“Honeybees collecting nectar from a ‘buffet’ of Australian native plants made honey with anti-microbial abilities that is more potent than ‘single origin’ honey made from only one source of plant or flower.” https://hell.twtr.plus/media/1872d8ea27f9c0612b7005bb7f293d6bbaec064660fa9cac19c5ec21502343fa.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/f779fe6a86f0d4685501a5f73859dd974af41ec5245db1e5ab6b7be61c466f91.file

Our eyes developed from a cyclopean worm 600 million years ago and its lone eye is now our pineal gland. 'Remnants of the ancient parietal median eye from our distant ancestor actually remain in our heads today, transformed into the pineal gland. The pineal gland is a light‑sensitive organ in the vertebrate brain. It produces the hormone melatonin, which helps regulate the body’s circadian rhythm. “It’s mind‑boggling that our pineal gland’s ability to regulate our sleep according to light stems from the cyclopean median eye of a distant ancestor 600 million years ago,” concludes Dan‑E Nilsson.'

In light of what has come in the open these last few hours, and what you can see with your own eyes when you step out onto the streets, surely you can figure out who the good guys and the bad guys are by now?

Chronic lower back pain cost the US $100 billion annually directly and two or three times that if you include indirect costs like loss of labour. However simple walking for about 1.5-2 hours daily reduced the risk of developing it by 23%. The cost reduction for society encouraging us to walk more and drive less are potentially huge (not even starting to count all the other health positives of walking). Why not start with encouraging the building of walkable mixed high density neighborhoods and towns that was the human norm for thousands of years? And make them walkable. We know from studies on campuses and theme parks that even Americans are happy to spend far more than 2 hours on their feet if they can be distracted by alluring or interesting surroundings. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/b1a4eb652e637f405b61228eed1a95f15e499196acfd0b2936ca62ca8aa7f8bc.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/6cb723466fc53b072af4fcd983df447faa077557d657a819b1967f66fb96aa87.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/51d7fc6b5f764b0e7ffc0f7a5dd774d7c67b54394dc1ef6ef7340460cd825ab3.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/515e2aec7920a5deba75c37b56241792335be79efec9ae27fbcd1a5a8a7493b3.file

In architecture, a spandrel is the space between arches, usually triangular. If it is filled we call it "spandrel wall", and it was often decorated. In longer arches, the spandrel can contain spandrel beams and spandrel columns to help carry what is above. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/a34aa31d3c6a0c1d59e982f7a4ea41d24628e34eba46a44736d06100d0cb2a0f.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/0fda7c64fc529f2554651927fb15b3da4bd6ac943fe95137912879caf8447b0f.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/759aca0c06a923514e7f633cf3f9d4ebdc761c4417ebfa3dfc5583ec0c68067f.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/6c24bd26bd61d54f734ee3bb71b8e9f89d94c89ac8b28530cfc7306618b655d0.file

Ok I'll bite. You can't build these for profit/affordable. What you can do is gather a group of fit and averagely able men and teach them how to build these themselves (sweat equity). Preferably in a place where the authorities are sympathetic to the materials and the idea. https://nitter.poast.org/Byzness/status/1912864800184451257#m

The 21st century is the century for radio. No-one has time for TV. Podcasts are not nearly curated enough. Ads and algorithms are killing Youtube. Radio is the happy middle point.

Egg prices soar as outdated supply chains crack under pressure

Consumers and politicians blame cage-free egg laws and bird flu outbreaks for high egg prices. But the root cause is an outdated supply chain system.

Still thinking of that 1986 experiment by a professor at Shizuoka U who tried breeding mice in cages of wood, concrete, and iron.
