  1. Another work errand took me in the direction of the ocean.

    Air temps: 17C

    Water temps: 18C

    A sea this calm with little wind is rare here. Swam, walked, swam again. The world is falling apart so shag it, I'm taking ocean time. I can work tonight. Rain in the forecast tomorrow.

  16. Why swimming in the Rhine is allowed in Switzerland but banned in Germany.

    Could a growing European push to reclaim urban waterways change that?

  19. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🪽🌊 Engineers at #MIT and #EPFL built FAAV, a flapping wing #robot that flies through air and swims #underwater using flexible membrane wings.

    The #design mimics how diving #birds move between fluids that differ 800 fold in density. The #research suggests that diving birds prioritize speed over #energy efficiency during underwater wing strokes.
