This is a wild amount of money that we are talking about.

The average post doc salary in the UK is circa £40k. The NHS surcharge of c. £1k per year, up front, makes me understand why folks have been struggle to recruit in the UK.

This ad celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Sydney Opera House won the Grand Prix at the Cannes Lions festival (advertising). If I were teaching a class on creative use of irony, this would be my introduction to the course.

You said the mother trigger words “I’ll get takeaway” Which we all know translates as “I’m starving, I don’t know how to feed myself, my cupboards/fridge are empty…..” Be ready for another food drop in ~2days 😀

Just realized Google’s GenAI search results are just a newer version of that U2 album from ten years ago. No one wants it but by god a tech giant is going to force it upon you.

This! Time to quote the old “dependency” xkcd; except well it’s mostly a well intentioned and benevolent contributor. But also a fantastic attack vector.

(Not to suggest all the other parts aren’t also fantastic attack vectors too.)

And it richly rewards “the more you look the more you see” principle. As well as seeing glorious astronomical clockwork as the moons progress (slowly but notably) around Jupiter. A sort of “draw it come back in a few hours, sort of thing…. Also Saturn when it’s back is so damn amazing

Seek out “quiet earth” (1985) starring the delightful and sorely missed Bruno Lawerence. Perfect movie for such a quiet place.
