Why has the price of ethanol surged over 20 cents? (Ref: NSW Government fuel check app)
It’s made in Nowra by the Honog family’s Manildra Group and already significantly subsidised by consumers under the NSW Governments Ethanol fuel mandate.
@TheOneLanceB All these things have provenance in common. BTC will be enduring because people passionately believe in this collectable and it appeals to them. It has collective value, rarity and provenance.
What’s your passion collectable @TheOneLanceB ?
@TheOneLanceB I get your point but I think you're discounting collectability. This collection is arguably entirely made of collective speculations: https://t.co/Py1Fg9ljae
Have you tracked how much wealth is stored in bonded warehouses containing art that never sees the light of day?
May have overdosed on The Barrel by @AldousHarding . Tested out the exquisite timber of the recording on every listening device I have available.
Will probs do it all again tomorrow.
A groundbreaking discovery from NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission has just rewritten the story of life's cosmic origins.Pristine samples scooped directly from the ancient asteroid Bennu—delivered untouched to Earth in 2023—have revealed something astonishing: a treasure trove of bio-essential sugars, including ribose (the backbone of RNA, the molecule that carries genetic instructions) and glucose (the universal fuel that powers nearly every living cell on our planet).For the first time ever, these critical building blocks of life have been confidently detected in material collected straight from space, free from any Earthly contamination that plagues meteorites fallen to our world.Unlike rocks that crash-land and mingle with terrestrial microbes, Bennu's fragments were captured in the vacuum of space and sealed in a ultra-clean capsule—preserving their primordial purity. The verdict is clear: these sugars were born in the cold depths of the early solar system, billions of years ago.This finding completes the full set of major organic ingredients thought necessary for life to emerge: amino acids (previously found in other samples), nucleic acid bases, lipids—and now, the sugars that tie it all https://t.co/ESSP2GgQnf powerfully bolsters the idea that asteroids like Bennu acted as cosmic delivery trucks, seeding young planets—including our own—with the raw chemistry needed for life to spark. Perhaps the very molecules that built the first RNA strands and fueled the earliest metabolism rained down from the sky during Earth's violent infancy.With every new analysis of Bennu's dark, carbon-rich grains, we edge closer to answering one of humanity's deepest questions: how did lifeless chemistry become living biology? The answer, it seems, may have been written in the stars—and carried here on silent, ancient rocks drifting through the void.
@bennpeifert Ha. What’s really strange is watching people on pods with nothing but blank wall behind their heads. I find it v distracting. Firstly wondering if they are NPCs, secondly filling in that blank space. Large scale gritty photograph? Landscape video work? Plant wall? Portrait pair?
Congratulations @GilmourSpace Technologies ! Very exciting to see Eris launch - a milestone event which collected so much valauable data.
Here’s to the next launch soon 🤘🇦🇺
TestFlight1 — Liftoff 🚀
Today, Eris became the first #AustralianMade orbital rocket to launch from Australian soil — ~14s of flight, 23s engine burn.
Big step for 🇦🇺 launch capability. Team safe, data in hand, eyes on TestFlight 2.
(More pics and vids to come from the media.)
Camped around Ningaloo, glimpsed the Dark Array, went swimming with whale sharks and saw bleached coral tips. Let’s work together to keep our planet healthy please.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!
I asked chatgpt's new image model to script and generate a series of comics starring itself as the main character. The results genuinely gave me chills.
I'll post them all in a thread below.
