I haven’t been sharing interviews here, but it was an absolute delight to join Kate Lister on #BeTwixtTheSheets to talk about the #history & #science of kissing.
Yes, I’m a scientist focused on policy, sustainability & communication, but 12 years ago, I wrote a book called The Science of Kissing. We contain multitudes.

I turn it off.
It makes little difference to power consumption and distorts the image balance.
Surely BBC R&D can tell you that. They had smart people when I worked in the BBC.
Also I use a 6W sat box, FM TX (sold for phone/mp3 to car radio) and FM Radio for non-local stations. Lower power than many DAB (turned off May 2021 in Ireland).
No-one I know uses TV to listen to Radio, though a £10 USB DVB-T stick can work on laptop or Android.
The best way to improve energy use in the longer term - is for the #BBC to join those on the right side of history.
Stop supporting fossil fuel industries, politicians or the public, by proxy (e.g., stop reporting their non-science rhetoric without critical evaluation)
Either that or just turn the BBC, ITV, etc, off & read a science publication.
Doing research and realizing that unfortunately #SiYuan messes one thing up - backlinks and mentions render the inline content that contains the link.
The way SiYuan models pages, lists of any kind are structural objects that attach inline content.
That means while you can write outliner-style lists in SiYuan, the context of that list, especially child bullets, doesn‘t automatically come along like it happens in #logseq - or #capacities.
@neilhimself I need to get my comics organized and in doing so I'll be getting my life together. I'm living in unorganized chaos. I need to go to IKEA. Send help.
@MishaalRahman@9to5google@android
have they made Google assistant dumber and dumber on purpose?! I said snacks. It heard snakes?! Even Gboard understands. Hell, even YouTube understands what I'm asking for!
I even tried to retrain my voice. BUT NOOOO😭

Desde 2019 estaba haciendo un hilo, en la otra red social, con pensamientos breves sobre cada libro que me terminaba. Como no voy a volver por allá, voy a seguirlo aquí.
Quizás los spamee un poco por aquí hoy mientras me pongo al día.
Los géneros literarios son un artefacto de mercadeo, por lo que las barreras entre la ciencia ficción, la fantasía y el folclor realmente no son tan grandes como a veces imaginamos.
Fascism comes slowly, but it grabs a hold by strongly categorizing people into well-defined roles and making them lust for the little privileges each rung of the ladder seems to offer, blinding them to the big picture.

@PFCOGAN There are plenty, but it doesn't matter where you start. New writers to medium should check out @bookstodon for general interest. There are others for varied interests, including @smutstodon for erotica
Welcome!
#GameInfekt - Das Spiel ist soooo hübsch! Erinnert total an ältere JRPGs und der Charme kommt echt gut rüber. Der Soundtrack ist auch super. Freue mich schon sehr auf den Release Ende August. 💗
On 24 July we have issued our first volume. It includes a nice editorial piece outlining the journal's life story and our future plans and hopes (for Tektonika #DOAJ and #openscience).
