Anni fa dei turisti tedeschi si stupirono perché da noi non c'è una differenziata del vetro come Odino comanda… cioè diviso per colore, che viene pagato di più.

The tallest tree in Wales got damaged by a storm and was supposed to be cut down, instead chainsaw artist Simon O'Rourke found a better solution to symbolize the tree’s last attempt to reach the sky.

Well it definitely isn’t pretty but these are the first test beads from my very first attempt at arc welding. The one on the left was the first, which isn’t completely horrible but it got worse after that.
Definitely a learning curve, but unlike my Prime Minister, I didn’t go blind and as a bonus didn’t set fire to anything either. #welding

“A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.”
- Max Planck

Per una volta mi sono ricordato di fare la foto!

Pesce al sugo!

Purtroppo non so di che pesce si tratti, però il prezzo era molto buono a 3.50 al chilo più un po' di sardine.

In science, my method is always most refined when I'm almost done using it.

Mi giunge voce da Barcellona che nei supermercati stanno iniziando i razionamenti.

C'è qualche conferma?

Wow, I just discovered that Fortran code can be lower case!

It was great, they seem to be really interested!
They said they'll call back at the end of the week.

And another Draknek game! Sokobond is a simple, elegant, minimalist Sokobon-like about Chemistry. No knowledge needed! The game will actually teach you. Neat and fun.

Tomorrow I have a job interview for a researcher position in a university; the project appears very interesting.
Wish me luck!

Something is happening on the backside of the lathe headstock!

The Schaublin 102 we got has a threaded spindle nose onto which the chuck backplate is screwed. To loosen this again you need to prevent the spindle from rotating while leveraging on the chuck. Previous owner of the machine used the dividing plate hidden in the headstock for this - which is brass and not made to withstand these forces, and also very hard to get to if it breaks. So I'm designing and fitting an outboard spindle lock.

Tu sostieni la guerra e le armi come strumento di pace, ma non vai in guerra e mandi armi pagate anche con i soldi miei a civili che non sanno come usarle o a militari che le usano per fare la guerra e non la pace. Io sostengo la cultura di pace, cooperazione e difesa civile, lo faccio con 30 anni di impegno personale e sono andato in Cecenia a mani nude come obiettore di coscienza a documentare i crimini di una guerra in corso, mentre tu chiamavi terroristi gente morta di guerra e indifferenza.

4:48 am spending two sleepless night to experience the pain of homelessness, and once more to feel when you are in strange land, have you ever spent life or night with homeless people?
