Using old tyres and coffee grounds instead of cooking coal for steel manufacturing. Interesting.

This is a bit of a weird article. It’s starts with a legit problem but then this Maywood guy provides weird solutions:
"[One thing] the government could look at, especially in the transition, because the transition is actually quite a fragile time, would be to reduce power using a combination of smart meters, smartphones and SMS messaging.
"You could ask people to reduce loads and be given an incentive to do that."
Really? Where’s the call-out for infrastructure upgrade? Grid needs a national level implementation + storage solutions now not later. The way it’s going it will require 2-3 governments to even design a program and get it going. And then 3-4 governments to actually make meaningful progress and deliver results. And I don’t think that’s an exaggeration.

Interesting tale of scope creep becoming creepy. It is now in the spotlight and may wither a bit but has momentum and can still thrive in the shadows.
Political machinations in Russia can be next level. This pro-war military blogger was given a gold statue of himself at a presentation he was giving in St Petersburg. Turns out there was 200gm of dynamite in the statue which was subsequently detonated.

I remember doing a trip to Yorke Peninsula, we drove past Alby's property for a sticky beak.. a mate who was training to be a bush pilot saw his battered and dinged plane and jumped the fence for a closer look - the scarring was painted on!
We told the old lady who's property we used to stay on, she chuckled and told us about the time Alby and his crew came to stay there to defrag after promoting a film. They asked her several times to tell no-one, to keep their stay secret. They turned up (after driving conspicuously through Warooka for lunch at the Hash House) in full entourage with 'World Safari' emblazoned all over their 4wds and trailers..
The films were a helluva lark, but there's a fair whack of andre rieu in the old dutchman I reckon : )
Any of you ever fallen into one of these coniferous death traps? Upside down even worse!
Skier is an absolute legend, and very well prepared too.
Faaark..!
Yeh, total legend: 'I'm going back up for a sec to get my shovel out, ok?.' !!
Not really a problem in Japan but North America, just thinking about that terrifies me. I was forewarned of tree wells on my first ski trip to Canada at the tender age of 19.
A few years ago here I took a little detour through the trees of a resort I‘m very familiar with and basically opened up a crevice that had a thin layer of snow covering it. Did a forward roll, came to a stop and looked back to see what made me fall over. Basically a metre wide crack with blue ice and I couldn't see the bottom.
I still shudder at the thought of falling head first in that.
Broke the cardinal sin by being alone.
People, if you're off-piste, always have a partner.
Truly terrifying VJ. Trees, can't trust em.

It's not only trees, you can often find deep wells round rocks. Over the course of the season, the snow glides very slowly down the slope. This can create deep holes on the downhill side of rock formations.
Apparently Rockies are having their greatest season ever for snow, there's footage of avalanches on twitter and stories of resorts closed as of risk.
eg
I am saying: « RUN Forest!!

For the Tabbibi fans:
Again, like the Sy Hersh stories, all ain’t what it seems. So next time someone says, “What about the Titter Files”, point them to this.
More questions about the ‘research’ approach than answers about election interference.

Hopefully sypkan see's this as its one of his areas of interest and knowledge.
But seriously one kinda croppy blog type article with a video that wont play trying down play one aspect of the twitter files doesn't mean much at all, it all there in black and white, all kinds of crazy shit have been uncovered and cant be re covered up, but most of its been ignored by the main stream media.
Im not a fan of Wikipedia as a source but for those that dont know you can find a basic summary of things here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitter_Files#:~:text=The%20Twitter%20Fil…
Let’s see if Wikipedia article is amended as people check the data. For example:
“The errors that Hasan highlights matter a lot. A key one is Taibbi’s claim that the Election Integrity Partnership flagged 22 million tweets for Twitter to take down in partnership with the government. This is flat out wrong. The EIP, which was focused on studying election interference, flagged less than 3,000 tweets for Twitter to review (2,890 to be exact).
And they were quite clear in their report on how all this worked. EIP was an academic project to track election interference information and how it flowed across social media. The 22 million figure shows up in the report, but it was just a count of how many tweets they tracked in trying to follow how this information spread, not seeking to remove it. And the vast majority of those tweets weren’t even related to the ones they did explicitly create tickets on.
In total, our incident-related tweet data included 5,888,771 tweets and retweets from ticket status IDs directly, 1,094,115 tweets and retweets collected first from ticket URLs, and 14,914,478 from keyword searches, for a total of 21,897,364 tweets.
Tracking how information spreads is… um… not a problem now is it? Is Taibbi really claiming that academics shouldn’t track the flow of information?
Either way, Taibbi overstated the number of tweets that EIP reported by 21,894,474 tweets. In percentage terms, the actual number of reported tweets was 0.013% of the number Taibbi claimed.”
The "sneaky yatchie snorkler team" cover story for Nordstream blow up by the spooks was not their best effort.
Awkward.
So the crisis team stepped in to fix things and decided to throw breadcrumb trails in all directions excepting, of course, towards the UK and the US.
A more confusing story is way harder to engage with. Nice job.
The WP fearlessly reveals all.
