Tonight at 9pm GMT (yes, GMT, the clocks went back while you slept) I'm DJing live from a secret studio in Burntwood, with the stream open from about 8:30 for a warm-up. It runs on my own Owncast server, so the chat is open to anyone with no login, and you can […]

Under the heading "theaardvark shows" is a list called "The week", with each show as a coloured bar: Full Spectrum, Fridays 7pm to 9pm; theaardvark's radio show, Tuesdays 3pm to 4pm; The Spoonie Sessions, Mondays 11am to 1pm; theaardvark live, from 9pm, usually 2 to 3 hours; and The Zoomy Drivetime Show, Fridays 5pm to 7pm. Lower down, an unfinished "Don't miss one" section still says [to write].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nml6axyu2p7fpvknmeyd4bho/bafkreih2awhjd5kexmewxmqfkd3uqww4kqvdinvi2d5ctiw3sbx3rpie2m)

- and [0,3], respectively [Fig. 3(a)]. This led to 4.8 × 10⁵ individual simulations sampled on 4.8 × 10³ grid points. For each run, we measured the active MASHer rms angular momentum about their centre of mass x_c.m. = (L/2π) arctan[Im(A)/Re(A)], where L = 1.03√(πr₀²N) is the simulation box size, A = Σ_{i=1}^{N_a} exp(-2πix_i/L), N_a is the number of active MASHers, x_i is the x position of the ith MASHer, and a similar expression holds for y_c.m.. In the low-flocking, high-noise limit, we found the angular momentum was near zero, and upon closer inspection, discovered a gaslike region [Fig. 3(b)] where MASHers quantitatively reproduced the statistics found in experimentally observed mosh pits [Fig. 2(c)].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nml6axyu2p7fpvknmeyd4bho/bafkreigwonxxljm6nna4qhf5e2umru2ukdo45cqakj7unnzb5dzsrsnsem)
![Photo of me in the Lichfield Radio studio, headphones on, arms out in a "well, here we are" shrug. Bald head, beard dyed pink fading to purple at the tip. Wearing a mustard yellow t-shirt printed with a Vault Boy-style cartoon giving a thumbs up under a sign reading "THE END IS NIGH".
To my left, a Lichfield Radio pull-up banner: Spike the flame mascot winking, beside the text "LICHFIELD RADIO — Let's Accentuate the Positive" and, below that, "A New Voice for Lichfield, [text obscured] & Surrounding Villages" with a QR code underneath. A blue lei hangs on the far left; a red-and-orange lei runs down beside the banner.
Behind me: a dark red wall covered in marker-pen signatures and messages, a red neon Spike sign, a framed "THE KING" poster, a small digital clock, and a desk with a mixing desk, laptop, dual monitors showing chat and media apps, and a studio microphone.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nml6axyu2p7fpvknmeyd4bho/bafkreiajqynrfatms32zraf2hh2auhpcmrewcgxtvskotkldzs7uiq7cca)
