This is a superb prank.

Plagiarise, let no one's work evade your eyes...

Odd happenings this afternoon - someone attempted to take ownership of two of my records on #zenodo.
Not sure what they hoped to achieve - I guess they could upload a new version purporting to be an update?

Juries are less important for the powers they have, but for the powers they prevent others from having.

This is not normal

This is an excellent and detailed explanation of the properties of enriched uranium. Unless you’re really into this subject, it’s probably a *lot* different than you might think.

Atlantic Puffin legs with worn out plastic band.

After years of seeing the faded plastic band on this puffin and being unable to re-sight it, we finally re-captured it and replaced its bands. This bird was first banded as chick in 1996 making it 29 years old (!) and among the oldest in our records. 🦑🪶🧪

Live 24/7 CO₂ emissions of electricity consumption Electricity Maps is a live 24/7 visualization of where your electricity comes from and how much CO2 was emitted to produce it.

app.electricitymaps.com/zone/GB/72h/... is probably what you're after for the energy mix.

You can also see how much of our gas capacity we aren't using right now - presumably because it was cheaper to import.

A Leo from Chicago who annoys Republicans you say?

So thrilled to have captured this image of iridescence on the wings of these 2 Swallows. It's tricky enough photographing these birds in flight but positioning yourself in relation to the sun a certain way can produce stunning results...

A view across Swansea bay. A stream runs across the sand from the bottom left of the image towards the sea. Swansea is on the left, with Baglan, Aberafan and Port Talbot and the hills behind them

A light blue diagram depicting the sea, with the water's surface at the top, and just below it is an outline of the Mary Rose, with the depth (12m, 40ft or 6.7 fathoms). There is a line showing the seabed, which takes a rapid dive into the vertical...

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked,

"If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?"

Allow our scaled diagram to explain...

Hope you had a good valentine's Day (although St Dwynwen's Day 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 is really where it's at)

A small green/yellow boat with a white light on the rear and several antennae on top, floating one fairly calm looking river.

One laptop balanced on top of a tripod, with the river and moored boats in the background. The green/yellow boat from the previous image is just about visible in the background.

A day out from the office today, using a remote control boat to get flow and depth measurements near a tidal energy test site.

Occasionally cold and windy, but quite fun. And hopefully useful data for the student's project.

Ok so… There’s a nice little park on a corner, and a path running directly to one edge of the park. That’s the first image, but there’s 12 other images here. In the second image, there is now a desire path running diagonally across the park. Next image, the path has been blocked by a park bench that the council has put in as a deterrent. Unfazed, in image 4 the path now deftly avoids the park bench. In images 5 and 6 the process is repeated, this time with a strategically placed bin which the desire path also avoids. Presumably in a fit of rage, the council plants an entire hedge to stop people creating new desire paths but eventually this too is defeated and a new path find a way. Finally, the council admits defeat and turns the desire path into a proper paved pathway. After a little while, a new desire path curving off this new paved pathway begins to emerge…

A little comic about desire paths.

Can't possibly imagine what other (polite) F word you might apply to such an arrangement 😛

This title if the comic is ‘Googling Stuff…’ The comic shows two columns: on the left is “Then” showing search results with one thing listed as “the thing you want” On the right column is ‘Now’ - also showing search results but in this case it’s a whole bunch of stuff you don’t need: AI TAKING A WILD STAB AT IT WITH SOME BLATANT MISINFORMATION SPONSORED RESULT SPONSORED RESULT SPONSORED RESULT SPONSORED RESULT PEOPLE ALSO ASK VIEW PRODUCTS And then right at the bottom just off screen is ‘the thing you want’

Three seconds into this clip, a spinning sphere full of fluid stops. But the fluid interior keeps spinning! The flow at the surface develops nice horizontal shear lines and then becomes turbulent. 🧪 🔭
