Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

"Plant based food." Sorry, but plants belong in a pot in your living room window. We eat vegetables.

Similar to Chris - my electric car charger which tells me how many miles it thinks it's added rather than how many kWh. When I have it on the solar option charging from my house panels it doesn't know what my car is, so doesn't know how many miles it does to the kWh.

Space tourism. Yeah let's squander loads of resources so people can pretend they're astronauts for 3 minutes. Total waste of time and effort when there is so much shit to be fixed back on earth!!!!!!

Me: What are the stocks like on the two chemicals you'll need for those studies? Is it enough for the experiments you're going to run for A?
PersonSeniorEnoughToKnowBetter: I don't know
M: ok, well, their group should pay for anything that's needed, so check the stocks and ask the head if they need more. No, wait, ask S who is their lab manager and handles all the orders.
PSETKB: I don't know who does their orders and who they should talk to.
Me, more loudly: Ask S who is their lab manager and handles all the orders.
PSETKB: Oh I have a good idea, maybe S would know.

Both neighbours back from their holidays and have their windows wide open. I now have to try and work listening to crying, screaming children and, in some cases, parents as well.
