@Sc0ttMackay @Grayo85 I've been listening to Gomez for 25 years and it's not been wasted.

@Grayo85 @Sc0ttMackay My favourite band. T-shirt was from the tour in 2002 when they played the Brangwyn.

@MarshallPhysics @phyphoxorg @isaacphysics @theUKESF @IOPTeaching Have you tried a FLIR or other IR camera with the chocolate? It's (one of the) same pattern observed on Chladni plates.

@realKR1S I'm trying to be gone, shall we say. Aiming for minimal interactions.

Back just to post this photo of the #storm over #salem in #worcester #massachusetts. Taken from the Hawthorne Hotel overlooking the #witchmuseum. 10 sec exposure, f/3.5, ISO 50.

@miss_mcinerney @bennewmark @Soarpoints Well, quite. I don't have a way to prove this is definitely the case, but it does seem like it makes sense and fits with my experience of dealing with students with above-average absences.

[Rich @cypherspace]

@miss_mcinerney @bennewmark @Soarpoints Anecdotally, it has felt like some parents are normalising it. The response to absences feels far more casual, and they feel more justified in children being off school for more minor things, whether regular or not. No data to back this up, though.

@SamuelFurse Will try Mastodon more consistently.

Reddit Is Fun is dead. The official Reddit app is awful beyond belief. I am subscribed to over 100 subreddits; for every 3 posts of those, there is one promoted post and one algorithmically generated post. It means 40% of what I see is useless to me. How does this drive traffic?

@AhmedKhattabUK I'm not energised enough to do the maths properly but this looks like it means early babies get two extra terms of subsidised education?

Hovering in the breeze; meadow pipit or skylark? I think meadow pipit but there were skylarks everywhere so I'm not 100%! #birdphotography #NaturePhotography #rspb #wwt
