New review: Taking Flight is an entertaining if somewhat uneven book that unapologetically marvels at the many variations of animal flight that have evolved.

Bald Eagle in United States of America

New review: On the Wing is an excellent, factual primer on the evolution of flight that helpfully assumes little background knowledge.

Sometimes vintage/antique finds come in stages. I found this unusual paddle and knew I wanted to make it into an amaro flight sampler. This meant searching for small, low glasses with a large foot. They aren't easy to find. Most of these type of glasses have a small foot. It's also hard to find them with unchipped rims.
Today I found the perfect set, in pristine condition. #amaro #cocktails #vintage #antique #flight #glass #wood

I can't really complain about the functionality of my brain synapses. It's just that with languages, they don't work the way I want them to. This also applies to programming languages – unfortunately.
My upcoming project requires data output. Of course, I'm familiar with the combination of #PHP and #MySQL, without being able to create both of them. I'm concerned about the how, since I won't be using any of the common monsters (WordPress, Drupal, etc.). I've heard of #frameworks and read various things about them, but – this is where it gets embarrassing – I just don't understand how to use them. However, I have a feeling they can help me [1]. Does anyone have any ideas how I can overcome my lack of understanding? #Linux #Programming #Database #json

Ich kann mich wahrlich nicht über die Funktionalität meiner Gehirnsynapsen beschweren. Nur bei Sprachen wollen sie nicht so, wie ich es mir wünsche. Das gilt auch für Programmiersprachen – leider.
Für mein kommendes Projekt sollen Daten ausgegeben werden. Natürlich ist mir die Kombination #php und #mySQL bekannt, ohne beides selbst erstellen zu können. Mir geht es um das wie, da ich keines der verbreiteten Monster (Wordpress, Drupal usw.) einsetzen werde. Ich habe schon von #Frameworks gehört und diverses dazu gelesen, aber – jetzt wird es peinlich – ich kapiere einfach nicht, wie sie anzuwenden sind. Jedoch ahne ich, dass sie mir helfen können [1]. Hat jemand eine Idee, wie ich meine Begriffsstutzigkeit überwinden könnte? #Linux #Programmierung #Datenbank #json

Never have I received so many invitations from #PR agencies to, please, attend a #conference in the US. #Flight and #hotel paid for.
This tells me: I am not the only #journalist who is not #traveling to the #US at this time.
“Crane in Sunrise Light” — A lesser sandhill crane flies into the sunrise light, Central Valley.
Several things had to come together for this photograph of a lesser sandhill crane to work. Obviously, the bird had to fly above me at a relatively low height. That’s not as simple as it sounds, as cranes usually divert to avoid flying over people. The light was also special — it was the warmly colored light just after sunrise, when the sun is low enough to illuminate the underside of the bird. On top of that, the bird was flying toward the sun, so the light hits it almost head-on, while appears as side light from the camera position…continues: https://gdanmitchell.com/2025/03/05/crane-in-sunrise-light/
