@kathrynemmerson.bsky.social A question about nucleation in the atmosphere. I saw that some work at CERN indicates that sesquiterpenes enhance droplet formation.
Do the Eucalypts around here (Sydney) emit any of these compounds? How much?

This is Stainless Steel, Granite and Urethane Paint. About the pace of city life, people briskly walking out their day as the hours speed by. By Dr Byung Kyu Kim, of South Korea, seen recently at Sculpture by the Sea, Bondi.
Imagine having that in your garden? Or your own version!

Looks like moves to turn browser first party cookies into third party. But only for the anointed ones.
This week, Google publicly announced a change to how people will be tracked for online advertising - something so subtle that it hasn’t gotten any coverage yet to my knowledge. Attached is the email they sent to Adsense partners about “Rolling out first-party cookies sharing with Authorized Buyers”🧵

We had a wee visitor the other day. An echidna. Actually the biggest I've seen around here, in over 15 years. They bury themselves when fires come through. We may have a protection burn soon, so I guess he'll be doing that.

Solar flares are usually over pretty quickly. This recent one ran for 12 hours. If you're into it, you can picture the magnetohydrodynamics at work, in those great arcs of plasma, light, magnetic and electrical forces, etc.

Where is the horse and the rider?
Where is the horn that was blowing?
They have passed like rain on the mountains,
like wind in the meadow.
The days have gone down in the West,
behind the hills... into Shadow.

This surprised me. It made me want to control my own search engines more than I do. So that I can limit what's in my results.
It's an article about finding deepfake nude images of movie stars in search engines. I find it disturbing.

Juno, the spacecraft, took a swooping course past Jupiter's inner moon, Io. You can see the frosting of yellow elemental sulphur on that amazing place.
Good to see that we can still make craft with such capabilities.
Happy New Year to all.

These remarkable creatures are Tawny Frogmouths. They are convinced that by staying still they're invisible. They're almost right in thinking that.
