  1. Shame about the deadpan narration, but this #FlexiArch system is very elegant engineering.

    It is a clever new way of building pretty and durable #arch #bridges using a #flatpack system. (IKEA victims, relax: no screws or bolts involved).

    FlexiArch was invented by Prof #AdrianLong of #QUB, who was also the father-in-law of #NorthernIreland's Alliance Party leader #NaomiLong ... who is herself an engineer.

  6. 🧵 1/3: This latest @standupmaths video about tunnel height limit signs in the 🇬🇧 #UnitedKingdom is in the best kind of geekery / nerdery there is. Who knew that metric and imperial measurements do not have to be 1:1 convertible to the other? 🤷

  23. "Cathy's Clown" is a #popular #song, written by #DonEverly and recorded by #TheEverlyBrothers in 1960. The lyrics describe a man who has been wronged and publicly humiliated by his lover: "Here he comes / That's Cathy's clown". The #choruses are sung by brothers Don and Phil in their trademark #closeHarmony style, while Don sings the #bridges solo. "#CathysClown" is noted for its unorthodox structure, such as beginning on a chorus and having bridges but no #verses.

  25. Forgot to #HashTag this yesterday...

    0.1.beta of a track layout program for my WIP "it's all #Loops" #Train #Roguelite prototype... it's #2D (or rather a flat arrangement in a #3D world) at the moment but I may add some #Bridges and #Tunnels at a later stage for #Topological complexity and some inclines and maybe even embankments/cuttings for a more interesting terrain...
