Anyone in the market for a book on seismic design of buildings? Happy to announce that the 4th edition of @ICEpublishing's book that I co-wrote with Edmund Booth, "Earthquake design practice for buildings", is published today. https://t.co/FDQDBBCfk1

@BradZamft Check your DMs!

@BradZamft hey Brad, don’t know if you’re still using Twitter. Did I just see you in London? Looked just like you!

@bea_dnd Visited your shop today while visiting family in the Hutt. Great place! Would’ve loved it as a gamer growing up in the Hutt some decades ago!

@MattNippert Nice of Cronenberg to "use a minuscule crew for the sequence" to make Viggo look respectable - like the dwarfs dancing around the 18" Stonehenge

[Damian Grant @damoslim]

@MattNippert Oh bugger, won’t be re-signing up to Prime again soon then.

@arkinstrocity Cool animation! Does it always give the same solution or is there some randomness in it?

@maxdickins @DomStich @ChapsChoir Wife reading your book: "This is so you!"
Me: "I know, that's why I wanted you to read it....
Wait, which part?"
Wife: "Getting Extra Hot sauce at Nando's"

I didn't expect the Toxic Masculinity parts to resonate quite so strongly!

@maxdickins Read half of Billy No-mates today and it’s only 1pm. Came for @DomStich and @ChapsChoir content, stayed for the hilarious and insightful. The most I’ve laughed out loud reading in yonks!

@DomStich @ChapsChoir Good luck Dom! Hope it goes well

[Damian Grant @damoslim]

Great stuff Alan and Luis. A pleasure working with you, and sorry I didn’t contribute more!

Looking forward to the Mallet-Milne Lecture next Wednesday with Prof Alain Pecker! The lecture is a great opportunity to learn from a leading expert in geotechnical earthquake engineering. We hope to see you all there, and at the reception afterwards.

@dalstondavid @duolingo I won’t tell!

[Damian Grant @damoslim]

@dalstondavid @duolingo “Thank you” is the one thing I remember (and use with my barber)… although wouldn’t have guessed it was spelled like that!

[Damian Grant @damoslim]

@MattNippert I went to bed at lunch and kept dreaming I’d woken up to check the result and we’d lost.

[Damian Grant @damoslim]

@divamva @iuniervo I’d settle for having one! Not sure if conference papers count, but if you have one, then I’ll be happy with yours+1!

[Damian Grant @damoslim]

Anyone know of an earthquake engineer with an Erdős number? Wondering what my closest path would be? @divamva @iuniervo

[Damian Grant @damoslim]

@aimeemcn I’ve forgotten which is British and which is American (and long since forgotten how it’s used in Nz) so safer just to use a different phrase!

[Damian Grant @damoslim]

@aimeemcn Aside from the actual error in this case, it's one of those phrases that means the opposite on two sides of the Atlantic, so is a little dangerous!
