A heads up to anyone with Octopus in the UK for their energy.

If you're on the agile tariff which fluctuates daily depending on renewables... Tomorrow is a bumper day.

From around 11pm tonight, until 4pm tomorrow... the price has gone negative.

This means, for every kwh of energy you import and use, they will pay you the corresponding fee.

Sadly... I'm not on this one, but i do follow the prices, to see if it would work for me... But until I can sort out proper home automation (given that setting up the raspberry pi has quadrupled in price recently, so... unlikely). it's not worth switching.

Pressure groups including the Aquatic Animal Alliance and Aquatic Life Institute are urging Universidad Autonoma de Mexico to cease its cephalopod farming operations in the Yucatan, citing elevated mortality rates and potential biosecurity risks.

Scientists have discovered that male octopuses use a specialised arm, the **hectocotylus**, to sense female hormone **progesterone** and mate without seeing their partner.
The arm acts like a tongue, detecting chemical cues to locate the female’s reproductive organs.
This insight reveals how solitary octopuses achieve reproduction at arm’s length. #MarineLife #Octopus #Sciencehttps://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/apr/02/sex-octopus-specialist-arm-mating-science

Anyone else wondering if Jeremy Hansen, the Canadian astronaut on #Artemis2, has like several Canadarms on his back Doc Ock style?
