a Toronto #musician and #video maker, among other creative pursuits. Making music in a tiny room, etc. Maybe you heard me on #RadioFreeFedi (RIP)? Maybe not.
Love to chat #recording but in a not very techy way…I love tracking but get frustrated with the mixing/mastering part.
2 years of chef school so I love to hear what people are #cooking
Feel free to say hi.
and
Fuck being normal. Now more than ever.

#introduction #reintroduction

Hello, I'm a programmer and data engineer from Iowa, USA with a background in transportation logistics and agriculture. I specialize in enterprise-scale geospatial analysis solutions. In my 30+ year career I've done desktop applications, web sites, embedded development, vehicular/mobility integration, industrial telematics, mobile development, healthcare telemetry and devops/platform engineering. Mostly these days I do Python and Golang with a bit of JavaScript and rust for fun. I'm a Linux user since 1994 and FOSS advocate.

I've been on the fediverse since October of 2022 but have recently changed instances due to my previous instance's imminent closure. For fun I like to cook and do amateur woodworking, and play PC games. I'm politically left of center. I believe in freedom and respect for all people. I do not believe in religious wars: Star Wars AND Star Trek are both great, vi AND emacs are both terrible. (Neovim is my IDE, and I'm sorry.)

Thanks to hachyderm.io for having me

#Introduction #Reintroduction Hi! I'm Marco, accessibility veteran and former employee at Mozilla and Freedom Scientific. I'm retired now and enjoy every minute of it. I just moved instances and thought I'd reintroduce myself. I was born in 1973, and live in Hamburg, Germany. German is my primary language, with English a close second. I'm blind from birth. I'm also the owner of two cats, a previous guide dog owner, and able cane user. ;-) Also, I enjoy music, audio books, mostly in the fantasy and science fiction genres. Podcast listening and occasional creation are also things I enjoy. Some sports and swimming, too. I have a life partner, am bisexual, and also diagnosed with autism at the age of 46. So yeah, quite a package here.

Nowadays, I enjoy talking about tech, however I refrain from talking about my former work if possible. I'm totally anchored in the Apple eco system, with devices such as an iPhone, iPad, and one or two Macs in my household. Oh and yeah an Apple Watch, too.

OK, enough for now. If there are questions, feel free to ask.

Hi, just migrated to this instance from mastodon.social, so might as well do a #reintroduction of some sort. I used to be raytheonrainbowmissile@mastodon.social, not anymore! I do love me some anime sometimes, but my main interests reside in music, mostly.
My favorite bands/artists for now : Black Country New Road, Stereolab, Fievel is Glauque and Ichiko Aoba.
Favorite animes : Sonny Boy, Kill la Kill, Bleach TYBW.

Looking forward to have a better time in this instance!​:akko_hi2:​

Whoa, I've been on mstdn.games for two years! Let me reintroduce myself:

I'm a guy in my mid thirties and I live with my wife in the United States.

I love #VideoGames and post about what I'm playing often. I attend a weekly #BoardGames group and I occasionally play #MagicTheGathering.

I like #books, though I read infrequently. I don't like cooking, but I love to eat so I'm always on the lookout for new #recipes. I will also post random musings from my day to day life, complain about driving, and link the occasional online discovery.
