Viral Thanksgiving grandma's bittersweet reunion

Wanda Dench and Jamal Hinton have celebrated Thanksgiving together ever since she accidentally texted him four years ago, mistaking his number for her grandson's.
This year is bittersweet, though, as they are remembering Wanda's husband, Lonnie, who died from Covid-19.

Iran's most senior nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh has been assassinated near the capital Tehran, the country's defence ministry has confirmed.

 

This is without a doubt one of the most spectacular pieces of anthropological news there's ever been:

Thousands of rock art pictures depicting huge Ice Age creatures such as mastodons have been revealed by researchers in the Amazon rainforest. The paintings were probably made around 11,800-12,600 years ago, according to a press release from researchers at Britain's University of Exeter.

 

A very intense interview with Romain Grosjean, detailing how he walked out of his horrific F1 accident:

That guy has an enviable spirit.

This is why Intel has fallen off the podium of top chip producers. Wasting engineering talent and money on this type of media driven hype.

Someday though, your toaster might need a nap from time to time, as may your car, fridge and anything else that is revolutionized with the advent of practical artificial intelligence technologies.

Manmade mass now outweighs life on Earth
Estimating changes in global biomass and manmade mass since 1990, the research showed that the mass of human-produced objects stood at just three percent of the weight of biomass at the start of the 20th century.

I've always been worried about the proliferation of man-made capacitance. The earth has only about 700uF of natural capacitance, a pittance compared to the accumulated capacitance of artificial devices. The popularity of Supercaps has only made the problem worse.

What happens when we run out of electrons to fill all these capacitors? Who will be charged with ensuring that existing electrons get shared fairly, and all those in need of electrons gets theirs -- regardless of income, talent, race, creed, etc.?

Yes. Capacitance Credits -- to be handed out from the gov't just like indulgences from the church.
