#Introduction

Hello World! This is the brand new Fediverse account of Minnesota Measurement Instruments. We are a small manufacturer of thermocouple temperature sensors.
We make high temperature Type K sensors that are used in #pottery #kilns . We believe in the right to repair and make specialty sensors for old and out of production kilns & ovens
We also supply sensors for science to everybody from vaccine manufacturers, universities, solar and electric car manufacturers to space agencies.

What are some good music-focused Mastodon instances? (Edit: for talking about other people's music, and not limited to a particular genre)

A grey day doesn’t need to be a blue day

I’ve been posting about trans men and how we all need to support and protect our men too.

The bigots feel they are every bit as entitled to trans masc bodies as they are to trans feminine bodies. Trans men face violence just as trans women do. Sure, the mechanisms of bigotry differ somewhat, but that doesn’t negate the violence.

We are stronger when we are together. We don’t need contests about who is most oppressed.

"What gadgets do you have for me, Q?"

"Here, you'll like this."

Bond examined the device. "It looks like an Amazon Dash Button."

"An AI-powered Dash Button. It will analyse what you need most, and deliver by drone."

Bond pressed it. A moment later, a drone put a resignation letter in his hand.

In #spoonieTown they clear the sidewalks first.
And there's a sled pulled by the neighbourhood dogs for anyone who needs it until the roads are cleared.❄️

NGO emails will have subjects lines like “an important update from our team” and the update is “we’ve hired a new director of sending important emails”

If you’re part of an org like this, first, I’m so sorry, and second, don’t be surprised when your email titled “please help we are all hanging off the edge of a cliff and going to die if you don’t act now” has an open rate of 0.2%

Starling with a dream.

When I was checking my luggage, the guy at the counter like hardly looked at us or said anything. He was clearly checked out and I get it, it was an 11:30pm flight. My bag was exactly 50lbs, the maximum limit. Without saying anything, he just suddenly walks away without giving back my id or boarding pass. Uhh.

We stand around for like 8 minutes until he returns with a sheet of labels? I'm like, oh great, for sure they're gonna charge us extra. The fees start at the minimum, didn't you read the fine print?

With the most solemn look, he hands me.. a gold star sticker. Then grins big and says it's for getting exactly 50lbs. Lmao.

I started writing a series of posts but decided fuck it, we longform now, and put my thoughts on Twitch's new and immediate 100 hour storage limit into a blog

He's on the spectrum (spending a lot of time programming his 1982 ZX spectrum) (because he's autistic)

btw the way i found this out was seeing their avatar in my follows and going "huh that looks familiar did i used to have a mutual with that avatar on twitter?"

and the penny didn't drop that it was art from my own dang game until i clicked into their profile and saw the banner XD

got followed by someone on bluesky with akko as their avatar and a screenshot from kitsune tails with akko talking to kiri as their banner and that's definitely a nice first. for someone to like one of my games enough to just make it their account branding

Is there a specific name for the "This is not a place of honor" text? I know that it's from "Expert Judgement on Markers to Deter Inadvertent Human Intrusion into the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant" where it's buried in one of the appendices but surely it has its own name, right?

Any tips welcome, please boost, thank you!
