From 2010 to 2021, the average range of electric vehicles sold globally has almost tripled (from 80 miles to 220 miles). (via @clive) hannahritchie.substack.com/p/e…
We are on our 2nd EV and it's been our experience that range numbers tend to be significantly inflated, particularly during cold or hot weather. And those range values are for new batteries; range decreases with the age of the batteries.
How do scientists do disease surveillance and study biodiversity through the lens of genomics? Citizen scientist Blacki Migliozzi joined a group of jungle field researchers to find out.
Through anecdotes and stunning photography he will walk us through what it's like to work with big cats, primates, birds, bats, frogs, snakes and many other kinds of organisms. He'll also provide first-hand observations of the habitat loss endangering these ecosystems as well as the dangers scientists put themselves in when doing this important work.

I....I really don't know how to describe this video. Bobby Fingers made a diorama of when Michael Jackson's hair caught on fire during the filming of a Pepsi commercial (which, weirdly, occurred almost exactly halfway through Jackson's life). kottke.org/23/03/a-diorama-of-…
With three major new rules this year ("the pitch clock, a ban on the infield shift and limits on pickoff throws"), MLB hopes to speed the game up and to showcase the players' athleticism more effectively. nytimes.com/2023/03/27/sports/…
This recently rediscovered and deciphered stone slab is the oldest map of Europe "for which we can identify the territory it depicts". It's around 4000 years old and depicts (in 3D!) an area in Brittany, France. bigthink.com/strange-maps/euro…
An old favorite link of mine: "This is my personal account of curing my asthma and hayfever by deliberately infesting myself with the intestinal parasite hookworm." web.archive.org/web/2006071903…
I found this site, Consensus, that uses "AI" to find scientific studies to questions. Hookworms seem to be somewhat effective. consensus.app/results/?q=Do%20…
The internet is currently buzzing about mentions of Left 4 Dead 3 appearing in files for the upcoming Counter-Strike 2. So apparently Valve can count to 3.
Ah hell, going to say goodbye to any free time I had for the next month. Halls of Torment has sucked me right in being a blend of retro Diablo and Vampire Survivors.
"I have to admit, I'm pretty sure I scrolled away from this on Steam the first time it came up, thinking it didn't look like much." Same here! 😂 But (for an alpha) it's actually really neat! I've already sunk more hours into the demo than I'm willing to admit. 😅
The HUGE influx of #mainstreaming people are going to be bringing a lot of what for us #openweb natives is easy to see as prat'ish behaver to the #Fediverse. Let's keep this polite and try hand holding before biting 😀

Better yet piss people off with a controversial opinion and defend it so strongly that you come out ahead --- RT @Schaffrillas Some YouTube advice: if you're a channel just starting out, I'd recommend not making videos with universally agreed upon titles like "Spider-Verse is a Masterpiece" or "Why Gravity Falls is Amazing". No one's gonna click on that because no one needs to hear what they already know twitter.com/Schaffrillas/statu…
