Freezing and boiling water - the only thing we freeze and boil in our daily life(?) - seem good bookends.
In Fahrenheit, 0 and 100 are both kind of nothingy?
But each to their own. I grew up with C.
A planet with Mercury-based life would feel very differently.
I see a lot of tweets asking “Is Brady the greatest of all time?”
Well, it’s not for me to say. I’m just a guy doing my best to make a few videos and podcasts.
Turning clocks back and getting an extra hour of sleep is the best.
We should do that EVERY night then just remove an entire Monday from the calendar every 24 days.
No-one likes Mondays anyway.
When you accidentally have a giant pair of scissors in your scanned cabin bag… and the first thing security pull from the bag is a book about a plane hijacking. 🤦♂️
Hidden pockets of water on the Moon could be much more common than scientists previously thought, and the discovery could have potential implications for future lunar missions
Who would have imagined we'd live in age when you can watch literally any film by simply subscribing to 38 different streaming services and then praying your internet is okay tonight!?
Proposing a new pastry-based temperature scale:
0 is the temperature of a Gregg’s Steak Bake bought at a motorway services at 3pm Greenwich Mean Time
100 is the temperature at the core of McDonald’s apple pie (ie: the sun’s corona)
Americans perplexed over football games ending in “ties” (draws) are going to freak out when they learn cricket games can end in ties AND draws and they are two completely different things.
I’m convinced those red balls in dishwasher tablets have immense and crucial cleaning powers.
They’re made from rare elements found in diamonds that were mined on distant ice planets in the Oort Cloud.
Jupiter is ~890,000,000km away... Saturn TWICE as far.
They’re nowhere near each other.
But that’s why the conjunction is cool.
Feb 10, 7541, will be way cooler - from 🌏 they’ll appear to actually touch.
Love that we can calculate that & wonder if humans will be here for it?
Such a relief to get my first vaccination today... and everyone involved was so friendly and efficient. Thank you.
If you’re going crazy waiting for your turn - hang in there and stay smart.

That account seems to be stealing content at an industrial scale and simply saying where you stole it from does not constitute fair use. 🤷♂️
Cruithne has been nicknamed 'Earth's second moon'. Its elliptical orbit around the Sun is in resonance with the Earth's, so that from our perspective it appears to be following a bean-shaped orbit around us
I’ve watched so much CNN over the last 24 hours their logo is permanently burned into the corner of my retinas.
I expect my dreams tonight will feature a BREAKING NEWS strap line.
There needs to be a name for that moment you realise the Twitter tab has, yet again and against your will, flicked back to “For You” rather than “Following”
I’ve been trying to explain how extraordinary it is to land a one-tonne rover on a pinpoint location on a planet 100s of millions of miles away...
But Audrey would prefer I just scratch her tummy.

began uploading educational chemistry videos to YouTube. Anyway one thing led to another and now every day of my goddamn life I sing the jingle from a 1980s advert for an Australian sofa shop
Next level screwing over from our “friends” at
@virginmedia
Wanted service installed at our property. Pre-installation people came unannounced (we were not home) so they decided to “freestyle” this classic piece of workmanmanship on heritage area stone wall… but it gets worse.
Realising the power these companies have by simply being uncontactable and “losing” the connection when things get sticky.
@virginmedia
are notoriously bad but they are outdoing even themselves.
Moaning on Twitter is all I’ve got! 🤷♂️
Found this old report I wrote in 1999 in Adelaide - might amuse a certain subset of listeners.
(The digital mock-up was quite tongue-in-cheek by the newspaper art department, from memory)
