In my semi-sentient opinion #scicomm and #popsci is a much misunderstood art (ha!) - getting the balance between "pop" and "sci" or between "sci" and "comm" seems very tricky. Not so for the author of Sticky

@npub1wjw…ue5t A shame you haven't yet provided servers that will actually synch on my phone, or customer service that can reply to tickets in less than a week.

According to their Xitter profile "A better internet starts with privacy & freedom." but clearly
@npub1wjw…ue5t
does NOT think "a better internet includes providing any customer service at all.
"Please note that due to the heavy load of tickets, we might not be able to reply to your inquiry within the next 24 hours."
Or within 48 hours ,or 72 hours, or 96.
NO reply AT ALL in 4 DAYS? I might be paying for privacy, clearly that payment doesn't buy customer service. Abysmal

@npub1hvz…mle9 I love them! I am in fact both surprised and impressed that you offer tham (a) at all and (b) gratis. Since I find that podcasts, ANY AND ALL podcasts, grate like fingernails across the chalkboard of whatever it is that passes for my soul, I wish other podcasts would follow your excellent lead

"The study, published in the Review of Educational Research, also found that while there is a negative relationship between digital reading and comprehension for primary school students, the relationship turns positive for secondary school and undergraduate students."
So the article itself very explicitly says it IS an age thing, bad for kids better for adolescents

4.5/5 @npub1x3v…2eke for Molly Clavering's "Because of Sam", book 7/15 for me in #DeanStreetDecember 2023. Nearly flawless, delivering all the middlebrow muddles and mellow magnanimity one could hope for. #AmReading #ebooks #Kobo @npub1kt3…5004 #ReadersOfMastodon https://app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/72af6223-a3c2-4d46-bd13-9b43f47812dc

@npub1hvz…mle9 "THE British accent"? 🤔

@npub1hvz…mle9 Does this count? My siblings and all our paternal cousins all call our shared grandfather Father (you can hear the capitalisation too), as his children did. It understanbaly confuses anyone not in the family that if anyone of us says "Father", we are not talking out our Dad.

@npub1hvz…mle9 As someone who loves podcasts the way Pyongyang loves Seoul, THANK YOU for the transcript, great read!

@npub1aum…5jx0 @npub1kt3…5004 This challenge really made me smile - the ONLY paper books I have are non-L1 dictionaries or language learning books. In "Hindi Structures Intermediate Level" by Peter Hook, the 1st sentence on page ४५ is "तुम अपने घर की ओर जा रही होगी". This could be rendered "you will be going to your (own) home" 🤣

@npub1twe…kad0 @npub1y8w…x20n DNA tests are fun, aren't they? My family's Anglo-Indian, and for a long time many in my family resisted the idea that the higher than usual amounts of melanin came from South Asia. My sister and I both took DNA tests recently, and having it confirmed genetecially put that argument to rest. 😀

@npub1y8w…x20n @npub1twe…kad0 Lovely to 'meet' someone else with an alcohol intolerance, and thank you for the explanation of the problem. Like you, I cannot ingest any food containing alcohol or cooked in or with alcohol. I can't even be in the presence of ths strong smell of alcohol, the smell induces a feeling of nausea in just a few minutes. It's tedious having to explain even to chefs that cooking only removes ~30% of the alcohol from foods and that I will be VERY sick, VERY quick if I have any

Watching a #CDrama and very impressed by something I don't ever recall seeing in any of the 300 or so #KDramas I have seen - a male lead who chooses not to drink alcohol. The way #KDramas continue to glorify Korea's toxic drinking culture is a persistent bane for me

@npub1w6n…fx6t I was born and raised in Rotorua, lived there until I was 10. I never smelt it until we moved away and the first time we came back I said to my Dad "what's that smell?" That was 40+ years ago, and to this day I LOVE the smell of Rotorua.😍

For my first ever Mastodon post, 2 minutes that are STILL among the highlights of my year. Routine for Rakiura residents, but for us, seeing tokoeka in the wild in the daytime WAS 'wild' - simply sublime. Seeing another one 30 minutes later, tino pai! #TeWharawhara #Ulva #rakiura #tokoeka #kiwi #aotearoa
