Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.
"Yes, I will write you a letter of recommendation."

On February 7, 1784, after eight months of activity, the Laki eruption finally came to an end. From a system of 135 fissures and volcanic craters, an estimated 14 km³ of lava poured out, enough to cover the surrounding landscape beneath a100-meter thick lava layer...

Is this a real thing?!

I did. Does that make it worse? (I thought it was the normal thing to do?)

This is just from cutting it. Eating it was fine!
The onion that I used in my dinner tonight was so powerful that I had to wash my face and do a sinus rinse to get it to stop burning.

This was just from cutting it, not even from eating it!

As an earthquake physicist, I have always appreciated the frictional sliding on a bimaterial interface sport, haha!
(I would really like to try it at some point.)

No. We've been working on this project for way longer than this swarm!
But San Ramon has swarms fairly regularly. The going interpretation I've seen is that this happens because it's close to the endpoint of three different faults, which leads to some complicated interactions.

Oooh the undergrad who's been working on a project with me has some really cool results! Interpreting these is going to be fun!

It was awesome!
We spent the first week rehearsing and performing around Yogyakarta, then the second week mostly being tourists and attending some performances in Surakarta.
The group I'm in now in L.A. has floated the idea of going to Java in 2027 or 2028. I hope it works out!

The two-week trip/performance tour to central Java I went on with the UC Berkeley gamelan group will always be one of my most fun memories!

Thank you!!
It must be so frustrating to have your own hands preventing you from knitting! But if CTS is the main problem and if you're nervous about surgery - it's really not a big deal. I had carpal tunnel surgery in 2022. The nerve pain went away instantly, and I lost no movement or function!

I made this in August/September, mostly while I was fighting a case of covid. It was the only thing I had the energy to do, so it didn't feel like a patience issue at all at the time.
(But now I'm working on something with a ton of stockinette before I get to the colors, and I am getting impatient!)

Thank you so much!!
A friend who does a lot of colorwork taught me the trick of turning the work so the pattern is on the inside and the floats go around the outside, and I'm sure it helped a lot here.
I also thought the colorwork part was really fun, and I definitely want to do more!

When I saw the colors on that pattern basically right after I learned to knit, I was like, "This is going to be a goal for me."
