Interests palaeontology, art especially science and paleoart, science, medicine, history, sewing and beading. Most knowledgeable and least likely to engage in arguments about nutrition - what can I say, the pseudoscientific claptrap wears you down.

I have noticed a theme in paleontology of men mansplaining to other men. And you can’t really even engage any of the better memes. I guess manly man probably still works.

Always felt Princess Anne was more at risk competing for her country than he was in the Falklands anyhow.

My money is on them spending so much development effort in AI no one wanted that they didn’t do basic maintenance in their cash cow AWS.

Looking at the 1930s bus at the motor museum and thinking it’s not that different from the older ones when I was a kid. And then also it’s basically a horse drawn tram with an engine at the front.

Doubly interesting because it’s of the Belgium specimens and they’ve kept it the way they were incorrectly mounted With an information label showing a modern illustration. Proper science history. They also have the original megalosaurus jaw - I suspect this a cast though.

Was listening to the latest episode of the Weird and Dead podcast on Freaky Fingers yesterday which included the Iguanadon. So while at @morethanadodo.bsky.social yesterday I couldn’t resist having a look. They really are.
Fabulous podcast but beware in polite company 😂.

Great talk by @deanrlomax.bsky.social and @bobnichollsart.bsky.social at the @morethanadodo.bsky.social last night. Was a bit outfaced by the queue for signing but got to have a wander round and look at the wonderful collection.

Although vikings seem to have preferred silver at least in this hoard at the Yorkshire museum. They did spend it. They would chop little bits off the ingots.

It’s an investment. Gold is in finite supply (technically you can make it but it’s far too expensive a process to be worthwhile) and has a use. It can increase in value although can drop like everything else if the market decides it’s overvalued (see early 80s). You’d sell it rather than spend it.

If you’re wondering why I still have this, people sometimes ask why I don’t get my truck bodywork fixed up or get a newer one.
