New archaeological research has found that Homo erectus, an extinct species of primitive humans, went extinct in part because they were 'lazy'.

US Police have made an arrest in a fatal hit-and-run case after an obscure part of a car headlight was identified by a social media user. On Thursday 9 August, Washington State Police appealed on Twitter for information after a cyclist was hit by an unidentified black vehicle. Officers shared a photograph of a small piece of metal recovered at the scene. However, it was after the image was posted to Reddit that a breakthrough came.

The photograph was shared in the sub-Reddit "WhatIsThisThing", which is dedicated to determining obscure objects, plants and animals. Jeff, who goes by the user name /u/JeffNuts, responded to the post, identifying the black piece of metal as a section of a "Chevy Silverado headlamp bezel".

A grainy cellphone clip recorded by a driver shows what happened next: The men’s Daewoo sedan passes the cyclists and then makes a sharp U-turn. It doubles back, and aims directly for the bikers, ramming into them and lurching over their fallen forms. In all, four people were killed: Mr. Austin, Ms. Geoghegan and cyclists from Switzerland and the Netherlands.

Two days later, the Islamic State released a video showing five men it identified as the attackers, sitting before the ISIS flag. They face the camera and make a vow: to kill “disbelievers.”
...
“I don’t buy it. Evil is a make-believe concept we’ve invented to deal with the complexities of fellow humans holding values and beliefs and perspectives different than our own … By and large, humans are kind. Self-interested sometimes, myopic sometimes, but kind. Generous and wonderful and kind.”

“No greater revelation has come from our journey than this,” he wrote.

In the video released by the Islamic State after the couple’s death, the men pledging allegiance to the group can be seen sitting on a stone slab, an aquamarine lake partly visible over their left shoulders. It’s the kind of panorama that the young couple might have stopped to capture and post on their blog.

About 1 per cent of people have coeliac disease, an autoimmune disorder that makes them react badly to gluten proteins in wheat. But a further 12 per cent feel ill after eating wheat-based foods like bread and pasta, despite not having coeliac disorder.

PHOENIX (KSAZ) -- Come September 17, people will be able to carry miniature horses onboard Southwest flights as trained service animals, according to airline officials.

Officials announced the policy change, via a statement on its website on Tuesday. In the statement, officials name miniature horses, along with dogs and cats, as some of the most common service animals that will be accepted onboard. Passengers, however, will need to be able to provide credible verbal assurance that the animal is a trained service animal.

Here is a useful paper that answered some of my personal questions about this.

Spoiler:

I find that, for temperatures below 70 K, the sublimation rate of an exposed ice surface is much less than one molecule of water vapor lost per square centimeter of surface per hour

We'd better hurry.

 

Just like something from a well known book.

Venezuela has pulled the TV show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? after devaluing its currency, which is now worth so little, the top prize was meaningless.

Venezuela's economy is in free-fall and the Government has had to take drastic steps to devalue its currency the bolivar. Even Venezuelan millionaires are worth about NZ$6.

Poor Venezuela and its citizens ... it's like watching a horrendous economic train-wreck ...

 

Poor Venezuela and its citizens...

They're only getting what they voted for -- good, long, and hard. I've no sympathy for them.

Many of those who didn't vote for it have already left the building.

Here's a Venezuelan professor who can read the writing on the wall, but simply cannot understand it.

So much for critical thinking skills.
