Il a fait 48°C au Pakistan hier, et cela ne fait que commencer. Il y a une canicule historique en ce moment même en Asie centrale, avec des centaines de records pulvérisés. Même chose en Iran, Irak aux Emirats Arabes Unis, Arabie Saoudite.. En avez-vous entendu parler ?

What #geologists do that they find fun? What about sending a funnel with a 15 kg stone attached to it into a karst you cannot see in pressurised 102°C water? Can't remember having that much fun for a while especially when we started seeing the pure gaz accumulating in the Erlenmeyer. 🧪⚒️

Our faithful van didn't pass the MOT and although it runs, the sea has eaten most of its body in 23 years. Plastic@Bay CIC has no more way of transporting several tons of plastic from the shore while towing our UTV. It has served us well in the last 9 years. I wish I had the workshop to fix it.

Somewhat grim story that adds to the episode (pinned post) that I posted yesterday. Russian army actively encourages suicide among their troops. Because it's cheaper and politically more viable than to pay for any rehabilitation. I'll try to post the original vid as a reply to this post.
