ai6yr,

@melanie "Vermiculite was discovered in the mountains near Libby in 1919, and vermiculite mining quickly became the dominant industry in town. The mineral, which has many commercial uses, from acoustic tiling to insulation, is perhaps most widely known today as the small white bits mixed into potting soil. ... When WR Grace & Company acquired the mines in 1963, they were producing 80% of the world's vermiculite. However, the strain of vermiculite being mined was heavily contaminated with a number of asbestiform minerals that have come to be known as Libby amphibole mix." https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanres/article/PIIS2213-2600(17)30048-6/fulltext

Lamppost EV chargers are the answer to how you charge your vehicle in cities.

This is possible because when energy intensive street lamps were replaced by LEDs, there’s excess power for charging EVs.

All cities should do this. ⚡️

@davidho Here's an enhancement: setting up bike corrals with ebike charging capabilities by streetlight poles.

In urban environments with multistory apartments, storing a bike above the ground floor is a challenge for many; a 50+ lb/23+ kg ebike even more of a challenge. Curbside storage and charging would enable cycling for many. And the total demand is much less than EV charging...

Wow, didn't realize Alaska had problems with coal seams catching on fire. #wildfires #coal #Alaska https://akfireinfo.com/2024/05/16/winds-bring-life-to-smoldering-coal-seam-fire-northeast-of-healy/

@ai6yr Yep. Not a major problem (so far) but it happens. At the moment the Popovitch Creek Coal Seam fire accounts for 88 percent of the area burned things haven't really started yet as not much hot dry weather yet: Memorial Day to 4th of July typically the prime time for wildfire starts.

chris_bloke,
@chris_bloke@mastodon.acm.org avatar

@ai6yr I believe the oldest known coal seam fire has been burning for around 5,500 years in Australia at a place called Wingen - I would guess some of the many in the US (PA has 38 alone) have the potential to go on for a long time too. https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/visit-a-park/parks/burning-mountain-nature-reserve/learn-more

made kalua pork!
this version of sriracha is far superior to the current recognizeable bottle.

the main org fired the old growers, so they started making their own variant. the main orgs new growers are pitiful, by comparison. try this stuff if you can.

also homemade kalua pork is heavenly

Got some more notices from Watch Duty today about a wildfire in my county but nowhere near me — a fire that was quickly extinguished. I smiled when I saw the familiar-to-me reporter name: Michael Silvester, who is in New Zealand. (He was CA Fire Scanner on Twitter.)

If you're in the Western US and at all concerned about wildfires, I highly recommend the Watch Duty app.

OODA Loop reminder: you need to constantly re-evaluate the situation and READJUST your assessment of a situation to fit; if you make a decision at one point in time, that is not a "philosophy" but a decision point at that point in time.

ai6yr,

@cy Well, in the case of wildfires -- adjust for the time of year, how much moisture is in the vegetation, wind conditions, heat/sunlight. In case of hurricanes, sea surface temperatures, overall weather conditions, development status in the main development zone. etc. etc.

Welcome to the Sharing Winter All Year Card Hop Challenge 5! ❄️
Hosted by @thatcraftygolden. We are thrilled to announce this month's theme: Worldwide Wintertide

This was such a fun challenge! I created a Yule box card for it. For the box construction, the license plate and the Viking I used products from @mftstamps. Their box card products are really well designed and easy to use! Find clickable links to all products in my blog post at ValleyOakPaper.com
