#NorthDakota is traditionally a conservative red state.
They FOFO....maybe they should have thought of the vital business and revenue that #Canadians bring to them before they voted in that crazed felon.
The only ones I feel remotely sorry for are the ones stuck in the state that didn't vote for #Felon 47, and are the blue minority.

There are three branchlines operated by CFL in the south, where these old Z2 electric units are still in use, although it looks like the phaseout already begun. 🚃 Last chance I guess. A bit weird being the only #crossborder passenger in what feels like ghost train

Combining #science at Trieste #synchrotron with a #crossborder #bicycle trip Italy-Slovenia with one Czech, one Italian, one Slovak and one Slovenian bicycle enthusiast. #Karst is blooming!
My longest trip with the #Brompton folding bicycle up to now (63 km), also with quite some climbing (735 m), and some gravel.

A lot of scientific equipment, like computers, tubes etc., inside synchrotron experimental hall, viewed from above.

Inside synchrotron storage ring with electron-current bending and focusing magnets. Some magnets are painted red, some green.

The $195T in 2024 cross-border payments is expected to hit $320T by 2032.

💵 Visa, PayPal, Coinbase, and Ripple are all betting big on stablecoins.
🔗 Stripe just acquired Bridge for $1.1B to expand its stablecoin reach.
🌍 Stablecoins are quickly becoming the backbone of global money movement.

Is this the moment where stablecoins go mainstream?

#China could lead by example & capture all her ethnic-Chinese #mafia & #Chinese #investors who wield control of the #scamfactories - repeat what #PRC govt did in Mae Sot during the 29 Feb 2024 operation. Otherwise Wang Yi's talk's just chatter in the wind. #ActionNotWords

Are you looking for some regional #mobility data from Europe on #NUTS 2 level?

The #MobiTwin project has published the description of the project data, and is looking for interested collaborators to study #RegionalEconomics #Migration #Commuting #SeasonalWork and #CrossBorder mobility.

The data contains mobility data for seven types of mobility across Europe, and will become fully open-access after the project, but it can be shared with collaborators now already 😉

🌐: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.14228376

Schematic of the data structure. The data contains information on the regional characteristics of NUTS 2 regions, seven types of mobilities between the NUTS 2 regions, survey conducted on reasons for regional mobility, and data for microsimulation models. The different sections of the data are linked by the NUTS 2 regional IDs of the NUTS 2 spatial layers.
