Computer botherer and occasional physicist. What I lack in talent I more than lack in enthusiasm.

Yeah, sex is great, but have you ever read a textbook in which the author says “The astute reader may have noticed” something you noticed?

I know nobody hears me on this platform, but I just want to say that the most wonderful thing about #Dark is the (perhaps ironical) fact that every time I finish watching it, I feel compelled to rewatch it from the beginning again.

Was having difficulty understanding something that a textbook considered obvious. After several days of thinking about it, I have finally figured out that it is, indeed, obvious. #Physics

Our broadband is down. Got an email telling me an Amazon parcel is due, and briefly worried about whether they’d be able to deliver if the internet was down. I have occasionally been accused of being intelligent.

I don’t want to be accused of a knee-jerk response, but it seems to me that the guy in charge of tariffs shouting “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY” a couple of hours before doing something that would greatly and predictably benefit buyers *seems* just a teeny bit MASSIVELY ILLEGAL. No?
