Thanks a bunch!

Could I have divide by sheep please (if the code wasn't used)?

The conversion from protons to neutrons does not complete 100% so there are still some (trillion) protons left per "atom"

Oddly, space is cold but spaceships tend to get too hot. Engines/electroncs/people give off heat inside the ship which gets trapped. You move heat by conduction, convection, or radiation, but because outside is a vacuum you cant disapate heat with the first 2 and are limited to the least effective radiation so the heat builds up

Typical physicist, ignoring enthalpy of phase changes. Starting from 1C defrosted makes a huge difference from 0C as the melting takes up a ton more energy/slaps. Their underslapped chicken would give you salmonella

Which is actually the Finnish song "Ievan polkka" and not just scatting/jibberish as I always naively used to think

Not always. I teach a module where my lectures are fully coursework assessed and my god, a lot of the submissions are clearly AI. It's super hard to prove though and I just mark the same as any other, but half-halluvinated school-grade garbage scores pretty damn low.

(edit: this is because we are trained on how to write questions AI struggles with. It makes writing exams harder, but it is possible. AI is terrible at chemistry. My personal favourite being when Google AI told me the melting point of pyrrole was about -2000C, so colder than absolute zero)

 

Professor Andrea Sella (UCL Department of Chemistry) returned the Royal Society's prestigeous Faraday Prize in protest over "its failure to take stronger action against Elon Musk, a fellow of the UK academy, for presiding over onslaughts on US science"

A few options me and my partner have enjoyed:

Bunhouse - a non-management-heavy farming simulator but you are bunnies growing plants. Cute as hell. There is a sequel where you run a bakery too but we haven't got round to that just yet.

Unrailed - might fall into the overcooked catagory, but when it gets hard and goes wrong it tends to be a looming inevitablity, not a frantic panic

Nidhogg - a 1v1 fighter, but is quick fire frantic sword fights you can button bash through which is wildly entertaining in 5 min bursts.

Sorry, should have clarified - I was speaking on the part of many academics. In my department, most people (faculty) have abandoned Twitter and a fair few have started on bluesky although more just don't use the format in any context anymore. I only know of one who uses Mastadoon.

But we did leave and if (or when) it becomes enshitified, we will move again. We don't need an idealised platform, we just want something easy to use which doesn't (yet) have the baggage and culture of twiXer
