If you're punching with you fist, you are probably punching wrong.

Amazed to see this. New old house. Used oven for first time. Some sort of stench and black gunk dripping from top heat shield. Gas stove. Investigate. Pull out pieces of a gun. Glock or something. Previous owner stops by for mail (unusual situation). I had over the melted pieces, "you forget something in the oven?" "Oh shit. No problem, I can fix it." "uh.. Okaaaaay... "

After a month of neglect my garden is compete chaos. I am (more-or-less) fine with this. It is better to have grown and lost, than to have never grown at all. As they say. Or something like that.

As long as the backdoor is licenced GPL what's the problem?

Been meaning for years to harvest some seeds from a big patch of nettles growing not far from here on a country (canada) roadside. Then this spring someone decided to cut all the grass and weeds back along this road... the nettles disappeared. I watched for months and months hoping they would re-appear. I had almost given up hope, but finally just in the last month they have slowly appeared again by the edge of the cut. A meager little growth, compared to what I was. Will I ever harvest any seeds? All I know for sure is that I will continue to intend to.

Coincidentally just just watched this Gutsick Gibbon (primatologist) vid which touches on this a bit (though not the main topic). https://youtu.be/dy7_LousWVo

Emerald damselfly, or migrant spreadwing. Nice pic.

Never have a seen a more visceral illustration of the brutal dangers of ai.

Unfortunately your stats link appears to be paywalled, or at least requires login to see the graph?

The annoying part of this for me is that Gates' name needs to be dropped in, presumably to get attention. But so it goes.

It's interesting to see that the concept of butter in the comments seems to be a significant trigger for a bunch of people (in the /c/science posting of this article). This is another level to the problem.

But the main problem which no one seems to have commented on (maybe because it is mentioned at the end of the article) is, like many animal product substitutes, production cost and scaling.

Animal products are so embedded and subsidised (and/or at least true externized costs ignored), and politically connected, potential eco-friendly alternatives like this have a really extra hard time getting off the ground even if I could one day be cheaper.

Jupiter may be the stormiest place in the Solar System, but Saturn's no slouch either. A new study has found that the ringed giant also has persistent megastorms that can last a century and leave deep atmospheric scars that last much longer.

An analysis of radio waves emitted by Saturn conducted by a team of astronomers led by Cheng Li of the University of Michigan has revealed long-lasting signatures of giant storms, including equatorial storms that took place hundreds of years ago.

This is a fascinating insight into the dynamics of Saturn, and can help us figure out the cause of the strange megastorms that rage every few decades...

 

Charged cosmic rays, high-energy clusters of particles moving through space, were first described in 1912 by physicist Victor Hess. Since their discovery, they have been the topic of numerous astrophysics studies aimed at better understanding their origin, acceleration and propagation through space, using satellite data or other experimental methods.

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) collaboration, a large research group analyzing data collected by a large magnetic spectrometer in space, recently gathered new insight about the properties and composition of specific types of cosmic rays. In a new paper, published in Physical Review Letters (PRL), they specifically unveiled the composition of primary cosmic-ray carbon, neon, and magnesium, along with the composition and properties of cosmic-ray sulfur.
