One day it'll be a custom to share them through the IPFS.

There was an exhibition of traditional arts and crafts.

Meanwhile, I got curious and learned that saltwater electric fish connect their batteries in parallel and freshwater ones in series. One config drives more current, the other more voltage.

That wool, was probably the first fiber woven into cloth, followed by linen, put aside baskets and nets.

There is indeed that nuclei table with all the half-lives and emission modes I never had time to look for. Love those plots they put up on the Wiki, great job gathering all that data.

I was reminded that Spartly islands are a good place to hide subs, even if there isn't that much of oil and gas there.

Turns out it's not that so much enzyme inhibitors that make beans so nasty as milk sugars, for those of us who lack the gene. I will continue ordering my dry Lysine packs.
