Entitled US influencer also learns that is it not a good idea flying to Antarctica in the middle of winter. Glad he didn't endanger anybody else, that is also a miracle.
This must be the reason dogs feel earthquakes minutes before humans do. A couple weeks back I read an article here (HN) regarding earthquakes being linked to MF changes and solar storms. This aligns to that finding as well. Interesting!
Monuments are awesome, they are great for stories to be told, and for remembrance of long past peoples and events. But placing anyone alive on a pedestal isn't healthy. Worst even placing oneself on a pedestal.
Not sure if there are studies on this, but all my life I've seen an exaggerated fascination regarding musicians, actors, entrepreneurs, politicians, sports players or journalists. I've felt it myself, but the older I get, the more I try to exchange fascination for moderate respect.
But I'm not alone on this, people care about other people, for the wrong and correct reasons. We all are looking for our identity, and usually look for traces of it in other people. IMHO this is the greatest problem of our time. Perhaps it has always been a problem, but a more obvious one now that we are all connected.
Anyhow, I wrote this as context for my own thesis: "Fascination with celebrities doesn't have to do with intelligence", it is narcissism and loneliness rolled into a single expression. As evidence I've seen plenty of smart people fascinated with Elon Musk, Angela Merkel or Queen Elizabeth II.
Important topic, that needs to be talked, but I feel moving it to the realm of "smart people vs fools" is very unproductive, and basically missing the point.
I emailed the developer of Reeder about exporting my Readability's bookmarks, but never got a reply. I feel better now that I'm not the only one not getting a reply. Thanks!
When talking about Neruda's life, don't leave out the fact he had a mentally challenged daughter. He had her institutionalized to never visit again in her entire life. He was a great poet, lived a lavish life, had many women and an eccentric lifestyle. But he was no role model, in fact, he was far from it.
Wrong, he died from Cancer. Only in the past few years this conspiracy theory surfaced. It is well known he was very ill way before the military coup. In fact, the left wanted him to be the candidate instead of Salvador Allende, but he didn't go for it, because he was involved in medical treatments.
This is just the left trying to rewrite history, and please don’t cite journalists as sources. It is said that journalists have a bast amount of information but an inch of depth on it.
Air already has X amount of water, you cannot get more than X. It doesn't matter if X is very tiny like in deserts or very large like in the middle of the pacific ocean.
Yes, you can extract water from air. You have just re-invented distillation, in a painfully mind blowing way.
In Chile we have the driest desert on earth, the Atacama desert, this projects have “tried” to address the challenge of getting fresh water in remote communities located in such places. State funds have been directed toward similar "science" projects. TV has dedicated time and resources to explore this "idea".
This has to stop, the amount of water that you can extract from air is related to the amount of humidity in that place's air. You don't need much to understand that the amount of water in the air isn't much in places such as deserts. And if you have lots of humidity in the air, you can probably get water from other sources, such as rain.
Today, after the Mexico city earthquake, there where 50 buildings collapsed, probably hundreds of people dead, and a volcano erupting... but your "news" site doesn't show any of it... sorry but your site is a miss
