A kids paper labeled "my dad" at the top. In a child's scrawled handwriting, it says " the important thing about my dad is he lets me watch shows." It also mentions something barely legible about groups hugs and his sister, but then it reiterates about watching shows.

Good afternoon #BikeNYC #BikeTooter. Gorgeous day out there, make sure you've got your official #NYC garbage bin before the June 1st deadline!

A blue midtail cargo bike (a Yuba Kombi with a battery and custom (Bafang BBS02) motor. Attached to the rear is a 45gal black garbage bin. Behind the bike, there's the world's shittiest bike rack, and the generic stone wall and windows of a big box hardware store.
An overhead shot of me over the bike. White-ish guy with a blue shirt, white helmet, glasses, and stubble. Behind me is the rear rack of the bike (and a pannier), dwarfed by the big garbage bin.
Another side view of the cargo bike, from the opposite side. A black pannier is attached to the rear rack, which has a ring (for kids to hold onto ) and a little black pad (for kid butts). A bungee is hooked between the metal bar of the garbage bin and the bottom of the bike, and another cord goes around the outside of the bin. The bin reads "trash". Bhine the bike, a red brick wall and foliage.
Front/side view of the bike, which is parked w/ the kickstand up. There's a black battery nestled between the down front tubes, a flat squat pannier (containing the garbage bin wheels and misc other stuff), and the bin on this side reads "New York City Dept Of Sanitation"

A discrete Boltzmann model with state-dependent power-law relaxation time for nonequilibrium transport in compressible flows
Demei Li, Zhongyi He, Huilin Lai, Yanbiao Gan, Hailong Liu, Pengfei Lin
arxiv.org/abs/2605.18216 arxiv.org/pdf/2605.18216 arxiv.org/html/2605.18216
arXiv:2605.18216v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Thermodynamic nonequilibrium effects play a central role in momentum and energy transport in compressible flows. In conventional BGK kinetic models, the relaxation time $\tau$ is taken as a constant, which neglects the dependence of the relaxation process on local macroscopic states. To overcome this limitation, we develop a discrete Boltzmann model with a density- and temperature-dependent power-law relaxation time, termed DTRT-DBM, in which $\tau=\tau_0(\rho/\rho_0)^a(T/T_0)^b$. This formulation extends the discrete Boltzmann framework to flows with spatially varying nonequilibrium intensity. The model is validated by the Sod shock tube and by analytical solutions for viscous stress and heat flux, demonstrating accurate recovery of both macroscopic wave structures and nonequilibrium quantities across shock waves, rarefaction waves, and contact discontinuities. On this basis, phase diagrams of viscous stress and heat flux are constructed to examine how these quantities depend on the power-law exponents $a$ and $b$. The extrema of these quantities depend exponentially on the model parameters and exhibit regime-dependent behaviour. The roles of $a$ and $b$ are not symmetric: the nonequilibrium response is more sensitive to $a$ when density gradients dominate, but more sensitive to $b$ when temperature gradients dominate. Within the parameter range and flow configurations examined here, higher-order viscous stress increases the growth rate of the total viscous-stress extremum, whereas higher-order heat flux reduces the growth rate of the total heat-flux extremum. These results show that the proposed model can capture different higher-order nonequilibrium responses in compressible flows and provides a framework for the modelling and analysis of multiscale nonequilibrium processes.

Added Power Grips (pedal straps) to my wife's #Brompton. Not going to say it's my nicest work, but I'm hopeful that it'll hold. I only drilled holes through the plastic reflectors; the metal is all intact. I can change that later if needed. #BikeTooter

The right side pedal. The red Brompton is folded up (doesn't even really look like a bike), but the right crank has a normal-looking pedal with a black strap on it. The metal hardware attachment has screws going through the orange plastic reflector of the pedal. The bike's on a white rug w/ black line pattern.
The opposite side of that same right pedal. You have a better view of the opposite side of the orange reflector, with nuts and washers attached to the bolts that go through it. The red folding bike it's attached to is just a jumble of stem, wheel, drivetrain, etc.
The left-side pedal (and behind it, the brompton logo on the red frame). The pedal is folded up so that it is parallel to the crank arm. The orange reflector is missing from the exposed side of the pedal. Of the two screws that held the reflector in, one is missing (just an empty screw hole), and the other is screwed into the end of the black Power Grip strap.
The other side of the left pedal. This time the pedal is unfolded (so it's perpendicular to the crank arm), and the plastic grey reflector mount is installed but only one side is screwed in. The orange reflector is actually missing, and underneath you can see the silver Power Grips attachment hardware. Though normally you'd have two screws holding the attachment hardware in, there's only one screw there; the grey reflector mount is on top of it, pinching it down to hold it in place. Essentially…

Two small new prints from this afternoon, this time not Kallitype but contact printing on silver chloride FB paper, developed with Adox MCC. The increase in depth and detail is just wonderful and the feel of the final results an instant throwback to my early darkroom adventures ~40 years ago... 😍
The pictures are of two of my favorite places in recent years. Larger prints will be available for purchase in September.

Phone capture of two small B&W prints with black border, depicting beautiful alpine mountain landscapes. The top image shows a path in a high alpine valley leading into the distance past a small lake, surrounded by steep rock faces. Moody dark clouds forming. The bottom image shows a large boulder within a group of swiss pines (also growing on top) in a talus field. Further in the distance the glaciated peaks of the Bernina range in bright sunshine.

Just got confirmation that I will be documenting and helping with some maintenance works at Breslauer Hütte, before the main season starts. This hut, built in 1882, is one of the oldest high-alpine mountain huts in the eastern Alps, and located just below Wildspitze (3768m), Tyrol's highest mountain.
The hut belongs to the Breslau section of the Alpenverein (now based in Stuttgart) and it's their upcoming 150th anniversary next year. Aside from the repair work, for me it's a long await…

A rear (bicycle) drop-out, with a hand next to it. In the hand, a washer and a very rusty bolt that has a clean silver shear where it has broken in half. In the bike frame, there's a clean bolt (attached to a rack strut) and a bump next to it (with a lot of dirt) that is the other half of the broken bolt.

#QueensZoo needs to ditch these awful bike racks and install staple racks. This same amount of space could fit at least a dozen bikes, but the "wheel bender" rack is just space inefficient.
#NYCParksDepartment

A wooded area next to a fence (next to the Queens Zoo entrance). A long wheel-bender bike rack, maybe 12ft long, with cobblestone underneath. Two cargo bikes (mid-tail or longtail) are parked on either end of the rack, basically the only usable spots on the rack. Kid seats are installed on the rear of both bikes.
Same rack with the two cargo bikes locked, but now there's a *third* cargo bike (my blue Yuba Kombi) attached to it. My bike is locked in the middle, and I have a smaller kids' bike attached to my bike, so I'm literally taking up THE ENTIRE SIDE of the bike rack. The smaller bike is attached to my rear rack by its front wheel, with the rear wheel of the kids' bike on the ground.

A tuxedo cat asleep (lying sideways) on top of a white fuzzy window sill cat perch. She takes up only half the perch. Next to her, a thin white cable cover about 18in long (just the open channel itself, not the base that mounts to the wall) is also on the perch. The way she's laying, facing towards the camera, with her front paws/legs over the cable cover, it looks as if she's spooning with it; she's big spoon, the cable cover is small spoon.
