🎍 Bamboo-based plastic can be made to biodegrade quickly, but still holds up in tough conditions

Bamboo-based plastic can be made to biodegrade quickly, but still holds up in tough conditions
A new method to produce strong, biodegradable plastic from bamboo is reported in Nature Communications this week. The bioplastic resembles oil-based plastics in strength, shapability, and thermal stability but can biodegrade in soil within 50 days, presenting a new pathway toward sustainable plastic alternatives.

#Madagascar : avant de choisir les personnes, il faut que la direction, la méthodologie et le calendrier soient clairement définis.
Et franchement, dans quelle mesure peut-on faire confiance pour le choix d'un Premier ministre Š des députés qui ont avant tout démontré leur versatilité et qui, plutôt que de défendre des idées, défendent prioritairement leurs fauteuils et tickets carburan…

Content warning: re: bitcoin conference report

Of course it's not only the money which is broken.
The music industry is also very crappy. Major pop stars rake in billions while most artists starve. There's only three record companies left, acting as gate keepers determining which sings get the payola to get radio play and Spotify basically gave up paying small artists in order to give Joe Rogan hundreds of millions of dollars.
Terrible situation.
So can bitcoin and lightning fix this?
Thus the after party here in Manchester.
Musicians and rappers at the event embrace V4V, value for value. Busking on the internet. Payment links on screen and on the live stream as they play.
Ainsley Costello tells us that her first song on fountain.fm made her a million sats, way more than any Spotify stream could make even if they still paid small artists.
She played us that song and then a whole range of artists took to the stage, live streamed over nostr, with donations coming in from all over the world.
All of them were talented and entertaining, but in particular Green Sands were tight and energetic and rocking, Edwin Williamson was deep and baritone and country, Roger 9000 really pumped the crowd with his bitcoin based songs and great tiny digital guitar and The Crypto raptor gets a special mention.
It was a really fun party, with musicians who all believe there is a better way than the terrible music industry.
Fast change overs and short sets means there were like ten acts in four hours among a friendly crowd in a dirty dive bar who all shared this common cause.
Full act list, all of whom are with checking out.

huh. TIL: there is a “four corners” place in Canada, like there is more famously in the USA, where Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico meet.
But ours is automatically cooler, figuratively and literally*, because it is a: at 60° Latitude, and b: involves two Territories and two Provinces.
It is where the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba meet.
It is also a LOT harder to get to. Though arguably, as it is amongst the thousands of lakes in the area, during the summer, a float plane would get you there.
Also, technically. It is not a perfect “joining” on the map which is just bad planning on Canada’s part, but at least it is hiking distance. Or that might be just a projection issue. They seem to converge at 60N 102W. I guess I could consult an official boundary document or something :)
