Feeling that could get you into team building and research funding :)

I agree overall, but so many people in the 48% cannot even afford to care (acute in the US, and getting acute in many countries with formerly more social practices). Unfortunately many of the 48% must run all day for shillings, still care for their family and collapse naked on their bed, exhausted. Do they have energy or mental to review the news? I bet like most of us here, their physiology needs slack time on TikTok or Netflix, then zero on The News, let alone trying to get perspective across media :'( It's up-hill hard to give a fuck, when it's hard to get a paycheck or service in the first place. --- Very interested in crossing with news consumption habits!

We developed a system that uses camera and algorithms to weigh chickens without touching them---huge reduction in animal stress, some saying this helps contribute to animal welfare in farming. Here might be a similar idea, so studying bees may not need to kill any, or way fewer 💛2🐝

Faust has released a camera that signs images on a blockchain, guaranteeing their authenticity. It may be overkill specs for a nature watching system—exploring the idea in my mind!

Reflexive control may be a kind of informal fallacy, the difference being movie-grade plots to implement them. Isn’t it a version of a common mechanism to control narratives, victor’s story and the like?

ROC cameras could be justified here? @faust Science with reliably traceable data is a super bounty.

Would there be a way to invent a device that takes high resolution pictures over large flower patches, and identification would be done on pictures? That could be a great research project, clearly motivated, and reproducible all over the world.

Thanks for the idea. Thinking about it it seems plausible and unlikely. Never saw a seal at the exit of a (2 months old new) tap, perhaps for basic aesthetics. No remains on the other tap after unscrewing. Most tap ends have mm filters, so it should not be a problem in practice—who cares about macroplastics? In the end the problem is really about micro plastic residue, and other problems like PFAS… All be safe.

Great point, possible! Unfortunately seal tapes are often made with… Teflon🫥

A proper title would @july the 1st. Or rather, @july I, with serif.

Surprise when cleaning the tap. Is there a category for macroplastics in tap water?

On "Once again, Russia has shown itself to be an unreliable partner. Alliances with Russia offer no genuine security guarantees", another conclusion is the US is *also* an unreliable partner, resulting from both Europoooor mentality of letting the US police the world (no counter-weight), and (again and again) unilateral decisions to bomb or try to destabilise other countries for whatever made-up reasons that serves its interests.
