why we aren’t more open to separating the work from the artist

Because we shouldn't?

We shouldn't support pieces of shit. Not with our eyes. Not with our ears. Not with our dollars or our attention. Its not like there aren't hundreds of thousands of other hilarious people who aren't pieces of shit. Its not like we don't have literally PLENTY of other options.

Brazil is in the conversations. Mainly for professional reasons and because they do still invest in the kinds of science that my partner and I do, and I have many colleagues there and some family near Rio.

The other is Tahiti, because I've got a pretty substantial Vanilla production operation going at this point, which was kind-of the entire point of why I moved to where I did. I also have access to EU citizenship through my mother, and I as far as a visa to live and work in the country, I think that part should be straight forwards since its basically France. My partner and I also have some connections to the university, University of French Polynesia. My partner has also previously worked for CNRS in Toulouse, although briefly. Buying land might be out of reach because its ridiculously expensive, but I can imagine various ways of making it happen.

We're seriously considering some option at this point, but its very tough because we moved to where we live because this is where we wanted to live. We've also got a wide range of "things" going on that are difficult, but not impossible, to disentangle ourselves from.

Ugh, I wish this guy wasn't so problematic. I really did enjoy his off hand type of humor.

I don’t Mexico to sell chocolate

Well I do Mexico to sell chocolate.

Comedy aside, I think its to address the extraordinary obesity issues that Mexico has faced in the past 20 years. Mexico is in my top 2 of countries I'm moving to as the US collapses, but they have real issues with refined foods and especially added sugar.

Where all the sleeper fatties at?

I mean this is kind of the entire point of why a criminal justice system needs to exist in good faith.

there is only one joke we have to share it

This is basically giving the greenlight to start using actual violent tactics protest.

ftfy.

If protest is going to be treated as a violent tactic, this puts a lot of more forms of protest onto the table.

Growth narratives on the fediverse:

Litterally a scientist working with NASA data and it's scientists and I'm not the intended audience?

I've been in the remote sensing game almost 25 years. And a good amount of that at the federal government. I've sat at the table and shared beers and dinner with the chief scientists behind the modis and gedi mission. There isn't a geospatial data type or format I haven't encountered, and half of them I've buried.

So please, spare this old hand any lectures.

The fact is geospatial has been able to explode because we finally got away from these kinds of anachronistic approaches to data. It's litterally never been a better time to be a geospatial data scientist. Praise be that the age of h5s and local processing is over.

Yeah. h5 is the typical industry shorthand and file extension.

The h5 saga was NASA saying "we're going to create a file format that does EVERTHING", and well.. it does.. poorly.

Everything that h5 is allegedly better for is better solved by just moving to either sql or postgres. And if the data aren't that complex, then just send me a geotiff.

If you send me an h5 the first thing I'm doing is moving it over to sqlite or postgres.

geotiff

fucking fight me.

and if any one posts h5 as their favorite I'll rip your fingernails off with a pliers.
