YouTube video by VALOR Media Network Can microbes mine copper better than humans? | Hardpoints

This is what happens when you replace miners with microbes.
Liz Dennett and her team at Endolith extract copper using biology, not bulldozers.
More copper, less environmental impact.

This is what happens when an überdörk hangs out with gymbros.

@artdecider.bsky.social - I need a decision on this!

If we make it through this dark period with democracy intact, it may be because the administration's incompetence was greater than its depravity.

The #blueorigin flight has people talking about women in space.

My favorite: Genuine badass Dr Kathryn Sullivan

As real as they get.

I have a new show I’m hosting with my friend Neal. In our first episode, we talk about how the rules and the consequences only seem to apply to a few.

Got something new to talk about folks.

And something new to listen to!

Except there *IS* a reason. It’s right in the post… something about signing up for being petty.

Agreed. I think KB does it too much, too.

Brazil Pins Hope for Forests on an Unlikely Savior: Wall Street The country’s ‘audacious’ plan to prevent deforestation depends on global financial markets delivering returns.

This is fascinating to me. Forest preservation using finance but not carbon.

Welcome! I’m a Denver resident Orioles fan!

I have no idea why Apple is paying to broadcast these games if they won’t hire the basic talent to make it watchable.

Big time.

Please thank them for their service.

if we had an effective dem party, starting 8:30-9 this am, every dem on capitol hill would be on this story. they'd be calling for hegseth and waltz and the rest to resign, theyd be calling on trump to come clean with the people about what else they leaked. they'd be pushing for investigations etc

Does it really involve an option out of Spring Training?

Looking solid!

And Cooper (!) to finish it up.

Contreras kept the no-no through 8

Baker kept it going too!

Cionel held it down in the sixth, too.

11 pitches for two strike outs and a ground out.

This is me. 2023 was amazing and I want it again.

Also, I find it more fun to watch a non-star struggle and succeed.

Don’t get me wrong - I’m a fan of our top talent - but Gibby is aces to me even if he isn’t an “ace”.

I think there’s good reason to have depth if Suarez is pitching like he is & GRod is already injured after having months off. I think Cade has a slot.

Plus I personally like Gibson. He really relished 2023 & I did too.

Signing Gibby makes me happy.

This will tell you how much Kyle Gibson was loved by his teammates in Baltimore.

Grayson Rodriguez, Kyle Bradish and Tyler Wells share the news of the reunion between the #Orioles and Gibby via their Instagram stories.

Fuck it. That earned a follow!

An Astonishing Sports Record Was Broken Last Year. It’s Historic. Nobody Noticed. The 2024 Baltimore Orioles did something historic—and not even the team knew.

Congrats to the 2024 baltimore orioles for hitting into the fewest double plays in history. slate.com/culture/2025...

The first step is admitting you have a problem!
