#de24 — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #de24, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Juxtaposing the moving "Library of Burned and Banned Books" (NS-Dokuzentrum Munich) with the Gutenberg press (Mainz). Those Nazis are gone but banners (and burners) very much remain, and they continue to fear the power of the word and image.
    #DE24

  2. I may have been wrong to state that Bavaria is the Texas of Germany. You can find Texas BBQ just about everywhere in the US (I believe), but it seems extremely hard to find obatzda anywhere else in Germany. #DE24

  3. I'm delighted how the Gutenberg Museum Mainz has gotten better and better over the years. They're comfortable enough with themselves to have a whole section on how East Asian moveable type predates Gutenberg.

    Is it a Cray? No, it's a Chinese type case, indexed by stroke. #DE24

  4. Seriously, Germans: it's been a terrific trip and, jokes aside, the Deutschland-Ticket is amazing. I'd gladly play 2x for it (to avoid being subsidized).

    Meanwhile, if you want to see trains working properly, come visit me on the US Northeast Corridor. <-;

  5. Okay, listen, Germans: you have some explaining to do.
    #DE24

  6. Graffiti in Regensburg a few centuries apart. (To be clear: I very much like both. The one on the right a bit more, actually.)
    #DE24

  7. This is *such* a good solution: instead of asking the customer for their name, just make one up. Your workers only need to be able to pronounce those; no need to ask for spelling; no worries about duplicates; and you can fit the names to the character of your business. #DE24

  8. Not an expert or anything, but fairly sure it doesn't work that way, Deutsche Bahn. (And no, I'm not going to try it and see whether they hold the train.) #DE24

  9. Twice see men go past wearing Patriots jerseys (in one case, TB12).

    Take a few seconds to understand why I feel disoriented.

    Realize it's because these are *German* men.

    (Whereas seeing men wearing Patriots jerseys in Providence is called Saturday morning.) #DE24

  10. We're lovin' this, right? (This appears to actually be a Citroën 2CV Charleston, released in 1980 to satisfy retrofans.) #DE24

  11. Good for educators to sit through a 30 min presentation (as I just did in a museum) in a language they only very lightly understand to get a whole new level of sympathy for students (-:. (And especially the ones who sit in the back for fear of being called on—like I did.) #DE24

  12. I love me a VERY dry Riesling, and I love Mainz because you can find a local winegrower whom you can ask for the driest thing they have on hand and they'll gladly and proudly serve you a white so dry, sharp, and steely that you'll cut yourself if you're not careful.

  13. A Brazilian, German, Indian, and Indian-American walk into a … seminar room, where they watch the USA play South Africa in cricket, via a Zoom share from the USA. Totally normal living-our-best-lives thing at for the 21st century. #DE24

  14. A city so nice they named it twice. (Thrice if you include the name of the state, so take *that*, New York.) #DE24

  15. I just took a public transit ride (in Strasbourg) from Winston Churchill to Wilson, in case you have any questions about 20th century French history… #DE24

  16. Smile! You're on candid camera! (Oh wait, does that violate GDPR?) #DE24

  17. My hotel has demanded that I not use the hotel WiFi to "download or spread any copyrighted material". Um wat. #DE24

  20. Some hiccups with my (re-coded) bot & "bot only" account (@ARC_Tracker_Bot) for today's #DECRA #DE24 announcement. Apologies that the bot-only account only just fired now after some running repairs.

  21. 🚨 #DECRA #DE24 announcement:

    ❗️Outcomes announced publicly for Discovery Early Career Researcher Award 2024❗️

    See ARC's RMS for list ➡️ rms.arc.gov.au/RMS/Report/Down

  22. For those asking, I've got no updates about when #DECRA #DE24 outcomes will be announced. My reasoning about why we might expect them any time now is 👇

    (Aside: All outcomes announcements this year were made between 11am and 12noon Canberra time. Such uniformity is unusual.)

  23. For those sweating on #DECRA #DE24 outcomes:

    Yes, I think it's quite possible that we'll see them any time from now on. See reasoning here👇

  24. #DECRA #DE24:

    I haven't heard of any Future Fellowship applicants who were NIT-picked* but _not_ funded.

    Obviously, we can't conclude that all NIT-picked DE24 apps will be funded. But chances are probably high; maybe >95%?

    *Asked to edit National Interest Test statement by ARC

  25. #DECRA #DE24:

    Outcomes may be as early as mid-to-late Aug, 2–3 weeks before ARC projection (13–26 Sep).

    Recent schemes were announced 2–3 weeks "early" incl #FT23 y'day (data➡️docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d)

    #DE24 NIT-picking was 3 wks after #FT23, so on track for outcomes in ~3 wks.

  26. #DECRA #DE24 NIT-picking has started.

    ARC started requesting edits to National Interest Test statements last Friday.

    Important points to remember👇
