Oh wow, I feel quite sore today. Maybe I didn't do "enough" during winter to keep my muscles in shape.
But it was worth it! (Pictures and video are yet to come). After the snow has mostly melted, it's time again to clean up all kinds of litter.
I once heard a metallic *pling* and knew ... "new microspikes needed now ... but as the metal plate broke and not just a chain, I hope that the shop might replace it. I mean .. broken metal after just ~1year? Keep fi…

Krijgt GLPvdA gelijk, of de 50 lokale 'Pro-...' partijen? Wordt Pro landelijk mogelijk, dan blijft nog steeds een heel ongelukkige keuze voor die 50 gemeenten waar je twee Pro partijen zult krijgen.
Eigenlijk gewoon een flinke blunder (met een ook nog lelijke naam) wat mij betreft.

The nonstop parade of luxury that is
La Première, Air France’s first-class trans-Atlantic service,
begins when a Mercedes limousine collects you from your hotel and whisks you to an exclusive entrance at Charles de Gaulle International Airport.
It ends at J.F.K., when an Air France employee personally escorts you from your seat through a special customs line.
Each new indulgence seems more lavish than the one before.
The bespoke departure lounge, where you can or…

What Does an Ultra-Luxury First Class Ticket Get You? Flying in a Frictionless Bubble.
A writer reports from inside the premium bubble, where there’s no such thing as too much, petty annoyances are nonexistent and the real world never intrudes.

"When you focus on growth in GDP as your primary goal without any concern for whether what creates that growth is of real value rather than simply being capable of being counted, whilst being indifferent to the distribution of the gains, those already vulnerable are bound to suffer as a consequence... The policy failure this chart exposes is not an accident; it will be achieved by #Labour by d…

Labour is failing people by hidden design. Reform would do so explicitly.
As The Guardian notes this morning: The country’s most deprived neighbourhoods will have higher crime rates and worse unemployment by the end of the parliament, according to a report written at the request of No. 10 Downing Street. No. 10 has apparently focused its attention on what are called

At the neighborhood party you may be asked to wear a name tag with your first name. The initial contact and conversation is more relaxed as no one wants to talk about their work. Your neighbors want to know how you feel about that ungodly reno going on down the street, share stories about your kids, and swap anecdotes about pets. Definitely cats... lots of cat sharing. It's a community where no one is selling, no one is recording data, and there's no unfathomable app pushing conversations into your group. The goal is to go home feeling closer to your community and more empathy for its members.

My #silentsunday.. I only had a chat with two guys at the summit and one guy a bit below.
Besides that... 4-5h silence. If we don't count the minutes I was following the activities of a woodpecker a couple of meters away from me 😊
It took me really efforts to get out. But - as usual - it was worth it.

Our patent system, like our copyright system, has become a monster in which the "monopoly" period granted to patent (and cop;yright) holders far, far exceeds what is granted by our US Constitution.
The Constitution requires that patents and copyrights (but not trademarks) be for "limited times". That is not defined, but it must be interpreted in the context of the Contitution's goal to "promote scientific and artistic progress".

Still as cis as ever, but I thought I'd show my support by posting an interesting transition metal compound from my lab inventory.
Here's a solution of tantalum chloride in ethanol/methanol, intended for sol-gel deposition of tantalum pentoxide thin films. You spin coat it on a substrate then heat in air; the chlorine swaps with an oxygen in atmospheric water vapor and you get HCl gas evaporating and Ta2O5 on the surface.
