    Phew. Wool arrived just in time! But wow, the dye lot for the blue-green (Watery) is *very* different 8 years later… https://t.co/Znfs0raQYr


    @darkosubotica I believe you Berlin weirdoes call them pfannkuchen. 😛


    Knitting with Kris: Time to join up the shoulders of Orkney and try it on so Sleeve Decisions can be made! 🧶 https://t.co/SGy8OKVXiF https://t.co/Ao5XeflYTz


    To sleeve or not to sleeve… That is the question. 🤔🧶 https://t.co/fBelTH0tSH


    @hoegertn @darkosubotica In Bayern they’re krapfen!


    Homemade Korean bing bread (with potatoes, bacon, cheese), sour cream butter, and zucchini side dish. (I let the bread get a little too dark, but it was still tasty!) https://t.co/cp5cCagOD9


    I have devolved to reading fanfic in which a Slanket is a major plot point. (Putting that $100K degree to good use…)

    @Amys_Kapers @troyhunt Ours was a Daikin but didn’t have that wall unit, just a remote control. @the_snook used LIRC + Raspberry Pi + IR blaster sitting across the room. Original version had a webhook that I built an Alexa Skill for, but then he integrated directly with Home Assistant.


    @MichelePlayfair @Amys_Kapers @damovisa Um… actually I kind of like that ball of yarn. As a knitter, I appreciate it as an objet d’art. (I wouldn’t drop $17K on one, mind you.)


    @darkosubotica This is why I have a “Good Stuff” file with your name on it! 🙂

    @testobsessed @AndrewADavidson Likewise!


    These are not helpful release notes, @joinClubhouse. And when I click the link in the app, I just see a barrier. 🤨 https://t.co/H6pl3d3Jbo

    RT @mavi888uy: Today is the International #WomenInScienceDay.
    We need girls to feel empowered to come to the STEM careers.

    What you are…


    @mavi888uy Love this thread. I am the annoying aunt who buys all of my nieces science gifts and tries to encourage them in that direction. 😂


    @marksbirch Pretty sure it was this exact one… 😍 https://t.co/cLCtKWMkxF


    @darkosubotica @GunnarGrosch I just… want that keyboard, to use as my keyboard. What modern keyboard feels the closest to that???


    @GunnarGrosch @darkosubotica White keyboards always get grimy though…


    @GunnarGrosch @darkosubotica OOH. This is relevant to my interests. ❤️ Thank you!


    My favourite scientist this year (and every year) is @emd3737, microbiologist and Epidemic Intelligence Service Officer at the CDC. Not only does her work help the world, she helped me pass freshman Biology at @NotreDame and once nearly burnt our dorm room down. ❤️👩‍🔬 https://t.co/QcOyDFSzGx


    Today is Weiberfastnacht (aka Fat Thursday), the start of Fasching (Carnival) week in Munich. Normally there’d be parties and women dressed up in costume chopping off men’s neckties and stealing kisses (yes, really!), but instead this is one more thing Covid has ruined this year.


    HOWEVER – the traditional food for Weiberfastnacht is “krapfen” (aka berliners or jelly doughnuts), and that we can do. I went out on a Krapfen Mission today, and they do not disappoint. 🍩❤️ https://t.co/pHnIAOV0Up
