My mis-spent youth absorbing every bit of bizarre and dubiously useful information is coming in useful! Pity it's when I'm approaching an age when said information starts to "leak". npub1fe6n30rsspqgw04xl30d8jex3kphr3s7p90h6vsp7rz0ke3920wqajl53g Paul H @npub15zu…s7lx It's even worse. With the loss of academic vibrancy and currency why would our graduates wish to carry out further study in the UK? npub1fe6n30rsspqgw04xl30d8jex3kphr3s7p90h6vsp7rz0ke3920wqajl53g Paul H @npub1g0t…tvm4 Hmm, if an official currency in a hard form becomes unavailable and "e-money"is rejected, I wonder what would happen if localities started using informal "local" currencies... npub1fe6n30rsspqgw04xl30d8jex3kphr3s7p90h6vsp7rz0ke3920wqajl53g Paul H @npub1v5a…5yax It certainly has! Today was the first day this year I really felt warm outside. npub1fe6n30rsspqgw04xl30d8jex3kphr3s7p90h6vsp7rz0ke3920wqajl53g Paul H I know it's not #caturday, but this... One of the neighbourhood cats doing what cats do... https://cdn.masto.host/tootwales/media_attachments/files/112/388/036/188/454/490/original/c6a6b208a75ce76f.png npub1fe6n30rsspqgw04xl30d8jex3kphr3s7p90h6vsp7rz0ke3920wqajl53g Paul H @npub15zu…s7lx This is so - deeper analysis and studies needed, especially looking at which demographics didn't bother to vote compared to previous elections. I bet I can guess the outcome... npub1fe6n30rsspqgw04xl30d8jex3kphr3s7p90h6vsp7rz0ke3920wqajl53g Paul H @npub1g0t…tvm4 Couscous group? Are they aligned with Braverman's tofu-eaters?🤪 npub1fe6n30rsspqgw04xl30d8jex3kphr3s7p90h6vsp7rz0ke3920wqajl53g Paul H @npub1g0t…tvm4 When I was in "mainstream" HE, the Emeritus Professors and those "retired in post" all had one large communal office. The younger lecturers (me included) referred to it as "The Departure Lounge" npub1fe6n30rsspqgw04xl30d8jex3kphr3s7p90h6vsp7rz0ke3920wqajl53g Paul H @npub10zv…nz7m The second could be "Lady with a chicken"? (perhaps that was one of Leonardo's original ideas?) npub1fe6n30rsspqgw04xl30d8jex3kphr3s7p90h6vsp7rz0ke3920wqajl53g Paul H @npub10zv…nz7m My mind is now conjuring images of @sheepnick 's chickens in classical paintings... Leonardo's Mona Poulet etc...? npub1fe6n30rsspqgw04xl30d8jex3kphr3s7p90h6vsp7rz0ke3920wqajl53g Paul H @npub1sdk…0kgj Errrm, not really in terms of mass production. Even that which there is isn't owned by British companies, having been sold off to whoever gave the biggest back-hander What a mess! npub1fe6n30rsspqgw04xl30d8jex3kphr3s7p90h6vsp7rz0ke3920wqajl53g Paul H @npub1sdk…0kgj I guess now British industry (such that hasn't been dismantled or sold off) is returning the "favour"? npub1fe6n30rsspqgw04xl30d8jex3kphr3s7p90h6vsp7rz0ke3920wqajl53g Paul H @npub15zu…s7lx Trying to sync and coordinate times across multiple gravitational and dynamic environments to the precision needed is going to be a nightmare! npub1fe6n30rsspqgw04xl30d8jex3kphr3s7p90h6vsp7rz0ke3920wqajl53g Paul H @npub15zu…s7lx Similar activities reported for smuggling "slab" (ammonium chloride cut with radium - a troll drug) in "Feet of Clay" #GNUTerryPratchett npub1fe6n30rsspqgw04xl30d8jex3kphr3s7p90h6vsp7rz0ke3920wqajl53g Paul H This looks an interesting project from the Open