Once again you mention omega 3 without pointing to farmed salmon having 10-50 timEs the KNOWN beneficial LCPUFAS EPA and DHA. They are only found in meaningful quantities in fatty seafood. That is the main reason people seek the omega3 despite all kinds of misunderstanding of the known benefits of omega3. You cant eat enough lamb or beef to get the benefits. fact.

Some corners of the internet have started calling lamb land salmon. Hear them out. Omega-3s, CLA, zinc, B12, iron, selenium, complete protein. From an animal that spent its life on a fell in Cumbria eating grass, without a manufactured pellet anywhere in the picture. The CLA is the headline. Conjugated linoleic acid, higher in pasture-raised lamb than almost anything else on the shelf. You cannot synthesise it. You cannot extract it from a plant. The lamb makes it in its rumen from the grass, and then you eat the lamb. That is the entire supply chain. The zinc bioavailability is higher than beef. Meaningfully higher than the zinc in pumpkin seeds, which queues behind phytates and arrives at a fraction of what the label claims. The Texel ewe on the north fell did all of this on grass and rain, at four hundred metres, without supplements or certification or anyone's feeding programme. One of the most nutrient-dense meats on earth. Somehow the one you forgot to put in the basket. Put it in the basket.

@ZubyMusic I respond every time with ‘All kind of things’

When I meet new people and they ask me, "So, what do you do?" I like to respond with a random list of daily activities that have nothing to do with my career or how I earn money. Try it. It's fun.

What is something that is legalized that ruins more lives than something illegal 🧐

@AndrewScheer @elizabethmac61 Im sure they said that in Ireland too.

BREAKING!!! Liberal Mark Carney just voted DOWN the Conservative proposal to scrap fuel taxes for the rest of the year. Carney actually said in QP that Canadians were keeping up with higher prices and no new relief was necessary. How out of touch can you be?

@SaveAustralians Correct. I have zero confidence in the timely release of those tapes.

The Geelong Viva Refinery fire is highly suspicious. Authorities and politicians are saying it started due to “equipment failure” while the fire is still being contained. Refineries like this have extensive internal CCTV for safety and hazard monitoring, especially in high-risk areas like the MOGAS unit. Footage almost certainly exists. I don’t expect any footage to be released for a while. In industrial incidents, footage stays internal initially unless there’s a clear need to counter misinformation or evident criminality. If inconsistencies emerge, or public pressure mounts, it could come out later via WorkSafe Victoria, police, or an inquiry (likely redacted). Right now, with Australia already facing fuel supply strains and only two operational refineries left, full transparency is essential. Releasing any relevant security footage ASAP would address growing public concern and restore confidence. Thoughts?

@SaveAustralians If authorities and politicians are stating it was accidental without evidence then the opposite is likely true.

@realRick_AUS I have questions!!!

52 year old Indian man charged with sexual intercourse without consent and 3 counts of indecency on a flight from Singapore to Australia. Australian women are not even safe on bloody planes. We need to stop bringing these people in! When is enough, enough!

@wyatt_claypool @ChrisRi85936325 @One_BCHQ People understand 36 000 ha and 15 000 ha much better because they are measurements of area not distance.

@ChrisRi85936325 @One_BCHQ Yes but everyone knows what I mean by 36km and 15km without having to add in extra words.

The BC NDP government is pushing a new Treaty Act with the K’omoks band with “over 300 members” according to population numbers online. They are giving 36km of land to a band of 300 people with another 15km they can purchase later with NO legal requirement for K’omoks to drop land title claims. Of course this 30 year long exercise in futility was paid for by BC taxpayers.

@GadSaad You must be joking.

The cafe is playing Roxy Music. Good choice!

@wyatt_claypool @ChrisRi85936325 @One_BCHQ No they don’t.

@CarverJohns Yes. Freeze and vacuum pack.

Is Freezing the Best Way to Store Cannabis? Cannabis degrades over time when exposed to light, heat, and humidity. These environmental stressors break down THC and storage methods make all the difference. hellomd.com/articles/is-fr…

@EVCurveFuturist So the price will be coming down then? Right?

