INFORMATION YOU MAY NOT HAVE KNOWN YESTERDAY
The latest sign of just how screwed the Arctic is: moss that hasn’t seen the light of day in at least 40,000 years is tumbling out of ice caps on Canada’s Baffin Island thanks to increasingly balmy summers. Based on that and other lines of evidence, research published in Nature Communications on Friday suggests that Canadian Arctic summers haven’t been this warm in 115,000 years or more.

A cottage atop an apartment building in New York City.
Think of the view.

The gif of this guy building a granite wall using this ancient technique was too long.
But with that leverage and even as small as he is, he moved it into place with ease.
^^3^^
Guy said he hated this gear shift.
My uncle had a car in the 50s that had a push-button shifter.
He would let me push the buttons when needed.

Ferdinand Magellan is remembered in the west as the intrepid Portuguese explorer who led the first voyage to circumnavigate the globe, but for the Philippines, he is just another white man who fell to his death attempting to conquer lands that did not belong to him. The real hero—for the Filipinos—is Lapu-Lapu, the tribal chief who famously vanquished Magellan becoming the first Filipino hero to successfully resist colonization by a foreign power. Magellan’s conflict with the proud and unyielding chief resulted in his death, which cut short Magellan’s goals of becoming the first person in the world to circumnavigate the world.
RH: How is it that we were never taught that?

A re-analysis of lunar materials collected during the Apollo 14 mission has resulted in a rather astonishing conclusion: One of the rocks brought back appears to contain a small chunk of Earth dating back some 4 billion years. Incredibly, it’s now amongst the oldest terrestrial rocks known to exist.

Many people don't know that Contact was written by Carl Sagan - yes, that Carl Sagan.
A portion of the movie was filmed at the Arecibo Observatory and my #1 Most Trusted Advisor took me there and showed me the cabin in which Jodie Foster lived while there. My advisor stayed in the same cabin.
The book ends with a closeup of a printer as page after page of pi rolls out. Then a page prints out a zero formed by the decimal extension - a message from the aliens had begun.
One powerful scene has the preacher ask Jodie, "Does your father love you?" Then when she says that he does, the preacher says, "Prove it." He further asserts that she only has faith that he does.
However, trying to guess what thoughts are going through a fellow human being's mind is very different than the belief in talking snakes and the "fact" that dead people can be brought back to life.
^^7^^
I'm guessing that is leftover from our tree-dwelling ancestors.

When nature does an M.C. Escher.
I think they evolved to gather from all over to mate so the genes could be shared from non-relatives.
^^9^^
I also read that the sound this makes is a call for a mate.

During my sojourn in Germany, I became very, very good at that game. Of course, I had a goalie who wouldn't let anything in the hole so I could take my time scoring.
