“The researchers describe the bicycle as a kind of “lifestyle companion” for older adults—a tool that keeps them physically active, mentally sharp, socially connected, & confidently mobile. That combination appears to delay the need for long-term care, preserve independence,& ultimately extend life”

It is unfathomable that the USG lawyers would sign off on a no-survivors boat strike (no get of jail free card).

Christopher Brown’s passion for nature is reflected in his detailed graphite drawings.
His works are created with abundant pencil strokes that are scratched, smeared, and sanded, using bold, dark tones. His subjects include a wide range of landscapes, old barns, dogwoods, and snowy river gorges.

Picked up by a Raspishake seismometer in Germany 11 mins later.
Quite a big #earthquake with a magnitude of M6.0 about 60 northeast of Anchorage, #Alaska, a few minutes ago. Here's the seismic signal of my Raspishake seismometer 11 mins after origin time in Herne, Germany, which is 7300 km away from the epicenter. 🧪⚒️ #geology @raspishake.bsky.social