South Australia wasn’t supposed to move this fast. Models assumed slow, steady, controlled change. Instead it’s already at ~74% renewables, hitting 100% around 74% of the time. Beyond targets. Beyond plans. When cost curves hit, the system doesn’t transition… it flips. That’s where the models start to break. They assumed renewables would gradually take share. Instead they’re already setting the behaviour of the grid. Price, flow, stability… all increasingly driven by wind and solar. That shift wasn’t meant to happen this early. And here’s the part most people still miss. Demand isn’t sitting back waiting for the grid to catch up. It’s starting to move toward it. What used to be a ~3.3 GW system is now planning for 6.5 GW and beyond, with long term thinking pushing toward ~25 GW. SA already has way more generation capacity than it needs most of the time, which is why you’re seeing 100%+ renewables periods, negative demand events, exports to other states, and a surge in new battery plants. That’s a classic sign of a system moving into energy surplus mode. That’s not normal growth. That’s a system being rebuilt for something bigger. Mining, green metals, data centres. Energy-intensive industries don’t wait around. They move to where energy is cheapest, most abundant, most reliable. At the same time, the old intermittency argument quietly collapsed. Not through debate, but through deployment. Storage scaled. Batteries moved from experiment to infrastructure. Multi-hour systems are becoming standard, not exception. Now the grid is doing things it wasn’t supposed to do this early. Negative demand. Excess generation. Exporting energy instead of scrambling for it. These aren’t edge cases anymore. They’re signals the system has already flipped. This is why calling it a transition doesn’t quite fit anymore. It implies something slow, linear, predictable. What this looks like is a phase change. The models assumed gradual adoption. Reality followed cost curves. China is winning on scale. No question. But South Australia is showing something just as important… what the end state actually looks like. A grid where energy becomes abundant at times, local by default, and detached from fuel markets. reneweconomy.com.au/100-pct-renewa…

@medicalgrower42 Yeah its fucked

If only alcohol lingered for weeks like THC, drunks would finally feel the paranoia weed smokers face on workplace tests—slamming beers Friday, then sweating Monday’s screen, exposing the hypocrisy of a system that clears booze fast but punishes lingering cannabis.

@medicalgrower42 It is a crime that law enforcement runs ahead with testing and consequences without nailing down the impairment.

It's bullshit that employers still piss-test for jobs even if you're a legitimate medical marijuana patient. These tests don't detect impairment—they just flag lingering THC metabolites from weeks ago, punishing responsible patients while ignoring alcohol, opioids, or real risks. Time to ditch this outdated hypocrisy for actual impairment testing.

@sukoluhle0101 @XFreeze You are clearly part of the problem.

Let’s be real: Starlink isn't "blocked" because of race; it’s stuck because Elon refuses to play by the same rules as every other multinational in SA. Invoking Madiba to justify zero local ownership is insulting. We need the internet, but we also need a country where billionaires don't think they’re above the law.

Elon Musk speaks hard truths on what Nelson Mandela actually stood for and how South Africa has completely lost that Starlink is still blocked in Elon's home country because he is not black "The vision that Nelson Mandela, a remarkable leader, proposed was for all races to coexist equally in South Africa. Currently, there are around 140 laws that preferentially benefit Black South Africans over others" Mandela fought for absolute equality, but the current system has betrayed that vision They cannot claim to honor Mandela’s legacy of racial harmony while enforcing 140+ race-based ownership quotas. That is not progress - it is just discrimination wearing a new mask By actively blocking Starlink over these "discriminatory laws," bureaucrats are literally keeping their own rural schools and communities disconnected from the future

@aakashgupta Worlds largest exporter of coal.

@aakashgupta Australian coal is a good example. A country of 27 million only needs so much coal . 80 % is exported.

The economics here are wilder than most people realize. India produces 24-26 million metric tons of mangoes per year. About 45% of the entire planet's supply. And they export... 32,000 metric tons. That's 0.13%. Mexico produces a fraction of what India does and exports 10x more by dollar value. India's mango export revenue is ~$60 million. Mexico's is $575 million. Why would the world's largest producer barely sell to the outside world? Because 1.4 billion people who consider mango a staple fruit create a domestic market so large that the marginal return on exporting is almost zero. The internal price clears. The logistics of cold-chain shipping a tropical fruit halfway around the world can't compete with selling it fresh at the market down the street. India has over 1,000 mango varieties. The ones most Indians eat (Langra, Dasheri, Chausa) are so fragile they'd never survive export. The only variety that ships well, Alphonso, represents a tiny fraction of total production. The "less than 1% exported" stat sounds like a failure. It's actually a demand curve so steep that the rest of the world barely gets a taste.
