Good! the epic of Gilgamesh was waaaaay hard to read on those stones... u.u

My linocut shows a young Olga Ladyzhenskaya in profile, from the shoulders up in a gradient of navy blue at the bottom to pale burgundy at the top on cream coloured washi paper. She’s wearing a shirt and jacket with her hair up. She’s facing some text, carved in reverse, with some words in Russian and mathematics. The text explains this is the system of Navier-Stokes equation, initial and boundary conditions. Below her is a diagram of laminar flow eddying into turbulence. The text reads "систему уравнений Навье — Стокса" which means 'a system of Navier-Stokes equations' and also "для функций" which means 'for functions' and "при граничных и начальных условиях" which means 'under boundary and initial conditions'.

Happy birthday to Olga Ladyzhenskaya (1922-2004), 🧪🐡👩🏼‍🔬🧮 #histsci a #mathematician who overcame personal tragedy, faced Soviet totalitarianism & the catastrophic political upheaval of the 20th century to make a huge impact on the math, making important contributions to study of partial differential

This didn't happen. The perception that it did is largely based on fictional shows that were about rich people. Much more common was a household where one person (theoretically Dad in a het household) was the higher earner and paid the housing costs and the other paid utilities & food

Blue plate with spoon and tiramisu like dessert with a couple bites cut from it

Vegan Tiramisu-like treat. Soy vanilla yogurt with carob powder stirred in until stiff mousse kinda thing happens..
Stack graham crackers and layer with mousse. Cover with more mousse. Chill for a couple hours to soften crackers a bit.

Seems extremely uncomfortable 😣

A blue sky with pink clouds as the sun is setting. There are tree branches close and further away.

Since @gftomatoes.bsky.social isn’t in town to do a local sky pic, I caught the sunset, unusually pretty tonight!

sure it does not comes to life after midnight?

Good Morning skyline! how are all the awesome cute people of this place? Hope you are all getting a lovely morning!

P.S. hopefully better than me dealing with the automated IT department... ACH! don't we have people for these things?

I will talk about #metamaterials, their challenges and future directions tomorrow at the Royal Scots Club in Edinburgh. Limited availability for places: nearyou.imeche.org/near-you/UK/... Hope to see you there 😀🧪⚙️ #AcademicSky

To celebrate, we're launching a special anniversary website, showcasing the stories, people and impact 🧪

The concept of morally and ethically bankruptcy made people.

A black and brown dog is resting his giant head on his paws while looking upwards. It is cute. It is too cute, and it is meant to weaken the defences of the humanoid specimen trying to ingest nutrients. It is effective even though his victim knows better.

Does your dog communicate the he is terribly and desperately deprived of food? Even after having just been fed, because you have cornbread and will not share? You may be entitled to this particular facial expression. #dogs #snacks #food

I have one that cries every time she hears me at the kitchen...

Your only hope is to try to tie against one of them (luck, strategy and talent) and try to win against another who has the same plan as you, meaning they have a complete strategy to prevent you from winning at all costs.

Not a baseball fan (grandfather would be disappointed) but I've been told that in the wold baseball classic Mexico is basically abusing of Brazil... 🫠

And apparently each group is basically a non-starer, in one you have USA/MEX in other CAN/CUBA, other has JAP/KOR and other has VEN/R-DOM.

JODIDO!

It's #sunday, so it's time for more #sand and another #sandsunday #beach or #coast #photography (a desert can fit too btw).

bring your beaches and sand dunes out!

500 dead tropical fish of various species laid out on the ground — wasted! Mostly yellow tang.

Fish found in a dumpster before the aquarium trade was regulated. A bill to ban it in West Hawaii is coming to the state House floor for a final vote possibly this week. Then to the Senate. It may be permanently ended. #marinelife

BTW, is women's day and I recommend you to follow this feed if you haven't!

:D

but you are completely correct on how all those events have played, that is spot on. All of them fuelled by an always non-ending cycle on many sides of people taking decisions that are selfish, prideful, self-righteous, evil, stupid or a combo as always 🤦.
