Remember those packages of #seeds you bought because you were planning on growing a #garden, but the dirt isn't very good for growing crops? Go outside, wet the ground until moist, and toss the seeds down. Just remember to water every day. #water is #life, and life attracts life.

There's a tech plan that's quite dire,
To build datacentres that require
Water from arid lands,
It's hard to understand,
Why they'd drain the world's driest mire.

ICYMI: The #physics of #Earth's tides connects our everyday beach experiences to the cosmic dance of celestial bodies. This TED-Ed #animation explains how the #Moon and #Sun's gravitational pull creates those rhythmic rises and falls of #ocean #water we observe.

What's fascinating is how these same tidal forces work across our solar system—squeezing and stretching #Jupiter and #Saturn's moons, creating hidden oceans beneath Europa's icy shell, and even powering Io's volcanoes.
