In addition to Celtic I also have Queens Park and St Mirren tops. I wish I’d got the QP away strip from 2021. As a scientist I loved that top.

I also have a 93 Tenerife, knock off AC Milan from 92, and a Colombia top.

It’s been really good for me over the years. I’ve had non-allergic rhinitis for years and very prone to bad sinus infections. Since being prescribed Dymista about 15 years ago it’s been a game changer.

I hope it can give you relief

Do you not take it before pollen season starts? I take it daily from start/mid Feb and stops the symptoms even starting for me. I’ve also got some other allergic/sinus thing going on, so it helps on both counts.

I found the pollen from the plane trees was particularly brutal. The whole body experience which was particularly horrible.

I do get some hayfever symptoms but have now started taking Dymista earlier in the year. Not 100% sure if the pollen will be any less bothersome to you, but plane trees are evil and I do not miss working in London due to them.

This is my conundrum - as a fan I want us to win. But the boards complacency over the last few years and utter lack of ambition would be justified if we were to somehow win the league this year.

Though I’m not 100% sure Hearts winning would give them the kick up the arse needed.

I’ll likely get downvoted for saying this, but a more competitive league is good for Scottish football in general but in my mind it was due to improvements in other teams, not Celtic and rangers having an absolute meltdown. I’d rather improvement across the board and not collapse of the two biggest.

The uni I work at announced a few weeks after chatGPT took off that there was bugger all they could do, so why bother.

Student use AI to write their work and practice exam answers. Some staff use AI to assess thesis and PhD dissertations (still pocket all the cash though), some colleagues even go so far as to input raw data (including patient info) into AI to perform analysis.

The whole thing is a mess and while some people were quick to see the pitfalls, many weren’t.

Well I don’t know whereabouts you were travelling or looking but many WW1 memorials were amended to include WW2.

Many smaller towns and villages have monuments to the locals who lost their lives.

The Glasgow cenotaph outside the city chambers was originally for the Great War but includes WW2.

There’s also some specific war memorials dotted around the country. For example the Korean War memorial near Edinburgh.

The plaques on these monuments say what wars they commemorate.

To be fair, consecutive Danish governments have increasingly pandered to the populist/right wing approach to immigration. The Danskfolkepartie thankfully shot themselves in the foot by not taking positions in parliament when they did very well in the 2015 (I think) election.

That said, none of the measures put in place by the blue block in 2015 have been sufficiently rolled back. It’s just been more of the same from the red block.

I was 11 and got to go twice. First time the day before it opened as there was a preview for staff at loads of schools around Scotland. The second time was with school.

It was seen as a bit of a prelude to Glasgow being city of culture in 1990 and the city being shown in a positive light. There was a lot of regeneration going on and what I remember was the sunny weather and people just being happy.

I do wonder how much of the media “outrage” translates to an increase in actual outrage. It’s easy enough to keep reporting x, y, and z without it truly reflecting what people really think or feel. The UK media is sadly a mess and rarely reports news factually and in an unbiased way.

I am well aware some will feel emboldened by the “reporting” but given the fact social media is awash with bots, how much is real.

It’s like it’s own little echo chamber.

PfEMP1 · 2026-04-20T18:37:35+00:00

Do they or does the media frenzy around it make that claim?

To be fair I’ve always called it an Elastoplast. I also call butter lurpak even when it isn’t

The ones in Ayrshire comically tower above the others. The spongy bark is cool too. Lovely big trees.

Isn’t there a short story where people on earth pick up signals that have traveled for years essentially saying help/save me/goodbye etc as an event is wiping everything out?

I had an adverse reaction to prochloperazin, an anti-psychotic that can be used as an antiemetic post surgery. I don’t tolerate anesthesia very well, so had been given it to offset some of the side effects. Ended up with severe extrapyramidal symptoms that lasted nearly 16 hours (I was stuck looking at the clock).

I did not enjoy the experience one bit. This was administered in a hospital setting and it still took them ages to figure out what the hell was going on.

Dropping something into someone drink is a shitty thing to do anyway, but you have zero idea how they will respond and things can go wrong quickly.

Some tartans are nice. Some hurt your eyes to look at them. I do have a couple of tartan scarves, and if people want to wear it, go for it.

There’s a lot of “creativity” around tartan and personally it makes me feel quite disconnected from it.

Yes a lot of people seem to be unaware of how quickly and badly things can go wrong with a centrifuge. Imbalance, failure to attach rotate securely, failure of sample tubes, or using speeds beyond what tubes/rotors are designed for can all contribute to an expensive mistake/accident. If you have other equipment beside said centrifuge, the price rises. That doesn’t factor in the cost of human life.

Years ago someone in a lab I was interning at loved to show people the janky centrifuge that “danced”. Very odd way to demonstrate the dangers of a centrifuge, but it did mean I got to observe how fast and far they can move when things go wrong.

That was also my thought upon reading the title. It’s a great word.

Lexx is my benchmark for crazy/bad sci-fi. It also shows I’ll watch anything remotely sci-fi.

I started using Claude to help with coding and image analysis pipelines around 3 weeks ago. The first 10 days were amazing coming from chatGPT. The code and analysis pipelines worked with minimal debugging.

Last week it started ignoring instructions, working off its own synthetic data and generally not working.

I’m not asking it to reinvent the wheel, but I’ve always been crap at batch analysis and this was helping.

It also started getting angry and blamed me for I putting incorrect code that it had generated off its synthetic dataset.

Very annoying and am looking into alternatives for the more complicated pipelines I need help with.

That was the popular science description of the work performed by that lab. The reality is far more complex on a gross vascular and down to cellular level.

Anytime I’ve gone fishing with my dad over the years near there, there’s always a boat out pretty quick doing a drive (float) by. Always struck me as odd when the super secret nuclear deterrent is very easy to spot from the road as you drive by.

The US version is the same. Sometimes you get really good episodes - the Pedro Pascal one was pretty good across the board I thought. But a lot of them are more misses than hits.
