@willmcgugan so no to just cake, but yes to just desserts?

I'm going to be 50 on July 5th. All I want for my birthday is the Tories to be decimated. And a cake. Cake is negotiable.

@anshuizme I recommend `git cherry-pick -x ...`. It adds "cherry picked from <commit hash>" to the commit message, so it's easier to answer "have I cherry picked this?" in the future

I regret that I didn't learn git cherry-pick earlier.

@ciphergoth but all the cool companys are doing it reuters.com/technology/mic…

Shouldn't you be able to demo a commercially useful net power reactor before announcing something like this?

@thingskatedid As a kendōka (someone who practices Kendo) man I men a lot. As a beginner I don't men good. I wear men to prevent injury when I receive men from other men, and women. #Modern_practice" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kendo#Mod…

Question for men: My man, who has been married to men for over thirty men, just found out that my man constantly scans for, assesses, and mens for possible men. Menfolk, do all of you men men?

Our cryostat is here! Both halves of the device that will be used to cool our high-temperature superconducting magnets for SPARC arrived at the CFS magnet factory this week. Next step: installation.

Last week we successfully ran hot liquid metal over a wall (under vacuum) and circulated it in a loop for 100 hours straight. This is a major engineering milestone and a significant step toward liquid metal walls in our future devices. #shiny

@willmcgugan and 4 of your 5 a day: potato, tomato, parsley, lemon

No cooking today. Feeling unwell and I was craving some fine Scottish Cuisine.

@TechAndMisc I'm not sure even Peter Jackson is up for a saga that long

@AdamChainz I think you may have misunderstood the KISS principal

what if one person got it and just made out with loads of others?

I'm enjoying The Immortals by @aleksk. A 10 part audio series about anti-aging research, attempts to rush it from lab to humans, and the technology hype cycle available as podcast podcasts.files.bbci.co.uk/p04sj2pt.rss or on BBC sounds bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

Day 8: Alex has started referring to himself in the third person, and narrating with a Geordie accent

It finally happened. Just a cough and a high temperature so far. #covid
