I just had to add the gravy hashtag to my filters. This timeline is unlivable.
@katykaty *spit take*
I put a roast in the slow cooker this morning, which means I am being tortured with delicious food smells all day. 
I set up a desk area so I can "work" outside this summer.

On two adjacent rocks I found this Hidden Goldspeck (Candelaria aurella) lichen.
It's interesting how this lichen only spreads out on one of the rocks in straight lines.
It is probably a matter of different layers of rock, of which I unfortunately understand nothing.
Does anyone know anything about this?

@nasamuffin I've read a lot of Earthsea, but I can't recall reading Tehanu. I should.

Students from the University of Manchester's Physics Society have constructed a 30,500-piece LEGO model of the iconic Lovell Telescope at Jodrell Bank. Including -

"... producing a 4,000-page instruction manual..." 🤯

@nasamuffin It'd look better than what's there.
I want to replace the light fixture in my bathroom because it is hella ugly, but I am totally overwhelmed by all the choices.

@Natasha_Jay Show that you‘re a couple of nerds without telling anybody… ;-) Great work, no wonder they look happy!
@Natasha_Jay Will the set cost more or less than the real thing? 😜
@justme @Natasha_Jay
Going by the price per brick of the Lego Eiffel tower, I'd guess about 2 250 €.
So... yeah. Not getting one.
@Natasha_Jay
If I had the room at home, I would want it badly ...
@flore
@Natasha_Jay cracking build guys
@Natasha_Jay My photo of the real thing...
@Natasha_Jay Hopefully they share the manual and a part list.
My guess is around 6.000 EUR for the 30.500 pieces (~ 20 Cent per piece).
@srevilo @Natasha_Jay you can purchase the bricks in China, as the patent is expired.
@Natasha_Jay do they also sell the set? 😍
@Natasha_Jay
Available in your local toy shop… when? 😉
@Natasha_Jay Several PhDs should be rubber stamped just on the basis of this project honestly!
@Natasha_Jay @Nickiquote It’s missing a Tom Baker minifig though.
