  1. @roomaroo @Edent On #Eurostar, you just head to the on-board cafe. They sell both the #Paris cardboard #Navigo preloaded with 2 metro trips at cost plus about €2 fee, and #London plastic Visitor #Oyster cards at what seems to be a usual high fee of £10.50. They really should put this on the announcements more clearly but I wonder if they couldn't cope with how many people would want to avoid the awful ticket offices in both cities!

  6. @edavies @theolodian @Edent well, the 5yo would travel free with an adult in #London on buses, trams, tube, DLR, overground, Elizabeth Line and some rail services. The 12yo can get a Zip Oyster if you buy ahead, or an Oyster smartcard with "Young Visitor" discount set for two weeks at a time, but it's often a pain in the neck to visit one of the 16 stations with a #TfL office or centre to set it, and it takes a while to outweigh the £10 charge for a new #Oyster card. It really should be simpler.

  11. Atardecer en la zona de Westminster y el Big Ben oteando el #LondonEye Todo con estupenda temperatura, evaporada ya la ola de calor. Es muy aconsejable comprar la #Oyster de 7 días para trotar de bus en bus y metro a metro sin arruinarse #Londres #VacacionesVerano2026

  12. Aquaculture press release: Gov. Hochul asks for federal help. In an
    #oyster shell, the prolonged cold last winter froze bays and harbors resulting in big #shellfish losses. Producers needing relief are small, local businesses.

    How do #animals #aggregate?#Mites can find each other based on #pheromones, while #sight is important for herd-forming #mammals. In #marine #habitats, #hearing plays a major role. D.McAfee et al.(2022) showed that #oyster #larvae react to the #soundscape of a healthy #reef via #statocysts in front of their bodies, thus finding their adult conspecifics for #reefformation. Reef formation can be artificially #stimulated via artificial #soundwaves.
