I think I’m somewhere around As for Koppen-Geiger
nioo.knaw.nl The hidden world of wood-decaying fungi | Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW)
Of all the components of dead plants, wood is the hardest to break down. How come fungi know how to do this? What issues did they need to solve to achieve this? The Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW) tries to find answers to these questions. The research has yielded surprising discoveries....
phys.org Purification method removes PFAS from water while transforming waste into high-value graphene
Rice University researchers have developed an innovative solution to a pressing environmental challenge: removing and destroying per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly called "forever chemicals."

I actually have no idea! It’s from the Going to Seed organization, so it’s a bunch of different corn from disparate genetic origins thrown together in one seed packet to see what likes your local conditions. So far it’s not doing too badly for being neglected lol
Growing a grain for the first time myself! Have a small plot of corn. I’m really hoping I have enough for pollination, but it’s just a test regardless
Vegetive reproduction is what I learned how to garden with, but I’ve fallen down the seed rabbit hole. There’s so much variety that it’s honestly addictive
RSS is awesome. My favorite fun fact is that podcasts are RSS-based, which is why you can listen to any of them from any podcast app.

phys.org Researchers discover localized pain relief using known chemical reaction
A team of international researchers including those from the University of Adelaide have taken a well-known chemical reaction as the basis of a new generation of targeted pain relief medication.

Potential sources for them would also be appreciated. The weirder and more niche, the better. Edit: I’m in hardiness zone 13b
Some stuff I already have: Basil Mint Tomatoes Sage Lemongrass Marjoram Coleus caninus Cuban Oregano Passion Fruit Pumpkin Honeydew Avocado Cashew Coconut
phys.org Lignin molecular property discovery could help turn trees into affordable, greener industrial chemicals
Trees are the most abundant natural resource living on Earth's land masses, and North Carolina State University scientists and engineers are making headway in finding ways to use them as sustainable, environmentally benign alternatives to producing industrial chemicals from petroleum.

You could try using it as a PWA. Just add the website to your home screen via Safari. You could also try using Brave to access mbasic.facebook.com. All browsers on iOS are basically just Safari (unless you live in the EU), but at least it comes with a tracker blocker built in.

I bought a glowing plant. It led me down a rabbit hole of radiant mushrooms, 19th century experiments and a modern rivalry between scientists in Russia and the Americas.

phys.org Enhancing microbe memory to better upcycle excess CO₂
While some microbes can make people sick or spoil food, others are critical for survival. These tiny organisms can also be engineered to make specific molecules. Researchers reporting in ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering have rewired one such microbe to help tackle greenhouse gases in the atmo...

That's the big thing. Posting content consistently is key to the survival of communities like this one
Someone in one of the other communities where I crossposted this, said the exact same thing
Why use Drake when I could instead make a twoset reference
I believe that NitroKeys are open-source. The New Oil did a video covering them.
If you don’t mind his particular style, the SsethTzeentach video is what convinced me to give it a fair shake. The in-game tutorial and tooltips are pretty good though, and will get you started. Overtime you’ll discover more and more systems. Oh and just so you know, the demo is the full game, but a version behind.
Have to throw CK3 out as my personal favorite grand strategy game (though EU4 and the like are other options). There's nigh infinite content in weaving the story of your family and realm, and mods add a whole new layer to it.
Tossing Song of Syx onto the pile of games. Even if you don't care for the art style, the game is immensely deep, and quite frankly, addictive.
Definitely was my first thought. I think that I've spent way more time on that game than I'd like to admit.
Maybe Storm In a Tea Cup by Helen Czerski for a book outside your comfort zone. It's quite the interesting exploration of the principles of physics that underpin the world around us.
Ello, and thanks for the shoutout! Was there anything in particular you wanted to ask me about?
All hail
Glasses. The ability to see so much better than I otherwise could leaves me astonished every time I put them on.
