@mguhlin I make Chai - it's great. Just boil some cloves, ginger, cinnamon stick, pepper, and black and green cardamom for 20 minutes or so, then add a couple of teabags to steep for as long as you like. Strain, and drink plain, or with milk and sugar, or even iced. Nice strong flavors - use fresh cloves and grind them - and really delicious hot with milk and sugar. I think you can buy it in teabags, too, if you want to avoid this drawn-out process!

This cover of The Weight crossed my timeline tonight, I've never heard it before but the arrangement is absolutely outstanding, a wonderful cover of a great song. https://youtu.be/ph1GU1qQ1zQ
@magicaltrout That was really nice - thanks!

#NASA’s #PerseveranceRover Records the #FirstSounds of a #DustDevil on #Mars
“In a stroke of luck, the SuperCam microphone on Perseverance was turned on the moment a dust devil swept directly over the rover.”

Someone just mentioned the differences between #Twitter and #Google regarding user data. Yes, indeed.
I've worked inside #Google twice. Their explicit rules, approvals, logging and "need to know" requirements for access to user data are most impressive. Anyone even attempting to access user data inappropriately is fired and marched out the door by security. This is part of why I have a great deal of trust in Google, and consider Elon's #Twitter to be utterly untrustworthy and totally beneath contempt.
@rdaily Good for him. I did the same thing, and will be glad to follow him here and on other sites.
If true and if it pans out, this is huge news for climate change and for the world.

Wisdom, the world’s oldest known wild bird, has returned to Midway Atoll!
The famous Laysan albatross is at least 71 years old. Biologists first banded her in 1956 after she laid an egg, and the large seabirds aren’t known to breed before age 5.
