🚨 Misusing antibiotics can affect everyone.

#AntimicrobialResistance (#AMR) occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites no longer respond to medicines. Drug-resistant bacteria can spread and make infections harder to treat.

⚡📮Nice work @royal-mail.bsky.social, who have just announced the launch of a new fleet of over 100 micro electric vehicles, replacing 52 vans.

Better for the climate and for deliveries. This is exactly the kind of move we need to see for cities free of diesel vans!

With early darkness now arrived adding side lights to the tail light mast on the trailer seems like a good idea. Some red and white LEDs a bit of wire and solder and there it is. The white LEDs face forward to illuminate my hand signals etc.

Cyclotouring can lead to some beautiful moments. Like when my partner chooses to follow a death road of rocks and ruts route to the night stop and we take a break at an isolated pond with blue water and verdant mountains.

Two cyclotourists pushing their bikes along a stretch of the Old Turnpike in Vermont. We are one mountain north of RT4 just west of Killington. GO BACK" but being who we are we just kept going. Two miles of rocks and ruts 3 hours later pavement restored some speed to our travels. A pond with a Green Mountain in the background. A reward for traveling the 'Old Turnpike' aka the death road.

I’ll have to cost this out locally. Not sure how the Lab will take to it.

Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004.

Today, building a fence with solar can be cheaper than using wood.

idk who needs to hear this but the President of the United States of America is APPEALING a judges order forcing him to fully fund SNAP.
Yes — DJT is appealing a ruling telling him to NOT starve his own people. Let that simmer.

Two thoughts.

Republicans want you dead. Preferably at an American Airlines' gate.
Republicans can't fix things they just are expert at making worse for everyone else.

Usually the driver times it wrong. I end up stopped in the middle of thane, at the light, and they’re in the oncoming traffic lane. Makes my day.

I hang my head crying, tears falling on my top tube. I whimper, "I'm so owned" as I look up at the brake lights of the car that sped past me to get to the red light first.
