Lmao yes technically correct. The grapes aren't doing anything new, they're acting as a microwave resonator which makes some very interesting plasma physics you can do with a grape in the microwave. However, this is not a new phenomenon and there are much more convenient microwave resonators you can build out of metal.

Anubis isn't supposed to be hard to avoid, but expensive to avoid. Not really surprised that a big company might be willing to throw a bunch of cash at it.

I can't say I'm ever particularly aware of my gender when I'm dreaming

"In a study that has yet to undergo peer review..." tells you all you need to be concerned about for right now. AMOC is a very complex phenomenon and not easy at all to model. All conclusions should be properly vetted before becoming actual news.

As a visual learner I prefer the Finnster standard reference sample

I've got a print of this beauty framed, hanging on my wall.

+1 For KeepassXC, I use it in combination with syncthing to have my passwords available on all devices.

Cloud iridescence! . Typical with thin high atmosphere clouds. When very small ice crystals or water droplets form the cloud they can diffract the light from the sun, causing an interference pattern to form. Not entirely dissimilar from an oil slick.

No part of this article involves AI making independent discoveries. The researchers used ML to map muscle contractions to wing motion.

It's interesting, but a far stretch from what OP wrote for the title.

I'm always amazed about the lack of conversation around nationalizing telecom. We have sasktel as a great example of how it can work, and hydroquebec as a great historical representation of the benefits of publicizing infrastructure. Seems about time to start recognizing internet as a necessary utility that the government directly provides to the people.

Does the author not know that there's a difference between a virus and a bacterium?

Fun thing is that in Montreal, 'North' is refereed to as the direction where streets go away from the river, which ends up being the WNW, further from north than "East".

that's not how addition works

I frequently wear safety glasses, you can get some that can be worn on top of a pair of glasses but still provided wrap around protection like:

This is similarly true to a container of gasoline. The difficult part is we've yet to find a battery tech that comes even close to the same energy density. Gasoline has nearly 12000 Wh/kg, compared to the 200-500 mentioned in the article.

For the longest time I thought pressure-treated wood meant it was treated with pressure. Only just crossed my mind that it means they use pressure to get the treatment chemicals further in the wood.

no matter how much you try, traffic will be the end of your city

Ah of course, the bog blog log
