"plastics stock run out"

IF ONLY THE PETROCHEMICALS INDUSTRY HAD ACTUALLY WORKED ON FIGURING OUT HOW TO RECYCLE PLASTIC INSTEAD OF LYING TO US FOR DECADES!

Trump threats, U.S. troop build-up raise specter of battle for Hormuz Israelis said securing the strait for energy shipments could become the war’s main goal now that regime change and ending Iran’s ability to obtain a nuclear weapon seem out of reach.

The “main goal” of the Iran War may have changed, reports Washington Post: “Israeli officials said securing the [Strait of Hormuz] for energy shipments could become the war’s main goal now that regime change and ending Iran’s ability to obtain a nuclear weapon seem out of reach.”

“.. ‘many system vendors will go bankrupt or exit product lines due to a lack of memory. Mobile phone production will be reduced by 200-250 million units, and PC and TV production will be significantly reduced.’ Yikes.”

That's clearly a composite florp.

Waarom heb ik dit weekend eigenlijk nul politieke duiding gehoord over dat de woorden 'lelylijn' en 'transgenderwet', initiatieven waar D66 zich onder Rutte-IV hard voor maakte in een coalitie met de VVD en het CDA, niet in het regeerakkoord staan?

Er was al 3,4 miljard voor opgespaard de lelylijn, uit incompetentie is die 3,4 miljard weggestreept in Schoof zijn voorjaarsnota, en ineens horen we er niemand meer over. De transgenderwet lag er, werd onder Schoof ingetrokken, en ineens horen we er niemand meer over.

Cool fact, sand can be made up entirely of biogenic material (shell pieces, spines, exoskeletons). Just hard bits of tiny animals (sometimes fossilised!). It's just body parts of dead animals.

This reinforces my opinion that the economist is probably not worth reading.

Another beauty.

I remain absolutely confused that people *ever* thought screwing with the abyssal sea floor would "get better" after mining.

aw sorry! Her!

aww my condolences. May there be plentiful mice for him on the other side!

I have a question 🤚: how will they cool it? Spacecraft are notoriously difficult to cool so I can only imagine this thing must end up with a radiative cooling assembly the size of a small dyson sphere

Nobody makes good fossil fish masks so this year I knocked out a Protosphyraena for myself!

A little cardboard and superglue goes a long way when paired with obsession

More 'science' by the same Canadian team: Nabipour et al. 2025 (DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2025.140027). pubpeer.com/publications...
Plenty more anomalies and issues flagged by various others on PubPeer; too much to blame it on a student or undergrad.

Are you sure you didn't get hacked? Especially because they flagged it for spam and are willing to deny an appeal I think you might've got a case of compromised account on your hands.

as foretold 🥳

I don't clout chase. I don't clickbait. I don't start discourse. I don't censor myself. I don't optimize my searchability.
I post my let's plays. And if they flop, I don't care

#bonktober69 day 24: Slippery!

You gotta pay attention to the invisible wet floor signs.

UTTERLY SURREAL LOW ANGLE GLACIER SLIDE!! 😮😱

On Saturday at 11:00 am, a 2 km-long, 25 m-high, and 150-200 m in width section detached off the Ismoil Somoni Glacier (Tajikistan) and slid down the gorge! 🧊🌊

It looks like you're going trough a really rough time right now, and that's not strange given how shit the world is, but give yourself some time to find the people you need to find. The journey is hard but I promise you it is worth it.
