Off topic Saturday! Finally got back to active walking. Still far from my peak of 521 KM/month done back in 2024 but still good.

It's still cold in Sofia but trees said fk it, we're going to blossom now. So the city looks spectacular and smells like the best honey you've ever seen ☺️

Don't forget to touch grass or maybe some flowers too, dudes and dudettes!

Meanwhile, the first in decades crewed mission to fly around the Moon has been safely launched. No landing this time but still cool. Artemis II will fly around Earth now, then will orbit the Moon six times, and turn back home.

If you think you're useless, keep in mind that some cephalopods can mimic color pattern of their surroundings in near absolute darkness which is both cool and absolutely damn pointless.

Crazy Engineering story of Nissan getting around the rules by storing tons of energy in a 100 000 RPM flywheel.

Which they've had to wrap into carbon fibre and place into vacuum box, then simulate all racing tracks with the special software to make it actually usable and find the sweet spot between two energy sources.

Just met an adorable African gray (Psittacus) named Barry (but it's a girl). It's 17, lives in a tiny pet shop, talks, dances, all the stuff. The owner allows it to hang outside of the cage, it looks happy.

Another one lives in a cafe nearby, and a whole bunch of them lives in a local zoo as well. Sadly, one of the zoo grays is seemingly a home bird, so 20 crazy neighbours are screaming around it and it says "hello" to humans and suspiciously look around.

They are extremely social, sensitive, require tons of care, and most likely outlive their owners (they live up to 80 years). And way too many of them are being taken from nature to only end up as neglected or abandoned.

A custom indie team got into 24 hours race on Nürburgring. With slightly modified Renault / Dacha Logan.

It was not any fast, compared to other cars. But it finished the race, ended up not the last, and was extremely steady while turning.

Two moments became iconic: how racing cars lose the grip while following the Logan and the moment when much more powerful Mercedes wasted over a minute unable to bypass the tiny car.

Ollis Garage Racing barely made it to the event since they've had to modify the car but keep it under tons of regulations. Technically a group of friends fulfilled their lifetime dream.
