This snek stuck its head out from beneath the leaves and wants to know if it's spring already. Our answer is "complicated".
The part of Poland we live in is about two weeks, climatewise, behind the rest of the country. It's not winter, but not yet really spring. We expect spring to come tomorrow, or the day after.
The #snake is Natrix natrix, European grass snake. The green plant in the upper left corner is Oxalis acetosella, wood sorrell, which was once used to make soups, salads, and refreshing drinks. We just pluck it and chew it and hope foxes didn't pee on it.
One nice thing about our #RuralBroadband installations in a generally flat area – you get to climb high and see sights.

Lovely.
W domu rodzinnym, w którym już w ogóle nie bywam, jest kanapa, na której czesto siedział pewien późniejszy święty. Był nawet pomysł, by głęboko wierzącym katolikom pozwalać na niej na chwilę usiąść, za jedyne 30 euro. A za 100 euro gołym zadkiem.

An incandescent lamp with 170 lm/W?! Check out this paper recently published in Science Advances: https://www.science.org/doi/full/10.1126/sciadv.adf3737
The idea is that the light source recycles (!!) the infrared light so that you get white incandescent light with very low IR emission. Wild.
