Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I do like SOME of their music. My daughter's garage band does mostly originals, but they do a version of "1979" that is pretty good.

What I learned today on Threads is that bananas have no bones but peaches have stones.

OK, time to ride. Black bike or white bike? It's a conundrum. Yin or Yang?

edit: Yin gets the call.

Liked. I know Flat Stanley is pretty old, but was not a thing in my universe when I was growing up. I became aware through my kids.

check out this bacteriophage I imaged a few yrs ago using stain EM (NS-TEM). The structure isn't as preserved as the one you shared, which to me looks like it may be cryo or "in-situ" TEM. Mine is also obv much lower in magnification

T4 phage are especially photogenic. I think it's the size and fairly rigid structure.

Today I learned about Rocket Lab, an Australian company that launches rockets into space.

They recently launched a scramjet aircraft. Which is something, for sure, but what caught my eye was the name they gave to the mission. It could be the most Australian name ever:
