Can confirm I have a pumpkin growing here in Yarraville. Don't think it's going to win any prizes though! Photos taken about 10 days apart. If it gets to the size of a grapefruit I will declare victory. 🍾

Every major oil shock, put on the same timeline. The 1973 embargo was the longest lasting. The 1990 Gulf War was the biggest reversal. The 2026 Hormuz crisis is the steepest climb and drop. But the line isn't finished yet.

1. everyone wants scientists to do more replications.
2. "No! not like that!!!"

so you know, this is the process, science can't clear out ambiguity in one fell swoop. shit's messy. on the one hand, the published finding, on the other, the drop-outs. we still don't know where the truth is.

Tibet would have been even more tibetan back then! But i bet your photos aren't digital.

An anxiety attack! my body wanted more air and less walking. I didn't have altitude sickness but I was done anyway.

Systrom is more measured, I'd be keen to hear from him.

The lads I travelled to Everest with popped over the border to Nepal. I went back to Beijing. Here I am flying a kite on Tianan'men square. 4/4

From base camp, you're not allowed to go on and up. But I was 22: I went on and up. Until the altitude told me: no more. ( I didn't even make it to the mountain proper. This is one of the lakes in the glacial moraine below the north face.) 3/4

When I got to Lhasa, I found out that it was possible to get a driver and go to Everest base camp. 2-3 days each way. So I did that... 2/4

One thing I'm proud of doing in my life:
2003. I'm in Beijing doing a study abroad semester. The other Aussies used our autumn break to visit Shanghai. But I had found a reference online to a place in a back alley that would hook me up to get into Tibet. (you're meant to go in a tour group) 1/4

Presumably they want a response, so they can justify doing another Gaza?

I've played chess moves like this. Send your queen deep into enemy territory with a gleam in your eye; three moves later you're hoping that one rook you hadn't touched yet can be turned into a good defence.

My guess would be that a person who is part of a cryptography *community* doesn't make something all alone.
So even if he sent many of those messages, or all of them, Back can say he isn't Satoshi.

It's possible that the evidence has added up high enough and enough winnowing has already been done that even a pretty weak chain of logic now leads to the right answer.

Lithium levels tied to Alzheimer’s disease and dementia New research suggests that lithium replacement could be a potential approach to prevent and treat mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease.

What a time to be lithium (atomic mass: ~7)!
Hydrogen and helium have been getting the attention for 100 years+ and then wham, the 21st century arrives, and not only at you the hottest ingredient in batteries, but suddenly science realises you are an essential mineral! www.nih.gov/news-events/...

The New York Times is supposedly revealing the inventor of Bitcoin with a stylometric analysis. It's big, because of the Times imprimatur. But is it new? This * 12 year old *forum comment suggests it is not new at all.

I cancelled a plan to visit Kyneton and went to Werribee. My first time. Werribee was lovely (except the ramp to the actual platform, that was weird).

There's few remaining well known possible people so Back may well be it but the process JC followed here is bad science practice! He has the answer before he began.

I remember thinking Back was one of the strongest possibilities. So Carreyrou may be right. But I wouldn't trust him on a murder given his intense focus on one suspect!!

Old? Lithium ororate will soon be in your drawer next to the statins, fish oil, and aspirin. 💊💊💊

Despite a growth pattern described as "rampant" there are apparently no known agricultural cultivars, suggesting the flavour profile is 💩.

Bret over the back fence believes he is growing Australia's most successful pumpkin plant. But I just researched this leaf shape and it's a ... gourd.
