@ArisDimokidis ελπίζω να έχει και το «ΤΙ ΚΑΝΕΙΣ ΕΚΕΙ!??! ΦΙΛΑΣ ΤΗΝ ΑΝΑΠΗΡΗ???» (που μάλλον είναι μετάφραση από το Βραζιλιάνικο αλλά και πάλι μέρος της καλτίλας)

@dylanwiliam @C_Hendrick It is said that in one particular subject in my school it used to be the case that unless you’d done the reading you weren’t allowed in class. Bit harsh imho but they did in fact end up with amazing value added. Probably because they ran a tight ship in general though.

@C_Hendrick This is why I never assign pre-reading before a presentation. Most won't have done it, so you have to go over it again, which irritates the ones who did.

We shall measure stellar brightness logarithmically, and it will be called the "magnitude." - Sir, will that logarithm be base 10, or based on Napier's constant? Neither. It shall be of the base of the fifth root of one hundred.

I am looking for the coolest research done by Greek scientists, academics and experimenters today (in and out of Greece). Please share some examples below. It can even be your own work. 🔬🇬🇷

@oldandrewuk Y7 art. 3 s’s outside room. One remarked “we’re the normal ones”, rest in anarchy down the corridor. Praise worked for about 10m b4 all the temporarily suppressed nastiness between them took hold. Class ended with student nearly losing an eye&SLT nowhere to be found for last 20’.

Anyone that ascribes the sexagesimal system to the Greeks honestly has no business tutoring about the history of astronomy and time. Sorry. This thread is not accurate in more ways than one.
The Cultural Tutor@culturaltutor

The way we organise time is strange. 365 days in a year, 12 months (of 31, 30, 28, or sometimes 29 days), 52 weeks, 7 days in a week, 24 hours in a day, 60 minutes in an hour, and 60 seconds in a minute. How did this happen?! The story begins with an Ancient Egyptian sundial...

@BretDevereaux Would you say this reflects differences in terms of deeply rooted class distinctions and social expectations in Hellenistic societies which was less pronounced/deeply rooted in Roman society?

It is striking to me that, as much as a lot of modern pop history on ancient warfare loves 'elite' and 'crack' units of troops, the armies I can think of that really have 'elite' units are Hellenistic armies, which of course famously get wrecked by the Romans, who don't.

@niki_klm @th4lis Επίσης πρόκειται για ειδική ποικιλία (san marzano) που έβγαινε αποκλειστικά στο Νότο το φθινόπωρο, για αυτό μπαίνει στον κόπο να κάνει τη διαδικασία. Είναι και πανάκριβες ακούω

@niki_klm @th4lis Απλά χωρίς την επεξήγηση ενδεχομένως κάποιος να νομίζει ότι η σάλτσα είναι έτοιμη για κατανάλωση από το βαζάκι, ενώ δεν είναι, εξ’ου και η παρέμβαση
