Africa is bigger than China, the US, Eastern Europe & India combined.

*EVERY* map projection is a compromise.
The usual Mercator is angle-true, thus great for navigating with clock and sextant. It was never intended to be area-true.
Other map projections are true to distances, xor true to form, xor true to area - or a compromise with other constraints.
e.g. radio operators use radial projections centered on their place - great for rotating a directional antenna, useless for pretty much anything else.
Choose your map for your purpose.

by Roberto — Phage-bacteria population dynamics can be remarkably complex. This is reflected in the natural history of both; new phage defense systems in bacteria and anti-defense systems in phage seem to be discovered daily. Behind these intricate strategies to help in the reproductive success of each lies the basic problem of any predator-prey relationship.

I was young, maybe 12 years old. My dad had a computer for work, and internet was just being rolled out to most people in rural Ireland.
I copied some HTML source code from some other site and started tinkering with it, and made a website about music. I got frustrated when I couldn't figure out how to get it online. It was basic HTML and I had no idea how to put in images or anything like that.
I remember feeling like I was doing something that could get me in trouble.

I can't remember if I followed any guide. I don't think I did.
I had taken some books out from the library about making websites, but I found them very confusing and think I just somehow figured it out on the computer.
In those days, there never seemed any limit to what I could do with a computer if I just kept mucking about. These days I think I rely too much on online forums or guides, although that also speeds things up a lot.
'“I’m not an artist; I can’t draw anything else,” she said in a recent interview with Quanta. It was “a lot of draw and erase, draw and erase, draw and erase.” After a year of trial and error, she homed in on elegant sheets and looping ribbons to represent atomic structures. These drawings, which first appeared in the journal Advances in Protein Chemistry in 1981, became known as ribbon diagrams.'

Proteins are often visualized as cascades of curled ribbons and twisted strings, which both reveal and conceal the mess of atoms that make up these impossibly complex molecules.Quanta Magazine

A judge has forced Elon Musk to disclose who helped him buy Twitter.
And to no one's surprise: Two rich Russians from Putin's inner circle were part of the deal. Their names are Petr Aven and Vadim Moshkovich, and allegedly they are related to companies on the list.
And clearly, EU parliamentarian Guy Verhofstadt is not having it.

Obviously, indirect Russian relations in itself is not proof of Russian influence.

A few were down like one beautiful pink dahlia, but for the most part, the flowers survived.
Our world is very small now, but I do believe we get just as much enjoyment from the flowers we grow ourselves as we would seeing them anywhere else in the universe.
We all found comfort in the fact that most of our flowers weathered the storm.
Now, off to surprise my husband. Every day, he requests bacon and eggs for breakfast and gets something approved on his diet instead, but today, he gets the real deal.
He will be so excited.
