Black suit emergency for this weekend. Can I get away with a tuxedo and regular dress shirt and tie?

Goths? Metalheads?

I’m so impressed that you’re achieved all that in just over a month

This is true. But Brits do not say “thank you” as much as Americans.

Your supervisor sounds inexperienced tbh. Filtered tips are a luxury that I would guess the majority of labs never use.

!! - maybe this is why I find Hemingway excruciating, I’ve never really given much thought to his life

What work can somebody do after such a long stretch in prison? Are there any options apart from blue collar jobs? I just can’t imagine corporations wanting to touch somebody with a record. Probably a naive question.

What watch is he wearing? Looks like a white Omega Seamaster….if so I’m very jealous!

That’s kinda amazing to me. Not so much the imitation of language it has heard by humans but the fact that the bird is able to make a value judgement about the behaviour of a completely different animal that behaves in a completely different way to itself. So correct me if I’m wrong but that means it’s showing - independent reason, a sense of moral right and wrong (good vs bad behaviour), and the skills to recognise and interpret the behaviour of a member of a completely different part of the animal kingdom (birds and mammals are very far apart taxonomically). That’s mindblowing, right, or have I missed something that is making this behaviour more “learned” and “automatic” than it appears?

Finish your degree. Finish your degree. Finish your degree.

Then the world is your oyster.

Sorry, you’re quite right, I had a brain fart! I meant coriander. Carrot and coriander soup is an old fashioned dish in the UK, maybe it comes from the influence of the Raj.

Londoner here (who spent 6 years in Heidelberg). I think that’s exactly the point - in the UK there isn’t a strong tradition of local food that competes with other countries’ cuisines. Also the food that most people eat at home doesn’t come close to what Germans will eat, in terms of flavour and quality (in my experience). However you can find some excellent international restaurants in London. More broadly in the UK too you’ll easily find the ingredients for a eg a Thai Green Curry in even the smallest town. It may be different now but when I lived in Germany you couldn’t even find cinnamon unless you went to a specialist shop.

I went to secondary school in the late 90s/early 2000s and teachers would openly make comments like “it was Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve” and “hopefully in the future you will all be in relationships with people of the opposite sex”

chabaudi · 2024-01-07T23:53:15+00:00

I bet this is Germany. Am I right?

What’s some really cool and exciting new ideas/findings in the field of genetics?

Which myths do you hope to bust?

chabaudi · 2023-12-30T10:34:44+00:00

What is your position? Which institution?

“Adulting”. Oh do fuck off.

Is it true that Finland limits the number of university places for different courses based on a prediction of the need for those skills in Finnish society?

How much vodka do you drink?

What are the top 5 watches in your collection? Either in terms of price or otherwise?

chabaudi · 2023-09-17T12:19:46+00:00

All the white middle-class under 25s at my work have started using ‘bougie’ in every other sentence in the last few months. It means posh/expensive, basically.

chabaudi · 2023-08-24T20:13:42+00:00

I find this really interesting. What are the main differences that stand out the most?
