I just think it would be better for everyone if the people who make adhesive for maxi pads and the people who make adhesive for bookstore price stickers switched jobs

Reading current and former Google employees talk about the company on Hacker News and there’s definitely a sense that they blame Sundar Pichai for “ruining” the company given before and after Sundar comparisons being made.

I ran out of homemade soap, so it was time for a few new batches. This is cold-process goats milk soap. Any other #soapmakers out there?

#help #accomodation My PhD student is looking for a place to live (appartment/room) during her stay in #Rome #italy_rome from February to April (ie now!). She's really serious and she's there to work, so she needs a quite place. She has some fundings (but not a lot) and she can pay, but it's hard to find a place there for 3/4 months that is not AirBnB (too expensive). Can you please boost/help?

Current and former Google engineers discuss how Google has changed:

You know what really annoys me?
As some may know I live at the river Rhine and I live at one section of the river that has no bridge in 30 kilometers so the only option to cross it is to use the ferry that is not included in my regional transport ticket.
And whenever I am looking for a job or anything else related to locations in a specific radius around my home the software does not acknowledge this fact and gives me information about things at places I cannot reach and it starts to freak me out that not a single developer thinks of such a possibility.

Reklama: kolega wspiera #WOŚP i organizuje w Chełmży małą "imprezę towarzyszącą" z okazji finału. 27 i 28 stycznia, w sali plastycznej na pierwszym piętrze Chełmżyńskiego Domu Kultury rozstawi się ze sprzętem #retro - Commodore C64, Amigą 500, Playstation (1, 2 i 3), będą turnieje w Arkanoida, starego Counter Strike'a i Quake 3 Arena, pokaz gier 3D na kartach 3dfx VooDoo. Oczywiście będą puszki Orkiestry, jeśli jest tu ktoś z Chełmży, okolic, albo akurat będzie przejazdem, to zapraszamy serdecznie. Ja swoją cegiełkę też dorzucę, niestety tym razem zdalnie.

W sumie to jeszcze tu warto się pochwalić, że byłem dziś w Sejmie na posiedzeniu zespołu parlamentarnego ds. walki z wykluczeniem transportowym, w sprawie problemów z impulsami Newagu. Fajnie było zobaczyć wiele osób na żywo, szczególnie z teamu Dragon Sector. No i uwierzcie mi, że wyjasnienia Newagu na żywo brzmiały jeszcze bardziej absurdalnie.

Dziękuję jeszcze raz @polamatysiak za możliwość pojawienia się 🙏

This is groundbreaking botanist & cytogeneticist, E.K. Janaki Ammal (1897-1984).

She was the 10th of 19 children in a mixed race family in Kerala, India, with caste adding to the discrimination she faced in life. Ammal chose a life of science over a planned marriage.

"My work is what will survive", she said. She was right. Her achievements are awesome....

Camembert is an endangered species! It relies on a mold that had lost the ability to reproduce sexually... and now, thanks to inbreeding, this mold has also lost the ability to reproduce using spores. Roquefort is also in trouble, but for Camembert it's worse:

"The world over, this other symbol of French gastronomy is inoculated exclusively with one single strain of Penicillium camemberti, a white mutant that was selected for Brie cheeses in 1898 and Camemberts in 1902.

The problem is that ever since then the strain has been replicated by vegetative propagation only. Until the 1950s, Camemberts still had grey, green or in some cases orange-tinged moulds on their surface. But the industry was not fond of these colours, considering them unappealing, and staked everything on the albino strain of P. camemberti, which is completely white and moreover has a silky texture. This is how Camembert acquired its now-characteristic pure white rind.

Year after year, generation after generation, the albino strain of P. camemberti, which was already incapable of sexual reproduction, lost its ability to produce asexual spores. As a result it is now very difficult for the entire industry to obtain enough P. camemberti spores to inoculate their production of the famous Norman cheese.

Worse still, while the Roquefort PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) standard retains a degree of microbial biodiversity, the PDO specifications for Camembert require farmers and other producers to use P. camemberti exclusively."

What to do about it? Read on....

Pamiętam do dziś zdziwienie na twarzy nauczycielki z technikum kiedy z tezą pytała czy chciałbym mieć elektrownię jądrową po sąsiedzku, na co szczerze odpowiedziałem że tak. Już szczególnie gdyby alternatywą był Bełchatów :)

⚛️ Czy stać nas na zmianę lokalizacji elektrowni jądrowej?

Nie.

Co zatem robić? Po prostu budować.

Potrzebujemy elektrowni jądrowych w naszym miksie energetycznym i nie mamy czasu na kolejne dyskusje. Konsensus co do potrzeby jest, przestańmy sami sobie rzucać kłody pod nogi.
