I've eaten at a lot of fish and chips places in England and Wales, and around the US. In the UK I like plaice, a kind of fish we don't get here on the west coast of the US.
For some reason, I believe that fish and chips are best consumed outside when the weather is nice, even a bit warm.
My favorite two fish and chips places are:
Scrumptious Fish and Chips - A food truck here in the Santa Cruz area. Their rockfish is especially good.
And the Sea Pal Cove in …

Despite being one of the ocean’s most extraordinary creatures, very little research has been carried out on sawfish in Sri Lanka. This gap in knowledge […]

A minimal wake-vortex model explains formation flight of flapping birds
Olivia Pomerenk, Kenneth S. Breuer
https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.22043 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2602.22043 https://arxiv.org/html/2602.22043
arXiv:2602.22043v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Collective patterns of motion emerge across biological taxa: insects swarm, fish school, and birds flock. In particular, large migratory birds form strikingly ordered V-shaped formations, which experiments and direct numerical simulations have demonstrated provide substantial energetic benefits during long-distance flight. However, the precise aerodynamic and morphological mechanisms underlying these benefits remain unclear. In this work, we develop a reduced-order model of the wake-vortex interactions between two flapping birds flying in tandem. The model retains essential unsteady flapping dynamics while remaining computationally tractable. By optimizing over a six-dimensional state space, which comprises the follower's three-dimensional relative position and three independent flapping parameters, we identify the energetically optimal leader-follower configuration of northern bald ibises. The predicted optimum agrees quantitatively with live-bird measurements. Because of its simplicity, the model allows for direct interrogation of the physical mechanisms responsible for this optimum. In particular, it isolates precisely how the follower's wing kinematics interact with the leader's wake to enhance aerodynamic efficiency. The model predicts an 11% reduction in total mechanical power for a follower in formation flight -- consistent with experimental estimates -- and shows that this saving arises from reductions in both induced and profile power, dominated by decreased profile power enabled primarily through reduced flapping amplitude and, secondarily, reduced upstroke flexion. These results provide a mechanistic explanation for the structure of V-formations and offer new insight into the aerodynamic principles governing collective flight.

#22 on our countdown is the 893 km La Grande River, which drains a modest watershed of 97,600 km2 in Quebec and flows westward into James Bay. In French, La Grande Rivière, and its original Cree name, Chisasibi, both mean "great river") and it is the second-longest river in the province. The river has been extensively developed as a source of hydroelectric power by Hydro-Québec, starting in 1974 a total of 8 hydroelectric dams have been built on the waterway. As a result of the development projects, the Cree people of the region lost parts of their traditional hunting and trapping territories. Organic mercury levels increased in the fish, which forms an important part of their diet, as the organic material is trapped by the rising waters in the new reservoirs.

Snow flies produce bursts of heat and proteins to avoid freezing, new study finds
In a new study, Northwestern University scientists explored how snow flies—small, wingless insects that crawl across snow to find mates and lay eggs—survive in freezing cold temperatures. They discovered this snow-dwelling fly uses a surprising combination of strategies: it generates its own body heat like a mammal and produces antifreeze proteins like an Arctic fish.

Collectively owning property is difficult because the law is not set up for that, but a church provides a clear legal framework to do so. Prisoners can be cut off from political literature, but the first amendment protects religious literature (which is why Nazis started a church to get Nazi shit inside of prisons... but that's a whole other story). While these legal protections are definitely not guaranteed (we all know how many fucks the state gives about the law), it is both easy to hide in the noise (there are a *lot* of churches) and to hide in other ways. After all, the ichthys (Jesus fish) was an appropriated pagan symbol.
And there is also still value in peeling off other religious groups by showing them that they are also in danger. "When your enemy is strong, divide them," after all.
