Re academic publishing - you know who you have to thank for our current ridiculous system? Hint - you definitely know who his daughter is. 90% of academics will send you the pre-print if you email them, as others have said there is no benefit to the academic that a subscription is bought.

kingturnip posted:Do you think anyone told Liz Truss that after Brexit, literally anyone outside the UK can produce and market Blue Stilton? The PDO of Stilton is very stupid. Not only can you not produce it in the town of Stilton, you also cannot produce it using unpasteurised milk (ie the way it was made for hundreds of years) because at the time the PDO was set all the remaining producers were using pasteurised.

It also bears repeating: something in the region of 70% of Japanese people are lactose intolerant. It's why cheese-flavoured food is rare there, they just have no taste for it because most people there can't eat it. This is like the metaphorical opposite of coals to Newcastle, with the same result.

Lungboy posted:Emailing the contact author is usually the easiest way to get a free copy, although even this is becoming less common now. Problem comes when you're looking for a paper that came out some time ago and the author has moved on - possibly out of academia. (Eg yours truly. I have 192 citations so far most for my 'first author' paper though these days they tend to be 'courtesy' citations as my main paper is 19 years old now and at least one person who took my research and built on it for his PhD is now a full professor - maybe I should have stayed in academia instead of heeding the call of mammon?). I have stuck all my stuff up online but you'd need to know what you're looking for.

JustaDamnFool posted:This weather is loving miserable. I refuse to believe that people live in countries that are hotter than this on a daily basis. Egypt for example is hotter but a lot less humid most of the time, though it has its moments. The humidity makes a huge difference because when it's very humid you can't sweat. Also, something I spotted when I first started visiting, was that all men wore cotton vests (UK vests, not US vests which are waistcoats for the benefit of any American readers) under their shirts which at first you would think would make you hotter. But working on the assumption that men in general don't do anything to inconvenience themselves and given that every man I saw had a vest, I tried it and it worked! The cotton vest tops (and other underwear) soak up the sweat and it slowly evaporates in the heat, far more comfortable if you find yourself sitting on vinyl bus seats or plastic office chairs for instance! .

Poppers are "legal" and usually sold as leather cleaner or room odouriser, the ban on actual amyl and the switch to iso nitrate was a separate thing that they blamed on amyl being damaging if you got it in your eyes, ignoring that iso loving melts flesh if you spill it on you and don't notice. Hopefully we can go back to amyl and I can stop importing from germany
