@Chris-B more like driving to Auckland on the last day of a public holiday weekend?

@taniwharugby Is that something like driving from Nelson to Richmond at 5pm?

@Chris-B never done that drive, but google tells me this is like 15km or so...where I am to AUckland is like 176km and half of Aucklands 20,000,000 population trying to get home at the same time...your drive is peanuts compared to that

My mate knew about the Starlink launch, so we knew what it was, but it was very cool to see.

can't find the clip I saw on Breakfast this morning, but they interviewed Sean Carroll who is a theoretical physicist, was talking about how Parallel Universes can exist...thought it was interesting, if not a bit confusing for my brain

"Smelting plants" to obtain metals - wild!
Petal to the metal: How 'phytomining' could transform mine waste into big $ - Stockhead
‘Harvesting’ high grade metals – such as nickel, gold, and cobalt — from plants just like any other crop is called phytomining, and there’s a lot of research happening right now to turn this into a commercial reality. But how does it work? There’s a select group of so-called ‘hyperaccumulator’...
