Had a great time tonight playing some tunes in aid of the Jingle Jam. If you didn't catch the stream but want to hear the tunes, the video is in the comments

This month, @KatDoesMaths and I (+some friends) are raising money for the Jingle Jam!

For the next two weeks, we'll have a mix of streams on Twitch. Donations are greatly appreciated and over £35 will get you a brilliant collection of games!

My latest video asks a rather odd question given I do astronomy as a day job... Given how much money and effort is spent on #astronomy - should we even bother with it anymore? 🔭🧪

Did you know I have a podcast?

It's true! Myself and the wonderful @KatDoesMaths host the @UnstableFluid Podcast.

Something I find really helps me get work done is that feeling of group accountability you get in a library. Turns out, you can replicate that by doing a pomodoro method study/co-working stream!

I'm live with one now over on Twitch

Link in next post.

@kaleybrauer Saw star-by-star cosmo sim on arxiv today and was initially sceptical cause I know what res my cosmosims have. But the first 300Myr at that res? That's impressive! Wish I could have that for all 13.8Gyr of mine!

[Thomas Rintoul @thomas_rintoul]

@aDifferentJT @TaranVH That's what I meant

[Thomas Rintoul @thomas_rintoul]

@TaranVH Hang on, other way round. Physicist can't handle letters...

[Thomas Rintoul @thomas_rintoul]

@TaranVH Imo, A is radial cause the blur is along the radius.

B is an azimuthal blur cause it's run along the azimuthal direction

This month I'm posting a new short/reel every day as part of #SciTember - a sci comm initiative to get more sci commers posting and working towards our goals!

I just posted today's video on IG and YT - links in the reply to this post so this post doesn't get buried...

Don't suppose anyone has a good course they could recommend for C or C++?

An industry placement has appeared wanting experience in a compiled language.

I've done a decent amount of Fortran, but I've been meaning to learn C/C++

Struggling to stay productive at the end of the work week? Well come join us over on Twitch! I'm currently live with a pomodoro study stream - come get that group accountability!

@AnnSkelly3 @ionafyfe That assumes that non-smokers don't want to sit outside. Smokers have taken away the option to have a pleasant meal outside. It's not that people don't want it
