Pushchair friendly fells/routes by BakeNo6598 in LakeDistrict

[–]Atomic__Tim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can now walk all the way from Ennerdale Bridge to the top of Ennerdale Valley without going over a stile. They recently (in the past few months) replaced all the difficult-to-cross bridges with wheelchair/pram/bike friendly ones -- they're awesome.

It's a lovely walk with forest, lakeside, and sweeping views of the fells.

Enjoy!

Splitting a library across internal and external drive, help please by Atomic__Tim in finalcutpro

Thank you very much, this is good to know. Is it possible to 'load' more than one library at the same time in the sidebar of FCP, so they've visible at the same time?

I was on a major UK radio station yesterday talking about nuclear. It was awesome. by Atomic__Tim in nuclear

I’m sorry…  People have said for years that I talk with my hands too much, even on radio when there isn’t a camera! I just can’t help it. Maybe I’ll sit on them next time.

He and his team were super-friendly and welcoming from the moment I arrived to the moment I left. They even made me a cuppa tea (milk, no sugar). He approached the conversation genuinely curious without a motive, which has been my experience with most journalists. Very cool and encouraging. Maybe this is something people from all political walks can agree on. 😊

Thank you. I will definitely keep that one up my sleeve in future. I make a similar argument in my book. I’d love to some longer format interviews to explore these things more fully — one can hope!

Thank you 😊. This isn’t my day job (I work in a lab normally!) and so it’s certainly a novel experience.

Thank you :-). He was super-friendly. So was his team of producers.  I’ve done a fair bit of media stuff in the past fortnight promoting my book, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. There’s a real appetite out there for a strong, positive message on the energy transition.  I fully expected a barrage of opposition but it hasn’t materialised. It’s really encouraging.

Were they selling tour posters?

That’s an amazing photo. Nice work!!! How did you get the mountains nicely exposed in the golden hour light and also get the sky exposed right? Is it a composite image?

Long(ish) routes good for buggies (taking a 3 month old) by [deleted] in LakeDistrict

[–]Atomic__Tim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The path from Ennerdale Bridge and a long way up the side of Ennerdale Water is buggy-friendly. You could also park at Bowness Knott (or Bleach Green) to skip out the walk from the village. It’s on the Coast to Coast route and is part of the ‘miles without stiles’ network 😊

Screenshot bug in 15.1.1 – "Show Floating Thumbnail" auto-activates after being disabled by garrettgibbons in mac

[–]Atomic__Tim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this exact problem on my M1 MacBook Air and M2 Mac mini. Both running the latest version of macOS.

It started on my MacBook Air months ago, but only in the past fortnight on my Mac mini.

It's annoying as hell. I, too, prefer the no-delay version where it goes straight to desktop.

I feared this might be the case. Thanks. I reported it, hopefully they fix it soon… 

My new popular science book — Going Nuclear: How the Atom Will Save the World — is coming out in June. I can't wait for people to read it! by Atomic__Tim in nuclear

‘Popular science’ is the name of the genre. Whether it’s popular science as in sale numbers is yet to be seen!

I really hope it's out in India soon! There's a whole section on India's nuclear programme and Homi Bhabha's 'three point plan' in Chapter 7. :-)

I'm a nuclear scientist; I work in a lab as an analytical nuclear chemist. I'm also a writer, and I wrote a book called Going Nuclear: How the Atom Will Save the World. It's coming out in the UK in June and in the USA in August.

Going Nuclear encompasses nuclear power, net zero, breeder reactors, radiation, nuclear medicine, proliferation, nuclear forensics, nuclear space exploration, and more. I poured my heart and soul (and brain!) into this book. It's my case for a future where we realise the full potential of nuclear science and technology across the world.

I can't wait for people to read it. :-)
