It's very needy. And all the time I've used discord I've never noticed any change in it whatsoever.

Barley water (horchata, orgeat) _predates brewing_.

But yeah, cows.

New review on genetics and marine disease just landed!

My first paper in Phil Trans!
("You're a _scientist_ if you've got an ology...")

No I'm not in Maths now. Will get that fixed...

Ultimately I think, neither business nor government want this sort of thing. They want you on social media where you can be controlled and monetised.

Which is why I absolutely maintain my own website.

I think it's so much better than invading places and causing wars.

Acid risks it. Hot temperatures risk it. Older milk a risk. Looking at it funny, risk. Divine whim, risk.

Five whys though. Why does the US government want infectious diseases back. Is it an attempt at genocide at certain demographics?

I thought we were in this mode for years already. Brexit, tuition fees, house ownership patterns, poor internet regulation, triple lock pensions... All symptoms of it.

My Bible was a Christening present from my aunt and uncle, who signed it and wished me well on the endpaper. Similarly, I've got a KJ from an ancestor from the 19th century. I would consider neither sacrilegious in itself.

I'm adding Ravenna to this list for 401-410 AD.

Can I offer a local one to me, the Tiddy Mun?

I'm not sure bog spirits count as a cryptid, but still.

These stories when you read them are so often less impressive than they look. In this case, there's an entire plot of land - previously not built on but an old car park - between her and the sea. Lo and behold, it's now being developed. Don't rely on views over derelict land!

I was firm that a live lecture is just one take. So if you're doing a recorded lecture, that's one take too. I've known people mucking around editing and reshooting and the like and... there's just no time for that.

Named is pretty vague, mate. I know six people alone whose names pop up in the Epstein Files somewhere or other. And none of those people had anything to do with him.

Hi think you whill find that the Muppet Show is a quintessential icon of Brrritish cultyure.

New paper just landed!

Measuring consideration of aquatic ecosystems in national biodiversity conservation planning through text analysis

Wait until you find out about coworkers.

Took me years to realise that invalid carriages were allowed.

A poultry effort

Psalms 109:7-9 is a sick burn isn't it.

7 When he is tried, let him be found guilty,
and may his prayers condemn him.
8 May his days be few;
may another take his place of leadership.
9 May his children be fatherless
and his wife a widow.

(NIV)

In Stirling we have so many now that it's a reasonable chance of being right.

This deserved a follow, b.t.w.

I'm never sure whether to support spoonguard or to ban it.

Just think of it as... central. :D

This surely should count towards some sort of Erdos-Bacon-Epstein number or something.

This sort of internet lynch mob is worthy of Twitter isn't it.

lol

I usually work on the assumption that 5% of any survey respondents pressed the wrong button or are too thick to understand the question.

And I see there's a US version too.

This is fun.
