Cool photo!

Best of luck with the new med, I hope things keep getting better for you.

I spent way too long trying to work out if it was a scale model with the man there to demonstrate how it was used, or if the bust was a weird decorative part of the cannon.

Somehow bionic nipples weren't on my futurism bingo card.

Great pic! The light reflecting from the water is perfect. Summer Leys is such a great place for wading birds.

That's awesome! I'm so happy to see more of these beaver reintroductions going ahead.

Perhaps you could try friend-finding apps such as Bumble BFF? You're likely to find others there in a similar position to yourself. It also focuses on 1 on 1 which should be a little easier to manage with social anxiety.

Clubs are a good call. Look into societies at your university, find something that you're interested in or think you could be interested in. Societies are social in a way that seminars and other course activities are not. Don't worry if you don't "click" with anyone immediately, keep attending and do your best to engage in conversations.

I also recommend seeking out a university counsellor. Most universities will have them and their advice can be valuable.

I doubt this is AI. This looks right for a micro-CT angiograph.

The blood vessels will have X-ray opaque dye injected, so they stand out on the CT. You can then set a threshold in the visualization software to filter out other tissue. The software then uses an algorithm to apply some shading to the surfaces of the unfiltered tissue to create a 3D effect.

The red colouring is a choice of the user, it just colours darker parts red and fades out to transparency.

I enjoyed the book, but I'm not bothered about a TV adaptation. The clip makes it look a bit too somber.

Ah well, it's a little reassuring that this didn't just happen to me!
