New paper out today! Endothelin neurotransmitter signalling controls zebrafish social behaviour https://t.co/Ci9hvjx5BX

@LLBroadwell As the owner of one of your strange bikes, 100% can confirm!

@alexevans91 This is very "the dress". My partner detects the sound fine, but says it just sounds like him saying "Ah" and can't conceptualise it as anything else

[Ben Cooper @b_t_cooper]

@alexevans91 Right, I'm with you on this one. I thought when you said "does no one else hear it" I assumed you meant "on their copy". But it's wild to see that people don't hear it ON YOUR VIDEO CLIP! For reference, I hear it on my Disney+ version too

An excellent night working with @BobGooday to fill in our hex map of constituencies as soon as they're declared! Thanks to @undertheraedar for the map!

[Ben Cooper @b_t_cooper]

Still looking very red!

[Ben Cooper @b_t_cooper]

@LLBroadwell Yeah, like so may products (see small smartphones) it's got a vibe of "you'll buy what we make, or you get nothing". I've vaguely looked into getting an EV, but even the smallest ones are substantially bigger than my current car (and yet have less usable inside space!)

[Ben Cooper @b_t_cooper]

@FrogCroakley My guess would be "because crustaceans/insects already exist and are doing in better". Same reason there are so few truly aquatic insects. That ecological niche is already taken, and hard to displace.

Fantastic evening with @mattgreencomedy at The Stand - though so weird to see him in three dimensions after years on Twitter!

[Ben Cooper @b_t_cooper]

Just finished up at this course - after a weekend of doing nothing but digesting the content, I can finally reflect on it.

A fantastic course for anyone with an interest in interference, prediction and bias. Well taught, engaging, excellent materials and extremely accessible!

[Peter Tennant has moved to Bluesky @PWGTennant]

I had a fantastic time delivering the #CausalIntroCourse!

I feel so lucky that we get such enthusiastic and thoughtful delegates. The week is always such fun! ☺️

I'm just sad it has to come to an end!

@daniel_williams I found the Irish process extremely annoying. My witness had to be contactable at their workplace by landline, which ruled so many people out!

Holy crap, a house a few hundred meters from mine just exploded. Spooked the shit out of the cats!

[Police Scotland Edinburgh @PSOSEdinburgh]

Around 10.25pm on Friday,1 December, 2023 we were called to reports of an explosion at a property on Baberton Mains Avenue in Edinburgh.

Emergency services are at the scene, and we would advise people to avoid the area at this time.

@rlmcelreath Very much these vibes from the opening sentence:

Reminder: switching from gas boilers to electric heat pumps would *cut gas demand by two-fifths*, even if all the electricity you need comes from gas power plants

@LawtonTri Teach them it's called an Octothorpe instead!

[Ben Cooper @b_t_cooper]

@LLBroadwell Yeah, this has been an issue with Bison if I'm honest. I've replaced the hub with an identical one, but if it craps out again it's CVT time.

[Ben Cooper @b_t_cooper]

@lisandrina_m Go on then - been meaning to check it out!

[Ben Cooper @b_t_cooper]

@kevinmarks @LLBroadwell Yeah, if it's a power line thing, you could also use a DC/DC converter to isolate the circuit. Obvs has to be capable of handling the maximum power of the speakers.
