If the filler cap recommends Castrol, I'm gonna put Castrol in it.
I'm a simpleton when it comes to things that filler caps say.

I finally finished The Brutalist, since someone mentioned it at work, and I wanted to see whether the spoken Hungarian was any good, as they controversially used AI to support Adrien Brody, who isn't a native speaker.
I don't like it.
Also, why put a MÁV Hargita in there?? (rant in alt text)

When people think "laboratory" they think of cleanroom-like spaces where labcoat-clad people do amazing things.
They probably don't think of me, angrily jabbing the roughing pump's motor to get it to turn over on my 1970s oil diff pump stand.
Next to janky lead shield and nitrogen-ravaged floors.

I'm all about the HEAT today.
It's been like 5 million years that I last used a burner... And even back in school, it annoyed me to death that everyone, including teachers, called these Bunsen burners, despite pretty much all of them being Teclu burners. Hmph!

I was all like "Why don't we just heat it in the glovebox?" and my colleague was like "But how are you gonna get a hot plate into the glovebox??" and I was like "Uhhh through the load lock???" and he was like "But that doesn't fit????" and I was like "YES IT DOES! SEE?"

I noticed white stuff on my car and thought it'd just be frost residue. But no, it's some dry, powdery substance. Is it road salt? Looks much too fine. Is it cocaine? Rat poison? That side of the car faced a grass strip and then a sidewalk, so how on earth did it get all over the roof??

Always wanted to be a scientist.
Started studying physics in 2007.
Went to a research group by chance (followed two friends).
Did my Bachelor in that group.
Also my Master.
Also my PhD.
Then became a postdoc.
Now have one of those unspeakably rare permanent positions.
Boringly straightforward. :D

With this thing now back in operation, it's back to the Friday ritual of cramming it as full as possible with cryogenics. Compared to its 1970s predecessor, this thing can last an entire weekend without needing to be topped up with helium, while automatically ramping down the magnet if it runs low.

Just a floppy-eared border collie waiting by the pond… feeling happy, cozy, and hoping for a little company to share the day with. 🐾🥰

What is that? The fire brigade wants another warning sign, aimed just at them, to warn of strong magnetic fields?
Sure! *slaps it on* I'm all for more warning signs!

Check this shit out! An automatic warning sign for our high-field cryostat that lights up as soon as the magnet produces a meaningful stray field! And it runs off a UPS, so even if the fire brigade were to slap the red mushroom, it would still remain lit if the superconducting solenoid is energized!

Getting a letter at work, from the district government, addressed to me.
Oh jeez, what could that be...

Notification of charges?! What for??
Oh. Radioactive waste disposal. Okay, that's all good then!

This is one of my saddest but truest cartoons.
And in a moment where the world feels painfully divided, some still say calling out division creates more of it.
But silence never helped the people already hurting.
Let’s be brave enough to see it, name it, speak it, and work to heal it.

Ever since I saw this sketch youtu.be/2pEoJgc4FQY?... I wanted Marillenknödel from Billa. And since I was driving through Austria, a quick stop was in order to finally fulfil that dream.

Yes, hello, I'm back in Germany after another 11-hour powercruise.
I also chose a scenic spot to run low on oil.

Went to Csepel today, in the hope of perhaps seeing some of the last MIX/A trains in service. No such luck, but at least I was able to see 841 through the fence... Built in 1965 and not yet stricken from the roster, as far as I'm aware, but clearly not far from retirement. :(
