'The evidence is starting to mount': physicists at the Large Hadron Collider have found a possible 'anomaly' that could unlock 'a new understanding of how the universe works' — and 'charming penguins'... Inside a million-to-one particle event, the LHC may have uncovered a subtle anomaly that challenges everything physicists thought was settled

This is one of those articles, where I suspect the number of people who actually have any understanding of the significance of what is being discussed (or of the accuracy of the article) is probably very limited.

What a pointless task - especially when it doesn't even state any sort of methodology.
They might as well rank by word count.

Yeah. You kind of expect it with a guitar or violin etc. Not too many strings to tune compared to a piano though.

Essentially the moment the weather changed it went out of time. We had it tuned once or twice, but it never stayed that way for long.
It has oval ivory panels on with painted pictures of semi nude ladies...

We also had a second piano art home that was more an ornament. Only saw it played a handful of times.
It is an antique cottage piano that my great aunt won in a raffle. It sounded like the ones on westerns because it was always out of tune because it had a wooden (not metal) frame.

I think a lot of those appeared on the second hand market as their usefulness was superseded. I recall my boss in my first job had acquired one and spent his evenings trying to restore it.

I'm not at all sure what the story was behind it. My dad's parents were grocers, but his mother also taught the piano. I think it was given to him as a present when he left where he worked at some point. He used to play it very occasionally.

There was a clavichord at my parents house (still is). Growing up I kind of assumed every house had one.

A "different way" that would fail you in any school maths class - but somehow we are just meant to nod our heads and go along with it.

Also - can someone explain this different way to me - with a method that works consistently?

A picture of a majestic humpback whale leaping from the seas with the caption “humpback whales are forming super-groups”, rather than simply admire the wonder of nature I am making a poor quality music gag

This is why whale punk had to happen

The only other term I've heard that word used is in reference to the son of former UK PM Margaret Thatcher.

Also, Wonga was the name of a dodgy payday loans company in the UK. Basically a legal (ish) Liam shark operation.
Never was a bankruptcy more deserved.

The whole section of the bus from Canterbury hospital to Wonga Road (I'm in the express one that bypasses Campsie) always feels way slower than it should be.

How are you doing BTW? Realised it's ages since I've seen you online - possibly because I'm in a different timezone now.
How is life in the world of UK architecture? I'm now living in a place that surprisingly barely believes in the concept of double glazing, insulation or airtightness.

When I started doing far longer races though I switched to race belts. They are meant for triathlon, but let you put the number low down clipped to it and so you won't hide it when you put on a waterproof jacket etc.

Heaps of forms now sell sets of pairs of really powerful magnets. You stick them either side of a paper race number and can easily slide it on your top to reposition it.

For running race numbers - until I discovered magnetic clips.

I always imagine outback weather stations as being like the one in the movie Walkabout.

Chilly in Sydney this morning - our is out just that the new place I'm in is less warm then where I was before (which is hard to believe - but could well be the case).

This really is unnervingly similar to someone else...

Agreed. It has so many benefits. The idea that humans are just machines that need to be paid is so far from reality.

Pete Hegseth quotes fake Pulp Fiction Bible verse during Pentagon sermon

This is hilarious - yet doesn't surprise me:
Donald Trump's Defence Secretary has adapted lines from Pulp Fiction falsely attributed to the Bible, while giving a sermon at the Pentagon.

Ah. I assumed it was usually a warm drink like hot chocolate.

How is it meant to be done?
This was in a patient kitchen in a hospital, so more limited options than at home.
