The gorgeous Annie says that this is a wee cairn terrier puppy (her name is Morag)

But nobody can convince me they haven't given her a baby grizzly bear

#Lookatthatlittleface ❤️
Morag says good morning & would like to politely enquire about breakfast?

Well that was a doozy of a #BNEstorm. High winds, lashing rain running up the walls out side the bedroom. Fortunately only pea-sized hail in our part of #4068

"Guardian Australia understands the research areas impacted by the latest round of job losses will include the health and biosecurity, agriculture and food and environment research units"

So nothing important being cut then? 🤬

Molecular Dynamics run of the day. #Chemsky
It's still amazing to me that today I can run a protein molecular dynamics 100ns job in under 3 hours thanks to GPUs.

I saw some people who I don’t know talking about something I don’t know about here on this very website.

Rather than demand that they stop their discussion and explain what’s going on to me, I kept scrolling and will soon forget about it.

This option is available to you as well!
