Goodbye Natick! Microsoft has given up on one of its coolest projects ever — underwater data center pilot canned despite successful outcomes and won't come back

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand Ukraine has hit another russian #Ropucha landing ship, the "Konstantin Olshansky" (Projekt 775-II, hull 402) with a "Neptun" anti ship missile, the same type that took the Moskva down.

It's a BAD time to be a russian sailor, guys.

Dubai is building a massive artificial reef that will cover an area of 2.4 million square meters. The project aims to create a new marine habitat and boost tourism and fishing. However, some environmentalists question the impact of such a large-scale intervention on the natural ecosystem and biodiversity.

Around 40m off the coast that my school is situated on, there's been a bunch of action with a barge with an excavator on top. It's been picking up something from a container and dumping it into the sea off to the side - It's almost comical how the excavator causes the whole barge to sag to the left.

Apparently they're building an artificial reef - from what I heard, the material is something like oyster shells.

With a lot of #cement and #fossilfuel #CoffsHarbour will get an offshore artificial #reef. It might alleviate the large waves crashing over #Coffs Harbour's North Wall due to #climatechange.
