@idamilne.bsky.social great to finally meet you in person!

YouTube video by Chemistry with Mr. B Superheated Steam

FYI…. youtu.be/QqbrU3Nwab4?...
I like how he sets fire to paper with the steam!

My understanding, steam engines of this size ran without vapour. Steam was superheated and dry. So if it were possible to see inside like this while operational, this is how it would look anyway!
vapour would form at the point the piston changes to exhaust…..I think…. But I’m not a ginger beer.

Most submarines have a sail, for carbon reduction I would presume it will not be long until it is replaced a with Flettner sail

The colour choice is from the Delta signal flag, itself indicating a difficulty manoeuvring.
When I was learning the signals my father enjoyed a regular Friday night in the pub followed by a walk home. I always loved that his coat was yellow with a distinct blue horizontal band.

I have a lot of sympathy for the watch keeper with this view. It is always a difficult decision to aid a WAFI.

With his own AI programmed to review and promote content…. Surely this is the role of editor in a publication and it is time we treated social media companies like any other publisher!

“We don’t have illegal aliens… the legal term for my people were slaves….”
🚨This is what leadership looks and sounds like in 2025.✊🏼

Baghdad Iraq 🇮🇶

At the patronage of the Prime Minister of Iraq, Mohammed Shia' Al Sudani, I had the amazing honour of taking part in a panel discussion about competition, digitalisation, e-commerce and all things Supply Chain.

Surely given the Russian influence over the Conservative Party and likely role in Brexit, the UK is a threat to EU & Ireland from Russia!

So the news is that Elon is upset about people thinking €1 trillion is a little bit much to pay a CEO?
I think we need to consider media framing a bit more!

As a colleague noted, they have only been calling for civil unrest in response to one of these reports, the one reportedly involving an immigrant. 2/

It is well beyond time that the EU steps up and funds Ukraine defence to the levels needed to win this war. Putin leaning on Trump like this is a clear sign of weakness.

Thankfully it is an election for the most inconsequential job in the world.
Main criteria being able to shake hands with visiting sports teams and signing your name.

Hi sweetheart, great to see you finally got a Bluesky account.

New Youghal Tribune

Not only white, but it was the inspiration for another large white building used to house presidents.

This whole thread is absolutely peak Bluesky. Dear Americans, not everything is about you.

Simply put: Europe has no choice, now. We need, collectively, to show them the door the instant we can take up the slack.

We neither can, nor should, trust a military led by this, nor should we grant it base rights. It's too dangerous for us. De Gaulle has been proven entirely correct.

"one officer smiled for a selfie with her as she cried."

An alternative interpretation is that she can read the graph & is warning the left that calling out the right will invoke violence returned in multiples.

Only now did I realize that this has nothing to do with Weird Al as in Yankovic.

I just find it odd that of all the comments I have seen today nobody has noticed that he is proposing state funded healthcare for all! Even if it is some fantasy machine, he is, in principle, creating a national health service.
