I'm interested in cooking and building stuff.
I love traveling, I lived in India, China, Slovenia, Poland and Spain.
Currently working in Spain in the field of genomics; and doing a PhD in Drug Development using Quantum Mechanics and Artificial Intelligence.
Don't take what I say as an insult, I have no bad intentions and I'm open to talk about it.
Don't star my toots, I find that often useless: if you liked it send a reply.
Consider boosting the toots, it's the only real way in which stuff is propagated through mastodon.

First carving of 2026
[ID 1 to 4 : Four pictures of a woodcarved plump red robin seen from different points of view. It sits on a rectangular base with rounded angles. The bird is very round. It is painted with burnt orange for the chest and a mix of brown and grey for the upper body.]

Vorrei spezzare una lancia per l'abbonamento a Peter Gabriel su Bandcamp. Ho provato ad abbonarmi, circa tre euro al mese, e il rapporto prezzo/qualità è imbarazzante. Non solo si hanno per ogni plenilunio le nuove canzoni che sta componendo per o\i, il suo nuovo album, ma si ha accesso a tutte quelle già online , quindi l'intero i/o, diversi live, e decine di demotape provenienti da tutta la sua carriera (anche alcune cose incise dopo aver lasciato i Genesis, ma prima del suo primo album).
@sio
29 euro è un po' troppo, d'altronde non mi servono così tante Word. Offrono un pacchetto a prezzo ridotto con il limite di 15,000 Word al mese?

Finite le festività ci avviamo alle ultime scelte per il calendario 2026-27. Oggi abbiamo un derby laziale e logorroico: Sant'Antonio da Padova a Santi Cosma e Damiano (LT) e la Chiesa del Dio Vivente Colonna e Sostegno della Verità La Luce del Mondo a Roma. Grazie a @akaCisco e @SmilaBlomma
@raccoon @ChieseBrutte @ALFA @lorenzo
Anni ho fatto studiando li nella biblioteca affianco.
La chiesa indicava che ti stavi avvicinando correttamente al luogo.
Tra la gente di zona c'è amore e odio, è brutta però almeno è un punto fisso che distacca un po' un posto di sole case popolari con una cosa diversa.
@ChieseBrutte
Non c'è limite al peggio.

BREAKING: Denmark announces historical claim to North America 🇩🇰
Our Vikings were there in 1021 CE.
755 years before USA existed.
If we’re doing territorial grabs based on ”who was there first”... we’ll see ourselves in.
Vinland (Wineland, red. Han) remembers (original name we gave this piece of land in the Norse Sagas).🍷⚔️

I've had coffee and a bagel and sworn at ai✨️
Let the day begin

I see, however probably this should not be adjusted to inflation as we're basically observing the price of a commodity compared with salary.
Wouldn't it make more sense to have a single line which is home price / real salary?
Hello @freemo where is the code for qoto hosted now?
The instance links here, but that only goes to v3.5.3 and mentions the repo moved somewhere else.

I ask mainly to understand on what version of mastodon are we.
I have problems with the hashtag subscription: it works in the webpage but using the fedilabs application it does not list existing subscriptions and does not let me add new ones.
The application GitHub has no issues about it, thus I believe this is an instance problem.
I remember qoto had hashtag subscription before Mastodon had, is that maybe related?
@SRLevine
I wish you the best of luck, and I'm happy I'm not you.

The combiflash might have died ("internal fraction collection error: fraction collector is unable to leave front-back home sensor"). First it clogged. And while working the clog out under manual control the system freaked out. One of the rare times I use manual control with fraction collection (and not just direct to waste).
Might have a small amount of material, but to make life more fun the bulk of the product crashed out on the column before this happened. This was a 1 g reaction, late stage of synthesis with many steps. There are 100s of mg of product. That's light sensitive. The column is 120 g with 192 column volume, so manual elution with a syringe isn't going to be a thing (my largest is 60 mL).
I want to cry. Or break something. I'll take either.

Dicono che in Spagna costa poco e qua e la. Si, vero però a Milano un pasto completo 10€ mentre la te lo sogni.
Me gustaría tener comidas así a 10€ en Santiago...

The claims of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq were at least kind of credible.
The US even lost the bit of ability in covert operations and espionage they were very good at.

Lol, so are you fucking ready for this?
The US government just amended its Maduro indictment because someone who speaks Spanish finally told them that Cártel de los Soles is a Venezuelan euphemism for corruption and not actually a cartel.
I wish I were making this shit up but it's real. If they convict Maduro after that, you can one and truly know this was not a trial but a real life theatrical performance.

I need university administrators (and probably some other people too, but definitely university administrators) to understand something: you cannot motivate your faculty to do more research or better teaching.
They are already maximally motivated people. They did not get the job by being unmotivated. A good chunk of them have more motivation than is healthy for them.
Any action you take to "motivate" them is going to be demotivational. Any of them. Yes, even that one that you just thought of. Yes, even the one you heard about from one of your peers at a different institution that you're jealous of.
Lean in close, here's the secret: all you have to do is (a) support them in doing their jobs, and (b) not fuck things up.
@ricci
Dear university, please: never ever contact me unless you want to give me money. Then we're good and our is a good working relationship.
But no: I don't want to know what the secretary thinks about it, I don't want to know what documents they think I should be filling up, I don't want to know the stupid reasons someone from the administration came up with such stupid requirements.
Just ask the secretary to fill those documents for me, and we'll be good.
Oh, free coffee would be cool btw.
