Weather forecast shows that the temperature is decreasing day by day and on Saturday it's 3-5°C and rainy

Some friends decide to throw an outdoor BBQ party this Saturday.
IN THIS WEATHER.
I love crazy people like this. I'll be there.

Lol, but my chocolates are not from this company. This company normally sends only German chocolates and German snacks to clients in the EU.

Well, I'm still optimistic about the next generation

I've just watched a YouTube video about a guy patiently teaching an octopus to play the piano. My conclusion is that TikTok will never replace YouTube.

Being able to NOT think about work on weekends is a superpower

I need to stop late evening snacking😑

It's not a grapefruit

It seems that many westerners don't know what pomelos are. Let me show you - here's one I've just bought:

Yeah, it was definitely adrenaline that helped me run that fast!

People discouraged me from reporting it to the police, saying the police won't catch the thief. But I still reported. And the police has registered the case in their system. I think it's everyone's duty to report crimes. The more information the cops get, the better they can help future victims.

Lol, everyone is asking everyone else if they have already been to the Christmas markets

Not just chemistry labs. As far as I've seen, none of the research labs or teaching labs in any countries is designed to accommodate disabled people.

Why are 'grapefruit' and 'pomelo' two totally different words in English? They taste similar!

Ah I should've tried soursop earlier. It's such a creamy fruit. I love it.

I'm already a postdoc and some of my work during both my PhD and my postdoc went uncredited. I feel so disheartened. Do you think industry jobs treat people's work more fairly?

It's great that you've finally got the power to credit everyone who makes contributions. I feel that I can never have that power in my life. I'm feeling so demotivated.

But most of them are too scared to openly talk about it.

I always wonder how much uncredited work has been done in academia. Much of the data I collected was not published and will never be published. Some of my data was published without my name in the author list. I'm sure many early-career researchers have experienced the same shit.

It always takes me long long time to write emails, but the receivers don't necessarily read them carefully 😒

The political climate in China is terrible now. I got censored too many times on Chinese social media these years. I can't imagine how many words are in their 'sensitive words' lists.

Many people on Twitter are saying they use AI to summarise journal papers. I've just tried, but the AI summary is shit. It doesn't understand the paper at all.

I normally don't feel lonely at work, but when the whole team get together and talk in their language and only I can't understand what they say, I feel lonely and isolated. Whenever it happens, I start to browse job boards, hoping to find a job that provides a more international work environment...

Especially when the temperature is below 0...

But a few years later these boys will develop knee problems

I wonder how coffee became so popular across the world 🤔 I hate coffee

Snails are delicious 😋

How's my writing going today? I've just spent three hours writing two sentences 🙃

It's Monday again. I'm feeling undervalued again.

Lol, many people these days ask ChatGPT about everything 😅

I don't understand why I feel so embarrassed whenever I see someone wearing a same coat as mine 🥲
