To be honest, what I really want is more conversations about math here on Mathstodon. Will asking questions like this help?

I remember the good old days of sci.math and then sci.math.research. These days it seems hard to get that kind of interesting, mostly friendly math conversation online! MathOverflow doesn't seem to allow it. At times blogs have been great, but maybe less lately? Twitter sometimes came close, but now I'm pessimistic about that place. It may be up to us!

I learned that flights are generally faster going east due to jet streams. So.. is there a flight that's so long that you just go east both for the there and the return trip? It turns out yes, New York - Singapore is long enough that this saves time. https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/winter-winds-how-singapore-airlines-new-worlds-longest-flight-is-saving-time-and-fuel-by-flying-farther/ #aviation #flying #jetstream

Not much, but my urban gardening is growing salad greens and basil on the balcony. Unsure about when to move them inside. This is the post-summer batch of salad greens. #urbangardening #balconysaladgreens The climate is south Sweden, so there's not much to work with.
