How ssh got port 22 assigned!!

This weekend the #Ironman European Championship rolls into Frankfurt. Circa 4,000 athletes will aim to swim 3.8km, cycle 180km and then run a marathon. 🤦‍♂️ Today I did my volunteer duty helping with the registration. Sunday morning I’m up early to watch the start.

One of the most painful things to watch are the poor #Ironman medalists having to crawl up and down the podium to receive their medals 👏👏👏

Maybe the most important photo for modern biology: photo 51 by Rosalind Franklin, providing the key data to resolve the structure of DNA. #WorldPhotographyDay cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Some interesting research from earlier this month. The first use of aDNA in the identification on early Jamestown settlers. The research which combined genetic, archaeological and historical approaches identified a case of illegitimacy...

‘It enriches your mind in every way’: the fight to keep the UK learning German Honestly, you never know how useful learning a language will be. I did Tech Drawing rather than German at school , but here I am, living in Germany for the last two decades 😀 theguardian.com/education/arti…

OTD in 1988 the #MonstersOfRock Festival took place at Castle Donington. Iron Maiden were headlining, but many fans, including myself, were there to see Guns‘n‘Roses. During their set there was a crowd surge resulting in the death of two fans. RIP. Alan Dick & Landon Siggers.

Well that escalated quickly 😀 A local story… The police cautioned a 65 yo man for not keeping his dog on a leash. He started waving a gun around, so the police shot out the tyres of his RV. hessenschau.de/panorama/poliz…

My gran's twin brother, William Lambert (Royal Field Artillery, "A" Bty. 112th Bde.), is buried here. I'm thankful that some years ago I could visit his grave with my father. William's story can be found here: learnalittleeveryday.wordpress.com/2016/07/05/the…

Chelsea are off to FC Heidenheim. I checked with my wife about the area and have been reliably informed that: It’s a backwater. Even worse, they make German grammar mistakes, which is as bad as you can get 👺

It may come as a shock to many, however it needs to be said that #Oasis tickets going on sale is not that important in the global scale of things. Also, the dumb pile-ons by MPs like lan Byrne MP is pathetic. The only people “suffering” from this are well-off 40 somethings😀

The question that nobody seems to be asking is how a Beluga Whale just “accidentally” falls out of a 10th floor window 🤔

Things that the UK Prime Minister should be worried about: ✅ The NHS. ✅ the UK Economy and its amoebic growth. ✅ the security threat to the UK from Putin ✅ the UK‘s relationship with its close partners ✅ UK National Debt ❌ the price of #Oasis tickets 🤦‍♂️

JD Vance standing behind bullet proof glass and protected night and day by some of the best trained armed guards in the world telling American parents that their children being shot and killed is a fact of life they will have to live with.

Well I’m glad I managed to translate #Schnitzel into German 🥳

Happy Seven of Nine Day, kids. Put on ya party hats and celebrate with this Queen. 👑

I doubt you’ll ever get a more “Up-North” tweet than this 😀
