They resisted writing tree hugger then
I certainly didn't get one in 1989, and I did end up applying to and being accepted by Stanford (for a PhD, not med school)
And one without mentioning Fibonacci? ;)
Sounds peaceful ...
Is she available - not yet been hired by the Trump administrtaion then
Did you know there's a part of Utrecht where all of the street names are butterflies?
There's always been a lot wrong with him
Poor you. Brings back memories of some very grotty toilets.
Yep - it's fun getting neked in a public toilet - and making sure nothing but the soles of your shoes touch the floor! Enjoy
About time his membership of the human race was revoked
Yep - always do the opposite of what any decent, wise president/person would do
Trump often has a smiley face too. Definitely a parasite.
... And mixing household cleaning agents
That word that Americans really don't like to use is getting a lot more use with Trump & his idiots in the White House
There are other producers - a friend of mine in Denmark has a company sourcing it from another West African country
Because he absolutely hasn't got anything more important to do ...
Was, past tense
It's the English language in his throat fighting not to be abused by his nonsense
Lunatic!
Yep. It is my *sometimes reliable* friend, who's always there for a quick question to get me started -- then I cross-reference & double check everything of interest. And pretty reliable when the source material is well documented -- I was learning basic nutrition biochemistry from it recently.
Yep. Never without human intervention. That is dangerous. In my case it found a connection between 2 things I gave it - previously overlooked - and that enables me to pose a question come the time. A massive help in that sense. Also great at 1st drafts of BS legal letters - I hate writing them
It can be a pretty good lawyer! I gave it some documents recently - and it found a thing the humans (albeit idiotic tax officials) have been missing for years :)
How much thought goes into wind turbine paint systems, I wonder. Matt, non-reflecting etc.
Keep track when it's not a lie -- much easier ;)
Thanks for explaining. It's always been a thing, happens periodically - just a bit annoying .... but then I go to 6 Music :)
Ah, OK. so it could be here - I bet the hot water wasn't connected in that mixer tap (which confused me); they (now) usually just have a cold tap, as you'll know. I have seen those soap things, didn't think it was here - but the tiny sink is certainly very Dutch.
@rickedwards1.bsky.social @rachelburden.bsky.social Technical problem - the sports rights recording just started up - for no reason - so us listening online outside of the UK can no longer hear you. Please tell your tech guys. Thanks
Not NL - but you could certainly play that game with toilet sinks here too
Shame about that....sad. Hope the fence is okay
It's got a sail! Much like when my mother named her cat Bonnie after Chris Bonnington because it liked climbing!
Currently operating at warp speed then
It would be good to see a real kintsugi Erlenmeyer!
Long podcast then!
Yep, there's a future ep for you - history's wartime inventions
Yep, the golf course needs him ...
Sounds like they have peace on their mind then
Trump suggests ... air Yep, he's mostly hot air.
Plumming the depths of humour there
Sounds good, I'll be here. And if you have any settling in, getting to know how to do stuff in NL questions let me know. Happy to help.
Thanks. Yep, it's a bit of a craft beer fest in this places these days - Jopen's church in Haarlem and others. Let me know if you're in Utrecht, happy to give you a beer tour -- Kafe Beligei is well worth a visit, so many beers in that place.
Canola is the worst example anyway - it's got a very good fatty acid profile - especially compared to awful animal fats
I see you're a brewer too - are you finding some good stuff in Amsterdam? e.g. 'IJ. We've got some nice little breweries in Utrecht too.
He's never heard of Sarah Palin's house then
Not really. I'd give him rare credit there. I'm much younger and my knees are shit
Well, he would be if he gave a fuck
He says words - mostly uninformed - mostly wrong - many lies. Simple really - don't believe his BS
You found the right path eventually then :)
@rickedwards1.bsky.social Sprinters don't actually have big calves -- I was also surprised to learn that listening to a physiology expert a while back. Huge quads maybe, with skinny calves.
