"The missing plays of Sophocles will turn up piece by piece, or be written again in another language. Ancient cures for diseases will reveal themselves once more. Mathematical discoveries glimpsed and lost to view will have their time again."
Anyway, here's my favorite passage in all of Tom Stoppard's work in what I think might be the greatest play written in the English language in the last century or so, not that everything has to be a competition, but one does like to make lists.
We shed as we pick up.

Glazing in watercolour. The first brush is clean water; the second, paint. Both are stroked very gently on.

Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity
Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

This video is one of my absolute favorites. I'm pointing this out not to diminish the cyclists in chicago (who are great) but these are likely learned tactics from each other (which is ALSO good). Sometimes I think some of the cynicism on here is b/c people aren't seeing the positive push backs
