Perhaps easier to identify 756x2 nominees for a one way trip to Pluto!

I did a bit of research on LHR capacity: 10-12% is UK domestic. 35% is transit. Ban mainland domestic flights, tax transit, frequent flyer tax. Polluter pays. And don’t expand LHR.

Instinct tells me that the short-haul distance would be much smaller, therefore more flights per person. My Eurocentric view thinks of all those business travellers hopping between London / Paris / Frankfurt. London-Paris is 350km. Busiest globally: 14.2m people flew Seoul-Jeju for 450km.

Agree completely. The outcome we want is a liveable planet and more equal distribution of wealth (cf growth). But in the meantime the narrative that growth and sustainability are diametrically opposed is not helping the cause.

I’m picturing a distillation setup to create different water mineral concentrations, then a series of rolls baked together to create a nice gradient of experimental results.

They would say it’s a false dichotomy

I wonder how much this overlaps with the 27% who claim they could qualify for the olympics?!

The nearby rabies prevention sign warning not to bring animals ashore always makes me laugh, imagining exotic creatures choosing to immigrate at Teddington

Fascinating video! How risky is it for Remchukov to publish this?

Could be a smart move when it comes to whisky tariffs. And I'm sure the locals will bring placards to give Trump the welcome he deserves.

Amazing to see in the wild. I was lucky to see (and not smell) Kew’s Titan flowering this summer.

Good news, but @richmondcouncil.bsky.social must address pricing. It is crazy that a bike hangar space is more expensive than a car parking permit.

"The Hans Commission [to investigate scientific claims] consisted of a veterinarian, a circus manager, a cavalry officer, a number of schoolteachers, and the director of the Berlin zoological gardens."
This is how all panels and committees ought to be composed.

This is why I’m always in awe of commentators who can pick riders out from the heli shots. 😵‍💫 Good luck!

@annamacb.bsky.social and @writebikerepeat.bsky.social and @hannah-walker.bsky.social are excellent on all things pro cycling and would be great additions to your starter pack