University: https://research.open.ac.uk/impact/tackling-inequalities/what-does-it-mean-be-welsh npub1fe6n30rsspqgw04xl30d8jex3kphr3s7p90h6vsp7rz0ke3920wqajl53g Paul H @npub15zu…s7lx I'm going to "Kerbal" this... npub1fe6n30rsspqgw04xl30d8jex3kphr3s7p90h6vsp7rz0ke3920wqajl53g Paul H @npub15zu…s7lx But what will Priti Patel and Suella Braverman (or indeed any home secretary past and present) dine on? npub1fe6n30rsspqgw04xl30d8jex3kphr3s7p90h6vsp7rz0ke3920wqajl53g Paul H @npub15zu…s7lx Lovely spam, wonderful spam!!!! I'm going to have spam egg chips beans spam and spam without the spam. npub1fe6n30rsspqgw04xl30d8jex3kphr3s7p90h6vsp7rz0ke3920wqajl53g Paul H @npub15zu…s7lx Nooo! Not Spam! https://cdn.masto.host/tootwales/media_attachments/files/112/082/434/129/157/210/original/320867217d33c556.png npub1fe6n30rsspqgw04xl30d8jex3kphr3s7p90h6vsp7rz0ke3920wqajl53g Paul H @npub1g0t…tvm4 Yes - I've shared the experiences of university managers... The best thing to do was to ignore them, and just feed them little tit-bits which keep them happy. Their problem was not understanding that "managing" academics is a lot worse than herding cats. I had a couple of academic-related management roles (director of undergraduate studies for example) and the best way of getting colleagues to do what I wanted was to persuade them it was their idea in the first place... npub1fe6n30rsspqgw04xl30d8jex3kphr3s7p90h6vsp7rz0ke3920wqajl53g Paul H @npub15zu…s7lx I think this partly also relates to Sunak's hissy-fit about Wales' 20 MPH urban speed limit. ("How dare those uppity Brythonic* people make decisions for themselves!") as much as either (1) having insufficient cognitive ability and/or (2) being deliberately mis-informative. *I'm not sure Sunak would know what "Brythonic" means as his various pronouncements indicate he doesn't really know much about the history and cultures of these islands. npub1fe6n30rsspqgw04xl30d8jex3kphr3s7p90h6vsp7rz0ke3920wqajl53g Paul H @npub1pes…0vfa The irony is... The UK pushed for this whilst still a member... npub1fe6n30rsspqgw04xl30d8jex3kphr3s7p90h6vsp7rz0ke3920wqajl53g Paul H @npub1sdk…0kgj Sounds like if he'd tried, the Turkish commander would become eligible to join the Sultan's eunuch retinue... npub1fe6n30rsspqgw04xl30d8jex3kphr3s7p90h6vsp7rz0ke3920wqajl53g Paul H @npub1sdk…0kgj That would make the stories so much better. Shieldmaiden Princess horribly slaughters wimpy "Prince Charming", plaits her hair in his blood, and proceeds to a banquet of frog kebabs. https://cdn.masto.host/tootwales/media_attachments/files/111/226/950/785/495/300/original/68c3df6911594da1.png npub1fe6n30rsspqgw04xl30d8jex3kphr3s7p90h6vsp7rz0ke3920wqajl53g Paul H @npub1sdk…0kgj @npub1qw2…ud5z Sounds like the idea of Venice as some kind of semi-mythical "Shangri-La" npub1fe6n30rsspqgw04xl30d8jex3kphr3s7p90h6vsp7rz0ke3920wqajl53g Paul H @npub1sdk…0kgj Mining in Venice? Better bring an umbrella... npub1fe6n30rsspqgw04xl30d8jex3kphr3s7p90h6vsp7rz0ke3920wqajl53g Paul H @npub14et…rc3c Any sheep? npub1fe6n30rsspqgw04xl30d8jex3kphr3s7p90h6vsp7rz0ke3920wqajl53g Paul H @npub1t3d…qnlg Exactly as observed by Douglas Adams. "For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.”
