Photo description: The acorn is missing now in the hole the animal made in the remnants of the Edelweiss that died last year in the flower pot with red houseleek and some grass coming out. The grass has flowers now and the housleek grew bigger, as the winter is over.

This is an organic situation like, im just posting. Let's talk Disasters

It was a rainy day and I took a small broken off piece home for some macro-photography. This lichen, also called coral lichen or Cladia retipora has a slow-growing, highly absorbent lattice-like structure. The colonies expand at only a few millimeters a year, and normally I find little buds about the size of a golf ball, so to find a granite outcrop with 100+ domes each about the size of a basketball hemisphere was pretty rare. It had just rained too, so they have absorbed a ton of water. In the close-up you can see how the structure interacts with the surface tension of water to hold water droplets within the lattice itself, not just absorbed into the body of the lichen.

This species are unique to my part of the world so its pretty exciting to find such a huge undisturbed colony.

Terms of Service: The Length of Common Digital Contracts Do you take the time to read the terms of service before you agree to when downloading the latest app or software?

Of course you do…

The world is awash with apps and internet services that ask potential users to agree to a service agreement. Most people click on ‘agree’ and move on, knowing that reading the service agreements could put them to sleep and defer their favorite internet fix.

This short video suggests that reality might not exist independently, but could depend on the observer.

It even claims this idea might help unify relativity and quantum mechanics.

Not sure if it’s true, but I found it mildly interesting.
