It's a podcast, in case anyone is wondering. More of an audio diary, really.

Scenes from the races.

In Episode 77 of Topics in Endurance Sports I talk about three short trails races I did. In Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana.

I have that one on the lower right. Gosh I've not gotten it out in forever.

Whoa

Schindler’s Sausage

A cartoon of a news report. The picture shows a government official doing a press conference flanked by goons. The headline reads “A man attacked federal bullets with his body” Underneath the picture is a quote saying “those bullets had families”

US government rn

Trump’s America.

Hate when people switch from % (40%) to fractions (2/3). Plus this is so oddly stated. It leaves open the possibility that 33% of non-managers agree with 40% of the execs. Appears misleading. Report more clearly.

Nightmare.

A joke for the history buffs.

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask:

"If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

Boring night sky

Ain’t having much luck with this Northern Lights thing. The one time I didn’t go out (bc my useless app suggested not to) people nearby posted cool pics. The three times I did go out, I’ve mostly seen nothing but dull sky. 🧪

It's beitifucull.

The Nobel peace prize medal.

The Nobel Peace Prize committee may have to give itself the Nobel Peace Prize for not giving Trump the Nobel Peace Prize.

This is a dumb and a jackass response to a thoughtful and intelligent question.

Pew Research Institute (2023):

• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants

• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants

• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.

And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."

It's *not* about immigration.

Did you do this?

You on Mt Washington?

I started watching this movie last night after listening to Part 1. About halfway through. What a ridiculous movie (so far)!

Note: she gave me approval to post this.

Imagine how wonderful a person is who does that? It makes me think of people from long ago who maybe I should thank, and if they aren’t around, maybe their colleagues or children!

PS. It’s not trivial to find someone with my name.

I taught a student introductory chemistry in 2001. Incredibly, 25 years later(!) she found me to say thank you because I said something that allowed her to think big, and now she is a medical doctor and a professor at a Big Ten university! Suffice it to say that really made my day. My week!

First part of a post sent by former student stating that I had helped her.

Do you appreciate someone from decades ago? It’s not always too late to thank them!

Merci!

Excellent thanks!

Thank you!

Is it fairly common to do prep HPLC separations using only MS signals to decide when to collect product? For compounds with poor absorbance? E.g., amino acids. 🧪 #chemsky #chemchat
Max Jr is curious too.

Lol no way.

Exercise is as effective as medication in treating depression, study finds New research shows exercise is as effective as medication at reducing symptoms of depression. And you don't need to run a marathon to see benefits. So how much is enough?

Whoa I’m in Miamisburg right now. Cool.
