  • They're back [Star Jelly]
  • There were no monkeys when dinosaurs existed, also more time elapsed between the stegosaurus in the back existing and the t rex and triceratops than between them and us.

  • Nuclear fusion reactor in South Korea runs at 100 million degrees C for a record-breaking 48 seconds
  • I wonder if there isn't a stable chamber shape that promotes turbulence in a controlled manner in order to prevent it getting out of hand? A little bit like the dimples on a golf ball create micro pockets of turbulence promoting laminar flow.

  • excuse me?
  • The son is going to inherit the company, he's clearly terrified and going to piss the whole thing up the wall within five years of being given the reins.

  • Got my first set of water colours
  • I probably got a pretty decent dose of lead due to licking my brushes in the eighties, little sets of paints in lead tubes.

  • It's not really sitting though is it...

  • Good job man 👍
  • It's still just two layers of a manufactured felt or bitumen, the quality of tiling, flashing and lead in the UK is beyond compare. There's flashing on a church near me that's nearly a thousand years old.

  • British signs vs Scottish weather
  • I would imagine that at some point we went from highways agency signage that was made to a standard to outsourcing to the cheapest bidder. There is also a possibility that signs can't be too rigid so they don't cut vehicles in half?

  • The Absinthe Drinker, 1901 - Viktor Oliva (1861–1928)
  • Mass produced spirits became a problem throughout the western world around the same time, cheap whisky in Scotland and Ireland, gin in England and vodka in Russia etc. The industrialisation of production led to slum housing and cheap, strong alcohol, not a good combination.

  • Good job man 👍
  • It's in the UK, there will be a layer of roofing felt underneath the slate that prevents pests getting in. Roofing felt is the same stuff that shingles are made from in the US but comes in a roll. So in the UK we have basically the roof you'd have in the US and then another slate roof on top, it rains a lot here, we probably have some of the best roofing in the world.

  • Got my first set of water colours
  • Don't worry about the quality of the paint, I grew up using cheap Chinese water paints and it was OK.

  • Standing rule only
  • We are kind of unique in our ability to sit on chairs, the majority of animals throughout evolutionary history have some form of tail. Imagine we meet aliens and every species is incapable of sitting on a chair, it'd make start trek look a little foolish.

  • don't let your guard down
  • Ask either do you have a nose, the one that always tells the truth has to say yes, the one that always lies has to say no.

  • Not if they were both tidally locked to one another.

  • Greener ‘water batteries’ a step closer
