Twin adventurers are cleverly testing modern vs. historic gear. “If they went on an expedition, and Ross wore modern kit while Hugo wore historic replicas, any difference in performance…could be attributed solely to the gear, not genetics.” https://www.carryology.com/insights/how-the-turner-twins-are-mythbusting-modern-gear/

Spring is just around the corner! A white magnolia tree in bloom in the City of London.
@mullvadnet seen on the Elizabeth Line, London today.
This unique self-portrait, also known as “view from the left eye”, is the creation of Austrian physicist and philosopher Ernst Mach (famous for his work on supersonic fluid mechanics), who was born #onthisday in 1838.

Weird technical issue - audio CD plays ok in cheap stereo but plays / imports with terrible noisy static when trying to rip to my Mac using Apple SuperDrive. It’s a second hand CD but not in particularly poor condition - see comment about plays in stereo. (Edit to add - I would have thought it would either play or not play rather than rip a terrible version)
@TheBreadmonkey Spotted in my neighborhood recently - one of the most #GenX bumper stickers ever. Almost didn’t even notice it.
Happy Radio Day to all those who celebrate.
This just hit the mat thanks to Mike @ Transreal Fiction and @cstross it’s definitely queue-jumping the TBR pile.

At long last, Swords Without Master shall slip the bonds of Worlds Without Master, issue 3!
