The superconductor news is staying interesting for longer than I initially expected. It seems like whatever this material is, it's got some fascinating properties... https://twitter.com/iris_IGB/status/1685804254718459904

Uh, general #nostr question- is there a good solution yet for mass-blocking shitcoiner bots? It's not that big a deal, but there's a minor infestation almaot every time I post.

I'm a big fan of the folks at Integrated Skills Group, as they highlight some stuff that's often overlooked in the broader prepper community. One thing is in-field weather prediction, and broad weather awareness skills. Knowing a little bit about clouds and weather patterns can really let you understand a bit about the vast systems of temperature and pressure flow that surround you, which is majestic, fascinating. And occasionally, very useful. https://integratedskillsgroup.com/2021/06/level-up-cloud-genera/

Time for the bancor #mandibles More seriously, though, I'm skeptical- none of them except maybe China have shown the organization necessary to pull this off, and China has macro troubles of its own

Get out there and do something cool this weekend.

Does anyone else have a weird bug on #amethyst where backspacing into a word deletes the previous space?

trying to get a feel for how different messages and formats interlink on nostr: https://blogstack.io/naddr1qqyrsv34xvurgvf5qy28wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hsygz5a44j5sn5s8gndppa2gv7qt5dshfepz5dsj8ryj8eakzl89qq25psgqqqw4rsgwet7t

IFAK check: how far away is your closest tourniquet, right now?

Yeah, this definitely feels smoother...

Human evolution is fascinating: both the stuff way back in the depths of time, but also more recent adaptations. Domesticated cattle are some of the original biotech, and as we shape our tools, they shape us... https://www.science.org/content/article/humans-were-drinking-milk-they-could-digest-it

feels good to be out bouldering again

Book rec: Quickstart Molecular Biology, by Benfey. It's meant as a crash course for engineers being thrown into the fire of systems biology research or biotech startups. Biology is mind-bogglingly complicated, but Benfey does a good job of getting through "powerhouse of the cell" platitudes and getting to some fundamental mental models for genetics, biological information flow, and the tools we use to work with them, and does it in about 130 pages. Whether it's mRNA, CRISPR, or your own biology, this stuff is worth knowing a bit about. #bookstr
