I got to explain the stratosphere in the Totally Cooked podcast together with @juliearblaster.bsky.social and the @21stcenturyweather.bsky.social. So much fun to discuss real (and not so real) science! 🧪 21centuryweather.org.au/engage/total...

Growing up means learning important lessons; lessons that fill you with joy & also raise questions that transcend time and can be repeated by many people across generations. Lessons like: YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A CLEAN/ORDERED HOUSE IF YOU HAVE PETS AND IT IS LARGE. GROW A PAIR AND MOVE ON FUCKER!

I suppose then, the head of state where these companies that sell the tomahawks are placed will need to be notified and questioned about this? ...OH WAIT!

Happy birthday to Olga Ladyzhenskaya (1922-2004), 🧪🐡👩🏼‍🔬🧮 #histsci a #mathematician who overcame personal tragedy, faced Soviet totalitarianism & the catastrophic political upheaval of the 20th century to make a huge impact on the math, making important contributions to study of partial differential

This didn't happen. The perception that it did is largely based on fictional shows that were about rich people. Much more common was a household where one person (theoretically Dad in a het household) was the higher earner and paid the housing costs and the other paid utilities & food

Vegan Tiramisu-like treat. Soy vanilla yogurt with carob powder stirred in until stiff mousse kinda thing happens.. Stack graham crackers and layer with mousse. Cover with more mousse. Chill for a couple hours to soften crackers a bit.

Not a baseball fan (grandfather would be disappointed) but I've been told that in the wold baseball classic Mexico is basically abusing of Brazil... 🫠 And apparently each group is basically a non-starer, in one you have USA/MEX in other CAN/CUBA, other has JAP/KOR and other has VEN/R-DOM. JODIDO!

It's #sunday, so it's time for more #sand and another #sandsunday #beach or #coast #photography (a desert can fit too btw). bring your beaches and sand dunes out!

After events such as the coup in Iran that brought the Shah to power, as well as operations involving Pinochet and similar interventions by other agencies in other countries, one realizes that the main problem is that they are "intelligent", but that does not include foresight and wisdom 1/2

Reminds me that because nobody said yes, I left my old camera gear (canon camera, lenses, etc) to the new flatmate (Irish girl), instruments (electric/classical violin) to old gipsy neighbour & my coffee making stuff to a guy that randomly said "yes of course". And they were happy as hell! ❤️🌊

Watching Gosling reminds me that my old female flatmate in UK ran auditions for the room I left, and we found a guy who was basically like Ryan Gosling fit! I said: WTF! The dude is handsome as hell! She’s a fan of Ryan Gosling and said she couldn’t choose him because it would give her anxiety.

Ok! I was not able to see SNL so I will go to YouTube... and I am assuming we have again Colin as Hegseth? I am right?

I also got another stuff from the west pacific 🌊❤️! And yes, this is not a spherical lens! ;) this is another jewel! @nbrookus.bsky.social and @lucidillusions.in ! P.S. Will at som point return to some stores for another general zoom, more modern one and one for astro also more modern one <3!

BTW, another off topic: "The way the diverse branches of the military in diverse countries joke about theIR Coast Guard IS..."

And if the argument is, “Makes no sense, because Warhammer 40K is...” well, that’s called dissonance, like a conservative with a strong religious background (any religion) and being a prick, a leftist and loving autocrats/dictators, or a libertarian dismantling the institutions restraining power...🫠

I just heard a couple of guys talking about how woke people do to like 40K... Welp! I have very very very fucking bad news dudes... there is a ton of people who fight for minority rights that love Warhammer 40K! 🤦After all it is a fictitious universe!
