I'm a late-career physicist, currently working on cosmic ray muon tomography. My blessing and my curse is that I'm interested in most everything.
I'm deeply concerned about global warming and the environment.
On my canyon hike yesterday I saw my first bobcat in the wild.
At first I thought I'd only got it's tail in the shot, which is to the right and bottom of the pic, just over the water. But then a friend said "Wait! Is that an eye?" It's to the left of the shot, roughly center in the vertical direction.
Once you see it, the rest of the details of the bobcat slowly fill in.
I can't remember who first posted a link to this, but I just happened on it again and it still has me chuckling.
Really interesting article on projected future for green hydrogen, vs alternatives such as increased electrification and biomass methane.
Green hydrogen will probably stay too expensive to be competitive, according to the article.

Gasoline Car Review

“The dependence on gas stations gives me a lot of anxiety. What if I’m in the middle of nowhere and can’t reach a station before I run out of fuel? What if the station runs out of gas? With a normal car, I can plug in anywhere there is electricity.”
The right focuses on a culture war because they can’t win on policy. Their only policy is further enriching robber barons.
The best way to distract low information voters is to stoke fears of encroaching otherness.
Please keep that in mind when they attack trans people, irreligious people or the Fear du Jour.
It's, uh, National Rubber Ducky Day. Yeah, I know, I should have been aware of this in advance. Sneaks up on me every year, it does.
I'm not even remotely capable of coming up with fresh bespoke #duckies content so I'll just throw you links to my existing relevant websites.
