Used to be an HIV immunology researcher. Now works on life science patents with a side interest in archaeological science. Student at UHI Orkney. Green, left, secular, cynical
Oft-repeated claim is not true. Source: U-Switch www.uswitch.com/gas-electric...
Not really. The datacentres are located basically where the population is. Scotland gets a few in/near its cities, but England gets most of them because it has most of the UK population. www.datacentermap.com/united-kingd...
Also the statue's plinth remains in place with the original plaque describing him as a "virtuous and wise son of the City". This new plaque has been added
It made me think of Alan Partidge. More "sports causal" than either doctor or Jesus.
The rest of the world has seen Trump for what he is for a long time. (this from Germany on the day he became president the first time round)
Burnt in effigy in Lewes, England (incidentally the birthplace of Thomas Paine)
It has been massively shit. The BBC is still doing their dreadful "both siding". Meanwhile Canada (CBC) is actually looking at the evidence and pointing out that Trump and Vance's statements are not supported by it.
This sign on the road out of Cardiff Bay, taught me that the Welsh word for slag is slag (at least in the metallurgical sense)
From the MetroWest website. I can spot an obvious barrier to accessibility at Lawrence Hill station if this photo is anything to go by.
Reminds me of the EdStone and SalmondStone. Does anyone know where either of those are?
Spotted these in Lidl this morning for 16 quid? Are they decent ones? (Or does "exclusive" mean they aren't regular brews)
Believe it or not, Trump wears high-end Bironi suits. But he chooses ones that do not fit him. Looking good in a suit is all about the fit.
Nordy Bank has its own children's story (rather well written all about the hillfort, but set in a dated 1950s world were kids play outside all day, mothers make sandwiches and lemonade and Father is a doctor with a motorcar)
Also icing sugar is not as good an adhesive as I imagined it would be. Starting to slump even with supporting mugs and cruet in place.
#dodecabakeof @tessmachling.bsky.social I did have a dodecahedron. Went to get my phone for a photo, and this happened! Still tastes good but I am not expecting to meddle.
