- Comment on How far do you wear your daily shoes out before bothering to replace them? 2 days ago:
Had five pairs of HOKA Clifton or Bondi (one of the few brands that have wide and quarter sizes) that usually lasts a year. My HOKA Kaha lasted two hand a half which is to short for that kind of shoe. Last pair of Clifton bought this summer lasted two months.
I suggest you look at Altra if you need wide toe box.

I had a Turkish exchange student at my uni in Norway, and when he saw a bag in of “Turkish Pepper” he was like WTF is this?
End of story he did not appreciate the delicious treats named for his people.
We talk about the vodka belt and potato Europe, but what should we name Nordic/north German and Dutch areas that like salty licorice?

A scene that would have gone viral was when were 12 four of us pooled our money and bought a display box of the rolls.
What commenced was an conveyer belt style production of the things. Being total idiots we had no real idea what we were doing so we taped together several cylinders and while one packed the rest folded. The “packer” used that back end of a fork to get the stuff real tight in the cylinder and since he was sitting with it between his legs in the crotch area he started simulating masturbation with the fork as an attempt to amuse. (Did I mention we were 12 AND idiots?)
What happens was that the friction of cource ignites the damn thing. Luckily it was early in the production so he did not set of much. What happened was teared jeans, some spectacular brucing and a visit to the emergency room. No permanent damage.
The thing is I still work with explosives in a professional capacity and I found that these things are still being sold… P1 pyrotechnic articles, “low hazard” so its still not to late to go viral…

To all the “hammer people”. What you do is you fold it lengthwise down the middle (opening each “dot”) and then carefully pack several rolls into a cylinder. Let say the plastic cylinder these things came in. Then use electrical tape and tape it good and tight. Preferably several cylinders. Remember to put in a fuse. A rubber band clipped open will work in lieu of a proper fuse.
These things blows like flash bangers

I did my master in physical chemistry. The pretty advanced periodic table the university bookstore sold was allowed at exam. On the other hand I memorized amino acids for some reaso

Remember my biochem professor sgowednus that chart at the end of “Biochem 100” We had focused in citric acid cycle, the electron transfer in the mitocondria, basic genetics (amino acids, RNA, DNA), neogluconesis, and something about removing nitrogen from cells +a whole lot more I can’t remember 20 years after the class.
I ended up doing physical chemistry doing my master thesis on thermodynamics in enzymes. Only a couple of formulas and four laws that is already well defined. Way easier than this
- Comment on Help figuring out my pressure washer? 2 months ago:
Might be a faulty valve in there somewhere. I have a Steele 129 plus (think it’s just a rebranded Nilfisk tbh) that did the same thing, only I just had to let it rest for 5 minuted as water drained from whatever it was that caused the shutoff.
Have it serviced is my advice.

Considering the original academic meaning of meme in evolutionary biology it’s pretty apt.
- Comment on Wild Seals 2 months ago:
There was this docureality about seal hunters in the Arctic on Norwegian television a few years back. One of the crew contracted “Spekkfinger” and they had to travel a day to Iceland to drop him off. Apparently there still is a demand somewhere for greenland seal as there was a few boats that the svow followed. And they had a crew with cook and all.

Just google leopard seal. Its like a cross between a grizzly and a large shark

Disagree about the EU. Europe has had sp many wars, and the EU managed to get the nations talking and trading. It has done lits for peace but its hard to measure wars that don’t happen.

Is that botox injectes into penis, or botox extracted from Clostridium botulinum on penis?
All jokes aside. Why inject a muscle relaxant in penis?

Lol. He left his family for a secretary that he also got a daughter with.
Tbf that id perhaps the least despicable act this man did.

This is why the concept of statistical outlier and standard deviation exists.
Had I seen something like this in any analysis I would either assume some fault in the measurement (either reading or technical) or error in punching the data. Then ignored the result if it couldn’t be reproduced, but leave it in the raw data/graph/figure and explain the exlution.

Not seen the movie but I assume she behaves like a 22 yo as well?
That’s one of the many things that threwe with LotR Rings of Power was how Galadriel behaved like a teen while being between 3,412 and 5,353 years old.

The OP laments how he did his PhD because he wanted an academic career, and how his PhD didn’t land him a professorship. Given how he must have spent 5 years at some institution or other, and have at least some success seeing how he got the PhD student position in the first place. My point was that how he in those 5 years didn’t figure out how hard it is to become a professor I find strange.
- Comment on 🤡 We've all been played for fools. 🤡 4 months ago:
TBH if you attend 5 years at uni and don’t catch on how few professors there are to literally everyone else at the university perhaps your reasoning skills are not that great.
I mean I did 5 years with a master in thermodynamics (physical chemistry) and my section had 20 offices. Three had a professor in them.
Top sciencetists are is like top athlets. The same drive, dedication and forsaking other things to be best.

This is because someone can’t be arsed to make a dedicated Norwegian/Swedish/Danish keyboard. Norway and Denmark uses æ/ø/å. But ofc not the same key position. Sweden ä/ö/å. The same goes for several of the other keys. What they type depends on language used

Scientific American points to an important fact. *With our latest surveys, such as the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) and Euclid, by my very rough estimation, we’ve taken pictures of somewhere around 100 million galaxies out of the two trillion or so estimated to exist in the entire observable universe.
Shamir’s paradigm-shattering conclusion relies on 263 of them.*
They are discussing bias in the selection
