India's new CDS inherits a packed agenda: completing military integration, refining force structures, accelerating critical modernisation programmes, and preparing for future wars. Jointness must now move from concept to execution: Arjun Subramaniam or-f.org/39095 #India #Defence #Security #NationalSecurity

built a perfect sleep routine. lying awake refining it.

We've always had more oil--- it's just Saudi oil is cheaper to extract and needs less refining. New tech is making both issues less of a factor.

we're not burning the llms into silicon we're making them more efficient and effective by refining them with our GeoRefine software

My Ethan’s Typhlosion Guide is finally live. After nine months of testing, refining, and competing with the deck that earned me nearly all of my Championship Points, I’m excited to share everything I’ve learned. metafy.gg/guides/view/bonded…

PMET has completed a concept study looking at a potential longer-term refining pathway at Shaakichiuwaanaan — converting spodumene concentrate into battery-grade lithium carbonate directly at site. Key points: • 7 processing options reviewed • Primero’s ALi® atmospheric leach process selected as the preferred pathway for further study • Bench-scale testwork produced 99.8% Li₂CO₃ battery-grade lithium carbonate • Overall process recovery of 92.5%, including calcination • Potential to reduce logistics intensity by shipping a higher-value lithium product instead of moving large volumes of concentrate • Could leverage Québec’s low-cost renewable hydro power, including potential electric calcination Full NR here: pmet.ca/news/concept-study-i… $PMET $PMT.AX

@grok is it true that Elon Musk is a strong advocate for solar energy with over 50 posts in the last year outlining the importance of the sun as our main source of energy? Will current oil shortages from the war make mining, refining, and transport easier or harder going forward?

Russia’s refinery advent calendar adds another page: June 2026. Today’s forecast: 🔥 100% chance of heat ⛽ Reduced refining capacity 💨 Persistent smoke over strategic facilities Stay tuned!

Virtuous circle The more refining output and oil export revenue russia loses The less money to spend on air defences The more refining output and oil export revenue is lost This is a genuine unrecoverable death spiral 🇺🇦!

The castle is a trip. Make sure you get as many bosses as possible. And also go find the Ragnarok through one of the doorways. There's card players who have duplicate rare cards for refining.

China controls roughly 70% of global critical mineral refining capacity overall — dominant in 19 of the 20 minerals tracked by the IEA — and more than 60% of cobalt, lithium, and manganese processing specifically. The point most Western policy discussions miss: China's advantage is not in mining the ore. It is in the hydrometallurgical conversion step — the chemical process that transforms ore concentrate into battery-grade material — which takes 7-10 years to permit and build in a Western regulatory environment. Mining the ore is the easy part; the moat is in the processing layer.

The play it nice with Trump strategy never works. Trump doesn’t even want that, as it’s not good for TV. They make their share off refining and exporting, so our focus on west coast. With 3-5 LNG expansions or new capacity in development, we’ll be fine.

Time just is, until it isn’t Celestial bodies are in constant motion. There is no fixed position in space from which one can observe absolute motion. Since all motion is relative, the position of the observer must be noted when discussing stellar motion. From the Earth, we see apparent motions of celestial bodies on the celestial sphere. In considering how stars follow their orbits around galaxies, we assume a hypothetical observer at some distant point in space. Traditionally, astronomy has furnished the basis for the measurement of time, a subject of primary importance. The year is associated with the revolution of the Earth in its orbit. The day is one rotation of the Earth about its axis. The universe doesn't include a convenient sheet of graph paper at absolute rest that we can trace paths on. The best we can do is use distant stars (sidereal). Time literally means "star time." The sidereal day is the time required for the Earth to rotate once relative to the background of distant stars—The period from one vernal equinox to the next. - A second is 1/86,400 of the time that it takes the Earth to rotate once on its axis. With 24 hours in a day, 60 minutes per hour, and 60 seconds per minute, there are 86,400 seconds in a day. There has never been a more accurate definition for the second, and there never will be. Give me a sec. It’s the second small part of an hour. The Latin for the first small part is "pars minuta prima," meaning they divide the hour by minutes first. Latin for the second small part is "pars minuta secunda." That is, they divided the hour by the number of seconds in a second. Since then, we’ve just been refining the accuracy of what we call a second. October 5th to October 14th never happened in 1582. No one was born; No one died; Nothing happened. And from September 3rd to September 13th, 1752, nothing was seen.

The $7.4 trillion annual IMF fossil fuel subsidy figure is mostly implicit — estimated health costs, carbon not priced in, forgone tax revenue — not direct cash. The IEA's $620-921 billion direct subsidy number is what governments actually transferred in 2023. Every emergency measure listed here (Japan $20 billion, Indonesia $8.4 billion, Thailand $65 million per day) was demand suppression, not supply creation. 'You can't blockade the sun' is correct on physics — it misses that cobalt, lithium, and the rare earths in the inverters and battery packs run through supply chains China controls at 60-70% of global refining capacity.

Keep refining always

GN JN & hope y'all had an absolutely HAPPY SUNDAY all across Web3 ☕🌞🛸 We’re heading into the top of Sunday, and the weekend is slowly winding down. While many are resting or recharging, we’re still here .. still journeying, still refining, and still Px-perfecting the next chapters ahead. Our goal has always been to make this Journey more accessible and enjoyable, not just for those already deep in Web3, but for anyone who wants to explore it properly. Step by step, we’re working on making everything smoother, clearer, and more welcoming. So here’s the question: Is it time to Px, and is it time to Journey? (Psst .. here’s a hint: YES .. it’s always a great time to stay pixelish.) Happy Sunday, beautiful fam. Rest well if you need it, and we’ll see you back on the Journey soon again, at tomorrow's dawns new GM GMs .. Pixel on. Journey on. LFG .. 🌞❤️ #PixelJourney #PXJ #PxDie #HappySunday #StayPixelish #JourneyForever #LFGrow
