If there ever was a time to "err on the side of caution" that time is now.
Neanderthal thinking indeed.
I wish body dysmorphia was cooler, like thinking I looked like a velociraptor instead of a fatter older version of myself.

How the turntables.
Funny in a Schadenfreude sort of way.

A Sink Made Just For Vomiting
It's in a bar in Germany. The handle on the left side is an excellent feature, given that users may feel unbalanced while using the speibecken.
City Guesser
The game City Guesser has the same premise as GeoGuessr in that you are to guess where in the world you are. But City Guesser gives you clues in the form of a video instead of a still picture. I tried the US-only version, and was presented with quite a few towns that I’d never been to. The best strategy, in that case, is to look for clues like street signs, area codes, and native plants. They aren’t all big cities, either. But it’s a lot of fun! It’s not a competitive game, and I don’t think you are judged on how long you let the video play. The answer key tells you how many miles off you are, which is embarrassing when it’s thousands of miles, but if I got within 100 miles, I considered that a win. I did a lot better after I realized the map you use to guess has a zoom feature! Try it out yourself- you may become addicted to City Guesser.

Zip-On Bike Snowtreads
Perhaps this product called reTyre might help. The company of the same name, which is based in Norway, makes snow treads that zip onto bike tires.

Why Rhinos Fly Upside Down Over Namibia
“We’ve been picking animals up by their feet for 20 years now,” says Pete Morkel, a wildlife veterinarian who is considered the world’s foremost expert in black rhinos. The options were either moving the animal by the feet or flat on its side—and placing straps around the feet was much easier than hoisting a sometimes-enormous animal onto a stretcher for transport. The animals sport a blindfold and earplugs to help limit stimuli. “We started small, with zebra and antelope, and then moved on to the big stuff,” Morkel says. “There was a lot of trial and error—and luckily, we haven’t had much error.”
Hyundai Motor unveils future mobility robot 'TIGER'
TIGER has a structure similar to Hyundai Motor's "Elevate" walking car concept that was unveiled at the 2019 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. The TIGER is 80 centimeters long, 40 centimeters wide, and weighs 12 kilograms. It has four legs with extendable wheels that make it capable of moving in any direction over complex terrain.
Astronauts Could Reach Mars Faster Using Nuclear-Powered Spacecraft
Ultra Safe Nuclear Technologies, a Seattle-based company, suggested using nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) engines to fly the astronauts from Earth to Mars. The proposal is said to potentially transport humans to Mars in three months. That is much faster than the current engine design that would take almost nine months for a crewed mission to reach the red planet.
Before There Were Snowplows, There Were Snow Rollers
The snow roller, an old piece of technology that was used to "clear" roads before diesel-powered snowplows roamed the streets. Snow rollers were often weighted with stones to pack down the snow. This particular image dates to 1930 in Maine, so such machines exist within living memory.
Why were there so many serial killers between 1970 and 2000?
The serial killers you know are those you either remember from the news or have seen a movie about Richard Ramirez, David Berkowitz, John Wayne Gacy, Ted Bundy, and Jeffrey Dahmer. There were others, most of them operating between the late 1960s and the turn of the century. Then the era of serial killers petered out. Why?
The New Safe House For The Louvre’s Hidden Treasures
To preserve and store a quarter of a million artworks against flooding, the Louvre museum has moved some of its treasures to a storage site in northern France. Trucks have quietly moved the precious artworks and artifacts from the museum’s basements and other sites to the Louvre Conservation Center, located in Lievin, France. The center already houses 100,000 works:
Carp Will Get A New Name So Americans Can Eat Them - You heard it here first, folks.
Illinois is now trying to convince its residents that they can eat Asian Carp. It’s easy to tell people that yes, they could eat the fish, but it’s another to encourage them to do so. It’s like marketing something that hasn’t been used by people before or something that people initially do not like. For the record, the Asian Carp has a mild flavor, low in fat, and makes ‘excellent table fare’, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS). So what was the state’s first step? Changing the fish’s name.
Asian carp have become an increasingly big headache in the United States. They were imported into the country in the 1970s to eat the algae at wastewater treatment plants, and to help clean up catfish ponds. Flooding and other water-related accidents helped them escape from those controlled environments, and they're now found in the Missouri and Illinois Rivers, and Illinois is doing everything it can to keep them out of the Great Lakes.
But this renaming of fish has already been done quite successfully. There is a game fish called dauphin or dolphinfish or something else that sounds very much like a dolphin the mammal that we all love.
The Deep Space Food Challenge
A manned mission to Mars entails plenty of challenges that don’t pertain to a trip to, say, the moon. How will we sustain astronauts for years at a time, both physically and mentally? It takes a lot of creativity to figure out these things, so NASA is holding a contest to produce innovative ideas for feeding astronauts during a deep space mission.

If you see a bear climb a tree. If the bear climbs up after you it's a black bear. If it knocks the tree down it's a grizzly bear. And if you can't find a tree it's probably a polar bear.

C7 Chilean Sea Bass is actually not a bass. Its Patagonian Toothfish. IT's called sea bass because Chilean fishermen had trouble marketing them.
Photo is a Coelacanth not Asian Carp - but I’m guessing you did that on purpose?
