I appreciate you posting here George, I’m learning a lot from reading your posts and I am here on BlueSky primarily for pretty nature and Space photos.

In other words, for a while missing barrels (20% of global supply) cannot be replaced *at any price*, market failure.

Products do NOT have that problem, because they're a final consumption product rather than an intermediate input (well, at least in part, obviously it's a bit more complicated).

So glad you enjoyed it!

Another unexpected opportunity 2026 threw my way: I got the call to be on Jeopardy! Tune in next Thursday, March 19 (or March 20 on Hulu or Peacock), to watch me on the Alex Trebek Stage!

Sadly, the bbc took Science in Action off the air… and I do love a good science podcast.

I just found this one, which I’m enjoying:
“Starts With A Bang” a podcast by Ethan Siegel.

A mosaic of images captured by the SHERLOC WATSON camera located on the instrumented turret mounted on the Perseverance rover's robotic arm. The cameras on the mast head look straight at us. Rover tracks are seen in the background.

Totally awesome new selfie captured by Percy, with the rim of Jezero Crater at her back, and her latest abrasion patches on the rock to the left.

On this date:
WHO declared the Covid-19 Pandemic on March 11, 2020.

6 years ago.

(WHO declared the pandemic “over” on May 5, 2023)

I am remembering those we lost and those affected all these years later.
