Today I learned that #spiders can use electric fields to propel their silk strands through the air, allowing for longer flights than wind alone would provide.
I was stunned and amazed.
And then I remembered that spiders have been evolving for more than three-hundred million years. Their super-powers should come as no surprise to anyone.
@iamdtms That's beside the point, and I'll start worrying about it if it becomes anything other than a fever dream some random account on twitter made up to boost their popularity or something.
The important part is that you are spreading this made up crap, helping them. Even the article itself disparages the claim. Check your sources, instead of mindlessly propagating misinformation.
Which was one of the more amusing slips I’ve heard during a Q&A session at JAXA, and left me wondering what crazy conspiracy theory I’d just walked into 😂
(What was actually meant was “do you believe there’s water on the Moon”, swiftly corrected but not before the whole room had collapsed with laughter.)
Just back from a short run. 800m hillrepeats with 60eg. The tricky part was the 32°C (fels supposedly like 37°C) and the 75% humidity. Now trying to cool down, literally.
Photos from yesterday.
Zurück von eine kurzen Lauf. 800m Bergaufläufe mit 60Hm. Das knifflige war die Temparatur von 32°C (soll sich wie 37°C anfühlen) und die 75% Luftfeuchtigkeit. Versuche mich jetzt abzukühlen, im wahrsten Sinne.

@WTL@JustBrogrammer My "I don't wanna" goes away the moment I start consciously moving through the house, picking the running clothes, water bottle, etc.
@hankg@miriamrobern For me, the second run after a longer break is always the hardest. I don't know what it is, maybe it's psychological, maybe I feel cocky and already regaining form after the first run, but the second run always sucker-punches me. :)
After yesterday's windy and rainy 20km #run, we continued today with another 20km in lower altitude and fairer weather. Just as beautiful, and just as fun. First a climb on a hillside covered with some kind of white orchids, then across wild pastures into a forest. Lot of free-roaming cows, at some points there were so many that they blocked the entire path and sides, so we had problems passing through (their sharp horns can be scary up close). #Sardinia is very pretty for #running or #hiking.
Good morning, #Fediverse! Had a relaxed 6.66k run (🤘🏻😉🤘🏻) to start the day. And bumped into one of my favorite neighbors, Oso (bear) a sweet Pyrenean Mountain Dog who’s a veritable walking teddy bear 😍
Today was the last run of the first training block. We went up on Montaña Negra, an old dormant volcano. The area around it is unreal, a mix of volcanic wasteland and light pine forests. All the trails are prettily lined with small stones, and very runnable. We also practiced fast downhills among volcanic rubble while juggling pinecones and other distracting shenanigans, all to get the mind occupied so that the legs and eyes can take care of safe passage by themselves.
@badlogic Reminds me a lot of fibre channel SAN diagrams between disk arrays with multiple controllers on one side, SAN switches in the middle, and servers with multiple FC adapters on the other side. Each disk visible over 8, sometimes even 16 redundant paths!
