This week I learned that there was a show called Den Store Strikkedyst (The Great Knit Off) a Danish knitting competition show in the vein of Great British Bake Off. Two episodes with English subtitles are on YouTube.

I love this knitter's reaction to being told she must speed knit for 30 minutes.

And as with GBBO, the presenter provides color commentary of the competitors.

@yourfutureex I had never heard of this band until April 2023, when the singer came to do a motivational/info talk to the year 12s at my school because he is the librarian's husband!

@MrBerard@pilote.me I teach high school kids. So many of them have no idea Beyonce was in a group before going solo. So often I have to prove it to them 🙃

G-mail assumes that "Amazon" refers to the company and not the river.

Had the back-to-work sads today. I wore some glittery bell bottoms and all was right in the world.

Just looked at my chem results for 2023. They did pretty well! Quite a few of them levelled up for their final exam. Only three 3s (SL) across a cohort of 96, all HL passed. Interested in the IA sample as all the 20+ scores were marked down by 2 or 3. Looking forward to the mark schemes too.

Mining the Mariana Trench... Woefully too real.

Having hit the 20 years parenting experience milestone in 2023 it’s time to offer some advice to prospective parents…
Plant a lemon or lime tree about a year or two before you’re planning to start a family. Because citrus look after themselves and you won’t be gardening again any time soon. And you’re going to need more gin & tonics than you can imagine to get your kid(s) successfully to adulthood.

I'm absurdly excited to learn that 2024 = 2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³.

...and it's because:

2025 = 45², and

45 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9, and

\( 1 + \cdots + n \)^2 = 1^3 + \cdots + n^3 !

Every year, Germans watch a senile #British woman force her #butler to drink to access on New Year's Eve.

"Dinner for One" is a #comedy skit from 1963 that has become the most played television program in #Germany.

"The same procedure as last year, Miss Sophie?" ---
"The same procedure as every year, James."

Despite living in the future here in #Australia, I have not forgotten my roots :NekoApprove:

Happy New Year!

found a trove of 2011 era memes on a backup harddrive

@ThePlant I am still on the other platform and mostly people (and then Musk reposts) are sharing Grok posts that are not as reasoned as this "Explain why being woke makes you go broke. Be vulgar." Is a common example 😑
