🧵 An unusual procedural moment at the UN this week.

At the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW70), the Agreed Conclusions were adopted on the OPENING day — and BY VOTE rather than consensus.

That almost never happens.

Promising breakthrough creates plastics that self-deconstruct on cue: Study Plastics have a gigantic built-in problem: They’re tenacious, which is very good for a milk jug or a car bumper. But they don’t easily break down, which is bad for the environment. From the 1950s,…

Chemists have developed a "self-deconstructing" plastic that can be programmed to break down on cue.

Researchers at Rutgers University have developed a method to modify materials so they break down into molecular components at a specific time or in response to triggers.

It will be funny how these guys will own everything in a very, very short time. Too much fun. The question is if the water plant is doubling every day and the pond is half covered, when is 100%? Well, tomorrow. Exponential growth. Then collapse. We know this already. We do this every time.

Might be. It might be also true that It was here before humans, oceans and even before the existence of the sense we try to make from all this.

OK, I understand and fully support, but ..do we really call this science?

I'm not suggesting this is an open secret within the climate science community, but it's remarkable how little impact this sort of research is generating. Because if the rate of warming really has *doubled* then you can kiss goodbye to 2°C. www.carbonbrief.org/pace-of-glob...

Reduce rust by dumping your wok twice, and other kitchen tips When you reach the bottom of a container of milk or honey, you might be tempted to tip the container over to get that last pesky little bit out.

Allowing water to pool for a few minutes before a second dump can help reduce rust in woks, highlighting the role of fluid viscosity in everyday kitchen tasks. doi.org/hbq9pk

spatial transcriptomics, because why not

Microplastics and nanoplastics in urban air originate mainly from tire abrasion, research reveals Although plastic particles in the air are increasingly coming into focus, knowledge about their distribution and effects is still limited.

Air in urban areas contains microplastics and nanoplastics, with tire abrasion accounting for about two-thirds of these particles and potential links to increased cardiovascular and lung cancer risks. doi.org/hbq64d

Кроношпан, Велико Търново: Стартира се с едно припалване към 18-19 ч., след което за под 3 часа целия град е под мъглива пелена, а над нея постоянен плътен облак. И така цяла нощ. #kronospan

Promoters and enhancers: Tool catches gene-controlling DNA sequences doing each other's jobs Researchers at the Weill Institute for Cell and Molecular Biology have uncovered new evidence that two major types of gene-controlling DNA sequences, promoters and enhancers, operate with a shared logic and often perform the same jobs.

A new high-throughput assay demonstrates that promoters and enhancers often perform overlapping roles, suggesting gene regulation relies on a unified, interconnected network rather than distinct elements. doi.org/hbqzcb

Yes, unfortunately we will have to ask every process from the chemical industry (as an example) why it exists and how it help prolong the survivability of all of us? Then we can cut deep while actually enforcing our engagement with Nature. Then we heal the clustered core and it passes the checkpoint

Rise of the rice robots—creating active smart materials Rice becomes weaker when compressed quickly, while staying stronger under slow pressure—a discovery enabling scientists to design a new material that could be used to build "soft" robots that change stiffness automatically and protective gear that adapts to impact speed.

A new metamaterial inspired by rice grains changes stiffness based on impact speed, offering potential for adaptive soft robotics and protective gear without the need for electronics or sensors. doi.org/hbqhwr

Yes, but this is not automatic and you should turn on the plan mode for Opus and after that, you should exit plan mode and go to fast mode to start the coding. If i understand this correctly.

Pregnancy-related complications are not the most common causes of maternal death among pregnant women, new mothers Researchers at Columbia University have found that accidental drug overdose, homicide, and suicide are the leading causes of death among pregnant and postpartum women.

Accidental drug overdose, homicide, and suicide are now the leading causes of death among pregnant and postpartum women in the United States, surpassing traditional pregnancy-related complications.

Не съм несъгласен. Вкл. не съществуват богове тип беловлас бял дядо хванал за ръка Джизъс с блажен поглед. По-скоро естеството имах предвид, биосферата, Гая, и т.н.

Аз пък обичам да задълбавам, но не с цел да обясня колко съм прав, а да науча повече.

Е, да точно погрешното схващане не само, че животът е един и, че го имаме, пречи много. То нас ни има и ни живее.

И също има милиарди, които не се интересуват защо са бедни, необразовани и потиснати, но искат да са богати, поради което конформират с моралните уроди. Психолога никога не идва да те вика на терапия - чака те, когато си готов.

Ами, да. Но у нас, ако тръгнеш леко вляво и вече си асоцииран с предатели и невменяеми. А Зелените са се маскирали на десни и губят половината от вота си. А де що излезе нещо ляво, все се прецака с поръчения от Москва. Не е лесно да сътвориш нещо вляво в посттоталитарна постсоц страна.
