It is hard to not feel sympathy though for ordinary people who stand to lose lives, relatives, homes. I have worked with Iranians and never met one who hasn't tried to feed me.

That looks like I would expect sourdough to look...some breads just don't go up a lot.

It's the same argument as "we'd be more inclined to give black people civil rights if they weren't so damn angry and rude", recycled again and again from the same position in society. People like Stephen Fry and Kathleen Stock are the overseers this time around. WHY CAN WE NOT STOP

Though the trans sauna sounds like a really nice idea, or a whole free spa as a small mitigation for *gestures vaguely at the world especially my stupid country* all of this.

Does this dude think you're all sitting in a sauna just sweating or something? Or does he think cis people don't sweat when they exercise? Because my shirt from Tuesday has NEWS for him.

Inkscape is also good for curves - you use the Bezier tool, click where you want to start, where the corners will be, then double click to finish the path, then you use the node tool to mess about with how the line comes into the corners. You can also import a pen sketch to trace.

It'll have a go at *anything*. It was not given a sense of knowing when it might be out of its depth.

Definitely feeling vindicated about sitting on my paper from sHuddersfield until I got another job now. They're not getting that one on my head. I think the others involved now have UKAEA affiliations too so Huds are getting nowt from anybody they flushed down the toilet from that paper.

Though somebody did try and tell me off over the phone and got my one articulate day a fortnight and got TOLD. Apparently a colleague had "never heard me so angry". I was surprised at that because she taught me FIB.

I used to work with somebody who did that and I was just waiting for him to try it on me because I shout back. He never did. Frustrating.

In Hong Kong protests a few years ago people put traffic cones over tear gas canisters which apparently worked.

@jerilryan.bsky.social I think you should repost this to make sure people see it - the sit-down wave could and will get people killed.

Maybe off-topic (probably not on-topic) but under the shade of that hat her pupils are **tiny** and I wonder if that's the reason for both the hat and the...everything

Oh why did I never think to put the yarn in a bowl to stop it running under the sofa? It's such a good idea! Thanks for sharing! And that jumper is going to be TOASTY.

Bake, you say? Did it come out crispy and tasty? I feel like I should try this.

My last cat lost her shit one night with the large bag of crunchies on the floor, slashed the bottom of it with her claws and ate herself silly, but then she had that thing like people get with gin where had too much of it once so she would never eat that kind again. 🙄

Ah I see they too have a dude-wall.
Though tbh if I sat in there I'd be busy looking up in case the lights fall because I watch a LOT of crime drama.

Because you're not allowed to walk at your natural pace so your walking coordination falls apart and you have to do more work to achieve the same distance. Welcome to my ENTIRE LIFE also London sucks.

I know a Dr E (E being the whole of her surname) who had a lot of trouble filling in forms because they would all give it back and tell her she hadn't finished. Sometimes the computer system would also throw an error and not allow one letter as an input.

Like, they're not supposed to be new. That's what research papers are for.

Why do people say this about review articles? I thought the point is to put research that's already been done into context, which is by definition already there.

I used to play it with my brother on steering and me on firing. If I played it by myself I would end up stuck in the side of another ship or something!

Just like using steam to soften wood so you can bend it into wheels, barrels, boats, houses etc. which literally made us able to survive. People who don't make stuff hate being reminded that they depend on people who do.

I was sitting in a before-lunch Monday meeting and it went awfully quiet then I realised I had been doodling monsters, fish and trees shouting THIS IS BORING I WANT PIZZA a lot bigger and more legibly than I thought I was, and everybody was looking at it. Oops

Shout out also to the people whose first concert was an artist who turned out 20 years later to be a sexual abuser so we now have to waste another 5 minutes on stunned silence and "witty" ways to "get back on track".

Then you answer "very small amount of 2-fold astigmatism, 20 degrees to vertical" and that's apparently the wrong answer.

Mr Cat has the "I need a wee" kind of weeing and the "this is my bush" kind of weeing where he stands in front of a spot and does a little back legs dance and sprays like a damn fire hose.
