All the major artificial sweeteners were discovered by accident

How neat. Researchers claim to have found, at long last, an "einstein" tile - a shape that tiles the plane in a pattern that never repeats. First two authors appear to have no academic affiliations. https://t.co/T4UB6Ei6Lo

@whoisparul Not always! Many times, the act of measurement and setting targets influences the process being measured.

The White House announced its "blueprint" for tenant rights this morning, which touches on all the ideas raised here but falls short of the significant protections tenants are asking for. https://t.co/vLuWpjyRnZ

Thinking today that an underappreciated aspect of growing up in the late aughts is the combination of easy music access, and opportunity to listen to music w/o distractions

Advent of smartphone (vs CDs or iPods) has meant most music listening is in background of other activities

Looking at the question of whether the world has enough lithium for the electric vehicle transition.

Hunted down figures of global lithium reserves, back to 2007.

Reserves are increasing because we keep discovering more.

We're good at finding stuff when we need it.

@KurtWagner8 This was a great piece, Kurt. Really clear explanation of how this feature is designed and why we still see so many tweets without a note.

@WiringTheBrain @NicoleCRust DM'd. Thanks!

@NilesGApol It's really annoying to me that just doing ranked choice voting on the general election ballot is unacceptable, considering that they DO allow it for military voters....

They already allow *some* people to do RCV, just allow it for everyone!

[SZ Kulesa 🔢 @SZKulesa]

@cstewartiii A criticism of this policy from last year is that making voting simpler for only a specific group, with a specific political lean, is unfair

Utah similarly opened a zmartphone voting pilot last year and debuted it for only military voters last year

While I have often noted that GOP suppression tactics have backfired on them over the past decade, there's at least one plank of the new GA law that is straight-up dirty pool and probably *won't* backfire on the GOP.

And it involves ranked choice voting...

[SZ Kulesa 🔢 @SZKulesa]

@jake_jmc20985 @cstewartiii @P0liticsEnjoyer Yeah, it was part of the GA election law

@benadida Some discussion last year about this from @billscher. IMO, any step towards RCV is a good one, but it could be unfair to give RCV to a particular block of voters while everyone else has to vote a second time

[SZ Kulesa 🔢 @SZKulesa]

@benadida @billscher I agree, tho I can understand why someone would say making voting more convenient only for specific groups with a historical political lean seems dubious

AK,MS have this policy as well. UT similarly debuted a smartphone voting system for Military/oversea

Battery manuf capacity forecasts by 2031:
US - 920 GWh
EU - 1,186 GWh
China - 5,153 GWh
This is including both US IRA and EU planning and assuming that raw materials can be sourced.

@SpecialPuppy1 Confirmed

[SZ Kulesa 🔢 @SZKulesa]

@SpecialPuppy1 I would take that, sent you a DM

[SZ Kulesa 🔢 @SZKulesa]

@jmhorp I appreciate your tweets correcting/contextualizing misleading info when I see them, so I will make this for you but it might take me a while 🙂

[SZ Kulesa 🔢 @SZKulesa]

@binarybits It's probably a safe assumption, based off Peltola's win 3 months ago (which is likely a repeat this morning), and Murkowski's write-in upset in 2010 (Won some crossover dem support to beat R nominee)

[SZ Kulesa 🔢 @SZKulesa]

@SethCotlar Thanks! Im not that great at googling I guess. This seems much more trustworthy, since there's actual links to the (since deleted) Tweets embedded in the report as well.
