The Center for Human Rights and Privacy has a great article describing a tear down of a Flock spy camera which includes a giant 10.8v, 19Ah, 205.2 Wh rechargeable lithium ion battery. Seems four of those might make a great battery pack for an electric bike. https://www.cehrp.org/dissection-of-flock-safety-camera/ There are an awful lot of Flock cameras around: https://deflock.org #flock #righttorepair #solarpunk

My brother and partner were visiting Marcos island in Florida on their sail kayaking adventure and took a picture of this very cute mollusk “I’m looking at you!” It looks like what I call a cone shell but I’m not sure. Update from comment: “It is a Florida Fighting Conch. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strombus_alatus” #mollusk #shell #FloridaFightingConch

I have succeeded in a critical endeavor that by all great and learned researchers in this field deemed nigh impossible after spending many years on this quest! I have found Castle in the Sky with the CORRECT dub! Confirmed by the audio at 21:15: “Whoahh! Leave it to my little idiots to start a riot. Where is she … Where are you sweetie? Uh-oh, you’ve made a friend.” And have now communicated all the necessary information to the esteemed researcher much to her delight. #CastleInTheSky
