Happy 423 years of us! 🎉 📚
The Bodleian Libraries opened for the first time on 8 November 1602...
This means, we're older than the refracting telescope (1608), the publication of Shakespeare's Hamlet (1623) and Sir Isaac Newton's apple (1666)! 😅

Two coal power units in Victoria tripped on Thursday and nobody realised, because a gigawatt of wind and solar was available to step into the breach.
Six of the state's 10 coal units were out neatly replaced by batteries, renewables, and a bit of gas.

There is a long-standing helium shortage. Helium is needed in hospitals (for MRI machines, respiratory therapy, some medical procedures) and should therefore not be wasted blowing up balloons.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?
