Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine.
If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

Today I discovered the milk-on-tap service at my local IGA and it’s a glorious thing. Then I learned this incarnation of re-using glass bottles began here in Tasmania and of course it did ☺️

Really enjoying listening to today’s covers of James Reyne’s “Reckless” on Andy Ford’s Music Show on #ABCRN.
Covers is a great series. I hope it will continue.

There are no circumstances where human beings should be without food. There are no qualifications that make someone undeserving of access to food. If you are a human being, you should get food. I don’t care about ability, job status, legal status, or anything else. If people are hungry, feed them.

Our 38kwh household solar battery is full, and our long range BYD Seal is about an hour away from being fully recharged using only our own solar panels.
It’s like having a free petrol station on our front drive!

It's easy to forget that drawing in perspective was once a new technology. The word perspective actually derives from a Latin word meaning to "see through". It is a system for seeing and representing the 3 dimensional world.

For many years I have been posting little observations online. What you may not know is that for many years, artists have been illustrating them - for no reason other than they wanted to respond. Below is a thread of some of these beautiful drawings because they should be seen 🧵

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.
