@gunsnrosesgirl3 The Fish in the video is neither an icefish nor glass eel. Reducing the visual footprint is a strategy employed by many organisms in the water column to avoid visually oriented predators, often in early life stages even in species that are not transparent as adults.

@caschy Naja. Ein Überdruckventil gibt es nicht, der Druck in einer Propangasflasche bei 20 Grad Celsius liegt bei etwas über 7 bar und alle paar Jahre werden die Flaschen einem Prüfdruck von 30 bar ausgesetzt, den sie aushalten müssen. Selbst bei 70 Grad ist das noch nicht der Fall.

@kmkocot @Andy_Antarctica @sea_grimes We definitely got those including the juveniles in 2013, the quoted blogpost contains a photo I took on that occasion, there should be more unpublished ones, let me check

@arunsethuraman Haha, for years (literally) I told myself I ought to stop that habit once grown up. Hasn’t happened.

@wareslab Had I known just how little grad school prepared me wrt project management, teaching, group leading, accounting etc I might have pursued a different path. In a sense, I am lucky I didn’t know

@griffiths_huw Yuck! Not to mention the danger of getting run over by one of the unelected govt officials with intermittent eyesight problems roaming the streets to and from this #hellhole

@rmounce Dragonfly indeed, a female Sympetrum by the looks of it

@EvanBalster Using your excellent Formula plugin I am trying to build a https://t.co/tqJznisEo8 in particular the probability density function (top right graph in Wikipedia) with sliders for the two parameters into a Tiddlywiki but so far no success. Any suggestions? Thanks!

@mbeisen These are fake newts, right?

[Prion @Prion]

Outrageous.

So there, it happened: @ResearchGate blocked my account. The academic publishing system is broken and the bad guys are winning! ☹️

It was 'Elsevier' and 'JohnWiley & Son' who complained: better make sure not to share content from them, if you like to hang on to your RG account

@LMDiepenbrock definitely an isopod, but not Bathynomus. It belongs to the cymothoids which are fish-associated ectoparasites.

I want to make an app where you push a button, and someone, somewhere in the world, randomly gets hit in the head with a fish.

It'll be called "Poisson Distribution".

@wareslab That’s why people have students so this task can be delegated. They don’t know any better, have no choice anyway and hence it is not changing

[Prion @Prion]

@siddharth3 This is not what it means. Difficult to translate but a lot closer to "To each his own".

First #Brexit, now Trump? Except this planet is too small to watch from an amused distance.

@strickvl @macdrifter why no dtsyncstore (as opposed to a DTPO database) on a WebDAV server?
