You Europeans are always complaining about #Europe. And I'm not saying Europe is perfect and deserves no criticism, but as an American I am often envious of your set of problems versus our set of problems. So some of you may roll your eyes at news like this but for me it is amazing and a glorious revelation

It's the perfect time for a stroll.

🚄 Berlin to Sanremo
This thread documents my journey home from #DWebCamp, exclusively via railway, expected to last 25 hours.
More specifically: yesterday I travelled back to Berlin from Alte Hölle, Wiesenburg (Mark) station; today from Warschauer Straße to Berlin Hauptbanhof, then to München Hauptbanhof, then overnight to Firenze Campo di Marte, then tomorrow to Genova Piazza Principe, and finally to Taggia Arma.
Most importantly, here is the playlist of this journey.

🇪🇺⚡🇺🇸 Fun fact for anyone who thinks US technology is superior to European:
- No ASML (NL) → no microchips, for ANYONE
- No Zeiss (DE) → no ASML machines
- No Nokia/Ericsson (FI/SE) → no 5G without Huawei
- No BioNTech (DE) → no Pfizer vaccines
- No Safran/Rolls-Royce engines (FR/UK) → US jets are grounded
- No Vestas (DK) → half of US wind farms stop spinning.
- No Siemens/Philips (DE/NL) → US hospitals lose MRI scanners.

McCulloch (2025) sequenced the species as part of the Darwin #TreeofLife Consortium. The #genome comprises 305.60 #megabases, mostly scaffolded into 6 chromosomal pseudomolecules. #Biodiversity