Putin be kicking Alaskan ice in his face tomorrow
Utrecht's -- it's even better :)
@rickedwards1.bsky.social Trump is making the script of Idiocracy reality -- of course there will be UFC at The White House
A first time for everything then ...
Yes. If you have reason to think about it - do it.
@jimsciutto.bsky.social How come you can't say quorum correctly - you've invented your own version there 😉
Bloob-berry - 3, see!
Yep, several milliseconds of deep thought for that genius :)
Sorry to hear that. We're friendly us chemists - always available if you need a molecular help out. PX5 is right - provided the bond angles are good (but that is pedantic!) Saw an awful one on a website today - an AI generated molecule, total nonsense. They should have asked an expert.
Fender Catocaster, innit
Sounds like the right place for the job. I missed out on lots of early rehab because I moved cities - possibly slowed the recovery
Mean & Mini Mean
Yep. So many sports people do it. And come back from it. And it can be a very big deal. i pretty much operate with 1.5 legs, given the left is weaker.
Well, you'd have to pay people to take the drugs that RFK is coming up with!
@gregjenner.bsky.social Maybe you can do an ep on the history of arthroscopic surgery -- I'm happy I got my ACL fixed in the 90s not the 80s, when I tore it - www.bbc.com/sport/footba...
Putin wants to play him personally then ...
Well, hmm -- PCl5/PF5 gives it a reasonfor that structure. Artistic license of a molecule on the cover of a book about scientific communication -- a wrong molecule might just rile the chemists ;)
Congrats! Molecule on the cover? PF5 or PCl5? Or a 5-bonded carbon (I hope not) :)
Yep, perfect for Japan's narrow residential roads
It didn't make his hands bigger though :)
That's a Bond movie, isn't it!?
I think it's a whole lot easier to understand when the terminology is right -- the little-known word xenobiotic needs to get a lot more use. If something is xenobiotic, i.e. not known to nature, then it certainly shouldn't be food. One word can do a lot of heavy lifting there.
This is awful autotuned crap by The Voidz -- autotune should be banned from 6Music, it's not music
Yeah, but he's much worse even than that...
React ... with laughter?
Took a while to grow the coffee beans, too, I bet... editors don't think about that
Better to write a book about why her campaign didn't begin 3 years earlier
@rachelburden.bsky.social @rickedwards1.bsky.social BMI is perfect ... for identifying who really knows what they are talking about RE: health and fitness. And who can't figure out the difference between a jelly belly & rock hard muscle man! It's obviously an appalling equation but is a handy guide.
No
Likely excited about what's next. Spewing out a train of thoughts and details -- busy minds wanting to get on with the next thing troubling them ... More media training required perhaps :)
Wannabe politicians? Or just spacey unfocused archetypes :)
Lionesses also have IIOME
He's a crazed lunatic, yes, and what did he say about the shooting?
Or ome-omy
Lots of sugar? 25% or so, I guess
That's nu to me :)
And stop the talking lettuces
59 seconds longer than necessary then 😊
Just a liar, every day, every 2 days
And might just be unable to deal with people calling him out on his BS - if only more people did it
Yep, if all else fails try (tiny) dick jokes
Some clever grifter cleaned out his pockets then!
He misunderstood -- the Japanese are intrinsically polite, got to get the subtext -- what they meant is "fuck off, you greedy orange twat"
I think this is winning the fastest, most abuse for a dead guy I've seen on Twitter/Bluesky. I guess he earned it.
*from him
@rachelburden.bsky.social @rickedwards1.bsky.social Your quiz is a tiny bit daft - Vicky is a commentator, it's the end of the tournament - she knows the squads, part of her job ;)
Yep, they're there - just very very small ;)
@chemscrapes.bsky.social Chemscrapes in the wild, I mean the lab...
Well, the wood in the fireplace is nice
The word isn't lightning then.
Embracing imperfection -- sounds like you need gold to do a repair job - kintsugi-style. There's a cartoon in that.
He'll be new - and equally clueless - on the last day of his 2nd term too
