There I thought I might actually be able to avoid #MariahCarey this year…thanks #NaritaAirport
Oh that’s pretty cool. I was thinking the above into a postcard or a sticker of some sort, but this one would be a great thing for promotion purposes.
I think Andrew C showed me that before… Is it like a visualisation on an unwrapped dice like the below, or a cube in 3d space? Either way I think I know how that could be done (because it’s basically an inverse of what you would do with native ECCO data).

Hey astrophysicists, a presence (absence) of KH billows in some astrophysical shear flow doesn't always imply a lower (upper) bound on the local magnetic field strength! See arxiv.org/abs/2510.031...

Minor upsides to insomnia (and some minor coding wins at 5am...) #zzz
Been thinking about forced convection a bunch and can only recommend Chaos for being both kind to my junior and shockingly quick about it. pubs.aip.org/aip/cha/arti...

Title card for Mindscape episode with David Tong.
Mindscape 321 | David Tong on Open Questions in Quantum Field Theory. I *know* you've been worried about why the electroweak theory cannot be defined on discrete spacetime. #MindscapePodcast

My legs definitely thanked #QatarAirways for that part trip. My sanity with the expenses claim, not so much.
[20 hr travel with #QatarAirlines, options to upgrade to business]
Me: ...nah because $$ and have to justifying expenses
1st leg: feel free to choose any of the rows
2nd leg: ticket issue,
"sorry sir we would like to put you in business class please take this new ticket"
Don't mind if I do 🌚🌚🌚
