#FotoVorschlag: Dem Boden ganz nah // Very close to the ground

Damit diese #Braunalge dem Meeresboden ganz nah ist, bildet sie so eine komische Knolle, mit der sie sich an Felsen verankert. Diese schnell wachsende, einjährige Algenart kann bis zu 4 m lang werden und wächst in Tiefen bis 35 m. Im Herbst ist Feierabend, und oft wird die Knolle dann wie hier an den #Strand geschwemmt.

This #brownAlgae stays close to the seabed with the help of its warty, bulbous #holdfast that attaches to rocks. A fast growing, annual #seaweed, it can reach up to 4 metres in length and is found at depths of up to 35 metres. In autumn, it begins fruiting and starts to decay, with the #bulb often washing up on the #shore.

A close-up of the holdfast of Saccorhiza polyschides (a type of seaweed or kelp), lying on light-coloured sand. The holdfast is dark brown, with a rough, knobbly texture and multiple finger-like extensions radiating outward. Its surface appears slightly weathered, with grains of sand clinging to its structure. The surrounding sand is fine and pale, with a few scattered fragments of shells and debris. The image highlights the intricate, organic form of this marine organism.

Run a Lawnmower on Diesel with Hot Bulb Hack.

If you’re into automotive hacks and don’t watch [Robot Cantina], you are missing out. This hack has [Jimbo] taking a break from automotive hacking to butcher a poor, innocent Tecumseh lawnmower to run diesel fuel [or anything else] by converting the motor into a hot bulb engine.

⁉️Traditionally, a torch would have been used to heat the hot bulb, but here [Jimbo] starts the engine on gasoline with a spark plug at the end of the stack, and disconnect the spark once the hot bulb has warmed sufficiently.⁉️

Given how rough the engine runs before the ersatz hot bulb heats up enough for spontaneous combustion, tradition seems like the way to go. Even once heated up, the “chaos in the combustion chamber” [probably knocking] is enough to pop the [now disconnected] spark plug from the end of the stack of adapters at one point.

While shockingly an inspection revealed no obvious damage to the engine after the first day’s experiments, this is probably not a hack you would want to use on a motor you intended to keep — or run for very long, for that matter.

👾Practical or not, it is fascinating to know you can go back in time to the hot-bulb era with such a simple modification. Watching this motor pop and snarl while drinking down diesel fuel, acetone or 190 proof alcohol is a bit like watching the proverbial dancing bear: the point is not how well it dances, but that it can dance at all. If you can’t get enough of it, they made a second video that features further fuel-testing fun, and even a mowing montage.👾

A daffodil cross that 'wasn't meant to be achieved' made Rod Barwick famous
By Loretta Lohberger

Rod Barwick planted his first daffodil bulbs in the 1970s. Within a few years he was breeding daffodils and has been recognised internationally for his work, but he says enjoying growing plants is the most important part of gardening.

When you enter you may think, "Really, this is the Southern Hemisphere's largest 'ships in bottles' collection?!?" but keep walking through ... WTF! Ok, that's a lot of 'ships in bottles', and 'ships in light bulbs'. #ship #bulb #photography

The #Labour Treasury has no long term consideration of risk…it’s putting #Defra in a financial headlock to make it accept US private equity firm KKR take over of #ThamesWater.

‘However, some economists and industry experts question whether there would be any long-term cost to the government at all in a temporary nationalisation, with many noting the example of #Bulb.’
