Gave this wartrike an oil wash with linseed oil instead of white spirits.

The room now smells slightly nutty and I can lick my fingers clean provided there's no oil paint on them lol, but I'm curious how long this'll take to cure!

If you've got a piezoelectric lighter, the clicky thing that fires up gas stoves, blowtorches and lighters, please try clicking it next to a set of electronic kitchen scales or similar, see if you can get it to turn on without pressing the button.

Had another look - and decided to press the button (on a unimportant document).

I got a message asking me to sign in to start using the AI Assistant. So it's not on by default.

I then - #ForScience - created an account & clicked the AI Assistant button again

I got the same message (see image)

Clicking "User Guidelines" it takes you to -adobe.com/uk/legal/licenses-te -which is all about the stuff *YOU* shouldn't do (not what Adobe does/doesn't do with your data!)

Liebe Alle!

Schrödingers Katze ist aus dem Sack:

Wir freuen uns, den Heinz Oberhummer Award 2024, den Preis für Wissenschaftskommunikation, zu erhalten und uns so bei anderen Gewinner*innen wie @maithink, der Sendung mit der Maus, dem Coronavirus-Update vom @NDR, dem IG Nobelpreis und vielen anderen einzureihen! Danke an die Science Busters für diese Ehrung!

Wir haben auch ein Video dazu aufgenommen, das könnt ihr euch hier ansehen 👉 oberhummeraward.at/

Sometimes I see in a dating profile something like:

"No scammers!"

I'm wondering what practical effect this has. I know for a fact that scammers *do not read profiles.* So this won't stop the run-of-the-mill scammer.

However, for SCIENCE, let's pretend that a scammer has read the profile. The chat might go like this:

Prey: "Hey!"

Scammer: "Hi. I live on an army base. What do you do?"

P: "I'm a librarian."

S: "I have a son, but I cannot leave the base. Can you send me XBox gift cards so that I can buy him a game. I'm broken this month."

P: "You sound like a scammer."

S: "I've read your profile and you say no scammers. If I were a scammer, I would have passed on you."

P: "Oh, in that case..."

Today I had forgotten the shock sufficiently to continue testing my gift static grass applicator #ForScience.

So here are 4 test patches and 4 #CountBinface models (2 with, 2 without applicator)

+, W: weighted wire, negative
+: negative pole,
/ : no pole.
C: My time honoured sieve method as control

I dont see difference but might have to wear rubber glove for the models. The grass happily stuck to my hand and got EVERYWHERE.

#Hobbystreak day 783

#ForScience I decided to give a static grass applicator, which I was gifted by Secret Santa, a test run.

#Warmongers be warned, the results were shocking!

My wife said 'I'll be expecting loud swearing soon'.

Alt text holds opinions.

I found the charging wire was too light and didn't contact the mesh sufficiently. I weighted it and then tested it. Then I zapped myself HARD.

Reader, loud swearing ensued.

Put it away for the day.
