#Aurora Alert for the #UK!

If it's clear for you now it might be an idea to have a look and see what's visible.

A camera/phone with lower light or Night exposure settings will help with recording any aurora ๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ‘

2024 was the year I finally got around to reading the first two Three body problem books.

**Little spoiler alert**

Really enjoyed them and it's made me think a lot more about science in the context of society and particularly existential threats.

I've read quite a few nice books this year. What books have you read? What did you take away from them?

Simplified Tamil script - Wikipedia

Hitting a funny snare in learning Tamil writing from my family; turns out there have been attempts at letter reform and some letters have changed since said family went to school. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplif...

A little example, and I might be wrong, but it seems Tamil doesn't have the word "the", there's another way it is sort of conveyed...and it's blowing my mind!

Learning to speak Tamil, while being able to understand about 60% of spoken Tamil is so strange. And learning from first gen immigrant family is fun and frustrating. I find myself having to clarify and re-clarify meanings because well...Tamil is quite a different language to English and Latin langs
