It's fascinating how many of these use obscured or distorted faces as a main element

I assume not, but primarily because I would expect the actual scientists and/or Oxford to make a bigger deal out of that if they had achieved it

I love these. During Ghana's series of military govermments through the 70s and 80s, import laws made it functonally impossible to get printing presses into the country. Ghanaian cinemas, undeterred, did all their posters by hand instead https://www.dannydutch.com/post/bizarre-movie-posters-from-africa-that-are-so-bad-they-re-good

The actual paper is beyond my level of physics knowledge, but Oxford uni published an article about it themselves which looks far better to me. No clickbait headline and it explains the significance of the achievement far better

You remembered correctly https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-12564879

For readers outside the UK, it should be added that even if the UK somehow really couldn't afford the tiny fraction of its budget that the ads describe, the number was utter horseshit too. Whether or not there was any truth never mattered

I like how there's the technically true but misleading B, and then the strictly untrue D that is still actually way closer to the actual character of events

Frankly I don't think he owes any tolerance to the guy who is already advocating for the invasion that has killed hundreds of thousands of his fellow Ukrainians. Strategically I don't think it's a bad move either; being nice to Carlson isn't going to get him anywhere because Carlson is a repugnant man and Zelenskyy's evaluation of him is spot on. He might as well show some backbone and humour by mocking him instead, it makes him more likeable to the people that aren't the lost cause of Carlson fans

He actually did have a decent response when he was asked about Gaza and Trump's "plan" in parliament, specifically saying that Palestinians must be allowed back to their homes and allowed to rebuild, and also that Britain should back them in that

When I write them, I do the loop anticlockwise until I reach the ascender, continue the stroke straight up to drae the ascender, then back down to put the little tail down to the baseline or continue on to the next letter

That was probably a sensible decision

Is the distinction being drawn between Marxist and Marxist-Leninist, or is "radical Marxism" referring to radicalism as in Jeremy Bentham? Or is there some third thing going on?

The best one was definitely that time that a hexbear user joined in to lemm.ee's "do we defederate from hexbear?" thread to tell the admin that "your kulak great grandparents deserved it" apparently on the basis that he's Estonian and doesn’t like the Soviet Union

Shoutout to poleslav for telling me to ignore the thermometer and giving general encouragement. My distillation efficiency was absolutely terrible and I got the balance of juniper and hibiscus way off, so it's sweeter than I intended, but it's definitely pleasantly drinkable.

For those that can't read my handwriting, it was a super basic barley mash to make the base alcohol, then juniper, hibiscus, rose, and elderflower as botanicals.

 

Over a decade in the works and two since Time I, it is here. I've only had one listen so far, and not really enough to offer an actual review, but I'm thoroughly enjoying it. I think I'm going to be coming back to the guitar solo two third of the way through Storm quite a bit.

 

I'm particularly fond of heather ales and spruce beers. The only sahti (which has juniper) I've had was made by me, so I have no idea if I got it traditionally right, but I certainly enjoyed it. No disrespect to all you IPA lovers out there, but the hops-forward style isn't my thing, so for those of you that are in the same camp, where do you like to turn?
