Climate-conscious travelers are jumpstarting Europe’s sleeper trains
A growing number of climate-conscious Europeans want to give up flying in favor of long-haul trains, especially younger travelers. That has helped revive interest in sleeper trains, which had been on the edge of extinction. In the process, many are also discovering the romance of the rails. Governments and private companies alike are investing billions to launch new lines and refurbish existing train cars. However, many challenges prevent faster action. Booking tickets can be confusing, and ove…

Big Oil Clouded the Science on Extreme Weather. Now It Faces a Reckoning.
As more communities sue oil majors following climate disasters, a collection of evidence reveals the industry’s efforts to deny the link between extreme weather and climate change.

I wish I knew why backup connectivity that Just Worked for months broke only one client host following an OS update and concomitant reboots on the evil backup server from hell. Also, why did it ever work, i.e. why was my ugly hack that makes it work NOW not needed 2 weeks ago?
There are a mess of vlans and netmasks involved. Many physical interfaces. And I will probably find the answer somewhere in the update notes for

Viscous rebound of a quasi-2D cylinder on a solid wall
The purpose of the present study is to extend the simple concept of apparent coefficient of restitution, widely approached in the literature for the case of a single-contact-point between a sphere and a wall, to the case of bouncing whose complexity is increased due to the shape of the contacting object. Experiments are carried out with a finite-length cylinder, freely falling in a liquid at rest. Complex 3D motions of the cylinder with respect to the wall occur during bouncing, including mul…

#16 Cold (Fall 2023)
Feeling cold is increasingly a privilege in our warming world. Regions of the world known for temperate, moderate climates are becoming accustomed to erratic weather. Cooler areas of the globe are warming, and warmer areas becoming too hot to occupy.

Ah, my email client crashed. I was wondering why I was feeling so relaxed.
