Really well done piece from the BBC about the Beiruit explosion: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/extra/x2iutc ... irut-blast

That's a news outlet embracing the modern format rather than copy/pasting a news article into a blog theme.

Which is ruined, in part, by the preview thumbnail, so I took the embed off.

Bird deaths down 70 percent after painting wind turbine blades

Something as simple as black paint could be the key to reducing the number of birds that are killed each year by wind turbines. According to a study conducted at a wind farm on the Norwegian archipelago of Smøla, changing the color of a single blade on a turbine from white to black resulted in a 70-percent drop in the number of bird deaths.
No word on whether or not the black paint will also lead to a drop in cancer prognoses.

Elon Musk is an interesting character. On one hand, brilliant entrepreneur and is paving the way of technology. On the other hand, he's a massive NTP66.

FBI worried that Ring doorbells are spying on police

Hacked documents suggest that the FBI is concerned some people may be using Ring or other smart doorbells to watch the police.
The papers describe a 2017 incident where someone remotely watched live footage of police preparing to serve a search warrant.
The information was found online by The Intercept among hacked documents.
Previously, privacy advocates have raised concerns about data from smart doorbells being shared with police.
The hacked papers, known collectively as BlueLeaks, were stolen from more than 250 police websites.
Boo ****’ hoo.

Heh, our neighborhood facebook page posted a video of a sheriff’s deputy that would stop by a neighbor’s house and play with their dogs a couple of days a week while he was out on patrol. Nothing malicious on either side, just the deputy liked playing with these dogs for a few minutes each day. :lol:

Great. They will be deploying EMPs as protocol during warrant service now.

There was a police shooting here in LA recently, and it was captured by someone's Ring doorbell.

Maybe we should start ordering Ring cameras for the police so that more than just random houses capture the events.

The true size of a gigantic prehistoric megalodon shark that ruled the oceans millions of years ago has been revealed for the first time -- and it had teeth as big as hands, and a fin as tall as a human adult.

Researchers at the University of Bristol, in southwestern England, and at the Swansea University, in south Wales, used mathematical calculations to work out the size of the megalodon shark from rare fossil remains of its teeth.

That’s just amazing.

What's the reference I'm thinking of...? A cartoon character calls a shop and goes, "give me the biggest _______ you got..." ... "no that's too big..."

I just can't think of it...
