[te.mpe.st @te_mpe_st]

We looked into @octra. We didn't find very good things!

From our eyes, Octra might just be a rug. Please read and give your thoughts. (P.S. @Bybit_Official and @binance , you should read this. They used your services.)

Apocalyptic bird nest.

A Russian glide bomb knocks down a tree in Donbas. From the shattered branches rolls out a tiny bird’s nest.

DID YOU KNOW? Singapore has an elite police unit called the ‘Gurkha Contingent’ that Lee Kuan Yew recruited via the British for their loyalty and competence. He often deployed them to police race riots because he trusted them to be effective and impartial enforcers of the law

think the case study was Singapore. Didn't eradicate mozzies completely, but seems to have worked at drastically decreasing dengue cases.

BREAKING: Google is planning to release 32 million mosquitoes across Florida and California.

The company has asked the EPA for permission to proceed, with the public given until June 5 to respond.

The mosquitoes are infected with Wolbachia bacteria, which stops them from reproducing and slowly collapses the wild population from within.

Google's previous Debug Project trial in California's Central Valley nearly eliminated mosquitoes from three test sites entirely. A separate trial in Singapore cut dengue cases by 70% within 12 months.

Google has now released over 1 billion mosquitoes across four continents. This new proposal is the largest deployment in US history.

@KingKong9888 2 ports plus a land bridge? sounds messy. think a necessity for commodity type operations is efficiency, and this seems the anthesis of lowest cost operator. appreciate the creativity and aspiration though.

@Engineer_Wong @vlotty where did you find the reducing adapters? Also, can you suggest something for an exhaust system venting through a different window?

No way

Ok, fine. Strait is closed. No one allowed in or out

Wait, what?

You heard me, no one is allowed in or out

Wait -- what about

There'll be no more discussion, it's closed to everyone

Wait a minute, actually, maybe we could open it a little bi--

No. It's closed

Actually, I want it opened. I've always wanted it open. Why don't we just--

You might have to pay a toll

WHAT

A cliffside bookstore has been built inside a massive limestone sinkhole in Guangxi China.

Set in the Mianhua Tiankeng it sits inside a karst collapse feature formed over thousands of years as underground caves eroded and caved in leaving sheer vertical limestone walls.

Bookshelves and walkways are built directly into the rock face with the natural geology still dominating the space layered limestone steep drops and a huge hollow basin carved by water over time.

symptomatic of everything cn. looks ok initially, polished and seemingly satisfies some need/desire, but look at little deeper, and there's so much crap. look at the ingredients.. compare made in cn Lay's chips for instance. extends to almost everything else.

[benthicplumber @benthicplumber]

i might add, the US and the West must win.

[benthicplumber @benthicplumber]

no. always on the side of the US no matter the reported/surface level cringe. the us must win. a cn/rus led world would be unbearable.
