A passenger train travelling from Kyiv to Warsaw
was hit by a Russian drone
two kilometres from the Polish border
in an attack that Ukraine’s foreign minister described as
“Putin’s terror knocking directly on the doors of the EU and Nato”.
Overnight attacks across Ukraine involving more than 450 Russian drones and missiles killed at least six people and injured more than 40.
Ukraine’s air force said it had intercepted 405 drones and four missiles.

If you're planning a train journey through Germany, it's best to reconsider. Delays and cancellations and overcrowded trains are rife, with only standing places avaulable, as the reservations you might have had are not valid on the later train going some 2,5 hours after the cancelled one you were booked on.
I hate to take the plane for such journeys through Europe, but this is the fourth time such a massive delay happens to me travelling on Deutsche Bahn.
End of rant.
My geolocation-targetting ads sure are messed up after travelling across Canada by land in the past 3 weeks.

Dunwich Heath and Minsmere where the wildfire has destroyed so much. These are photos from last summer.

Currently watching Spider Noir, on a whim, while travelling. It's... surprisingly good; Cage is great, chewing through every line, Brendan Gleeson absolutely killing it, and the rest of the cast is riveting. The writing is excellent, reminiscent of Andor-level. And it is gorgeously shot, the deep black and white a master class in lighting and blocking. Story is interesting, with twists that deepen the motivations of everyone.
No wonder it got cancelled 😩
There are many routes to choose from for crossing Poland from the Baltic Sea to parcours 2A.

I'm travelling so light on this trip that the only things left in the bag of cables (while I charge things overnight) are a hair tie, a mint, two USB adapters and the 2 spare AAA batteries.
.... I no longer have any devices that take batteries. The last were my clicker and my keyboard, and they are both rechargeable ones in their current incarnation. Guess I'm travelling even lighter on the next trip!
What up everyone! Been travelling with spotty access to the internet (and an unwillingness to be ripped for better access heh heh)
Today I asked Opus to look through 15 years of my Twitter archives and figure out which ones were tweets while I was travelling. It's discovered its own heuristics and correctly realized that I don't tweet more often while on vacation but I do tweet at different times than usual because of time zones. Now it's clustering tweet text based on what looks like travel discussion. It figured out all this without me prompting it.
(End result is rescuing my old "postcard" threads from long ago travel.)
This is my first time travelling long distance in a battery-electric coach: Utrecht to Berlin.
I'm excited for this trip - we'll need to stop at an HDV charging hub for a charge, great to see one in action.
Sam Reid did it again. A beautiful, soulful video about travelling around Italy.
And humorously eating Little Caesar's in Rome.

Sidewall effects on the onset of interfacial Holmboe waves in stratified exchange flows at high Schmidt number

Abstract: Predicting the onset of interfacial instabilities is central to understanding turbulent mixing in natural and engineered stratified shear flows. Here, we study the onset of travelling Holmboe waves in confined exchange flows along a slope. Earlier stratified inclined duct experiments have mapped this transition, and stability analyses based on measured or prescribed profiles have explained their emergence. However, a predictive criterion linking forcing, geometry, base flow, and wave onset was still lacking. We closed this gap with a long-duct, sharp-interface asymptotic theory for the three-dimensional laminar exchange flow, including the effects of sidewall friction. The resulting analytical solution naturally identifies a confinement-adjusted Froude number, $Fr^*$, which unifies the effects of forcing and confinement into a single measure of the effective laminar exchange flow. Using this solution to parameterise sidewall drag in a practical width-averaged model, we perform linear stability analyses and numerical simulations at high Schmidt number. Together, linear stability analysis, direct numerical simulations, and existing experiments across a range of duct widths show that wave onset is accurately predicted by an approximately constant critical value of $Fr^*$. Deviations arise only in very narrow ducts, where sidewalls influence instability not only by modifying the laminar exchange flow but also by directly damping perturbations and delaying wave onset. These findings provide a predictive criterion for wave onset, reconcile long-standing discrepancies among experimental configurations, and establish lateral confinement as a fundamental control on the transition from laminar exchange to wave-driven mixing in stratified shear flows.
