«O outro día fun dar unha palestra sobre o clima á miña antiga escola de secundaria en Xenebra e foi a min a quen lle deron unha clase maxistral, sobre os nosos erros. Esta é a historia...»

España en Europa

Currently experimenting into making homemade energy drinks or focus drinks.

You got the classics like capsaicin, caffeine, and nicotine for nervous system stimulants from various sources.

The current challenge is to weed out the various sources. Have already experimented with:

- pepper tincture
- chai tincture
- Tabasco sauce
- black tea
- black coffee
- Nicorette (nicotine)
- yerba mate tea
- matcha tea

Looking into which other natural substances can create a stimulating effect or which combination of natural substances.

Hot sauce + pepper tincture + chai tincture + black tea is a nice a treat.

Has the ‘great resignation’ hit academia? "exits threaten progress on diversity, equity and inclusivity ... The overwhelming narrative is that people are happier once they leave academia." #LeavingAcademia

Che roba!

Scrivono un software di previsione di eruzioni vulcaniche, ci mettono dei dati (reali) per fare un test… e il programma fa una previsione di eruzione a 5 mesi di distanza.

Sbagliando la data di un giorno solo.

As a challenge, I'll try to eat different fruits or vegetables each day for 30 days! 🍒🍉🍍🍅🥦🍆

1: Shanghai bok choi 🥬 Such a fun & fast Brassica! <3

it. is. DONE!

Now @diegor has backpack that matches mine!

I believe I started working on this in 2019, did a bit, stopped for a long while, did another bit, stopped a very long while, etc. so getting rid of the WIP (and having the finished object to use) is a very nice feeling.

This is the first Bird and Moon cartoon I've seen, but it won't be the last. I can always use a good reminder not to be trapped by binary, pessimistic thinking.

According to Wikipedia ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science ):

"Science is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe."

For engineering ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering ):

"Engineering is the use of scientific principles to design and build machines, structures, and other items, including bridges, tunnels, roads, vehicles, and buildings. The discipline of engineering encompasses a broad range of more specialized fields of engineering, each with a more specific emphasis on particular areas of applied mathematics, applied science, and types of application."

I will admit that not all applications of science are engineering, but in general they are.

The examples you provide are applications of scientific knowledge. The physicist example falls under policy, not science (i.e., the physicist is not testing any hypothesis or expanding the field), and the psychologist example is actually closer to psychiatry (practioners of psychology, i.e., doctors).

Science has a very clear definition, and saying that its "common-sense" meaning is different is not helpful.

E' passato un anno da quando mia mamma non c'e piu. Da quel momento ho smesso di fare pasta fresca perche la facevo con lei ogni settimana, e dopo averla mangiata ci guardavamo Master Chef, lo sapeva gia tutto e mi spoilerava sempre chi vinceva le prove. Ma io me la ridevo e lei mi insegnava trucchi di cucina. La cosa che mi avvicina piu a lei adesso e' fare le ricette che mi ha tramandato, per quanto fossero giuste o modificate da lei. Oggi ho rifatto la pasta per lei. Per ricordarla. <3
