Isotope biogeochemist at University of Eastern Finland. Currently working on methane and nitrogen cycles.
But people did this before, so I haven't given up hope.

Yes, and we can reasonably wait 1-2 days until samples freeze :/

I love the origin of this name.. It's such a Newfoundland story where you realize how deep the history of that place goes :)

They're called Lakka in southern Finland (and apparently Hilla in the north). It's probably the most popular jam here, especially with Leipäjuustoa (bread cheese or Finnish squeaky cheese: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread_c...). It's delicious.

I don't think they taste anything alike..

Local lore is that "The origin of the common name bakeapple has long been reported in NL to be an anglicized version of the French phrase "baie qu'appelle?", which translates as "What is this berry called?""

Naja, Wahlverhalten und approval sind aber jetzt schon zwei unterschiedliche Sachen die nicht so eins-zu-eins vergleichbar sind. Sonntagsfrage (also, eigentlich Dienstagsfrage) Daten gibt's keine, oder?

Ok, I looked it up now, 3000 tons, not 30 000 tons.

Dann halt kontaminiert? Versteht halt keiner.

Still waiting for someone to write '30 000 tons of stolen maple syrup'.

If that's true, how does one achieve a left-of-center majority? Also, doesn't that contradict the history of SD voters to far right parties? I'm not for wooing far right voters, but this seems somewhat defeatist to me ('we will never have a majority sprouting SD ideas')..

Nah. If God wanted us to understand the phosphorus cycle she would have given it a second isotope.

Maybe we should just program our editorial systems to auto-correct 'native speaker' to 'language expert' in all reviews? (or straight to 'writing is crap'?)
March 6, 2025 at 10:25 AM
Pretty much. I think this typically comes from a non-native reviewer, and in their local context this might be the nicer thing to say.
March 6, 2025 at 10:06 AM
That's all they had to say? That's some seriously bad / old-fashioned sci writing advice even before they take about native speakers..

I guess we have to update our historical comparisons from Munich Betrayal to Division of Poland :/
