Fascinating Connection between Opals and Bats
The media in this post is not displayed to visitors. To view it, please go to the original post.

In February I've joined Slovakian Bat Conservation Society for their yearly census of bats in Opal mines. That's the oldest opal mines in the world, for around 100 they been closed, and recently opened for tourism. But it also perfect place for bats to hibernate during winter. And that's why it's the best time to count them to monitor their population.

Offshoring emissions through used vehicle exports

This is why it is almost impossible to solve climate problems without entire humanity effort. There are always the poor countries to sweep those issues under their carpet, which, of course, are happy to buy a cheap shit, since nobody there can afford anything else. It is the same with the garbage and waste, by the way. But this harmful practice is completely "normal" in our society, because it is just the trade, a pillar of the economies..

We need more trade-free resources and services, which can be naturally focused on making our environment better and not making business profitable and also can be adopted by the less developed countries since it is absolutely free to use.

I think, the article basically says that there are tons of ways to manipulate the "reduction of the CO2 emissions" for a particular country (GB is a researched country, but there are entire regions like US, EU, Japan) by selling polluting used cars to other countries that have no proper climate change regulation standards. Which is why you cannot solve the problem by just agreeing with the "most rich countries" about some standards and thus solve the climate change. Trade opportunities will always find a way..

yeah like Norway or Denmark they are so clean....unless you account for the fact that most of the shit they consume, from food to clothes, materials to their solar panels, is made in "very polluting tribes". it is like hiring criminals to kill people and then claiming that you are not killing people because you personally did not kill anyone....

...and you're assuming that here in the EU everything is fine. I'm an #ebike rider in Portugal, where out in the countryside, there's still thousands of vehicles with defective, stolen or removed emission control mechanisms, or still legal but just pre-dating effective controls. Practically all the old farmers have them.

These drivers often have to demonstrate their frustration at having their pace on tiny roads set 5km/hr slower by a bike, meaning they /have to/ struggle past, foot to the floor benching thick black toxic-smelling smoke for kilometres. Often I have to stop, wait for the fumes to clear before proceeding.

@Aaron is going to present TROM tomorrow in Hamburg at the Chaotic Computer Club event. Unfortunately he only has a small, few minutes long opportunity to present the project in a workshop-like way. We tried to get TROM to the main event but there were too many applying (over 600) so we were no accepted. We will try next year.

But awesome that Aaron is there and he is trying to spread the message.

If we will have any videos and photos we will share with you on our Friendica :)

I (Tio) will do a live for several hours to talk a bit about my plans for TROM for the next year(s). I may allow others to join in but since this is a special TROMcast about some specific updates I want to talk about, it may only be me streaming.

TROM II: A Message to The Aliens (documentary) - tromsite.com/documentaries/tro…

Now fully subtitled into Spanish, making it available to many millions of people who only speak spanish. All thanks to the wonderful Rafa and Vicky, and Cesar.


The amount of work to subtitle such a documentary in a professional way is quite intense and these people are doing it without asking anything in return. That's how we all should be. To do the things we feel are important and not worry about how to survive on this planet.

If you want to help us translate the documentary in more languages please contact us. tromsite.com/contact/

Wow. @emilymbender, University of Washington computational linguist, deconstructs algorithmic tools, aka automation.

“#AI” is a marketing term dating to the 1950s, when it was employed to secure research dollars.

What is being automated?
By whom and why?
Who benefits?
Who is being harmed?
How well does it work?
Who is accountable?
What laws/regulations apply to what is being automated?

Well worth the ~5 minute investment

‘The Gospel’: how Israel uses AI to select bombing targets in Gaza

And here we are, folks, using the modern tech to kill people more effectively. Don't forget to ask the chatgpt which people of what part of the world deserve to be anihilated today, while consuming your morning coffee..

And yeah, there's something utterly disgusting and barbaric in naming their war AI in the name of religion, the holy crusades are back..

Crazy, fucked up world we live in..

TROM II: 4. Hope


Despite the fact that humans have created so much misery, so much destruction, so many mountains of waste, and wasted so many brains for the past thousands of years, there is some hope in sight. But to understand and harness that hope, they must take a giant step back and look at their society from an alien perspective.

They have to let go of what they think is normal and try to undress the layered society they have created, to see the naked reality behind it all. Only then can hope be understood. Only then, the understanding of hope can become the bedrock for change.

Yup, mesmerizing.. And even the fact that these exact parameters - the sizes of the Moon and the Sun and the distances between them and Earth, allow to observe full or annular eclipses from the surface how they are, is so unique to our planet. There's no other planet in our solar system which allows to see such a perfect coverage of the sun by its moon or moons.

@Roma @Tio

You know why the moon can perfectly cover the sun during a solar eclipse? There's nothing mysterious about it, the moon is actually getting further away from Earth as its orbit grows about 1.5 inches larger every year, it's just that all of us happen to live around the exact time where earth and moon are at the right distance away to make total solar eclipse possible - a wonderful coincide 🙂 However this also means we won't always have this kind of eclipse forever as the moon gets further away from earth.
