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.

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!

UK ATMs are still good, they're everywhere and rarely charge for withdrawal. Bank ATMs don't charge fees if your card is from a different bank.

Just a tip if you've had your eBay account since before you were 18. Never update your date of birth on either your eBay or PayPal account such that you would have been under 18 when you made the account. I made that mistake and they banned that account, I had to make a new one.

Offworld Trading Company. Haven't played the game but it's a great sci-fi soundtrack by Christopher Tin of Civ IV fame.
