Set Break: Finding mixed emotions in the cognitive brain

Neuroscientists have long wondered whether mixed emotions are just the brain flickering between contradictory emotions very quickly

New research shows that mixed emotions (positive + negative simultaneously) involve a distinct brain state, especially in more advanced parts of the brain that process uncertainty and involve complex thinking

Set Break: New tokamak fusion experiment in Seville: the SMART tokamak with negative triangularity

Fusion power requires us to hold a very hot plasma in a bottle, composed perhaps of magnetic fields

New SMART tokamak will examine the outward-facing-D in a tall tokamak, helpful for plasma stability

https://www.pppl.gov/news/2024/new-and-unique-fusi...

A new and unique fusion reactor comes together with PPPL's contributions

Figure 1: A side-by-side comparison of a standard plasma configuration, known as positive triangularity, and a plasma created as part of the negative triangularity campaign at the DIII-D National Fusion Facility. Additional armor tiles were installed to enable a temporary divertor region.

Set Break: How did Hurricane Helene stay so powerful through to Appalachia? Partially, the brown-ocean effect

Hurricanes need hot water below them to fuel their spinning vortex, but sometimes they can get this fuel over the land, not just the ocean

See the Brown Ocean effect here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_ocean_effect

Hurricane Helene hit a region over Georgia that had just been inundated, and evaporating water can produce >70 W/m^2 of power for the hurricane to absorb

Plus, the Gulf of Mexico was extremely warm this time of year, amplifying Helene from Category 1 to 4 within a day

Set Break: Bee choices: Bees make irrational choices about hunting for food, just like us

Bees have all kind of cognitive biases!

Bees seem to be disappointed when great flowers get mediocre, and pick them less than other mediocre flowers

Also, having a worse choice made an intermediate choice seem better

Just like us, manipulated at the grocery store...

Set Break: New ways to get lithium out of seawater brine!

Lithium is massively necessary for batteries and other tech, but must be mined or extracted from natural brines

Two new methods speed up the process and may make it more feasible to mine lithium without a huge environmental footprint

good morning.will we be discussing pickling and 'putting by?'
DJ AskTheQuestion 7:36:46 AM
We will discuss whatever you like Dale! Want to pickle some lithium?
DJ AskTheQuestion 7:36:54 AM
Thanks for joining today!
Amy Lee 7:38:33 AM
Good morning DJ AskTheQuestion, Dale & chat. I was just looking at my Putting Food By book yesterday! Not reading it, just saw it on the shelf.
Dale Hazelton 7:39:22 AM
elon is on youtube asking for donations to get in on the ground floor of lithium mining. i think he could afford to do it himself. unless there's a risk of losing money, of course.
Dale Hazelton 7:40:48 AM
amy lee - i haven't canned in years. i think applesauce was the last thing i made when i had a good producing tree (since dead and became firewood).
DJ AskTheQuestion 7:42:27 AM
Woofta! I'm going to keep this an Elon-free airspace while I can help it
DJ AskTheQuestion 7:42:50 AM
Canning story? Thanks for the book recommendation Amy!
Amy Lee 7:42:58 AM
The ground floor of lithium mining...
DJ AskTheQuestion 7:49:32 AM
Lithium for you and you and you! All the lithium you could need!
Amy Lee 7:51:10 AM
opening bid?
Dale Hazelton 7:52:21 AM
maybe he's developed a method that requires fewer poor children.
Dale Hazelton 7:57:29 AM
here's buddy rich on some mattell electronic drum pads. not as exciting as the drum buddy though.

DJ AskTheQuestion 8:06:39 AM
I certainly hope that poor children are spared the worst of our battery-hungry future.
DJ AskTheQuestion 8:07:03 AM
Thanks for sharing! I can't say I really understand whether the drum buddy is similar or completely different to your mattel drum pads
Amy Lee 8:19:56 AM
Did anyone else start drumming as a child using oatmeal canisters?
Dale Hazelton 8:25:12 AM
i played the french horn in elementary and high school. haven't picked one up since. but i still cary a mishapen smile from the tiny mouthpiece moving my teeth inward - sort of a dracula look.
DJ AskTheQuestion 8:30:30 AM
Oatmeal canisters are fun, but I remember using a 5 gallon bucket in a drum circle as a teen
DJ AskTheQuestion 8:30:54 AM
Sounds like a dead giveaway for french horn players, Dale! I bet you recognize each other on the street
Amy Lee 9:18:49 AM
DJ AskTheQuestion, again, I thank you for providing links that I look forward to reading.

I love the weird smell of the black walnut green ball
Dale Hazelton 9:46:10 AM
a squirrel packed a floor joist bay full of walnuts here once. i took up one of the old floorboards and shoveled them all out so she would move on. they burned well in the woodstove.
DSM 9:48:40 AM
Dale, yeah I've found large collections in the attic before. Squirrels seem to love em.
Dale Hazelton 9:52:01 AM
i've even found them under a couch cushion and in shoes. there was a hole in the eave where they came in and i got it patched. we all want a warm dry place to live.
Amy Lee 9:55:51 AM
Earlier this summer, I left a pair of work gloves on a table outside. In less than 24hrs, two fingers were stuffed with nesting material - guessing mouse.
Dale Hazelton 9:57:20 AM
oh, here's the elon/lithium thing. it's processing tech, not mining. thanks for the music and interesting topics!
