@UCRiverside ...and here's half a Bell Tower! From pinterest.com/pin/5034180645…

Remember when #UCR didn’t have the Bell Tower? Neither do we… Here’s a reminder with a throwback pic from 1959. #UCRiverside #tbt

@VelocipedeRider @PeaseRoland I'm glad you found this thread. I saw the Twitter photos of you riding your penny farthing - wow, I'm barely coordinated enough to ride a *normal* bicycle; I can't imagine riding a penny farthing (especially in some of the terrain you've ridden yours!). Thanks for sharing!

There has to be a meme somewhere in this footage.

@encthenet @starsandrobots Nice drawing! Makes sense, gravity helps keep water where it should be. I suppose that top-loading washing machines do something similar. But now I'm wondering how future astronauts will wash their clothes and dry their swimsuits in zero-g...

I’m somewhat fascinated to know the story of how swimsuit centrifuges became universal equipment. Who invented this? Where was the first one? Over what timeframe have they come to prevail? Anyone got clues..?

@Casciencepete @dr_sciencemom @UCR_ScienceNews You're close - the humidifier is responsible, but it isn't the water it's putting into the air - rather it's something else that the humidifier is putting into the air - check out @11thNite's guess elsewhere in this thread for the answer!

@dr_sciencemom @UCR_ScienceNews @wgrover is the energy it takes to move sluggish water molecules cooling the flame?

@11thNite @UCR_ScienceNews @marciovm @ucrholly @dr_sciencemom Here's where someone on StackOverflow observed the same effect when running a humidifier beside their gas cooktop (view the full-size photo to see with and without humidifier):

@11thNite @UCR_ScienceNews @marciovm @ucrholly @dr_sciencemom There's enough sodium in the mineral dust to turn the flame yellow/orange due to the element's atomic emission spectrum! This is the exact same color you see when you put sodium chloride in a flame test in chemistry class:

@RMCarpiano So do we know who was trying to get these responses, and why they wanted them?

@grellmary My wireless router today with five videoconferences going on simultaneously:

@MLE_Online Lovely work! I’m imagining seeing it in a gallery - it would grab your attention, but in such a gentle and peaceful way. Does it play that soundtrack out loud, or is that just part of this video?

@ecyHanford @MnhtnProjectNPS @EcologyWA @WAStateArchives @USNatArchives I knew the waste storage tanks were big, but wow, this photo really brings it home...

Today's #Hanford history photo is a film crew at work inside a waste storage tank still under construction in 1954. It's believed this was part of the Hanford worker safety film "No Comedy in Errors." @EcologyWA #HanfordHighlights @MnhtnProjectNPS @WAStateArchives @USNatArchives

@CloudTodd I’m wondering the same - was setting up a new Pi Zero and having all kinds of problems with apt.

typo in tweet by me - raspbian.raspberrypi.org - still down tho?

@Raspberry_Pi is there a maintanance window or something going on? Cant seem to reach raspian.raspberrypi.org

@DrJoeHanson I’m convinced that’s @DrJoeHanson on my box of masks:

@DrThomasDickson Nothing that cool! No, just searching for fluorescent @LEGO_Group bricks for #FluorescenceFriday

@wellerstein I remember checking out the VHS tape of “Atomic Cafe” from the public library and watching it as a kid. Left quite an impression.

@MiteMusings @UCRiverside @UCRentomology @TopGearhead Welcome!

@mike_kennedy @RivCoDoc Got it - thanks for sharing. I called for the same test back on Sat. April 18 and had to hold for 1.5 hours, but they eventually got to me and didn't hang up on me! Got an appointment for 4 days later and the testing went very smoothly. Sorry to hear it's no longer that easy.

@wgrover @RivCoDoc I was trying to schedule a nasal swab to check for a potential infection.

On hold for over an hour to make a COVID-19 test appointment in Riverside County. Still waiting. We need to fix this. @RivCoDoc #COVID19 #coronavirus #CovidTesting

@mike_kennedy @RivCoDoc Just curious, was this for the new invitation-only antibody testing for a previous infection? Or the regular nasal swab testing for a current infection?

And then the system hangs up on me and I have to start over? This is unacceptable. How do you expect to get enough people tested if this happens??? @RivCoDoc
