Was just watching MSNBC's post coverage of Kamala Harris' acceptance speech and specifically hosts mention how the structure that Kamala used to deliver it. As a former prosecutor she introduced herself to her audience, lays out her case by introducing evidence, and summarizes what needs to be done to resolve the case. Kamala was being herself as a prosecutor and delivering her speech to the American people why they should trust her to make things right. #politics #Kamala

Had a little over a pound of portobello mushrooms that I had bought about a week or so and needed to use before they went south. So, decided to make Hungarian mushroom soup for lunch today. I'll probably compliment the soup with an oven roasted turkey breast sandwich with basil pesto. #CoSoFood #foodporn #foodpron

This does not bode well for #Nature: Humans to push further into wildlife habitats across more than 50% of land by 2070. Sharing increasingly crowded spaces could result in greater risk of pandemics, human and animal conflicts and loss of nature. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/aug/21/humans-to-push-further-into-wildlife-habitats-across-more-than-50-of-land-by-2070-study-aoe

Federal environment minister Tanya Plibersek has given approval for the first stage of what will be the biggest renewable and storage project in the world, the Sun Cable Australia-Power Link. The approval includes the 800 kms transmission link to Darwin from the pastoral property near Elliott in the Northern Territory, and will allow for up to 10 gigawatts of #solar and# battery #storage to be built, providing up to 4 GW of 24/7 green power. #Singapore #Australia https://reneweconomy.com.au/sun-cable-plibersek-approves-first-stage-of-worlds-biggest-solar-project/

There is now a new term being added to the dictionary and it is "Danger Season" which is a stretch of time from May to October and it brings with it extreme weather. So far this season, 99% of the country’s population has been touched by at least one extreme weather alert. #ClimateChange https://www.latimes.com/environment/story/2024-08-16/extreme-weather-touches-most-of-america-this-danger-season

#Innewsoftheabsurd Rare sighting: ‘Doomsday fish’ found near La Jolla Shores. The last time an Oarfish was seen was 2011 for instance, more than 20 oarfish reportedly washed ashore in Japan, just a few months before a 9.1 earthquake struck. #predictions #earthquakes #California #ocean https://fox5sandiego.com/news/local-news/rare-sighting-oarfish-washes-up-at-la-jolla-shores/

@corlin Thank you for this link. I'll go take a look at it.

What is the hottest temperature humans can survive? These labs are redefining the limit: In 2019, physiologist Ollie Jay started designing a chamber that could simulate the heatwaves of today and of the future. Jay’s team is also exploring which cooling strategies work best to reduce the health risks of heat exposure. #ClimateChange #heat #humidity #science https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-02422-5

@ReneeVoiceBrand Hear! Hear!

#Innewsoftheabsurd Getting old sucks. Looks like our suspicions about how we age have been confirmed. The first changes occurs at about age 44: changes included molecules linked to cardiovascular disease and the ability to metabolise caffeine, alcohol and lipids. At about age 60 include molecules involved in immune regulation, carbohydrate metabolism and kidney function. There might be a third one at age 78. #age #science #nature https://www.theguardian.com/science/article/2024/aug/14/scientists-find-humans-age-dramatically-in-two-bursts-at-44-then-60-aging-not-slow-and-steady

‘Unacceptable’: a staggering 4.4 billion people lack #safe drinking #water, study finds. New estimate doubles the previous figure, raising questions about which is correct and highlighting gaping data holes. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-02621-0

@DyDave Thanks for this...
