We have a new health and safety thermometer in our office
currently it is 26 degrees Centigrade or 80 degrees fahrenheight.

Is it just me or is that ridiculously hot?

Most strains of yeast can still operate effectively at 26 degrees C.

Wiggy was in a queue behind a guy at the pharmacy who was describing in detail his wife's thrush
The guy had no shame whatsoever, Wiggy was trying to look anywhere else that he could.

Not for the centre of a star

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 8 Jun 2010, 15:06, Reply)

The center of the sun is only 15 million Kelvin
that's miles off 10 billion.
(PsychoChomp, Tue 8 Jun 2010, 15:07, Reply)

And the corona is a couple of million Kelvin
While the chromosphere beneath it is only about 6000K!

MADNESS, THAT.

Positively balmy!

You don't have to be mad to measure the temperature of a star.
BUT IT HELPS
(PsychoChomp, Tue 8 Jun 2010, 15:11, Reply)

Not madness, the corona is not very dense, so though hot, there is not loads of energy
The chromosphere is much denser in comparison, so has loads of energy, all at a lower temperature.

I remember reading it in one of my science books when younger
Involving the games teacher telling everyone to stop complaining, it was 30 degrees outside. It then explained that 30 degrees C would be a nice hot summer day, and 30 degrees Kelvin would involve the air lying on the ground in frozen chunks.

What's that cupped in your hand? Such a promising start as a biologist. (Mind you, I was determined to be a palaeontologist at that age and look where I ended up!)

A dissected heart
Liver and lungs are on the table.

My father was convinced I was going to be a scientist :( I only went to school half days in LA, so spent the other half reading and doing science experiments. Then it all went wrong when I realised I was fairly good at Latin.

I think I'm between 7 and 9 in that photo, I can't remember.
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Tue 8 Jun 2010, 15:38, Reply)

My father is still convinced I'm going to be a scientist.
See, if you'd stuck with the biology, you'd have had to learn a bit of Greek and Latin for that. Probably not enough to satisfy your curiosity, mind - and certainly nothing on the same level as the Catullus.

(Haven't cooked heart or liver for ages now...getting hungry thinking about it.)

I've had scientific and mathematical conversations with my dad before
We'll sit down and discuss stuff. He taught me about imaginary numbers when I was 13, and integration when I was around 15.
I just enjoy the problem-solving feeling of translation. You have the component parts before you, you have to identify them all and their function. there are sometimes ambiguities, which makes it fun. Sometimes there are things misisng, and sometimes it's just really hard. But it's fun.

Yep an office, the aircon ducts are in teh corners of the open plan office
they then built glass meeting rooms in the corners, so we effectively have 4 walk in fridges on every floor.

But you're right, for an office, here in England, it's hot. In theory you have to be between 21 and 23, which I find freezing cold.

I've forced myself not to make a humourous counter-example to this as it will come across as a character assassination and you're a nice person who doesn't deserve that. But might I make the observation that you spend a hell of a lot of time complaining here about the same list of subjects (body shape/image, relationships, TRL) in a way that doesn't do you any good?
