I am returned from the Channel Islands! All in one piece and with a bit of a suntan after forgetting to put on my lotion one day. Very happy to be back in Scotland and reunited with my own bed and my computer ❤️

Off to visit my baby nephew for a few weeks in the sunny channel Islands. Not sure how my internet will be, so I am taking some maths with me to work on to pass the time. I'll try to check in if I can in any case, you guys are fun:)

I will be back though I promise! I love this place. Don't break it while I am away or I will sulk massively.

Yeah this shit hit me in the face with a dose of perspective. Even though we have come a long way we can't pretend the effects of slavery aren't just over the horizon if history.

NSFW Song. But, it is real.. 

This is a real song.

Real music- and I can't stop laughing.

@Nyoei @socialskeleton Just because I have an ass that is best described as "lush" doesn't mean some no-meat bonehead is right! :cry:

You fools. You think there's a limit to the shortness of jorts? The only limit is your VISION.

Those microbes are quite interesting too. They're called haloarchaea, and they catch solar energy using a protein called bacterorhodopsin. It's made from retinal, one of the molecules which your eyes use.

Thing is, bacteriorhodopsin works *completely* differently to chlorophyll, and haloarchaea don't capture carbon dioxide like plants do. It's an entirely different kind of photosynthesis!

Convergent evolution is really cool. I love how nature finds multiple ways to do things.

@freemo I'm afraid this is an artist's impression, pretty though it is.

This was Cassini's final view. I processed this version of the image myself.
